"Amusing romantic romp"

Ironically as her fame grows due to a bestselling sex therapy book, The Big O, therapist Lecia Calhoun watches her own love life tank. Still Dr. Love as the media calls her makes appearances on talk shows.

Football player Anthony "T" Beals was trying to save his marriage to Ginger when the media caught him with a hooker, which the quarterback insists that it was not what it seemed like. On the same show he is on, Dr. Love says his wife should dump him because of his infidelity and use of a hooker. Anthony blames the sacking of his marriage on Dr. Love for advising his spouse, but in reality Ginger set him up to be caught with the prostitute. T forces Dr. Love to work with him to find the vanished Ginger and get her back in his life. Their trek together opens new issues as they begin to fall in love and T wants to change the game plan.

GIMME ME AN O! for outstanding as Kayla Perrin provides an often amusing romantic romp with a fabulous cast openly discussing sexual shortfalls (no pun intended as it is "not the size of the boat" per Dr. Love). T stands for terrific as he struggles between his enjoying his battles with Lecia and his feelings of guilt and incompetence with Ginger. Lecia is his perfect opponent and partner in the gender war. Although Ginger is over the top (read this humorous contemporary to learn why), fans of zany romances will enjoy Dr. Love applying her own help book to her situation.
