IF YOU THINK LIFE IS COMPLICATED, TRY IMMORTALITY. Justine Bennett is cursing her life. She?s the Guardian of the Goblet of Eternal Youth, she hasn?t left the house in ages, and it?s been over 200 years since she?s had sex. Oh, and the Goblet has shape-shifted into an espresso machine named Mona. Not exactly the stuff grand destiny is made of... Derek LaValle is worried. Due to a family curse, he?ll be dead in the space of a week unless he finds the Guardian of the Goblet of Eternal Youth and beheads her. Which wouldn?t be a problem if she weren?t so sexy, smart... and ready to behead him right back.

Date Me, Baby, One More Time

Derek is trying desperately to stop the curse that is killing the men
in his family. Each man dies on their thirty first birthday. Derek is
next and his twin brother Quin is right behind him. He has one week to
find and kill the Guardian, and take the Goblet from her to break the
curse.

Justine Is the Guardian and she has spent two hundred years protecting
the Goblet from those seeking it's secret to eternal youth. Justine
lives with her friend Theresa who was transformed into a dragon after
drinking from the Goblet. Protecting the goblet keeps them isolated
from almost everyone except for Iris, Justine's deceased mother who
appears periodically from the afterlife to visit.

Iris appears one morning and informs Justine that unless she passes a
Qualifying Incident, Iris will not be able to go to heaven. Instead
she will be made Satan's lover. Satan has been trying desperately to
woo Iris to no avail and has found a way for the Council to possibly
approve his request to have her. The Council is the governing body of
the Afterlife.

Derek discovers where Justine lives and goes to her home hoping that
she is the Guardian. After a brief tousle and some interesting
conversation, Justine and Derek decide to have dinner and trade
secrets. During their date the attraction between them becomes
undeniable and before they know it they're wrapped in each other's
arms. On their way out of the restaurant they're confronted by a
Rivka--one of Satan's helpers. The Rivka needs to kill Derek before he
kills Justine. Instead, Justine and Derek team up and try to find a
way to break Derek's curse and save Justine's life as well. If she
doesn't kill Derek for trying to steal the Goblet, Justine will be
sentenced to The Chamber of Unspeakable Horrors.

Justine and Derek discover a huge secret that Justine's mom has been
hiding. They also discover who is responsible for Derek's curse. Now
they know who they have to find and what they have to do next, they
still need to kill each other to save themselves though. Is it
possible for Justine and Derek to solve their dilemmas, stay alive, and
stay together?

I was very impressed with Date Me, Baby, One More Time. Stephanie Rowe
transforms what would normally be considered frightening events, into
sexy, side-splitting antics. Satan is absolutely hilarious.
Everything that comes out of his mouth is both silly and scary. Every
character in this story is a riot. Justine and Derek are a gorgeous
and sexy couple and they can really kick butt too! With books like
this, who needs television? Date Me, Baby, One More Time is a must
read. Pick it up and you'll see why!

Amazingly Creative Supernatural Chick Lit!

There is nothing boring when it comes to a chick lit novel about an immortal guardian named Justine, whose sole purpose in life is to protect Mona, a Goblet of Eternal Youth(conveniently disguised as an espresso machine thanks to it's shape-shifting ability), while a man named Derek La Valle strives to break a dreaded curse that kills every man in the La Valle family when they turn 31, while Justine's deceased mother is being wooed by Satan (literally), and Justine's best friend and second in command (who happens to be an 11 foot dragon) meddles in her affairs and fights a strong cyber sex addiction.

There is never a dull moment in this novel! If you're a fan of supernatural chick lit, then Stephanie Rowe's loose series (beginning with the book Date Me Baby, One More Time) is a perfect fit for you! It's light and fun, and definitely creative in many ways. Sometimes you'll be reading it and thinking "My gosh, where does she come up with this stuff!?!", but thats all part of the fun. There are a few surprises, and a ton of imagination.

The plot drags a teeny bit at times, but overall it's a very satisfying story. At the very least, it's different. It seems to me that most supernatural chick lit is either about witches or vampires, but this one takes the term supernatural to a whole new level by creating it's own mythology and paranormal beings! It's full of wit and humor, and you won't be disappointed.

Bottom line, it's a fun easy read, and a great addition to fans of the chick lit genre!

Ridiculous...ly...amusing.

One sip will make you special. Two will make you heal from most harm. Take three sips from Mona, the espresso machine, and wha-bham, immortality.

That's the lure that Justine Bennett, current Guardian, and her dragon lady friend Theresa, have been fending off for nearly 200 years, with little to show for it. No love life, let alone sex, no alcohol, no friends, and very little action in general.

Until, that is, pretzel mogul Derek LaVille's fervent hard work begins to pay off. He's found the infamous Guardian of the Goblet of Eternal Youth and is all to eager to kill Justine, and save not only himself, but future male progeny from early demise. And hey, what's a little beheading between complete strangers? Loads of heat, sex on the brain, lots of excitement, and oh yeah, just for fun, Satan's attempts to claim Justine's mom, Iris, who's been living it up in Purgatory on probation, as his love slave for all of eternity. Not to mention learning more about her absent father and the half sibling she wished she could forget. It's not all fun and games when lives, and unlives, are at stake in a race to figure out how to undo the curse, save her ghostly mother from gloom-doom Hell with Satan, avoid the chamber of tortures, and oh yeah, that thing called love.

Hell, it's all in a day's work. Right? It'd better be, because it doesn't take long for Derek and Justine to see that they have more in common than meets the eye, and oh hell, they might have just found each other's soul mates. And the clock, it really is ticking...

While not a deeply woven tale of emotion, it is a fun little read that keeps your attention to the end. You won't mind the completley superficiality of the characters, and in fact, it works for this type of romance. The paranormal element was well imagined and kudos for Rowe for being so creative and just going with it. The plot itself was well done and fairly complete. Though, there were some random and unexplained parts that you just shrug at, then move on. The cheesiness of it was not only intended but over the top, and tongue in cheek, that you'll just smile and roll your eyes, but in a good way. Will it tug at the heart strings or make your jaw drop? No, but who needs that, when the adventures begin to unfold in a one-two punch that manages to keep you riding high?

Though despite its frills and fun, it's superficial and generic tag line can't carry me to read the next one in the series, which is more of the same, unless I need a very uncomplicated read.
