I actually love Tell Me Lies maybe the most, but that was my first. Bet Me or Fast Women would be next.
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Crusie was my first breath of fresh air after a diet almost composed entirely of Nora Roberts, LaVyrle Spencer, and People magazine. I read it three times in a row and then ran out and bought everything else.

Strangely, Faking It is my least favorite. I like Crazy in Love more, even.
And her old reprints are good fun, too.
I never could get through the first collaboration with Bob Whoever, though.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I thought my first was Welcome to Temptation, and then I discovered I had one of her old category romances called Charlie All Night.

Oh man, I LOVE Temptation. The porno, and the wallpaper, and FINN, and all of it. Great book.

And he's a dickhead.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
"Faking It" is my favorite Crusie, and like Teppy it was also my first.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Faking It is also my favorite, and to make it better, the cover illustration looks like me AND there is a character with my name in the book!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
AND there is a character with my name in the book!
Who is AWESOME.
When I asked the other day if anyone here had recommended 13 Bullets to me, what happened when I looked it up on Amazon so that I could link was that I found out there are THREE MORE BOOKS in the series. I didn't realize when I started it that it *was* a series.
They're so fucking creepy and dark -- vampires written very differently than most other vampire stories/shows/movies (these vampires are NOT Spike or Edward Cullen, or even Dracula) -- and yet I *must* find out what happens.
I anticipate sleepless nights in my future.

There are Garveys in Welcome to Temptation, which seemed cool till I realized they were douchebags. A Steve Garvey specifically, too!
That series looks good, Tep.
