Catriona McKenna is a mother, first and foremost, until her children are of age to leave the nest. Left to her own devices, and lacking in responsibilities, Cat must find a new way to fill her time. Always adventurous, she decides to try dating, but what begins as the passing of a business card soon turns to sex, and she documents everything in her journal-every last, lusty detail. Her connections with men are a rollercoaster of experience and charm, some guys lacking in both. Not only does Cat navigate this new world of sexual experimentation, but she also balances a job, drama-addicted gal pals, and moral dilemmas that threaten to throw her off game. Through it all, Cat learns the rules of romance and gets better every night. Cat's journal keeps her secrets as she records the emotions and chemical cocktails that bathe her brain. She experiences the very physical side effects of infatuation, desire, and erotic satisfaction and comes to find true beauty in the male side of the species. However, will Cat find love, and if she does, will she welcome it or continue playing cat ... and mouse?
