Tess’s main issue with him is that he’s too ambitious. Luckily, Gina gets a great scene of calling Tess on her shit. I’m all for living in the way you prefer and not hiding your lifestyle, but people who try to shove their way of living onto others because it is the only way to really live and be a good person annoy me. She’s that friend who tries to make you guilty for ever eyeing a cow, much less eating and wearing it. She is utterly intolerant of other people’s points of view. Unfortunately, Tess was the weakest part of the story.

Tess and Nick have conflicting sensibilities and desires, but an undeniable attraction to the other. Then Tess gets further involved with Nick’s life when her best friend, retiring dancer Gina, begins to date and falls for Nick’s best friend, playboy lawyer Park. (Why they broke up is a bit of a headbanger.) Nick is about to land an important client, and it matters to him who Nick is dating. Together, they pretend to be affianced even though they broke up. Nick is the lawyer determined to make partner. I can say this after finishing Strange Bedpersons: Crusie earned her reputation. (I’ve even seen her on my mother’s shelf.) I figure it’s all right then, as there are probably a number of readers like me who are new to the romance genre and pick up a big name completely clueless as to whether it is new or a reprint.

I picked up this Jennifer Crusie because I know she’s a favorite of many.

I’m supposed to focus on new releases, not reprints. Liviania’s review of Strange Bedpersons by Jennifer Crusie
