one of my new favorite authors. she makes you laugh out loud. definetly a different twist on romance novels. i can't wait to read another of her books.

I'm on a Crusie binge right now. This one had a really complex cast of characters, almost TV drama like. very enjoyable and complex. And fun. It was light on the romance while still making it the main focus of the book. I'm still not 100% over some of Crusie's wording peculiarities, but there is so much about her writing that I admire...

Yes, it's porn-y. It's also interesting, well-written, entertaining as hell, and filled to the brim with interesting characters. It's my favorite of Crusie's novels. ( )

Sophie Dempsey didn't like Temptation even before the Garveys smashed into her '86 Civic, broke her sister's sunglasses, and confirmed all her worst suspicions about people from small towns who drove beige Cadillacs.

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0312974256, Mass Market Paperback)

Prepare to be absolutely charmed by Jennifer Crusie's riotous tale of two slightly twisted sisters and a town chock full of hunks, coots, and petty politics in Welcome to Temptation.

Sophie and Amy Dempsey are just two wedding filmers trying to hop to the next level of their careers when they agree to produce a documentary of aging film star Clea Whipple's return to her hometown of Temptation, Ohio. And when the local mayor, Phin Tucker, and the police chief, Wes Mazur, proffer themselves as willing subjects for quick flings, Sophie and Amy aren't the type to object. But things are never easy in rural Ohio, and what starts off as an esoteric art film project soon evolves into potential porn--and that's just the relationships, let alone the documentary. Clea's husband Zane turns belly-up, the race for mayor turns dirty, and Sophie and Phin turn on the heat full steam.

With hot sex, clever characters, and Crusie's trademark wit, Welcome to Temptation will keep your eyes glued to the page and your stomach aching with laughter. --Nancy R.E. O'Brien
