Loading... Fast Women (2001)by Jennifer Crusie
None. I really loved this book, Crusie turns so many romantic tropes on their head. Good sex does not equal true love, and true love does not mean no relationship problems. The villains were a bit hard to keep track of, and the timeline was equally slippery, but the lovely main characters and their classic Crusie wit more than made up for any bumps in the road. (  ) Capnrandm | Apr 15, 2013 |  I love Jennifer Crusie's books...they are always a mood lifter and a fun read! (  ) kcoleman428 | Apr 3, 2013 | A fun, fast read with recognizable characters, once I started this book, I didn't want to put it down. Even though you know how this will end, the fun is in how you get there. Some suspense, lots of romance and a liberal dose of humor all add up to a great summer read. ( ) JenJ. | Mar 31, 2013 | Another great Crusie with a mystery subplot. (  ) sly_wit | Mar 29, 2013 | Oh gag. What a truly unredeeming waste of time! Don't bother with it--though if you must, READ it, don't listen to it. (  ) kaulsu | Sep 1, 2012 |
 Fast Women was not too bad, the main protagonists had some issues, but it was entertaining. I couldn't find the ebook for fast women so I sent it into 1dollarscan to scan it.
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0312980159, Paperback)Emotionally numb from her divorce 18 months earlier, Nell Dysart is about to waken with a vengeance. When she takes a job as office manager for McKenna Investigations, she's determined to reorganize, redecorate, and revamp the stuck-in-the-'50s surroundings, but she runs smack-dab into senior partner Gabe McKenna, the immovable object to her irresistible force. Gabe likes the dated ambiance just fine and doesn't want a thing changed, but he soon learns that nothing in his life is going to stay the same now that Nell has arrived.Rough and gruff, but with a heart of gold, Gabe is just what Nell needs to jump-start her hormones. Nell's formerly dull life is suddenly wildly active, for not only is she lusting after Gabe (and vice versa), but there's also a case of embezzlement to uncover, a dog to steal, and bribery to investigate. And, oh yes, there are those very cold, very dead bodies in the freezer. Fast Women has well-rounded characters, an interesting mystery to resolve, and author Jennifer Crusie's trademark humor. In addition, Crusie gives readers a little something extra in her exploration of the emotional stages of divorce, the viability of marriage, and the value of self-honesty--all of which add up to an excellent fictional tale layered with a thought-provoking look at contemporary culture. --Lois Faye Dyer (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 04 Jan 2013 15:47:31 -0500) Following her divorce, Nell Dysart takes a job working for a detective agency and finds herself knee deep in embezzlement, bribery, blackmail, arson, adultery, murder, and passion with her boss, Gabe McKenna. |
