She has good friends and a job she loves, which provides a nice little salary in addition to her wealthy Daddy’s credit card, which she uses to purchase all the little “necessities” not covered by her salary. And just to brighten the picture, there’s a coveted promotion on the horizon.

But then handsome Brit Jack Quinn takes a job at Lane Publishing, and Dancy’s plans take a swift nosedive. In no time at all, she finds herself jobless and in need of a new career.
After the initial devastation, she decides the time might be right to finish that novel she’s been kinda sorta working on for…well, forever. But Jack seems to have found a way into even the world inside her head, annoying hunk that he is! And it doesn’t help that unwelcome little surprises keep cropping up here and there and everywhere to add to the general confusion.
With her life clearly on the downslide, Dancy really has no choice but to turn to God for solutions. Can He…will He work things out for a Fifth Avenue princess?
You Had Me at Good-bye is a fun storyline, and an interesting peek into a world where money is no object, and anything over a size two is plus-size. Tracey Bateman has a style all her own, and a unique ability to make readers laugh out loud. At the same time, she paints a heart-warming picture of spiritual growth, emotional development and love in the making.
Don’t miss this delightful romance!”
“Dancy Ames loves to edit books but brother's childhood friend Jack Quinn fires her over a steak dinner. Good friends Tabby and Laini. Dancy helps out at a café when she has time. She ends up editing freelance with Jack Quinn over her favorite author, and finds out that Jack is the author. Stupid part: perfect cousin Sheri hits on Jack, but isn't actually interested in him. The romance didn't really build up. ”

“This book was wonderful!!!!I loved it. It covered pretty much everything, I laughed, cried, yelled at the book(I'm not too proud to admit it), and gave a very happy sigh at the end. Oh my goodness, there is a HUGE surprise, so no peaking ahead in this one. Very, very good ending. Will recommend this to everyone!”

“A fun New York single girl story. It has romance and humor. It's Christian fiction so it also mentions church and God but it fits well into the story.”

“I enjoyed this book. It took me longer to get thru it because I started working, but once I got going on it, I really liked it.

I kind of got annoyed at how spineless Dancy could be at times, but she did eventually speak up on some things.”
“Every time I sat down to read You Had Me at Good-bye I had a big, goofy grin on my face. I cheered for the heroine, Dancy Ames, as she navigated work and family situations, and at times I really wanted to knock her parents’ heads together. There were scenes that made me swoon. Yes, swoon. Talk about getting involved! This is the perfect book to sweep you away for a few hours of pure fun.”

“Bateman is one of the best at her genre. While I can quickly get tired of reading about twenty-something girls looking for love, You Had Me at Good-bye kept me turning pages. Bateman’s humor is right on the money and she adds twists worthy of the best mystery writer. Her fresh plot avoids clichés and I laughed out loud numerous times, garnering glares from my husband who was watching TV. Even if you aren’t a regular chick lit reader, you’ve got to read You Had Me at Good-bye. ”
