The author, who started on the romance aisle can found in general fiction these days, as was this novel--often a sign of quality. I'd liked the other book by her I'd tried, Anyone But You. More than once I've been told by people who don't like romance books that Crusie is their one exception--I can understand why. I loved the heroine, Minerva Dobbs, a "chubby" thirty-something who has friends and a sister who love her and a mother who drives her insane. And Calvin Morrisey--I fell a bit in love

5 stars! I loved this title and it's my favorite one so far by Jennifer other than her Crusie/Mayer books. Charm boy can come into my dreams anytime... Fairy tales mixed with modern day romance and such witty lines!

When this was chosen by the Chick Lit book club I almost didn't read it but then I found it in the library so I decided to give it a shot. It was a lot of fun, the characters kind of made me think of some old movie. There were a few annoying things but overall I was happy to ignore them and keep reading.

Before we knew what chick-lit was, we liked chick-lit and Jennifer Cruise never fails to dissapoint! I've read most of her books and this one is great as well. Different than Welcome to Temptation, which I have on my book shelf as well. Suspense, humor, sarcasm, romance..it has it all!
