This is an older book, but Jennifer’s sizzle is unsurpassed. A movie assignment brings Sophie Dempsey to Temptation, Ohio. From the moment she drives into town, she has a bad feeling: Everything is a little too right.

I’ve read this book three times over the years. It has everything I’m looking for in a romance. Strong characters, humour, a proper plot, and a bit of a mystery. As with my first book choice, I’ve read everything that Jennifer Crusie has written. She is reliably good! A flawed hero and heroine but always a happy ever after. It’s a feel-good read.
