Summary: Passion, mayhem and serious laughter....
Review: I loved this book, not just for the phallic water tower, not just for the wickedly wonderful sex and not just for the dead-on zingers--I loved it because it's emotionally true. You really feel for these characters, and in the end, you're rooting for them with all your heart. Wisecracks aside, it's a fabulous story of a woman's journey by an author who seems to outdo herself with each successive book.

Summary: Crusie just keeps getting better!
Review: You'd think Jennifer Crusie would have had a hard time topping CRAZY FOR YOU, which was practically the perfect book, but she's done it again. Funny, fascinating, impossible-to-put-down. Crusie never disappoints.

Summary: Run right out & get this book [or add it to your cart now]!
Review: Jennifer Crusie is a funny, wonderful, witty, inventive, thoroughly enjoyable storyteller. Read the reviews below this one for more thoughtful details. Each one said it beautifully and I admit I can't say it better myself, but I HAD to add my praise. If you're a fan of clever writing and the humor to be found in real life, this book cannot be missed. It was worth every penny spent and then some!

Summary: JUST LIE BACK AND ENJOY IT, AS PHIN WOULD SAY.
Review: What a wonderfully wicked book! I want to go to Phin's University of Sexual Instruction, with the giant phallic water tower, the great adjustable shower head, the pantiless pool games, the fear-of-discovery fantasy. He's a delight, and poor Sophie doesn't stand a chance of resisting him, and she deserves every bit of the fun he offers her, even if being with Phin would mean having the mother-in-law from hell and living in this little, oddball town. There's a fun murder mystery, all those nasty little complications that come with family and too many hilarious one-liners to even discuss. (Watch for the Jell-O line -- it's one of the best.) I wish I didn't have to wait a year for the next book.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: It was a long and disappointing wait for "Welcome to Temptation". Keeping up with the cast of thousands in this book was exhausting, and I could not develop any affection for the secondary characters as was the case in "Crazy for You". On the plus side, I loved the Dusty Springfield "soundtrack" as I did Fleetwood Mac in "Crazy for You". I wouldn't say "skip it", (Phin is hot!), but it is disappointing after the superb "Crazy for You".

Summary: Crusie's best yet!
Review: I've been looking forward to reading Welcome to Tempation for months and it did not disappoint. I knew during the drive into Temptation that I was going to love the visit. How can you not love a town with a Water Tower? This book made me laugh out load more times than I can count! It's sexy, funny and smart. Treat yourself to this book - you will be glad you gave into Temptation!

Summary: Her best yet.
Review: It's fun to watch this author get better with every book. WELCOME TO TEMPTATION's got the best combination of Crusie's signature elements--fun, sex, great characters, and a mystery. I loved the mayor hero, Phin, and especially his campaign slogan--"More of the Same." Ha! Crusie's got a sly wit, a wonderful way with words, and the heart of a romantic. I recommend this book.

Summary: Welcome to Temptation
Review: Pretty good. I enjoyed the plot and the characters, although I thought that Ms. Crusie had a little too many subplots/side stories. Not as good as "Tell Me Lies" or "Crazy For You" but an altogether enjoyable book.

Summary: Sassy, sexy, with a murder ending that had me LOL
Review: Yes, the ending was one of the funniest, cleverest murder mystery endings I've ever read. I couldn't believe the laugh-out-loud twists and ingenuity of it. Absolutely fresh and unexpected. The rest was vintage Crusie. I am a big fan of this author already, but this is my favorite book of hers to date. Loved the characters. The romance angle was funny and clever and so so sexy. Oh, I want to learn to play pool like THIS! If you adore sizzle between believable, human characters, snappy, smart-aleck prose, and a murder that is darkly hilarious, this is the book for you. Buy it now; you won't be sorry!
