YIPPY! I've finally found some time to write about the book, yesss!
So here we goooo . . .
After years in a lackluster marriage, Nell Dysart finds herself without a job, a man, and well . . . a life! So one day she randomly applies for a secretary position at a detective agency and begins to work for Gabe Mckenna--The Head Hontcho and fella with the mysterious eyes and shoulders the size of a Mac Truck, OOOO! What transpires after that is purely hilarious (literally, I laughed out loud in public places!), entertaining, suspenseful, and of course, romantic.
Gabe and Nell's tumultuous relationship in and outside the work place is a delight to read from beginning to end. With both characters displaying dominating personalities, the clash between the two titans creates a fascinating dynamic to read. From Nell trying to take over a place (new buisness cards, paint jobs, couches, etc.) she's only been a part of for a few months, to Gabe's unmasked inability to change, their relationship constantly straddles between unfiltered passion and combative rage.
Not only did Jennifer Crusie do a great job of establishing this relationship, but the details of the supporting characters of the book was also well developed and added great depth to the story as a whole. Which, unlike the last book I read, was a welcomed change!
So what would my overall review of this book be . . . well, there's not a doubt that perhaps in about 6 months I could pop open this book again and enjoy it just the same. I'm pretty sure that should say a thing or two about it. Enjoy!
