Action/Romance. Agnes is very busy trying to plan her god-daughter's wedding, make cupcakes, and meet her article deadline when some pipsqueak with a gun busts into her house and demands her dog.

A fun, fast read. A teensy bit frenetic, even compared to Crusie's normal, rapid-fire style. Glad I bought it, as I have most of her books, because like the others, I'm sure I'll reach for it again.

Jennifer Cruise is always a safe bet for a fun, breezy, and occasionally steamy read, and she does not disappoint with this one. Wacky neighbors, obnoxious family, unfairly good descriptions of delicious sounding food, and some serious chemistry between our leads.
A little too hectic for my taste, but likeable.
