5.0 out of 5 stars Move over, Fox Mulder. Agent Donnelly is here. July 13, 2000

By Barbara O'Neill

Format:Paperback

In Trish Jensen's latest, "Against His Will," we have the unlikely Combination of Jake Donnelly, FBI Agent, a bulldog named Muffin, Bob and Scooter (the T-Shirt guinea pigs-trust me, you have to read the story to get the scoop on these two), and a lovely doggie psychologist, LeAnne Crosby.

Tough Fibbie that he is, Jake wants nothing to do with Muffin until he finds out his beloved Aunt Sophie has tied his inheritance to his care of the dog, and that in the event of his default, all reverts to the lovely LeAnne. Quickly, we find out why Jake is so emotional about one of Aunt Sophie's properties. He's also suspicious about LeAnne's occupation and her up-scale resort for humans and their canine owner. Certain that she's fleecing the unsuspecting, he decides to play along with the terms of the will if only to debunk the doggie shrink. What evolves is one of the most entertaining stories I've read in a long time as Jake and LeAnne at first circle each other warily and then break down and admit their attraction for each other.

The book had me laughing and, in the end, crying. It was one of those books I wanted to go on for another 300 pages or so *just* so it wouldn't end. My heart went out to Jake and how important his Aunt Sophie and Uncle George were to him. And I loved LeAnne for her ability to get 'close' to him and help him.

I don't know of a better way to spend a couple of summer days, and if Amazon would let me, I'd give "Against His Will" a 6-star rating. I can't recommend this one highly enough and I'm looking forward to Ms.Jensen's next release.

5.0 out of 5 stars Trish's writing is so good... May 2, 2000

By Ed Williams

Format:Paperback

...it's changed my behavorial habits. Normally, as a member of the Brotherhood, I wouldn't be caught dead reading romantic fiction. Because Trish is so talented, and has a way of making these stories both believable and funny, I now find myself openly seeking her work out in the bookstores I patronize.

Buy this book - the premise is creative, the characters believable, and you'll understand why Trish is the Brotherhood's favorite (and only recommended) romantic fiction author. She must have some Southern blood in her somewhere....

5.0 out of 5 stars Trish Jensen at her hilarious and heartzinging best! May 2, 2000

By Ross Bennett

Format:Paperback

Special Agent Jake Donnelly isn't having the best year. His dear Aunt Sophie, with whom Jake had spent his wonderful childhood summers, has passed away...and left him a most peculiar bequest: guardianship of her beloved bulldog, Muffin. Her very WEALTHY bulldog Muffin. So when man and mutt meet face to face and it isn't love at first sight, what's a Special Agent to do? Find LeAnne Crosby, that's what!--even if it doesn't sound like a great idea at first.

Trish Jensen weaves a rompingly-funny, heart-tugging tail [er...tale] of romance and laughter as we follow Jake Donnelly through the peaks and pitfalls of pet parenting. With the gorgeous and brilliant Dr. Crosby to help him fall for man's best friend, and with hit-man Jimmy 'The Bunny' on his tail, Jake Donnelly is in for quite a vacation indeed!

Fetch this book home and curl up on the furniture with it. It's absolutely a must read!
