Here’s the summary from Amazon:
Crusie actually has a readers’ guide to this book–you can find it here–and I’ll post it when we are ready to discuss the book in four weeks. (May 10th is Book Club Day!)
I’ve never read this and I am so excited to read it with you guys! (Because you are, of course, THE BEST.)
Let’s do this!
If you want to spice up your Valentine’s Day, you can’t go wrong with Adam and Eve. We’re running this column again because we love this company… and you! In these divided times, there’s one thing we can all agree on: Sex toys are fun. I grew up in the 60s and 70s and despite…
Like much of the world, I am sickened by the death of George Floyd. Since he was killed, I’ve donated to BLM, The Southern Poverty Law Center, to the NAACP Legal fund, and to the National Bail Out fund. (You can support all or some of these organizations via ActBlue.)
Ash, the hero of my Regency romance True Pretenses, is a Jewish con artist who grew up in a London rookery and has been passing as a Gentile for a number of years. The heroine Lydia is the daughter of a baron. For various financial reasons, they are considering a marriage of convenience. (Well, Ash…
We so enjoyed our interview with Milla Vane about A Heart of Blood and Ashes, Book One in her A Gathering of Dragons series, that we wanted to talk with her about Book Two, A Touch of Stone and Snow. She was game–our discussion is below!
I’ve just finished my annual re-read of Meredith Duran’s debut The Duke of Shadows. The first part is set in India during the ill-fated rebellion of 1857. The rebellion began in Delhi where Emma, the book’s damaged heroine, and Julian, the equally damaged hero, are. Duran shows us Delhi through Emma’s eyes and her descriptions…
There are books, authors, series, and even whole genres that I just can not, no matter how many times I give them a whirl, find interesting. Last year one of my book clubs read A Gentleman in Moscow and everyone but me adored it. I was so bored, I quit at the 500 page mark,…
Thanks for creating this group activity!
I’m generally a Crusie fan; and read this title years ago. It isn’t one I’ve read recently, so will be interesting to reread and see if it holds up 😉
Yay! I haven’t read this book in ages. Ten years at least if not more I would say, It’s probably going to be like reading a new book after all this time. And I need something to divert me from my Kresley Cole Immortals bender I’ve been on lately. 12 books and counting so far……
Wow. Whomever recommended those to you was really on point….

Lol, I’m calling it now- you’re an enabler. I’m at the point where a book intervention is going to be necessary. I just finished my first Daciano book tonight and the number left to read in this series is dwindling. Jennifer Crusie should be a nice a change of pace.
I really love this book, so I’m thrilled!
Manhunting is very funny but dated and I’m trying to ignore Jake’s “full moustache” which seems to be a supporting cast member. Kate’s casual friendly manner and her new friendships with pals Penny and Nancy is what hooked me, though the romance is pretty toasty.
