This was okay, but I don't understand what all the fuss is about this book. It took me three tries to get through it.

This is the 2nd JC book I've read although it goes before 'Faking It' (1st I've read). Although I didn't get the same enjoyment from Faking It, I still gave it a 5 because I was hooked with the characters, how Sophie Dempsey and Phineas Tucker were evenly matched, con artist meets goody but striking mayor. There were a lot of hilarious scenes, family values were present, the sex scenes were remarkable, and characters eclectic. JC made the small town come to life with the arrival of Sophie and Cleo, who're about to film porn in a very conservative town. ( )

Suprisingly good, I read it in one day. I'm not usually into "romance" books, but this is well-written, humerous, and a good quick read. ( )

I'm not usually into romance novels, but Welcome to Temptation was a decent read. The characters were well rounded, not the standard cliches I am used to in this genre. I like the term 'Vanilla Porn' which I read for the first time in this book. I think it is a term that could probably be applied here. This is a good book with a real storyline and I enjoyed it. ( )

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
