Welcome to Temptation by Jennifer Crusie

Okay, this is a ROMANCE author who does not write children's books. If you are purely looking for suggestions of what to pick up for your kid's bedside table. Skip this book. Skip this author. But, these are deliciously fun reads for the adult who is looking for a "beach read". I bought this book for the plane ride to Bejing, or Newark, or Kunming, or where ever I was when I began to feel stir crazy. I wasn't a chapter in before I realized I'd read it before. I'm pretty sure anyway, even though it was a recent copywright. But, it didn't matter. It was still ridiculously fun and swarmy. The author sets her books in the area in which I live- even more fun to be in on the secret. I swear she takes parts of the fictional town of "Temptation" from my own town. In the very first chapter, in which the flesh pink water tower is described in detail- I said "That's my town!"
So, not for the kids, but a must for the lover of a frippery romance set in their own backyard!
