As it should be, you prude, some of you are saying. And I agree. Hump Day has a warm place in my heart, and other unmentionables, but I certainly bit off a lot to chew with weekly romance book reviews. Alas, I will stick to my guns and follow through.
This week's book is written by a Goodreads Author (if you do not know what Goodreads is, you are totally out of the popular reader's circle...it is the online mecca for book reviews, recommendations, and sometimes free borrowing). Jennifer Crusie's Bet Me is the definition of chick-lit before 50 Shades came on the scene, and has all the humor, sexual tension, and junk food references a girl needs.
The story details the meeting and eventual relationship of Minerva and Cal, who seem anything but destined for one another at the beginning. He appears to have taken her on a date to fulfill the debt of a lost bet, and by the end of said date she is resigned to never see Cal again. Unfortunately, good old fate steps in as it does in every romance novel, and he shakes things up royally.
You can read the rest to see what happens. Just bring a couple Krispy Kremes with you before settling into your recliner. It should help you identify with the character more, right?
