Book Overview
As Colleen and Gabriel play out tensions between Yankees and Texans, haves and have-nots, and women and men, a Texas sexual revolution threatens to break out... Colleen Sweeney takes one step closer to commitment when she stores most of her belongings in a mini-warehouse and moves into Gabriel's Houston condo complex, God's Country Club. Gabriel Benedict, a freshly divorced emergency room doctor with wealthy parents in Fort Worth and a name-sake two-year-old son, is definitely Mr. Right, but can Colleen leave her past behind and start a future? Then again, can Gabriel accept her as she is: still on the run from a kinky relationship with a cruise director; responsible for her "residentially challenged" father in Boston; and about to be downsized from her job as a librarian? With a compelling cast of characters, God's Country Club is a sendup of political correctness, class, debutantes, self-improvement strategies, do-gooders, networking, and bachelorette parties-"written with great elan" (Rosellen Brown).

Masterful!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Gail Storey is so skilled at blending wit, social commentary, and personal insight that you will find yourself completely absorbed and entertained by this novel. Time and time again I was amused and intrigued by her descriptions of Texas social life -- but the novel is so much more than that, and you should be prepared to question many of your assumptions about modern relationships. I'm very much looking forward to reading more of her work!

Welcome to modern Texas
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Gail Donohoe Storey has done a perfect job of describing the life of a yankee transplanted into the heart of Texas. Her eye for detail about the unique Texas class distinctions is dead-on. Any Texan, former Texan or wanna-be-Texan will love the description of the debutante ball. And any book that includes a scene about Chuy's margaritas is going to get five stars from me. Obviously, the setting was my favorite part of this charming story of love and family. By and large the characters were well-drawn, and the plot was entertaining. The title has nothing to do with the book - just a cutesy phrase unwisely appended to an otherwise entertaining read.
Another exciting trip with Colleen

Gail Storey's Colleen Sweeney is on another tirp in the cultural wilds of Houston and Ft. Worhth. Her off-the-wall incisive observations on the very essence of human feelings and instincts tempered with her original and very funny voice and style make for a book you do not want to miss.
Very funny,entertaining,90's relationship story.Laugh aloud.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 28 years ago
Ms.Storey has created unforgettable characters in the very contemporary relationship of Colleen and Gabriel. The family of origin dramas, the stepmother crisis', and Colleen's attempt to explain to her Yankee boyfriend how Texas won The War, all add up to a hilarious and touching page turner. Read Storey's first book, "The Lord's Motel" for further adventures of her quirky characters
