oyceterMore Crusie!
Speaking of which, I had Krispy Kreme donuts for the first time, and in Ohio, in honor of Bet Me. I know, I'm a complete geek. Unfortunately, I have decided I am really just not a donut person. And is it spelled donut or doughnut or what?!
Manhunting: Uptight Kate vows to get a husband and as a result goes to the Cabin, a rich resort half run by laid back Jake. We can all see what's coming up from miles ahead, of course, being a romance, but that in no way detracts from the sheer enjoyment of watching Kate go through potential dates in a particularly lethal manner, or having the two be the last people to realize they are emitting giant sexual tension.
What the Lady Wants: Mae Sullivan walks through private investigator Mitch's door and fulfills all his dreams of being Sam Spade. Except she's not really Brigid O'Shaughnessy, and he's not very Sam Spade at all, and she's got an incredibly hilarious, over-protective family. I particularly adore Uncle Gio.

minnow1212's review
I don't know why Crusie makes me so happy because I can never quite pin it down, but she's got impeccable comic timing, real people, and is immensely feminist in a non-angry, non-overly-PC type way. Okay, obviously these are things that make me happy.
Mmmm, need more Crusie....
