Welcome to Temptation Jennifer Crusie Books

I can always count on Jennifer Crusie to give me a true break from everything. A bit old-fashioned in a sweet, rather than dated, way (though the love scenes are wonderfully steamy without ever being crude). Hard to put down, missed it whenever I wasn’t reading. Nice and long and full, with an incredibly satisfying ending, which still managed to make me want to pick up the next book right away (something I almost never do). Sophie and Phin are a wonderful pair, Phin is a to-die-for lover with tons of class and integrity yet he has his issues. Sophie is intelligent, hard-working, and such a good person, but she makes mistakes too. Their conflicts are totally believable. I never once shook my head or rolled my eyes. The rest of (quite large) cast is fully drawn and includes more than one additional romance. The mystery is a good one, including, you-guessed-it, more than one whodunit. Book heaven.

Welcome to Temptation Jennifer Crusie Books Reviews

I made the mistake of reading "Faking It" first. That one took so long to get into, that I was not sure I wanted to invest any time in "Welcome to Temptation," which intorduces readers to the Dempsey family. I am sure glad I decided to throw caution to the wind. I just loved this book! It is the story of two sisters who come to town to make a documentary, and end up unwittingly making a porno film and falling for upstanding pillars of the community.

The characters of Sophie and Phin are so well drawn out and sexy, that they jump from the page. There's also a lot of attention to detail for the secondary characters - they are all so well fleshed out. The initial "romantic" encounter between Sophie and Phin is the stuff that romance dramas thrive on, and I had misgivings at first (I thought I was reading a Harlequin romance novel), but then Crusie hooked me in with her inventive prose (and more inventive imagination). And she has a great knack for Dusty Springfield and goofy movie quotes (I found myself trying to guess the movie too!)

Crusie brings a mixture of romance, emotion, mystery and plotting to tell an engaging story of how two lost people manage to find each other in a storm of controversy. And let's face it, porn, pool, phallic symbols, and politics make for good storytelling.

I don't understand why Hollywood has not discovered her stories instead of churning out remake after remake of really bad television shows.
I discovered Jennifer Crusie books about 6 or 7 months ago.... and fell in love with her funny, nutty, zany, witty (and steamy) characters & scenario's.
I have now (purchased from ) read about 6 of her books... and so far, "Welcome to Temptation" is my favorite.

I have written "no spoilers" here .... (Just my 2 cents worth of my opinion about this book).

There are at least three chapters where I laughed so hard, I had tears in my eyes.
One in particular was so funny... I had to stop reading.... take off my glasses... wipe my eyes... while I continued to snort and giggle for nearly 3 minutes.

Other chapters, I had a lot of laughs and smiles. Jennifer Crusie also writes "great hot sex" chapters.... (which steamed-up my glasses).
I LOVED THIS BOOK!
I have read dozens of "funny romance" novels by other authors. But, Jennifer Crusie is my favorite.

Besides the great humor, and steamy sex... I love how she makes each character so unique from each other. (even secondary characters).
If you've never read one of Jennifer Crusie books... buy this one.
I am constantly amazed by Jennifer Crusie's writing talent. Although I have long known that she produces some of the greatest dialogue around - such as in "Bet Me," I wasn't yet aware of her range in characterization and plots. "Welcome to Temptation" reveals this talent thoroughly.
Sophie Dempsey is the eldest daughter in a family of "gypsies." As a child, her family made frequent moves and engaged in constant con jobs. Sophie is the one member of the Dempsey family that does not have a police record. As the eldest, she has spent a lifetime of sacrificing her needs to look after her siblings - Amy and Dave. They are a close family who believe that "family comes first."
When Amy gets her involved in filming a porn movie in Temptation, Sophie is divided. She has met the sexy new mayor, Phineas Tucker, but for the first time is torn between loyalties. When she meets his beguiling daughter, Dillie, Sophie doesn't stand a chance.
Like all small towns, Temptation is not one to easily embrace new comers. It is a town where gossip travels like the wind and tradition is to be carried on at all costs. However, Temptation has never met a woman like Sophie, a dichotomy of innocence and predator.
I loved Sophie's "Five-Step Program"
1. Make the Mark smile.
2. Get the Mark to agree with you.
3. Make the Mark feel superior.
4. Give the Mark something.
5. Get what you want and get out.
The characterizations in this book were magnificent. Rachel, Rob, Frank, Virginia, Liz, Leo, Wes, Amy, and Davy - they were just so well defined.
I loved the ending to this book with Sophie's thoughts on the political posters. It was just hilarious and hopeful and you truly got the sense that this could work....
OMG. I discovered Jennifer Crusie years ago and decided to listen to this audiobook, which I've had forever. I remembered vague plot points, but quickly became engrossed and obsessed with finding out the story all over again. I actually bought the version! Agh! Crusie has a way of describing the ludicrous and sometimes monotonous into something fascinating. I love the way she does her sex scenes. They're super realistic and raw.

I didn't know what to think of Phin in the beginning. He kind of came off as a pushover and I was thrown off because I didn't remember that he had a kid. I mean, who would want a guy who doesn't get emotional over anything?? But, of course, Phin ends up drool worthy and I laughed myself silly when she hustled him at pool. Very much looking forward to delving into her work again!
