"Few popular writers handle light romantic comedy as deftly as Jennifer Crusie."

--"Boston Globe" on "Bet Me"

"A sure bet...Jennifer Crusie's rollicking romance hits the jackpot."

"--BookPage "on" Bet Me"

"Wonderful, fresh, funny, tender, outrageous...Crusie is one of a kind."

"--Booklist "on "What the Lady Wants"

"Crusie seems incapable of writing a boring page, or one that's not aglow."

"--Kirkus Reviews "on" What the Lady Wants"

"A non-traditional couple (he's 30, she's 40) and a dog with a true personality make this one of the funniest, sexiest romances of the year."

"--Library Journal "on" Anyone But You"

Jennifer Crusie

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Jennifer Crusie was researching her dissertation on the differences in the way men and women tell stories when she got sidetracked into writing romance novels.

Her first book was published in 1993 (which pretty much finished off any hope of her getting that PhD) and her twenty-second book, Maybe This Time, came out in August of 2010, all of which she considers a minor miracle, especially since she is also a New York Times, USA Today and Publisher's Weekly bestseller and a two-time Rita award winner.

Jenny is currently working on her new Liz Danger mystery series. She is a very happy woman.

Just re-read for the 10th time

And enjoyed it just as much as the first. This was the first Jennifer Crisis I read, and it sent me looking for others. (Bet Me has the best opening paragraph I’ve ever read, and I’ve read a few (tens of thousands). Crusie has a gift for characterization that’s rarely seen. My only wish is that she’d write more of them.

Manhunting is romantic, funny, and has believable dialogue. Cute story with female friendships that ring true. Great fun and a quick read.

No worries...... she's got a plan!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 20, 2014

Verified Purchase

She has a boring but "ok" career in a top management consulting firm owned by her father. She's 35...she has great friends, no money problems and her life is slipping away in a career she doesn't want. Her personal life is empty and non-existent. Kate Svenson is all business and seldom lets her hair down. She never 'cut's loose". She's polished and proper....and she'd like nothing more than to be married. She's cool, confident, efficient and independent. And she's lonely.

He has no real responsibilities or worries. After years with a career as a tax attorney, Jake Templeton has dropped out of the rat race and lives his life helping his younger brother build up his golf resort. Jake manages maintenance on most days and vedges in a rowboat on a serene lake the rest of the time. Life is good - - he's a semi-vagabond, running from commitment of any kind and he loves it. And then he meets prim and proper Kate.

This is an easy paced plot of striving towards your ultimate goal in life...so focused on reaching that goal that you don't realize when you've become blindsided and your ideals have shifted and the goal no longer applies. This is a quick read...clean, without gratuitous or explicit intimate moments (I love erotica but sometimes sweet is nice..)... It's completely predictable with enough comic relief to keep it fun.

It could be she had the wrong plan

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 29, 2021

Verified Purchase

Kate is a successful executive who after breaking three engagements wants to give up on love. Her friend talks her into making a list of what she wants in a relationship and talks her into going to a resort in Kentucky to look for her ideal man. Her plan has disastrous results and the only man she is attracted to she thinks to be true yardwork. I'm not sure how many times I have read this book . I love the characters because they're quirky and funny. It's a very entertaining feel good read.

Another winner. Funny, smart, sexy, and well-written. Who could ask for more? Buy all of her books. You will not regret it. They are just as amusing the second time around.

Oh yeah!!

I just finished this book twice over this week. I'd been wanting to read it again, but also had a lot of driving planned. So I bought an Audible version and downloaded a written copy onto my new Kindle and enjoyed myself. Over the years I think I've read this book at the very least a dozen times. The magic is still here.

A great book, very sad I've finished it.

I love this book. I'm terribly sad it's over. I really want to enjoy more of Kate, & her becoming. Still, I'm so glad I bought it; I hate buying books that I end up knowing I'll never read again.

Jennifer Crusie is always a delight. It is Chick Lot at its finest

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 3, 2018

Verified Purchase

Jennifer Crusie is always a delight. It is Chick Lot at its finest. I read all genres but when I need to laugh and just thoroughly escape from stress and pressure, I can always find that escape in her books. I read everything that she had written ten years ago but recently discovered she has written more. My happy dance is still going strong.

She writes real women and flawed romantic leads than are endearing because of that. Man hunting was a fun frolic that made me giggle and laugh. True entertainment.

Feel good romance

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 31, 2013

This is not one of JC's best. I prefer her later books. However its an undemanding and likeable book which is what JC does. I like her characters and the mild humour. Not as good as Bet Me, but its in that vein. Recommended for a light, undemanding read.

LOVE Jennifer Crusie, starting to hunt down all her books as I cam across her in her later work. This is one of her earlier ones, but fun and witty as usual. Her talent for writing great dialog is why I can't get enough. A quick and easy read :).

This is a book you can't put down.

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on April 17, 2005

I just got hooked on reading again after reading 2 Jennifer Crusie books. I'm quite a busy person, but this book is worth every minute that I spent on reading it.
I like J. Crusie's style of writing. Very real, update & colorful enough to make you feel you're with them.
The book is about Kate, a successful business woman in her mid 30's. She has everything: career & money except for someone to share her life with. She goes out with a list & a plan to find her future husband. After meeting a few yuppies, she realizes that she doesn't care for the type after all.
Jake is a divorced ex-tax lawyer who is tired of the city life & success. He went back to his hometown in the countryside to live a laid back life. Content with doing a "Handyman" job for his brother.

A lot of funny situations & no beating around the bush crap.
Great read!
Das Buch hat viele witzige Situationen. Ich kann es nur weiter empfehlen!
