Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie

Oooooh, I figured out how to add pictures... so savvy!!

It isn't often I come across an author who brings a new spin to the classic Romantic Comedy. And oh, I can asure you, this is not like most Romantic Comedys I have read. Sure, there's the handsome, but secretly damaged, leading man and the confident, yet intrinsically insecure, leading lady, but the weaving of these two characters, their lives AND their baggage is a hilariously delightful book to read. Even though there are series of moments plagued by frustrating dramatic irony, this book doesn't fail to deliver in any way. The relationship is full throughout the story--not just rushed in the end like some books that shall remain nameless--and the writing talent of Ms. Crusie is addicting and worthwhile.

If you're going to the beach this summer and feel the need to bask in someone elses romantic follies and pleasure, then I HIGHLY recommend this book. In fact, take a look at the other works of Jennifer Crusie when you speed straight through this in less than 4 days! I've read two others and of course, I was hooked and delighted by the stories told.
