Because when real life meets true love, all bets are off. . . .
Minerva Dobbs knows that happily-ever-after is a fairy tale, especially with a man who asked her to dinner to win a bet, even if he is gorgeous and successful Calvin Morrisey. Cal knows commitment is impossible, especially with a woman as cranky as Min Dobbs, even if she does wear great shoes and keep him on his toes. When they say good-bye at the end of their evening, they cut their losses and agree never to see each other again.
But fate has other plans, and it’s not long before Min and Cal meet again. Soon they’re dealing with a jealous ex-boyfriend, Krispy Kreme doughnuts, a determined psychologist, chaos theory, a freakishly intelligent cat, Chicken Marsala, and more risky propositions than either of them ever dreamed of. Including the biggest gamble of all—true love.

This book is one of my favorites. The characters have great chemistry. Its funny and romantic. And has Chicken Marsala!
This is such a wonderful, sweet romance! One of my favorite books of all time!
I loved this book and have read it a couple of times. The friendship aspect is great and every woman that has a support group of of friends will identify with them. I liked the scene where she confronts the parents at dinner. Such good writing!
Love this author
This is by far my favorite Jennifer Crusie book. The characters are smart and funny, story is great. I’ve re-read it a million times!
Jennifer Crusie had a lot of books on my bookshelf her stories are witty and unpredictable and I wish she would continue writing stories but I haven’t seen anything new from her, but all her books are timeless. And if you haven’t read one of her funny adventures books with her groups of odd characters and delightful stories. then I highly recommend you seek them out. My favorite is “Agnes and the Hitman she co-wort with Bob Mayer.
Crusie is wonderful!
So enjoy this author. It’s a “pick me up” book that never lets you down!
Can’t beat a man who dress you!
This book was great. Minerva is a realist about her looks and is fairly content with her life until Calvin. Although he takes her to dinner to win a bet, he quickly realizes that her quirky personality is addicting. Minerva can’t believe that someone as handsome and successful as Calvin can be attracted to her. Reading about how these two fall in love is entertaining and heart warming.
Love all her books!
I love this book. I re-read it about every 6 months.
Cute – easy read that feels good.
This was the first book of hers that I read, it’s one of the funniest books that I have had the pleasure of reading. I’ve read a lot of her work since but this one is special. Susan Elizabeth Phillips is the only other author that comes close to being as funny.
Jennifer Crusie always makes me laugh out loud as I read her hilarious stories!
Typical Crusie – funny and quirky. Very entertaining.
My favorite Jennifer Crusie book. I have read it multiple times.

Love this book, my fave Crusie characters and story!
