Summary: What a steamy read!
Comment: Since I have been laid up on bedrest due to my pregnancy ~~ I was glad that I had already bought Jennifer's newest paperback last spring ~~ she really helped me escape the doldrums with this fun, fast-paced and steamy, ... novel! I admit that I am a Jennifer Crusie fan (it helps that she is from Ohio!) and reading this book reminds me why I enjoy reading her stuff so much!!
Nell Dysart was floundering from a bitter divorce and struggling with a loss of appetite as well when she stumbles into a job interview at a shabby detective agency in German Village. She never knew that this job was just perfect for her ~~ as well as the owner of the agency was going to be her soulmate ~~ Gabe McKenna isn't your typical suave guy ~~ nope, he's rough around the edges hiding a sensitive heart. And this is their story as they both work on a murder case that had happened years ago, involving Nell's ex-inlaws and Gabe's father. It is full of twists and turns, snappy comments and fun characters ~~ all that makes a good afternoon reading worthwhile!
If you're looking for a perfect read to take to the pool or the beach ~~ this book would be just the pick for you! It's light, funny and steamy! Jennifer Crusie has yet to disappoint me!!

Summary: FAST WOMEN; fast read.
Comment: A fairly common complaint is that FAST WOMEN is not WELCOME TO TEMPTATION. Personally, I think that's a good thing. True....TEMPTATION is an excellent book. So is WOMEN. They're very dissimilar, thank heavens. Frankly, I get tired of the "cookie cutter" characters when an author finds a format that's selling and refuses to stray from it. Crusie gets edgy and isn't afraid to break away from the pack and FAST WOMEN reflects that break.
Nell Dysart has been dumped by her husband of 22 years and with the help of her two sister-in-laws, is groping for a new life. Due to a few twist and laughable turns she finds herself working for a couple of detectives in their antiquated office that she immediately decides to update,(the office, not the detectives) but not before she has innocently managed to create even more damage. By the time she has made changes in the office she has also dug through the tough shield that the #1 detective, Gabe McKenna has shrouded himself in.
Crusie developed a novel that is pure feel-good entertainment and serves up plenty of opportunities to laugh out loud. As an added bonus the reader gets to try and figure out the mystery that is brewing throughout the book. It's not heavy reading, but who wants that on lazy hot summer days? If I want to dig into WAR AND PEACE again, I'll save that for those long, dreary winter months. Until then, I'll grab every Crusie book as fast as she can turn them out.

Summary: A fast paced, hilarious delight
Comment: This was my first Crusie and was the best book I have read in a long time. It has it all, suspense, great characters, witty dialogue, wild sex and best of all, makes you laugh out loud! I read it in hours and ran down to the local library to check out every Crusie they had in stock! If you want a great read that is well above your typical romantic suspense novel, this is it. I can hardly wait to read her next one. Nora Roberts fans will most likely approve. I would also recommend "Welcome to Temptation". My husband has no idea why I kept jumping his bones that week, but I am sure if he knew, he would thank Ms. Crusie.
