Haplessly romantic Dan expected ‘no-pain, no-gain’ on dating boot-camp. He didn’t expect to fall for Rob’s wife, or that the pain was only starting.
Dan Taylor is the anti-James Bond. He's the guy no man wants to be (but probably is a bit), and no woman wants to end up with (but probably will).
After a disastrous New Year's Eve, when even being mistaken for a tragic War on Terror widower can't get him into bed, Dan declared his retirement from the world of dating. But his best friend Rob and his wife Hannah, aren't letting him give up so easily. They resolve to put him through dating boot camp, breaking him down to build him up again as a bionic romancer, and get him out of their hair and into someone's pants.
Their belief that they can re-build him is put to the test though, as successive dates see him nearly choking to death on an hors d'oeuvre, poisoning a blind date, and taking the heat for a coquette-ish kleptomaniac. And it's while he's rebounding from these endless disasters that he begins to realise the girl of his dreams may be the wife of his best friend.
