Mitch Peabody was learning pretty fast that the life of a private detetive was not all it was cracked up to be. Cheating husbands, suspicious wives, unsuspecting mistresses--case after case left him cynical and disillusioned. This was nothing like the world of tough-talking detectives and smart-mouthed, stunning dames he'd envisioned....until she walked through the door.
Right down to her stilettos, Mae Sullivan was a knockout with a lethal body--and a lethal family to go with it. There was something not quite on the up-and-up about her, but she came with a case he couldn't afford to refuse...and left him with a case of lust like he hadn't had since hight school. It didn't take long for him to fall for her, hook, line and sinker. But was Mae only interested in catching the double-crossing crooks who murdered her uncle...or did the lady want to catch him.

Great story, not just romance but a lot of laugh out louds too. Keeps you reading to see how hero & heroine connect.
Helpful Score: 1
This book follows Crusie's successful formula. However, like all her books, the dialogue and surrounding plot (other than the man and woman meet, decide they'd never get together with each other, then wind up doing just that), make it an enjoyable read. Although I could do without the detailed sex scenes, I like that she always mentions using condoms.
As usual with her books, Crusie wrote a funny, sexy novel. Great characters and lots of fun.

Fun, quick read about a missing diary, a stockbroker-turned-P.I., and Crusie's usual gang of quirky supporting characters.

Excellent. Witty and chaotic.

LOVED this book. I can't get enough of Jennifer Cruise. It was a fast and easy read. I laughed most of the way.

Crusie never fails to make me laugh. This is a small book and a fast read.

This book was a fun read, kept me wanting to read more and more. The author has written an interesting and different sort of plot and the story features characters like a dumb-as-a-box-of-rocks pet dog and relatives with mafia type personalities and behavior. The women are gorgeous regardless of age or I.Q. The hero is a stockbroker acting as a private detective (as a result of a bet with buddies) Maybe not completely plausible, but hey, it's fiction.
Easy beach read. Not one of my favorites though.
Funny. Very enjoyable.
Cute, easy read.
This adventure romance from the great Jennifer Cruise is a pleaser.
I didn't enjoy this one as much as some of the others by this author. It's still a fun, easy read, but I was a bit bored.
More bubblegum for the brain!
Typical and enjoyable Cruisie - a little romance, a little murder mystery. Sexy and funny with likeable characters.
A fun read!
Funny but liked some of her other books better
loved this book. good read> wish it was longer!
Very witty and fast paced!
This book was good
Another fun Jennifer Cruise book, a romance mystery type. Her books are easy to read, fast paced, and full of interesting twists. I read this book in 2 days! Love it!
Quick read. Entertaining and lighthearted romance.
Jennifer Crusie tells a great story full of oddball characters and lots of twists and turns.
Very good, funny book by Jennifer Crusie.
Typical cute, entertaining Crusie book!
Fun story as always from this author. A light read with intruiging characters and funny dialogue.
Another delightful book by Jennifer Crusie...

You can't go wrong with Crusie! Laugh out loud funny!
It was a cute book by Jennifer Crusie. It would be a good beach read.
This is one of Crusie's series romances, which were my favorites. Lots of humor and a quick read.
Smart mouthed Mae hires Mitch as a private detective to find out who murdered her uncle.
Sexy and funny, with unexpected twists and turns.
Worth the read.
Cute book of how a lady gets what she wants in life and love.
