(  ) kayceel | Sep 5, 2009 |  Not my fave Jennifer Crusie as I didn’t particularly care for either character and the “who dunnit” was visible for a country mile! (  ) ph8 | Jun 12, 2009 | If not for the presence of a quirky dog in What the Lady Wants, I would have a hard time guessing Crusie for the author if her name hadn't been on the cover. It's very standard-issue, formulaic romance, and there's a complete lack of character development. There are the bones of a good caper romp in it, but nothing here that Crusie wouldn't do better in Faking It. (  ) siriaeve | Jun 12, 2009 | An older Crusie, and not funny. I like her better when she's funny, I think. The mystery was fun enough, I suppose. For some reason, I completely skimmed the sex scenes. It's important to me to note where I skim, and I'm not quite sure. I think it was the huge blobs of paragraphs. It didn't matter though. Those bits were optional. And that's a bad thing in a book.

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 155166951X, Mass Market Paperback)Nothin' like a dame . . .Mitch Peabody was learning pretty fast that the life of a private detective was not all it was cracked up to be. Cheating husbands, suspicious wives, unsuspecting mistresss -- case after case left him cynical and disillusioned. This was nothing like the world of tough-talking detectives and smart-mouthed, stunning dames he'd envisioned . . . until she walked through the door. Right down to her stilettos, Mae Sullivan was a knockout with a lethal body -- and a lethal family to go with it. There was something not quite on the up-and-up about her, but she came with a case he couldn't afford to refuse . . . and left him with a case of lust like he hadn't had since high school. It didn't take long for him to fall for her, hook, line and sinker. But was Mae only interested in catching the double-crossing crooks who murdered her uncle . . . or did the lady want to catch him?
