Book Description:
LOVE AND DECEPTION HAVE A LOT IN COMMON.
Meet the Goodnights, a respectable family who run a respectable art gallery-and have for generations. There's Gwen, the matriarch who likes to escape reality, Eve the oldest daughter who has a slight identity problem (she has two), Nadine, the granddaughter who's ready to follow in the family footsteps as soon as she can find a set that isn't leading off a cliff. And lastly, Matilda, the youngest daughter, has inherited the secret locked down in the basement of the Goodnight Gallery, the secret she's willing to do almost anything to keep, even break into a house in the dead of night to steal back her past.

THE RISKS ARE INTOXICATING.
Meet the Dempseys, or at least meet Davy, a reformed con man who's just been ripped off for a cool three million by his financial manager, who then gallantly turned it over to Clea Lewis, the most beautiful sociopath Davy ever slept with. Davy wants the money back, but more than that he'll do anything to keep Clea from winning, including break into her house in the dead of night to steal back his future.

AND IF YOU'RE REALLY GOOD AT THEM, THEY BOTH PAY OFF.
One collision in a closet later, Tilda and Davy reluctantly join forces to combat Clea, suspicious art collectors, a disgruntled heir, and an exasperated hitman, all the while coping with a mutant dachshund, a juke box stuck in the sixties, questionable sex, and the growing realization that they can't turn their backs on the people they were meant to be...or the people they were born to love.

A really fun read,it took a great imagination to come up with these characters. The story is sexy, funny, and keeps you guessing. My favorite Crusie so far.

I loved this book. These days I am into light, fun beach reads and this one had it all. Kept me laughing until the end. Ms. Crusie has an unusual style of writing which takes a little getting used to but I definitely recommend staying with it, you won't be disappointed. I have enjoyed all her books and was very happy with this one as well.

Very clever! This one has been sort of slow going...read it, put it down, pick it up again ... then it starts getting very intriguing, then brilliantly confusing, then it is all cleared up very wittily. By the end of the book, I was laughing out loud and cheering for ALL of the characters, good and bad. A very enjoyable read!

This book is a spin off of Welcome to Temptation and features Davy Dempsey as the main character. He finally gets his Happily Ever After with a heroine and her family just perfect for someone bent like Davy! Phin and Sophie from Temptation make cameo appearances. Loved it!

Funny and whitty. Great read. If you like Janet Evanovich you will like Jennifer Cruise. Great story line and this is the best one she has written yet.

What a fun read! But then, anything by Jennifer Crusie is bound to be full of imagination. You can't go wrong.

By far my favorite book by Jennifer Crusie! The colorful and quirky Goodnight family really cracked me up. Faking It was such a fun read, particularly if you enjoy flawed characters and art.
