Jennifer Crusie writes contemporary romantic comedy built around witty dialogue, practical heroines and relationships that develop amid work, family and often a small mystery or scheme. Bet Me follows Minerva Dobbs after she overhears a wager involving Cal Morrisey and becomes determined not to fit the assumptions made about her. Welcome to Temptation combines filmmaking, local politics and romance in a small Ohio town, while Agnes and the Hitman, written with Bob Mayer, adds crime and action to Crusie's comic relationship style. Her books are brisk, funny and character-led, with banter and adult friendship as important as attraction. They fit contemporary romance, romantic comedy and light romantic suspense. Bet Me is the most direct introduction to Crusie's banter-heavy romantic comedy, while Welcome to Temptation adds more small-town intrigue and family complications. Read more Less
