" A great follow-up to "Welcome to Temptation" by the same author. Again, for me it was a guilty pleasure - have read it twice! "
" Witty and funny. A great, light romance with smart, interesting characters. "
" Slow at first. "
" ////////couldn't get into this book so quit reading after a few chapters. "
" Fun cute book. Easy fast read. This book is about a con man finding the love of his life in a difficult artist. "
" Super cute books...quick reads. "
" At 1st I was not sure about this but I ended up loving it. A madcap fun easy read. "
" My favorite from one of my go-to authors of romantic comedy. "
" Too weird. I don't know how the protagonist fell in love with the guy or vice versa. ANd I wish they didn't have so many nicknames for her. Unbelievable book. "
" A fun, quick romp. "
" A crazy adventure that involves art forgery, theft, and a manic dachshund. Not the greatest book on Earth but fluff in comedic form. "
" Very light, quick reading. A good escape, but keep your expectations low and you'll be happy. There's no substance, but the characters are enjoyable and kind, at least the ones you should like. A good summer read. "
" I had never heard of this author when I picked out this book. I quite like quirky characters and this book was just that! The book felt just a little too long for me but I really did like this book and I plan to read more from Jennifer . "
" guilty pleasure...loved it! especially those last ten pages or so--it was too funny :) "
" Great book, I can reread this book many of times. Jennifer Crusie has a way with words. I love this book. The plot is great. Even the ending is unexpected. I would recommend this book to all my friends. "
" Happy book, I like it very much. "
" Loved it.. had trouble putting it down, and some nights i would get 3 hours sleep because all i wanted to do was to read the book and be swept away into another world. "
" Not my favorite Jennifer Crusie book. Maybe I was distracted by all the female characters saying, "What?!?" anytime a statement was made. "
" Fun, Fun, Fun book!! "
" This is a fun book so far. I love Jennifer Crusie's books. It took me awhile to finish it. It kind of got confusing. However I did enjoy it. "
" Hilarious - it's not quite as good as Bet Me, but easily ties for my second favourite of hers. "
" Crusie is always a good bet for light entertainment. "
" I've read and listened to this book many times, and it's still one of my favorites. Vintage Crusie! "
" It was nice to catch up with the Dempseys again. Fine listening material. "
" Very cute book. The characters are well-drawn, the action is consistent, and the plot resolution is nice. "
" a totally guilty pleasure. Her characters are engaging, the dialogue makes me laugh out loud, and let's face it, the woman can write sex. I have read every single one of her books. "
" 330th - 2011 Kacau, seru, dan kocak abis. Baca novel ini kayak nonton sit-com. Worth to reread, kalo antrean bacaan udah habis nanti. "
" I get this author confused with another Jennifer - she's a little more romance than I prefer but the characters and situations are fun which makes them enjoyable. Art forgery, con men, thiefs - oh my! "
" This was a fun little quick read. It is what I think of as "poolside" read; not too intense or heady, by no means "great literature". Just a fun little jaunt. "
" I had higher hopes for this one.. It was good but the whole time I was thinking, "Why couldn't they sign pseudonyms on their paintings?" It just seemed weak.. Loved all the other side romances though. I need to find the first book. "
" it was an easy read, but fun none the less. "
