From back cover:

"Sophie Dempsey is content living a quiet life filming wedding videos until an assignment brings her to Temptation, Ohio. From the moment she drives into town, she gets a bad feeling. Sophie is from the wrong side of the tracks and everything in Temptation is a little too right. And when she has a run-in with the town's unnervingly sexy mayor, Phineas Tucker, making a movie turns out to be more than a little dangerous.
All Sophie wants to do is film the video and head home. All Phin wants to do is play pool with the police chief and keep things peaceful. They both get more than they bargained for when Sophie's video causes an uproar and the proper citizens of Temptation set out to shut them down.
As events spiral out of control, Sophie and Phin find themselves caught in a web of gossip, blackmail, adultery, murder, and really excellent sex. All hell breaks loose in Temptation as Sophie and Phin fall deeper and deeper in trouble..and in love."

Journal Entry 3 by mellonhead from Austin, Texas USA on Thursday, August 24, 2006
Arrived today! Thank you. I'll start right away as I'm in between books. My first Crusie book.
8/29 - I finished the book last night. It was fun. I really enjoyed the characters. I have to say that it started out a little too unbelieveable, but the character development was pretty good and the dialogue was very good. I really enjoyed the twists and turns, even though there was some predictability about what would finally happen. I can see why these are so popular; it was a very enjoyable, easy read.

I'm Pming Bokwormy now.

A few other bookrings/rays are in front of this one. Will get to ASAP.

Journal Entry 7 by collectorkerri from Springfield, Illinois USA on Monday, November 6, 2006
This is not one of Crusie's best, but the characters were likable enough and although the story was a little predictable, it was an enjoyable book.

On its way to acountkel to continue the bookray.

Journal Entry 8 by acountkel from Charlotte, North Carolina USA on Friday, November 10, 2006

Thank you classicfox for including me.

Journal Entry 9 by acountkel from Charlotte, North Carolina USA on Tuesday, November 21, 2006
This book started out really lame. I was not into it at all. From the middle to the end it was a little better. I am not a big chick lit fan. This is the first Cruise book I have read. Not sure if I would read another. This one was about Sophie and Amy who come to Temptation, Ohio to make a movie. They make some friends and they make some enemies too. There is love, sex, hate and murder in this. Almost like a soap opera. The humor isn’t bad but I don’t think I’m going to remember this book after next week

Will mail this to blackadder75 tomorrow morning.

Overall I enjoyed this book. It was a good story, although some parts were not as believeable as others. I will be sending it on to sweetybeans.

just recieved today :) am starting it now

Journal Entry 13 by sweetybeans from Cottage Grove, Oregon USA on Saturday, December 16, 2006
it was a pretty decent beach book. it was not as good as faking it(brother's perspective) and i am glad i read that one first. i liked that the dempsey family story was in this book, but was from the sister's perspective. still i liked the book and would be interested in reading more by crusie..

Journal Entry 14 by froggie66 from Ottawa, Ontario Canada on Wednesday, January 17, 2007
It arrived safely. Have read the first few pages already at lunch --- shall see if it gets better. So far not quite what I like to read. But, only fair, I have only read the first 5 pages.

Journal Entry 15 by froggie66 from Ottawa, Ontario Canada on Tuesday, January 23, 2007
Think I will be sending this one on as my pile is too big and well I don't want to hold it up.

Journal Entry 16 by froggie66 from Ottawa, Ontario Canada on Friday, January 26, 2007
Sent it off to Deereads - next on the list. Realized I had forgot to make a journal entry to release it...

Journal Entry 17 by deereads from Barrie, Ontario Canada on Tuesday, January 30, 2007
Received today in mail. Thanks Froggie66 and classicfox!! Next on my TBR list.

Have sent PM to aneca for address.

Journal Entry 18 by deereads from Barrie, Ontario Canada on Saturday, February 3, 2007
I did like the storyline but I just couldn't get into this book. I didn't get past the first half. I wasn't connecting to any of the characters, except I really liked the bookstore - I would love to run a bookstore in a small community!!

Sending on to aneca.

It jusr arrived! Thanks for sharing :-)

Journal Entry 20 by aneca on Friday, February 23, 2007
I really really enjoyed this book. It was funny, witty, had interesting characters and lots and lots of humour. I sure love these kind of books.

Sophie Dempsey goes to Temptation with her sister Amy to help her shoot a movie. As soon as they arrive they are involved in a car accident and the rumours that they are shooting a porno movie start.

Enter the Mayor Phin Tucker to investigate the case as the members of the council want to approve an anti porn law. Sophie is not happy with him poking around since he is the kind of guy who hurt her when she was young. But Phin just doesn’t give and in the middle of some very funny dialogues manages to convince her otherwise.

The council members, the movie’s actress and respective husband, Phin and Sophie’s families only contribute more to make this a very entertaining story. I think Sophie was a bit too devoted to her grown sister, always solving her problems for her but it really didn’t bother me as much as I thought it would. Phin was just great with his laid back attitude about being a mayor and how he really wanted was to shoot pool and dedicate himself to his bookstore.

There are two secondary romances and some mysteries to uncover not to mention a murder plot but all of them bring something funny to the story. This somewhat unusual small town is the perfect setting for this book.

Highly recommended and an A.

I think I'm the last person in this bookray so unless classicfox would like me to release again immediately I think I'll hold on to it for a while to reread my favourite bits. Just let me know what you prefer :-)

I borrowed this book from aneca as I'm a fan of Jennifer Crusie and read Faking It without even knowing it was part of a series. Thanks! :-)
