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!

Hysterical!!!

This was my first time reading a Jennifer Cruise book and I Loved It!!
I thought the characters were hysterical. I will look forward to reading another one
of her books.


One of my favorites

Not going to write a summary of the book since it's already been covered in other reviews. But I will say that this is one of my all time faves of Jennifer Crusie! Fun and sexy! Don't hesitate to read it!


Wonderful little book

I have yet to read a book by this author that I did not find delightful. Enjoyed it. Will keep reading her books. Thanks


Still a favorite after all these years

This was one of my favorite romance novels back in the 90's and, being all burned out and jaded, I decided to pick it up again to see if I'd enjoy it as much as I did back before I became so grouchy.

Much to my surprise, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. Though a few of the pop references are dated, the humor and the romance were both a delight to read and it brought me back to those days when I looked forward to spending an afternoon reading to my hearts content.

This book is about Nina, a newly divorced 40 year old woman, who is finally living her life on her terms but she's a little lonely and decides to adopt a friend. Planning on adopting a spunky new puppy she instead falls for the soulful old eyes of a beagle mix named Fred. He smells, he's long past his youth and just looking at him makes her even more depressed but once she sets her eyes on him she can't leave him sitting in the pound and takes him home to her new apartment.

Because of Fred, who mistakes neighbor Alex's window for Nina's she gets a surprise visit from the sexy younger ER doctor. The two become immediate friends and although he'd like to become a whole lot more, Nina is reluctant because she fears she's too old for him.

What follows is a book full of charm and wit and is a definite must read if you need some cheering up.

What a geat story

My first Jennifer Cruise book and I loved it. I found the audio version available at my local libary and decided to check it out. I really it less than a day finding it hard to turn off. A really nice story about a 40 year old newly divorcee, Nina looking to live a simplier life instead of the corporate life she had with her successful husband.

She meets her neighbor Alex, a 30 year old doctor, who isn't so much into long term relationships. Both are almost instantly attracted to eachother, but have issues with the age difference. Nina feeling that she isnt' attractive enough and Alex feeling like he isn't successful enough (like her ex-husband).

Great supporting characters included Alex's older brother Max, and Nina's best friend Charity and the dog Nina adopted, Fred. I never saw a pet be such a central character to a book, but Fred is a fabulous add.

The book has lots of humor, a few steamy scenes, but also presents a lovely story about a couple and working through their fears. A nice light read and I will be definetly checking out more books by this author.
