Somethin' Extra
Patty Rice

From Patty Rice comes Somethin' Extra, the story of sassy, cynical Genie Gatlin. A slew of bad relationships causes twenty-something Genie to believe men are good for only two things: their bank accounts and their bedroom skill. Her no-strings attitude leads her to date married men. And it's the perfect setup -- or so she seems to think. In Somethin' Extra, Patty Rice takes the art of the no-attachment relationship to dizzying new heights. Blending graceful, humorous and sensual writing with an extraordinary cast of characters, Rice takes us on a tour of male and female relationships in a most original, provocative and entertaining fashion.

David Lewis is the man who enters Genie Gatlin's life and forces her to second-guess her theory. David appears to have it all -- money, looks, prestige. But beneath the surface are a midlife crisis and a failing marriage that make Genie's youth and charm irresistible to him.

Through much introspection, both Genie and David learn about love, themselves and letting go of the past.
