Manhunting by Jennifer Crusie (HQN, 1993)

challenge_name: 

Hysterically funny (as in rolling on the floor, losing your breath, had to be rescued by a paramedic funny).

My rating: 4.5/5

Up Against the Wall by Julie Miller (Harlequin Intrigue, 2007)

Not as good as previous books by Miller, but still quite decent.

From the back cover:
“Stuck between rock hard and a hard place.

“He was built like a tank, and he was undercover in Kansas City’s seediest district. Waist-deep in the trouble that came along with the Vice Squad, Seth Cartwright had unwanted company.

Tall, Dark, and Cajun by Sandra Hill (Warner Books, 2003)

Light and funny. A quick read. The phrase “Cajuns do IT better” comes to mind.

From Boardwalk With Love by Nina Bangs (Love Spell, 2003)

challenge_name: 

What can you say about a book whose heroine’s code name is 36DD? Hmmm…XD

Catching up!

I'm just now entering all the books I read from the end of February to right now. Boy, what a stack! Last time I let those things stack up again...had to pull some info off the web because some of the books I'd read were library books I've already returned!

Are You Made for Each Other? by Barbara and Allan Pease (Broadway, 2005)

challenge_name: 

Contains some interesting little quizzes that place you on the male/female trait continuum on things like driving and map reading.

Why Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps by Allan Pease (Broadway, 2001)

challenge_name: 

Another entertaining and informative (if slightly biased) read from Mr. Pease. Be wary of some of his assertions, however, as some have been proven false, e.g. that men in the “stone age” provided the majority of the food for social units (outdated; anthropologists now believe differently).

The Definitive Book of Body Language by Barbara and Allan Pease (Bantam, 2006)

challenge_name: 

An enlightening and entertaining look at how we use gestures, both conciously and unconciously, to communicate our true intent and feelings. Written with the layperson in mind. I highly recommend this book to everyone, especially those writers out there!

Santa Baby by Jennifer Crusie, Lori Foster and Carly Phillips (St. Martin's Press, 2006)

“Red-hot kisses. Secret wishes. A gift too scandalous to share…
