Rating:  Summary: Love this book! Review: I am a huge Jennifer Crusie fan- after reading this book; it was the first one of hers I read, and I don't usually read books like this; I have bought all of her other books after reading this and I love them all so far; they're fun, easy reads. BUY IT!
Rating:  Summary: Can't put it down. Review: I love this book!! I cant put it down, it usually takes me a week or so to finish a book but I finished this in a couple of days. The carachters are fun and exciting, and I couldnt wait to see what happened next. This is a must read! Awsome beach or poolside book!
Rating:  Summary: Good, funny book Review: "Crazy for You" is the first book I have read from Jennifer Crusie and I only picked it up after reading good reviews from Amazon.[com.] I have to admit she is fast becoming one of my favourite contemporary-romance author!"Crazy for You" is sexy and witty and the conversation between characters are funny as well. Besides liking the part about Nick and Quinn, (Duh, who doesn't?! But it helps that Nick is super-hot and Quinn is so lovable,) I also really liked the part about Max and Darla. Throw in the part about Quinn's ex,Bill, an ex-boyfriend-turned-freaky-stalker, and you have the perfect read filled with romance, steamy sex, and just a bit of suspense. "Crazy for You" is recommended to everyone. Need I say more?
Rating:  Summary: Funny but serious. Review: I enjoyed this story. It is fast paced and more than a little crazy. It is based on a woman who has decided that she wants to make a few small changes in her life. Basically she wants to keep the stray dog that someone has brought her. Her live in boyfriend (who is just a bit controlling) doesn't want it and even takes it to the pound. This sets off a huge chain of events that ends up with her being stalked and at the same time finally finding her true sole mate. Along the way she buys a house, helps her friend try and put some spark back in her marriage, and it seems the entire town catches the bug that she has and things are changing all over the place. There is quite a lot about stalking in this story that makes you take notice!
Rating:  Summary: I'm Crazy about this novel! Review: Man, oh, man, would I love to trade places with the heroine of this novel! How could readers fail to fall in love with a man who has the good sense to play Fleetwood Mac when he makes love (I know that he was supposed to be shallow because he did this with EVERY woman, but I still can't hear Fleetwood Mac without thinking of this sexy hero)? Crusie does a great job of creating "regular guy" heros who are still super sexy. This novel has it all: super love scenes, great hero & heroine, an interesting plot that doesn't overshadow the romance, and wit that makes you chuckle. Run, don't walk, to the bookstore to get this one!
Rating:  Summary: Her best yet! Review: I like Jennifer Crusie's novels, but I must say that I really LOVED this one. Nick (the hero) is a sweetheart and so is Quinn (the heroine). The dialogue was cute and the sex scenes were sexy (man, would I love to be Quinn in a couple of those scenes - especially the one in the high school auditorium!). In my opinion, this is Crusie's best romance novel yet. It's definitely worth buying.
Rating:  Summary: Awesome sex scenes Review: I knew a woman was writing these sex scenes because they are great! I read this on a car trip. I had to stop and fan myself a few times. My husband wanted to know what I was reading. I had no idea what was going on with the road trip because I was busy falling in love with Nick, who apparently is extremely good in bed. I plan to drive recklessly to the bookstore and find more of these books..or better yet I'll order more now! I know this is a shallow review but what can I say...good steamy, romantic sex scenes are great when you find them!
Rating:  Summary: Wow! Review: Crusie's characters literally pop out of the page at you. I found myself wanting to smack Bill, the ex-boyfriend, gossip with Darla, and help Quinn move, just from reading. The book's exploration of what one small decision can do to affect the lives of practically an entire town is interesting and thorough, and Crusie throws in enough quirky characters and plot loops to keep one interested the entire way through. But like any good romance, everything works out in the end - just not the way you'd quite expect a typical romance novel to work out, though. A caveat - if stalker-esque behaviour freaks you out, you might want to avoid this book.
Rating:  Summary: Life Is A Game Of Dominos Review: Jennifer Crusie has a way of describing an ordinary event and taking us on a journey. These trips are full of excitement, disbelief, pure humor and love. "Crazy For You" is no exception. Quinn McKenzie is happy to just be and not ready to ask for more from life. She is living with the small town's legandary football coach, Bill. Everyone thinks she has the perfect life. Quinn never thought to question things either until the day one of her high school students gets her to take a stray dog. Bill is a control freak who usually gets his way by taking or naggng Quinn into acceptance and a dog is not part of the picture. Bill humor's Quinn for a day and then takes the dog to the pound while she is at work. As a response, Quinn's veil is lifted and she starts making all sorts of changes. Quinn's metamorphasis is contagious and pretty soon everyone whom we have been introduced to is breaking out of their molds. The men in this story are all standing by scratching their heads. Some take it better than others. Bill's lack of coping skills give us drama. While, Nick (Quinn's ex-brother-in-law) starts our engines. Jennfier Crusie's characters remind me of David Kelley's from "Alley McBeal", "Boston Public", & "The Practice". They are bizarre, charming, and a hoot. For pure fun give "Crazy For You" a chance.
Rating:  Summary: CH-CH-CH-CHANGES! Review: This novel is all about how changes, even something as small as adopting a stray dog, can shake up your own life while managing to cause ripple effects in the lives of your friends and family. I really enjoyed reading the book! The only thing I'd change about it is Katie; I wish Katie had been a cat instead of a dog! I'm not much of a dog person. Other than that, an excellent story!
