Book Description:
Minerva Dobbs knows that happily-ever-after is a fairy tale, especially with a man who asked her to dinner to win a bet. Even if he is gorgeous and successful Calvin Morrisey. Cal knows commitment is impossible, especially with a woman as cranky as Min Dobbs. Even if she does wear great shoes, and keep him on his toes. When they say good-bye at the end of their evening, they cut their losses and agree never to see each other again.
But Fate has other plans, and it's not long before Min and Cal meet again. Soon, they're dealing with a jealous ex-boyfriend, Krispy Kreme donuts, a determined psychologist, chaos theory, a freakishly intelligent cat, Chicken Marsala, and more risky propositions than either of them ever dreamed of. Including the biggest gamble of all-true love.

I CAN TRULY SAY THAT I LAUGHED MY WAY THROUGH THIS BOOK- I LOVE HIM BUT I DON'T LIke HIM! I READ IT AT A MEDICAL MANAGERS MEETING WITH BLUE CROSS AND UNITED HEALTHCARE. I SAT ON THE BACK ROW AND I HAD TEARS TRYING TO NOT LAUGH OUT LOUD! :}
IT IS TRULY THE BEST ONE OF HERS I HAVE READ.
P.S. I WILL NEVER EAT A KRISPY KREME DONUT AGAIN WITHOUT REMEMBERING THIS BO0K!

This was a great book! I loved the humor and the unusual obstacles these two had to overcome--also includes an interesting cast of friends and their attempts to find love. Leading lady is a not-so-slim gal with poor self-esteem and main man is purrrfect.

I love Minerva Dobbs! She's tough, smart, funny, curvy, sassy and has a fabulous shoe collection (which just speaks to my heart). Upon hearing that she's become part of a guy bet, she decides to take the guys for their money. Meanwhile Calvin Morrisey can't get over Minerva's shoes, her delicious kisses, her womanly figure and her witty comebacks. To top it off, his nephew loves her too... now who can resist that. With their friends in the fracas, it's just page after page of hilarious antics and ridiculous rationalizations. A definite winner.

This was my first J Crusie, but not my last! I really enjoyed this book. It's a romance, but not too lovey, filled with lots of jokes, snarks, and fun characters
