Samantha is reaching the end of her 20’s. With hours away of turning 30, she’s frantically heart-wrenched that she has not met the man of her dreams. How could this be?
Deadline: 17 hours to find a man.
It shouldn’t be so hard to find someone who is nice, sweet, thoughtful, romantic, and good in bed. Right?
Samantha is smart and savvy, however, she tends to ramble a lot—how she’d on a deadline, how she has standards, yadda-yadda-yadda. She’s real anal about the time—hours left before her deadline. This book just wasn’t what I thought it be.

A fun and light-hearted read. If only we all had the capabilities of the protagonist in this story, what shenanigans would we all get into?! I enjoyed following the main character as she finds her way through friendships, dating, and love (and of course sex!!!)

"How long you should wait to have sex" is a story full of fun, crush worthy and steamy scenes. An exciting plot that will captivate you, and filled with lovely characters. It had it all!
What made me look twice at this book is the title. "How long you should wait to have sex". It's a question that all women ask themself, and so do our maincharacter Samantha.
She's nearing her 30 year old birthday, and has everything she wished for in life - except a man. But as the business woman she is, she take the bull by the horns, and make sure that lots of bachelors will be at her birthday party. That night she want to find the man she's gonna marry someday. And she does!
I promise you, John is THE perfect man, and everything he do and says would make any woman weak in the knees. He's honest, funny, caring and romantic, but after the first time they have sex it's clear that he's not calling her back. Even when he promised. Something stops him from seeing Samantha again, and she can't help ask the question "did I sleep with him too soon?".
Heartbroken she weeps in her appartment, until her friend Lacey pick her up for their saturday night plans - it's hilarious when Samantha suddenly realises that they aren't at Lacey's work, but back at her birthday party...... and then story repeats itself. This time Samantha won't mess it up with John. She is going to test how long she should wait to have sex with him to make him fall in love with her. It takes some tries, and every time it's funny to see how the story changes (Even though there was a WTF moment. Earthquake is all I'm gonna say <-- the author really messed with my feelings)
I loved it, and couldn't put it down before I reached the end.
I could easily see this book as a chick flick movie.

In all honesty, i didn't have high hopes for this book, i think the cover put me off, i know that i shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, but i did and regret it. This last week i bit the bullet to finally read this book, after all i featured it a while ago.
We start meeting Samantha on the eve of her 30th birthday devastated because she hadn't met "the one" in an attempt to resolve the issue, she puts her PR skills to use and throws herself a party and invites alot of eligible men. There she meets John, she thinks he is the one and he didn't even know about the party. They spend the evening drinking flirting and one thing leads to another and Samantha goes home with him, he promises to call & never does. That isn't the end of, regretting it all she wishes she didnt have sex with him, her wish comes true, and she gets the chance to replay the night. She does, and things pan out differently, what happens along the way is interesting.
This book had such a good concept, and it gave Samantha the chance to earn her happy ending, although it's not like you would imagine, believe me. This book takes a light hearted look at the age old question of how long to wait before sex, it gives the chances im sure woman have wished for to redo evenings and create the best relationship possible. It made me giggle, in parts it made me sad for Samantha but most of all, it kept me enthralled.

What can I say about ‘How long we should I wait to have sex’, that the book doesn’t say.
I think Monique Sorgen took a really good look at this, and created a fun, entertaining way to answer that question. What I love about this book as that our heroine, Samantha Harper, isn’t one at all. She is falling and tripping over problems, most of our women faces in our lives, and she keeps making the wrong choice, until she got granted a wish that undid one of her problems. Wish we all had those.
I liked this story, and however some people would not like the Samantha, I think she is real, and very well developed. Not all characters can be smart and always making the right choices. Most of us are like this lady that makes the wrong decisions, that trips, that falls and wish they can just go back and undo the past.
It’s an easy well written book to read, and this is for everyone.
I’m giving ‘How long should I wait to have sex’ a four.
It is a topic most of us wanted answered and I think Monique has done a great job with this.

I absolutely Loved this story. Just so much fun and absolutely crazy with the do-overs, but so wonderfully refreshing and new. Just a smidge of "Ground Hog Day". This was a true pleasure to read. Funny, quirky read with a great cast of interesting characters. It sucks you in until you reach that final page and you finally finish this crazy kind of love story. You shouldn't have to change for anyone, but yourself. You can't force love. People make mistakes. Be happy with you. Loved, Loved, Loved!! :)

I had high hopes for this book but it didn't even come close to meeting them. It has potential, but I think that the author herself needs to mature a bit and move into a different writing style that better captures whatever they're going for... Because the method in which the book is written is, well, relatively atrocious and immature.
And then there's the main character. Confident, overachiever, and might as well be 15- not almost 30. I couldn't finish the book at all and probably won't be returning to it.

I thought this was a cute book with an interesting premise. It wasn't like anything I'd read before and most of it was very funny.
The only thing I think I had issue with was the complete omission of any discussion of protection/health/birth control between the characters. There was plenty of sex and never once were any of the above topics mentioned.
Other than that, the book was basically a decent, quick read.
