* [http://www.paperbackreader.net/2006/03/champagne_rules_by_susan_lyons.html ''Champagne Rules at '''Paperback Reader''']
<blockquote>While the cover is the publisher’s domain, the story is the author’s; and Lyons doesn’t duck or conceal the nature of hers and handles it with a skill and confidence that belie her standing as a first-time author. She labels her unique brand of fiction as “chick lit erotic romance” and that is as apt a description of her work as there could be.</blockquote>

 ''Champagne Rules'' is driven by sexual encounters: Suzanne Brennan, a Canadian, and Jaxon Navarre, a Jamaican immigrant, meet on nude beach in Crete and immediately find a private spot for sex. Years later, Suzanne seeks out Jaxon (without knowing his name) via an Internet ad. The two are reunited; neither wants a relationship but both want to keep the sex fresh, leading to the "rules" of the title: no commitment, etc. Each prefers to focus on good sex while leading their separate lives.
 Eventually, real lives intrude on the party, and, like champagne, the rules go flat. With [[Erotica|erotica]] titles, there is tendency to emphasize sex over relationships, and Lyons works to move beyond the endless stream of sex scenes by giving her characters full and rich lives.
