I do like Jennifer Crusie's sense of humor. In this reprint of 1996's Anyone But You (#34), she refers to this light-hearted romance as "Fred's book". Fred is a pound dog - morose, overweight, part beagle, part bassett, and the perfect companion for a newly-divorced forty year who has sworn off men. So of course Fred is the means of hooking up Nina with her much younger downstairs neighbor - a buff ER doctor trying not to cave in to family pressure to specialize in a more lucrative branch of medicine. You know how the book is going to end, but the fun is in getting there.
Funny, sexy and a pleasant way to give your brain a vacation.
