Summary: Fast right out of the Box!
Review: I've enjoyed several of Jennifer Crusie's novels but this was my favorite. It's fast paced, funny and the mystery kept be guessing right to the end.

Review: This was a fun, easy read; sexy; mildly predictable and probably my third favorite Jennifer Cruise book!

Summary: Ummmm.....
Review: .....well I have to say that I was most disappointed with this book compared to Crusie's other FANTASTIC books.If you don't mind the idea of being able to cheat on your other half and morally get away with it because he cheated on you first, you will probably enjoy this book. I for one don't agree with it so I have put this book back on my book shelf and will not read it again. It has not put me off reading any other of her books, as I said before, they are FANTASTIC.

Summary: Story anyone? So, it is a 2 and a half star
Review: After reading 'Fast women' and a while back 'Crazy for you 'I was looking forward to this one. The reviews sounded really good. But I have to say that this one is a big let down. Each of her books seem to be the same story or at least build up. Women that have been in a dull,boring,devestating reltaionship and are now coming out of it.This is one is no difference.Only that the she lingered so much and long on what OTHERS are thinkig,that it really started to bother me and I felt like running from it.And other times I felt myself skipping pages ( big no no for me in general ).She goes on and on and then all the sudden at the end everyting is being cramped in and at fast speed she slams out the evidence and who did the crime. It seems to be all a repeat of her previous books. You know where she is going and coming from. SO nothing new or interesting or exciting. I don't find that her strenght is writing mysteries.At times you wonder even if she has thought of all the details... usually what happens when you hide evidence?
Well in her books, nothing. And all her ladies seem to be of the same material and intelligence.
HOWEVER, I have to compliment her on her sense of humor and witt. That is what has attracted me to her books and that I have enjoyed.When she is writing about the thought process and actions of her leading ladies,men and friends. YES,I have laughed while reading this book.Those parts were done wonderfully.And you can count on Jennifer Cruise . She is crative at that. I will read more of her books, but not right now. It just seems to be all the same in a way. But she writes up to date novels and I appreciate that as well.
She has a funny style... but this is not the best book to read.
Fast women may be better, though my first one I read was Crazy for you.

Summary: Great characters, and some insight into small town life..
Review: This book was a fun read, and very intelligently done. It provides a quick glimpse of small town life, and all that is good and not so good about growing up in a town where your last name says it all to anyone you meet. Maddie, the main character, is faced with some shocking events that start to bring her out of the shell she has lived in all her life. I really enjoyed this book for the little bits of insight it offers into human nature and what makes people tick. I could not put it down, and finished the whole thing within a day - I decided the dishes, laundry, and errands could wait! I picked up this book and another book, 'Welcome to Temptation', by the same author, several months ago, on the recommendation of some women in my various book groups. It does not disappoint - I highly recommend it for a quick, fun read!

Summary: Crusie is a new favorite of mine....
Review: "Tell Me Lies" is another Crusie small town tale of a cheating husband, and a wife, Maggie Faraday, who finds evidence of his affair (crotchless panties under his car seat), only to fall in love, all over again, with her first romance, C.L. Sturgis. Frog Point, the town of their youth, seems innocent on the surface, but there are a lot of secrets that have not been turned up yet by the town gossips. Maggie, who's finding out too late that nobody in Frog Point likes her husband Brent, decides to let him run off to South America as he's planned, before she launches her divorce. She's trying to hold off her feelings for C.L., and wishes she had when Brent turns up dead, and both of them now have a motive for murder. Caught in the middle are Emily, the Faraday's young daughter, who loves both parents but instinctively knows there will be trouble in the family and Treva, Maddie's best friend, whose secret is so old and so buried, she can't possibly tell Maddie the truth. Right up till the end, it isn't apparent Cruisie manages to mix humor with her taste for outrageous sex and chocolate, and with the mystery of Brent's untimely demise. Maddie's a true heroine in the Crusie tradition, mixed up, mad, confused and much loved by the people whose lives she touches. Droll, sentimental, appealing, sexy and told for laughs, "Tell Me Lies" is a great beach book, and a winner for the consistent Crusie!

Summary: Crusie amuses
Review: I believe that "Tell Me Lies" was Jennifer Crusie's first novel. I read it and became an immediate Crusie fan, and have read every new book of hers soon after release. Crusie has a remarkable ability to draw her characters both believably and amusingly. The plots are not complex, but the humor is wonderful and the sex scenes are pretty hot too. I recommend "Tell Me Lies" and any other Crusie novel you can get your hands on. I can't wait for "Faking It" to arrive in August!

Summary: Good, but not funny.
Review: When I got this book I was really excited because I had heard so much about it being funny and sexy. Though it was kinda sexy, it lacked in humour. The characters had potential, but some of them lacked emotions. Even though Brent was a terrible man, the people closest to him didn't seem to care much when he turned up missing. The one part of this book that I absolutely loved was how the point of view kept changing between characters. It kinda felt like watching a soap. The plot was deep, but not so deep that it required too much thought. It kept you guessing until the end, when it all came together. Overall, this was a nice book to read while outside on a hot summer day.

Summary: This is a fabulous book, no LIE!!
Review: I highly recommend this book. I couldn't put the book down. It seems like just one thing after another happens to Maddie in the book. I was constantly saying, Oh my goodness and I can't believe this. It's a very emotional, yet humorous book. Jennifer Crusie does an excellent job showing the passion that Maddie and C.L. had for each other. It's one of those books that you curl up on the couch with a blanket and don't get up till it's finished. Enjoy!!
