Summary: eh........
Review: "Stuck With You" was o.k. The idea for the story was a cute one, but I thought that the characters were woefully underdeveloped and some of the dialogue and situations were so cheesy I couldnt help but cringe. This is the only book that I have ever experienced by this author, and while I wont say it was awful, I will say that it just wasnt for me. Mediocre at best.

Summary: delightful romantic romp
Review: Anyone, who regularly goes to the Fulton County, Georgia courthouse will believe that attorneys Paige Hart and Ross Bennett disrespect each other. She feels he is low down snake while he deems her to be shrew. Anyone, especially the two lawyers preferring not to be certified as nuts, would ever suggest that below the surface of disdain Paige and Ross are attracted to one another.
However, a disaster strikes when a blast shakes the courthouse. Overtaxed emergency crews rush victims to nearby Atlanta vicinity hospitals, but Paige and Ross were delivered by individuals carrying a special vial for CDC. The duo may have been exposed to Tibetan Concupiscence Virus. Better known as Horny Monk Disease, Ross and Paige are quarantined together in the already overcrowded facility, but begin to find the other oh so alluring. However, both wonder if they suffer from external or internal chemistry as they threaten to combust.
STUCK WITH YOU is a delightful romantic romp that refuses to apologize for its humorous look as to whether the lead couple suffers from TLC or TCV. The secondary characters provide even more amusement as Trish Jensen takes a 1930s screwball romantic comedy and turns it into a modern day madcap adventure. The Atlanta area will never look the same for those readers familiar with the steps of the Fulton County Courthouse. Harriet Klausner

Summary: A Funny Twist on the 'Love Bug' Syndrome...
Review: Funny and sharp dialog, this one is a unique twist on that nasty virus called 'The Love Bug'.
Most people dream of getting it, or passing it on to someone they admire, but in this case, Paige Hart and Ross Bennett, both lawyers on opposite sides of a bitter divorce battle are accidentally infected with it!
The culprit? The Very Rare Tibetan Concupiscence Virus, known as TCV was transmitted when the courthouse they were battling in practically blew up from a bomb and they were exposed to the virus when the ambulance coming to the rescue just happened to be carrying the weird virus on its way....well, you get the idea, lol...
Anyway, fun soon ensues when they are quarentined together in a hospital room for 2 weeks and the virus begins to show its symptoms...all raging hormones... symptomatic to the disease that isn't harmful, unless you consider what two people that hate one another with a passion can manage to do with these unbearable conditions.
Trapped with nowhere to go and not much to do except ignore one another or at least try and get along...Paige is forced to admit she is attracted to the 'Snake Lawyer' as he is known.
But as time wears on, she knows it HAS to be the virus. She hated his guts when she arrived here, now she...well...she has this little crush so to speak, on him and its getting worse by the day.
Ross on the other hand is coming to appreciate this time to get to know his enemy better. He never realized how pretty she was or how witty she was...or how stubborn and petty she could be. God he wanted out! This virus is wreaking havok on his mind and his body! Talk about permanent...nevermind.
But as time goes on, they start to wonder if its really the virus taking its nasty hold, or something far greater altogether...the love bug perhaps? Funny with lots of hilarious dialog. The only complaint I had was the fact that most of the book took place in the hospital room and after 250 pages, I longed for them to move on to soemthing else. Worth the read though, a fun pick-me-up! Tracy Talley~@

Summary: very brilliant voice in writing!!
Review: I have to admit these silly style covers are a wee bit of a turn off, but my better half insisted I read this book and I am glad she did. Trish Jensen is utterly brilliant. She has a sharp, witty way of laughing at the quirkiness in people, but with warmth that is just utterly delightful. From beginning to end, it was one big laugh after another. WHY IS THERE NOT MORE JENSEN!!!!!!??? WE NEED MORE!!!

Summary: Started off with a bang, ended with a fizzle
Review: I liked the premise of the story - two lawyers who intensely dislike each other are quarantined together in a hospital room after being exposed to a virus - a love virus, of sorts. I liked the idea of forcing the hero and heroine to be together in that situation against their will. They'd have to get used to each other's idiosyncracies and bad habits, as well as endure being in such a confined space for so long. But too many other things did not work for me. The characters are not well defined, I don't get a strong feeling for their individual personalities. The author makes the mistake of using almost the same thought processes/dialogue for both of them, thus making them too similar. It was too much to ask for the reader to suspend disbelief for the circumstances. For example: no one else, like the ambulance personnel, the ER personnel were infected. That there weren't other rooms available to confine them away from each other. That no one was killed by the bombing. The whole 'sports theme' extended foreplay was just too much, too annoying.
Paige mentions her family being wacky, but I didn't see much wackiness, just an abundance of family members. That in itself wasn't wacky, really. It's the South - that's a normal thing.
And fifteen years is a really REALLY long time for Paige to have held a grudge against divorce lawyers and to avoid serious relationships. It seems like she should have been in therapy at some point, if she held onto her negative feelings for THAT long.
The sub-plot between Paige's brother and the female doctor also didn't work because the doctor was SO similar, emotionally, to Paige - holding onto negative feelings about past events for TOO long.
The almost-sex scenes were agony to read and I skipped them, hoping for some major new developments (conflicts, other than Paige's neuroses), but it really fizzled out in the end.

Summary: The writing is good, but the plot needs a lot of work.
Review: I love books that make me laugh, and a friend told me about this book. I paid full price, and I feel somewhat had. Ms. Jensen has a gift for humor, but the plotting involved in this book is horrible. Good humor has to have some element of believability in it, and this book has none whatsoever. With a believable story line, Ms. Jensen could be among the top humor writers out there.

Summary: Really funny book!
Review: I really like this heroine. She is sharp, hard-working, and generous to her big family. The hero is a good guy, too. He's as smart as the heroine, and does a lot of good work in the community. It's important to me to like and respect romance heroes and heroines--it makes it more enjoyable when they fall in love, because I'm rooting for them. I also love really clever and funny books, and this one is that. The idea behind the comedy--that the hero and heroine are quarantined together--is really cute, and very sexy. I think the very best part of the book is the beginning, when the hero and heroine are sniping at each other in funny ways, while we the readers know how very much they are attracted to each other. The only other funny writer I know who does witty back-and-forth this well is Jayne Ann Krentz.
