Summary: Surprise!
Review: This isn't my normal sort of book. I read this book while working as a teacher in a foreign country and was limited in book selections. I had already read 'Temptation' which I found entertaining. I thought I was reading something light. Wrong! This book (for me) was no light read. As a teacher I could completely relate to the various stresses the protagonist went through: from buying a house on a teacher's salary to the fear of misunderstood affection for a student. The author was so dead on that I was stunned by the closeness of it to (my) real life. A collegue I shared the book with wholeheartedly agreeded with the uneasiness. If you are a female teacher of students middle school aged and up, this is a must read. If you aren't a teacher you will appreciate it anyway because it is utterly entertaining. For whatever reason you choose to read it, it's a gem!

Summary: YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE THESE CHARACTERS!
Review: This was my second Jennifer Crusie novel and she definitely does not disappoint. Just as in "Welcome to Temptation", the novel flows smoothly and the dialog is very realistic; in fact, dialog is really Crusie's forte. It is light and casual and will pull you into the story and make you feel like the characters are your closest friends. You will miss them dearly when the book comes to an end!Quinn and Nick have been best friends for 20 years, and Nick has developed some romantic inclinations toward Quinn. Quinn soon realizes, to her surprise, that the feelings are mutual, and she wants Nick more than she has ever wanted anyone before. The obstacle in their relationship is Nick's stubbornness, and his unwillingness to delve into a serious relationship. Ever since his divorce from Quinn's sister 19 years earlier, he's had trouble going the distance with women and even kicks them out of bed long before dawn starts to break. He and Quinn only realize their attraction after Quinn breaks up with Bill, the town's good 'ole boy and high school baseball coach. Bill refuses to believe Quinn could actually want to leave him and begins a descent into madness. He becomes so crazed with winning Quinn back, he stalks her and even jeopardizes her life. The subcharacters are also another highlight of this book, you are sure to become enthralled with all the little dramas that are going on in this small town. As Quinn's sister states in the book, life in that town plays out like an episode of Jerry Springer's greatest hits! This book is filled with realistic conversations, hot, ......, and intense character development. Loved it, Loved it, Loved it!

Summary: Down to Earth Funny!
Review: I am a fan of Nora Roberts, but now that I've read several JC books, I realize I wasn't relating to NR the way I tune into this author. It might be because I'm a teacher in a small community, or have dated an OK guy that turned into a creepy dude, I don't know. I love the fact that Quinn didn't settle for the ordinary relationship and went looking for more!
Like I said, I've now read several Jen Cruise books and I keep coming back to Crazy for You as my favorite. Its a good one to start with for a good introduction to her brand of humor!

Summary: A good read
Review: I haven't not liked a Jennifer Crusie book, and I've read four of them now. They involve you right from the start, with three dimensional characters, laughter, drama, and quite a few twists to keep you guessing. Ms Crusie's books won't change your life, but they're a fine way to while away an afternoon or two. More please!

Summary: This book makes me smile;)
Review: What a delightful read!! Quinn and Nick are so down to earth, as are all the people we meet from Tibbett, OH. Lots of little twists and turns, all so human and believeable! Sometimes I feel like Darla, I love my husband, but after 10 years, things get stale at times. I can't wait to read more Cruise books and meet new characters!!

Summary: Crusie, Crusie, Crusie
Review: Another Crusie great. Who would have thought adopting one poor, little, skinny dog would change Quinn's life? What a change it is. She goes from dating the "world's nicest guy" to dating her sister's ex husband. This book will have you laughing out loud. It is fun and witty.

Summary: Best of Her Best Books
Review: It's hard to choose, which of Jennifer Crusie's books I think is the best, because I think they are all terrific. But this one is the one I prefer. She develops the plot so deftly, introducing the characters in normal context and then adding the twists and turns that make them endearing, frustrating, scary and all the other emotions she manages to evoke in the reader. Perfect book, aside of all romantic subplot. I believe JC manages the tightrope walke between mystery and romance best of all authors. Congratulations!!!
Readers who like this book should definitely read TELL ME LIES and WELCOME TO TEMPTATION. I'm also impatiently waiting for her new book FAST WOMEN to be published in paperback.

Summary: Crazy for this book!
Review: Jennifer Crusie is at the top of her game in this charming and hysterical contemporary romance. All of her trademark elements are here - witty dialogue, amuzing secondary characters, a hot romance. This is the story of a small town art teacher, Quinn McKenzie, who adopts a stray dog and decides to finally take control of her life. She breaks up with the steady but dull school coach, gets her own place and tries to initiate a romance with her ex-brother-in-law and close friend, Nick. The problem is that the rest of the town thinks she lost her mind. The coach refuses to accept their break-up and her boss blames her for the team's loosing streak and threatens to fire her. Inspired by Quinn's new attitude, her Mom comes out of the closet and her best friend leaves her happy but unexciting 20 year marriage. As if things are bad enough, Nick refuses to sleep with her! There's one amusing plot twist after the other, and the dialogue is priceless. One of the things I love best about Crusie's novels is the way she makes the lives of ordinary people - Quinn is a teacher and Nick is an automechanic - funny, exciting, sexy and romantic. This is a great novel that you will read again and again, laughing all the while.
