Trust Me on This - Jennifer Crusie




Dennie Banks is an investigative reporter chasing down the biggest story of her career. Alec Prentice is a government agent working undercover to catch an elusive grifter. When they meet by accident, it’s a case of mistaken identities at first sight. What they don’t mistake is the instant attraction they have for each other, an attraction they’ll do everything in their power to resist—because Dennie thinks that Alec is running interference for her interview subject, and Alec suspects that Dennie is linked to his swindler. As the confusion grows, so do their feelings for each other, and what begins as a romantic comedy of errors may just end in the love affair of a lifetime.

First of all this will be a short review okay now that I've said that onward...

I am a huge fan of Jennifer Crusie. Her books are always lighthearted and funny. They always make me smile and they are a good break between historicals.

This book was no exception. I was laughing at the antics of Dennie, Alec, Harry and Victoria. Yeah I know the description only mentions Dennie and Alec but the story of Harry and Victoria was just as important or wonderful as Dennie and Alec's.

While I really loved the story and the reason I'm only giving it four stars is I felt it was a bit rushed but then again they were only together at a hotel for a weekend but other than that the story was great and I think if maybe if it took place over a week instead of a weekend it might not have felt  so rushed.

Also this book is a reiusse from 1997 so I also found it funny that the references were from that time so I thought that added to the hilarity of it.

So nevertheless if you are in the mood for a quick, funny and lighthearted read then this book (or pretty much any Jennifer Crusie book) will be the ticket!!

Don't Look Down - Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer



Synopsis:

Don't Look Down is a marriage of romance and action story, written by two experts in the genres. Jenny Crusie writes Lucy Armstrong, a film director with family problems--why is her sister so depressed, her niece so unhappy, and her ex-husband so intent on getting her back--and career problems--why is the star so determined to do his own stunts, the ingenue so determined to seduce the stunt double, and that Green Beret stunt double so damn attractive? Bob Mayer writers J. T. Wilder, a Green Beret who has his own troubles including the goofball actor he's doubling for, the stunt coordinator who's gunning for him (literally), and the director who looks like Wonder Woman and keeps distracting him from his mission. And that's before the CIA, the Russian mob, and the one-eyed alligator show up.

I had read the second book by Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer called Agnes and the Hitman and was completely enamored with it and have been searching high and low for this book ever since and the other day while in my favorite place in the world (Books-a-Million) I found it and grabbed it because it was the last one!

I was very pleased with this book...it had humor and yes Wonder Woman...suffering sappho!! OMG give me a man like Captain J.T. Wilder anyday and I would be happy!! Also Lucy is strong and willing to do what she has to in order to protect her family and her friends.  The only thing I'm disappointed in was the ending it felt a little abrupt I guess I was wanting a little more but the scene out in the woods more than made up for it, LOL!! I mean how often in a book do you read about women dressing up in Wonder Woman WonderWear...totally hilarious!! I cannot wait to read their newest book Wild Ride but right now it is only in hard back so I will have to wait until it comes out in paperback or who knows I might get crazy and purchase the hard back version!!

Rating: ***** (5 yeah I said the scene in the woods made up for my small disappointment geeze)

You wanna read J.T. and Lucy's story just go here --->Don't Look Down and you can do that!!
