And what she wants is something her ex always vetoed--a puppy. A bouncy, adorable puppy. Instead she gets...Fred. 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. 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! 3409 1999 Anyone But You total:1592|5:19|4:42|3:32|2:6|1:1| 1592 5825 2078 180 5 7 false false Sun Apr 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Feb 27 14:56:30 -0800 2009 Sun Apr 26 12:16:45 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Wed Nov 22 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Wed Apr 30 20:59:13 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 03 15:06:08 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Tue Feb 03 20:16:20 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 05 05:58:52 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 03 20:16:20 -0800 2009 1 more...]]> 3 1 false false Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 28 14:25:30 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 28 14:33:40 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Sep 25 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Feb 04 06:17:54 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 04 06:18:13 -0800 2009 My first Jennifer Cruise book and I loved it.
