Summary: Romantic Times Review
Review: In WHAT THE LADY WANTS (4.5), a rakish broke masquerading as a detective takes on much more than a murder investigation when he agrees to help a sexy, provocative heiress recover her dead uncle's diary. With warmth and wit, Jennifer Crusie's rollicking romance spices up our reading excitement in this amorous adventure of sizzling attraction and memorable characters.

Summary: Kooky supporting cast. Funny Farce.
Review: Mae Sullivan is looking for a schmuk--specifically, a dumb P.I. with testosterone for brain cells. Cynical Mitch thinks his fantasy Bridget O'Shaughnessy (from The Maltese Falcon) just walked in his door. SHE needed him to find a missing diary. HE wanted to put a lot of distance between himself & her wacky mobster relatives. BOTH had no plans of getting involved. I dropped 1 star bec. with the amount of fantasizing Mitch did (especially about The Maltese Falcon), it was a wonder how he got any work done.

Summary: A fun romp
Review: Not my favorite J. Crusie, but still good none the less. I love her quick wit and fast reading style of writing. Her books are a sunny breeze and always a good time. I did enjoy the story line, and the Uncles and Carlo were a hoot. I recommend this read as a good time, light fun and for lots of smiles.

Review: This is a 1995 Cruisie book that I just discovered. The dialog was funny and witty. The leads were independant people who in the end weren't afraid to need. I love the "laying pipeline and opening the West"! A quick, entertaining read.

Summary: Lovin' Crusie
Review: This was the second Jennifer Crusie book I've read, and she has made a fan of me for life! I bought the rest of her books and cannot wait to read them.Mae and Mitch are both funny, but together, they are hilarious! I loved the banter and sexual innuendos, but most of all, I love the thoughts of each character. I was quite confused, however, when I read my back cover and read Mitch Peabody, but began reading the book and his alias last name was Peatwick. Whetever. Had nothing to do with the story, I just wanted to point that out, because I thought that any editor should have caught that. Overall, if you like to laugh and enjoy eccentric and witty characters, read this book. In fact, read all of Crusie's books. Strange Bedpersons, Getting Rid of Bradley and Manhunting were also hilarious! I still have more to read!

Review: What fun read! Jennifer Crusie delivers another winner with What the Lady Wants! This is a great romantic mystery that cannot be missed. Mitch Peabody is a private detective who's working on the largest case of his career. Mae Sullivan -- femme fatale extraordinaire -- wants to find her rich uncle's murderer. Now Mitch has to investigate Mae's powerful and dangerous family. The case isn't a simple one, and Mitch is reluctant to probe further, but Mae's glossy good looks and tenacious nature don't facilitate things. There are some fun twists in the novel.
What the Lady Wants is one of the most entertaining quick reads I've had in quite a while. This isn't exactly mentally stimulating, but it is sheer escapism and enjoyment. Perfect for the beach. Are you planning a vacation this summer? Take this sexy romp with you!

Summary: Beyond hilarious!
Review: What happens when a laid-back stockbroker-turned-private-eye meets a sassy dame with a world-class ass? You'll just have to read the book to find out... "What the Lady Wants" has the feel of a classic 1940's movie; Cary Grant meets "The Maltese Falcon". Mitch and Mae Belle trade witty, sexy banter while dodging bullets and trying to solve the case of the missing trust fund. The superb supporting cast of lethal relatives, secretive servants, mysterious mistresses, and one dumb dog are a wonderful background to Mitch and Mae's love story. My favorite of all Jennifer Crusie's wonderful novels, this is one that you'll want to read over and over again. I lost count after a dozen or so rereads, and I still laugh at the same parts
