Summary: Extremely Hilarious, Great Characters. Non-Stop Reading
Comment: I don't know what made me pick up this book, I NEVER read "romance" novels. I think it had to do something with the "secret in the basement" as described on the back cover. I do LOVE mystery & family secrets; however they usually lead to or stem from a murder (in my reading collection). I am GLAD I took the chance. This author made me laugh! It was HARD to put down (I am now reading Crazy For You by Jennifer Crusie- and I read half the book in one night:)
I recommend this book to anyone, no matter what your "normal" reading-genre is. In fact, as soon as I put it down I lent it to a fellow co-worker and she had it read in less than a week. After I read this book I immediately purchased 4 more of her books....and I am sure that I won't stop there. This coming from a die-hard Greg Iles & Anne Rice fan (and many more...) But - truth be told - I also read Linda Goodman:)
So whether you're a fan of romance-reads or just had the urge (you picked up the book because of the provacative title) take a chance and you'll become hooked on her laugh-out-loud sense of humor, interesting characters, and great one-liners :)

Summary: Crusie Never Disappoints
Comment: In Welcome To Temptation, we met the Dempsey family. At the end of that book, Davy, a con man who was only a minor character, swindled $1 million dollars from porno queen Clea Lewis. Prior to the start of Faking It, Clea seduces Davy's financial manager into helping her steal it back along with the $2 million Davy made investing it. Determined to find Clea's bank codes so he can get his money back, Davy breaks into Clea's room to access her lap top computer.
Tilda Goodnight is a semi-famous mural artist who comes from a long line of art forgers. During her youth, Tilda painted six pictures she signed Scarlet, short for Scarlet Hodge. The only trouble is Scarlet Hodge is supposed to be the daughter of famous folk artist Homer Hodge but Scarlet only existed in the imagination of Tilda's father. While watching the Goodnight family art gallery one day, Tilda's niece sells a Scarlet that the rest of the family didn't know still exists to Clea Lewis. Tilda is afraid that if anyone gets to close a look at this Scarlet, they will discover it is a fraud because it's content is not consistent with the rest of the Scarlets and then people will start looking into the other art work they purchased from Goodnight Gallery. To save her family's reputation and livelihood, Tilda breaks into Clea Lewis's room to steal back the Scarlet.
The minute Tilda and Davy meet up in Clea's closet and share a passionate kiss, we are treated to a great story as Tilda and Davy set out to retrieve all six Scarlets. Jennifer Crusie wrote some delightfully quirky characters into this book. There's Tilda's sister Eve who is a straight-laced schoolteacher by day who has a second personality, slutty Louise that only comes out on Wednesday thru Sunday nights. The love of Eve's life is her ex-husband Andrew who came out of the closet a couple of years back. Eve and Andrew's daughter Nadine dates boys based on what career they can help her try on for size. Tilda's mother Gwen spends her days doing crossword puzzles and dreaming of running away to someplace sunny while listening to golden oldies on the jukebox. Oh, I almost forgot, there's also a sexy hit man, an FBI agent, a lovesick accountant, a master thief, an albino artist and we meet Davy's father Michael who taught Davy everything he knows about the con game.
I highly recommend you read Faking It. You won't be disappointed.
