And last but not at all the least, I like how Kate and Jake start out as friends before their attraction finally overwhelms them and they get down in the store-room in the back of a bar. Third of all, the snobby twits Kate dates and what happens to them are worth the price of admission alone.
Second of all, their courtship is hilarious. And Jake? I was SO TIRED of reading about alpha asshole cops and high-powered Type-A corporate raiders in contemporaries that Jake, who’s so relaxed and easygoing that his brother calls him a potted plant (which, if true, then he’s a really fucking SEXY potted plant, rrrowr) was a big breath of fresh air. What makes Kate especially adorable is that I fully expected her to be some sort of tiresome, superficial ice queen because Crusie totally sets it up that way then BLOWS UP THOSE EXPECTATIONS, the tricky, magnificent bitch. First of all, Kate and Jake are adorable. Would not have CARED even if I had noticed them, because I love the story and the characters so much. Manhunting: Crusie disses on this book pretty hardcore, but really, all the problems she listed? Did not notice them.
Brace yourselves, kids: Condensed snark (and copious fangirl love) for every romance novel Jennifer Crusie has published thus far. Those of you who have seen the Lisa Kleypas Lightning Reviews ( Part the First, Part the Second) know exactly what to expect from this feature.
