  <description><![CDATA[<strong>A timeless tale from the first name in romantic comedy -- Jennifer Crusie!</strong>  <p>Part basset, part beagle, all Cupid . . . can a matchmaking hound fetch a new love for his owner?  <p>For Nina Askew, turning forty means freedom -- from the ex-husband whose career always came first, from their stuffy suburban home. Freedom to have her own apartment in the city, freedom to focus on what <em>she</em> wants for a change. And what she wants is something her ex always vetoed -- a puppy. A bouncy puppy to cheer her up. Instead she gets . . . Fred.  <p>Overweight, smelly and obviously suffering from some kind of doggy depression, Fred is light-years from perky. But for all his faults, he does manage to put Nina face-to-face with Alex Moore, her gorgeous, younger downstairs neighbor.  <p>Alex looks great on paper -- a sexy, seemingly sane, surprisingly single E.R. doctor who shares Fred's abiding love for Oreos -- but a ten-year difference in age, despite his devastating smile, is too wide a gap for Nina to handle. Ignoring her insistent best friend, some interfering do-gooders and the ubiquitous Fred -- not to mention her suddenly raging hormones -- Nina thinks <em>anyone</em> but Alex would be a better bet for a relationship. But with every silver-haired stiff she dates, the more she suspects it's the young dog-loving doctor she wants to sit and stay!</p></p></p></p>]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[Loved it!  I have a new favorite author. :-)  This is the first book I've read by Jennifer Crusie and it will not be my last.  I read most of this book with a smile on my face.

    <![CDATA[<strong>Part basset, part beagle, all Cupid...</strong><br/>For Nina Askew, turning forty means freedom--from the ex-husband, freedom from their stuffy suburban home, freedom to focus on what she wants for a change. And what she wants is something her ex always vetoed--a puppy. A bouncy, adorable puppy. Instead she gets...Fred.<br/><br/>Overweight, middle-aged, a bit smelly and obviously depressed, Fred is light-years from perky. But he does manage to put Nina in the path of Alex Moore, her gorgeous, younger-by-a-decade neighbor.<br/><br/>Alex seems perfect--he's a sexy, seemingly sane, surprisingly single E.R. doctor--but the age gap convinces Nina that anyone but Alex would be better relationship material. But with every silver-haired stiff she dates, the more she suspects it's the young, dog-loving doc she wants to sit and stay!]]>

    <body><![CDATA[<strong>(3.5 stars)</strong> Crusie wrote <em>Anyone But You</em> in 1995 and it was a great read and highly enjoyable, but it felt more like a short story than a full-length novel. Her book, <em>Bet Me</em>, that I just read recently and absolutely loved, was written about 9 years later and I think she has definitely come a long way...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72985113">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Part basset, part beagle, all Cupid...</strong><br/>For Nina Askew, turning forty means freedom--from the ex-husband, freedom from their stuffy suburban home, freedom to focus on what she wants for a change. And what she wants is something her ex always vetoed--a puppy. A bouncy, adorable puppy. Instead she gets...Fred.<br/><br/>Overweight, middle-aged, a bit smelly and obviously depressed, Fred is light-years from perky. But he does manage to put Nina in the path of Alex Moore, her gorgeous, younger-by-a-decade neighbor.<br/><br/>Alex seems perfect--he's a sexy, seemingly sane, surprisingly single E.R. doctor--but the age gap convinces Nina that anyone but Alex would be better relationship material. But with every silver-haired stiff she dates, the more she suspects it's the young, dog-loving doc she wants to sit and stay!]]>
