Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie
Description from Amazon:
“Minerva Dobbs knows all about risk management, which is why it’s such a shock when David, her extremely logical choice for a boyfriend, dumps her three weeks before her perfect sister’s wedding: David was not supposed to be a wild card. So when Min overhears David make a bet with his old nemesis—the gorgeous and successful Calvin Morrisey—that Cal can’t get Min into bed in a month, she decides that fate has just handed her a stacked deck: she can make Cal sweat his sex appeal and get a date to the wedding, if she plays along and doesn’t fold. What follows is a novel of destiny, chaos theory, Krispy Kreme donuts, the spirit of Elvis, Chicken Marsala, and a gamble for the highest stake of all: true love.”
What I thought:
This was the first book I had read by Jennifer Crusie. She draws strong characters and I was pulled into the storyline. The plot moves quickly and is light, fun and heart warming. Min, the main character is an average woman and this makes her inherently lovable.
Some of the scenes are a little too cutesy for me, but hey, I’m a sucker for a love story with a happy ending. I plan to read more by Crusie.
