Book Description:
Turn left at small town secrets...

Sophie Dempsey is content living a quiet life filming wedding videos until an assignment brings her to Temptation, Ohio. From the moment she drive into town, she gets a bad feeling; Sophie is from the wrong side of the tracks and everything in Temptation is a little too right. And when she has a run-in with the town's unnervingly sexy mayor, Phineas Tucker, making a little movie turns out to be more than a little dangerous.

Yield to oncoming desire...

All Sophie wants to do is film the video and head home. All Phin wants to do is play pool with the police chief and keep things peaceful. They both get more than they bargained for when Sophie's video causes an uproar and the proper citizens of Temptation set out to shut them down.

Welcome to temptation...

As event spiral out of control, Sophie and Phin find themselves caught in a web of gossip, blackmail, adultery, murder, and really excellent sex. All hell breaks loose in Temptation as Sophie and Phin fall deeper and deeper in trouble...and in love.

Another cute chick lit novel from Crusie... Two sisters who operate a small wedding video business join a has-been actress to make a film in the actress' home town. Naturally, they almost immediately meet handsome available men, and romance (and explicit sex) promptly ensues. Throw in a mother who is protective of her 30-something, womanizing son, a Porn King who may sponsor the film if they spice it up a little, a councilman's daughter who can't wait to get out of town, and, oops, a dead body, and you know you're off for a fun ride.

Very humorous, sexy, smart story. The female characters are strong women and you'll want to cheer for them through out the story.

Filled with laughs both big and small, this is a fun little book about life, love and putting your family first always. While parts were a bit drawn out and mildly confusing, the overall story kept me smiling until the very end.

Very quick and fun read, I'm looking forward to starting Fast Women soon... little bit scandalous, so if you like that kind of thing, this is for you. :)

Another book with the Dempsey family. Always good for comical antics and maybe a con or two.

Hilariously sexy romance about a filmaker and the mayor of a small town in Ohio.

What a great, light summer read...I think Crusie's best book! A romantic comedy/mystery with likeable characters, small town gossip and a bit of political intrigue thrown in for good measure. I pulled my lounge chair into the shade and gobbled this one up like candy.

Too chic-litty for my taste. Not the type of hero and heroine I usually go for.
