Bet Me

by Jennifer Crusie

Bet Me Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Min Dobbs knows that happily-ever-after is a fairy tale, especially with a man like Cal Morrisey, who asked her to dinner to win a bet. Cal Morrisey knows commitment is impossible, especially with a woman as cranky as Min Dobbs. When they say good-bye at the end of their evening, they cut their losses and agree never to see each other again.

But Fate has other plans, and it's not long before Min and Cal are dealing with meddling friends, wedding cake, a jealous ex-boyfriend, Krispy Kremes, a determined psychologist, chaos theory, a frantic bride, Chicken Marsala, a mutant cat, snow globes, two Mothers-from-Hell, great shoes, and more risky propositions than either of them ever dreamed of including the biggest gamble of all — unconditional love.

Synopsis:

Minerva Dobbs knows all about risk management, which is why its such a shock when David, her extremely logical choice for a boyfriend, dumps her three weeks before her perfect sisters 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 cant 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 doesnt 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.

Synopsis:

"Hard to resist . . . [a] roller-coaster ride . . . perfect escapist fare!"

-Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Crusie has a gift for concocting nutty scenarios and witty one-liners. . . . Genuine laughs."

-People

"A hoot. Oh, go ahead. Indulge." - Entertainment Weekly

"Few popular writers handle light romantic comedy as deftly as Jennifer Crusie. . . . A funny, fast-moving, densely plotted comedy/caper." -The Boston Globe

"The action is fast, the characters are quirky, and the one-liners never stop. . . . Fast-paced and sexy." -The Columbus Dispatch

"A smart, sexy story of intrigue, seduction, blackmail, and art forgery...will have readers laughing out loud and racing through its pages." -Sullivan County Democrat

"Delightful . . . could be likened to skinny-dipping in a cool pond on a muggy, hot summer afternoon: risqué, yes---maybe even a little kinky---but, oh, so refreshing." -The Roanoke Times

"As refreshing as a mint julep in the summer heat." -Bookstreet USA
