Summary: I love this book! :)
Comment: "Getting Rid of Bradley" by Jennifer Crusie is one of my favourite books. I read a lot and I know what I like, and this is definitely it! The book is character-driven and both the heroine and hero are entertaining and endearing. Lucy Savage, previously Lucy Savage-Porter - which, according to her sister, made her sound like an angry bell-hop - is quirky and crazy. Between her ever-changing and often increasingly bad hair days and her lovable dogs - who are rounded characters in themselves :) - she keeps the pages turning. She meets the love of her life, Zack Warren, after mistaking the unsuspecting sexy cop for a mugger and beating him up in the street - although he maintains that he let her do it, of course. What with her obsessive soon-to-be-ex-husband on the loose, at least one criminal running around shooting at people and a mystery to solve, Zack decides that there is simply no other way around it than that he should move into her beloved house - which she likes more than her ex - with her. Lucy soon finds that Zack - who is in denial that he is in his thirties and could soon be *gasp* old - is a mix of mischievous little boy and mature sex-on-legs man, and Zack swings from commitment-phobe to realising quite quickly that he never wants to leave Lucy, the dogs and the house - heck, he's even loving her cooking lessons! - and just has to figure out a way to get her out of the divorce court and straight back down the aisle - with him! This book is fast-paced, well-written and just plain funny! Highly recommended for romance readers or anyone with a sense of humour.

Summary: Delightful, sexy book. Kept me laughing.
Comment: Meet schoolteacher Lucy Savage. She's just been "stood-up" at a divorce hearing by her cheating husband Bradley, her pushy sister Tina keeps telling her what to do, and she has just acquired the hair-do from hell. On top of that, it seems that someone is trying to kill her. In the middle of all of this mayhem, she meets a handsome cop, Zack Warren, who is certain that Bradley is guilty of embezzlement. He also believes that Bradley, for one reason or another, is also behind the attempted shootings and mild bombings aimed towards Lucy. Hoping to protect Lucy and catch Bradley at the same time, Zach moves into Lucy's home. Zack, who doesn't consider himself the marrying type, is certain he'll be able to maintain his hormone level throughout his time with Lucy. Lucy also believes that she'll be able to contain her attraction, but somewhere along the way both her and Zack's plan seems to crumble away, revealing a passion that neither have experienced before.
"Getting Rid of Bradley" is one of those novels you just can't help laughing out loud to. Bestselling author Jennifer Crusie manages to tell an entertaining story by blending humour and sexual tension. The characters and situations they are thrust into are so crazy, so left field, that you can't help believing that it could actually happen. The interactions between Lucy and Zack are very entertaining to read and it's nice to watch their relationship develop in such a short time period. What begins as an innocent attraction quickly turns into overwhelming passion and eventually love for the two, who seem hell-bent on preventing just that.
If you're looking for a light-hearted, romantic novel, check this one out. You'll just love it!

Summary: Fast, Fun, Fluffy & Forgettable...
Comment: Lucy Savage was not having a good day. Her husband, whom she was trying to divorce for cheating on her, didn't even do her the courtesy of showing up at the courthouse where their marriage was dissolved. Her brassy blonde hair, which she had just had done, looked terrible and her sister was nagging at her to take more risks again. More risks?! Didn't she realize that every time she took a risk it ended in disaster? Still, the day wasn't a total wash, there was a pretty cute guy in the diner where she had lunch with her sister. Well, she thought he was pretty cute until he tried to mug her in the alley. Then he had the gall to claim to be a police officer trying to save her life after someone took a shot at her!
Detective Zack Warren has never seen anyone as in need of protection as Lucy Savage, but he definitely doesn't want to be the guy trying to do the protecting. All he wants is for Lucy to lead him to her ex-husband Bradley whom they suspect of stealing several thousand dollars from the bank he worked at. Only problem is Lucy told Bradley she never wanted to speak with him again and hasn't seen or heard from him since. Still, Zack has a hunch that Lucy is key to breaking the case so he moves in with her and her two nutty dogs to provide 24 hour protection. Next thing she knows, Lucy has accidentally turned her hair green, adopted another dog off the street and fallen head over heels in love with Zack! But she knows that Zack isn't serious when he says that he loves her and wants to marry her, after all, he is way too big of a risk for her to take...
Getting Rid of Bradley is a fun, fast read that I enjoyed, but it is nothing special or spectacular. This is a bit disappointing as Jennifer Crusie's books are usually pretty memorable - for her zany characters if nothing else. Lucy is a fun character, but a little too bubble brained for me, teacher or no. She was a little too quirky for me to identify with and I was not sure why Zack, a seemingly normal guy would fall for someone like her, but they say opposites attract, right? The plot is a little thin and it is pretty easy to figure out "the mystery", but this is a good summer beach book or something to read when you don't want to concentrate too hard.
