Product Description
New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Crusie brings humor and storytelling magic to this modern-day romance of a match made anywhere but in heaven—but destined for a fairy-tale ending.
Daisy Flattery is a free spirit with a soft spot for strays and a weakness for a good story. Why else would she agree to the outrageous charade offered by her buttoned-down workaholic neighbor, Linc Blaise? The history professor needs to have a fiancée in order to capture his dream job, and Daisy is game to play the role. But something funny happens on their way to the altar that changes everything. Now, with the midnight hour approaching, will Daisy lose her prince, or will opposites not only attract but live happily ever after?

This is a reissue of a 1996 book of Crusies and as you would expect is as good as the others of that era ( for a chronological list of authors work try the Fantastic Fiction website particularly useful for series).
It is a funny, warm story of opposites attracting, a conservative, buttoned up history professor persuades a colourful warmhearted and slightly scatty artist to pretend to be his fiancee so he can get the job of his dreams. Its a shortish book (278 pages) like most of her earlier works were but it does not feel rushed or shallow, it just misses out on the development of other key characters which makes her later books more compelling.
In my opinion JC is one of the best chick lit authors around, if you like her books i can also recommend Julie Garwood and Susan Elizabeth Phillips, if you haven't tried her books before give this a go but her very best are Welcome to Temptation, Faking It and Fast Women.

Daisy Flattery is in a bit of a bind - her paintings aren't selling, she's just adopted another stray pet and she really needs a bit of money to pay her rent. That's the only reason she can think of to say yes to her uptight, straight-laced neighbour's crazy scheme.
Linc Blaise needs a fiancée in order to land his dream job and while free spirited Daisy may not be his ideal woman, she's perfect to play the role. But what happens when you start to enjoy your roles a little too much and when does it stop becoming fake and start becoming happily ever after?
This was a sweet, uncomplicated story that was first published in 1996 although it ages well and never feels dated. Both Linc and Daisy are interesting, well developed characters that are the furthest thing from stereotypical. They work well together, have good chemistry and develop well together, going from mutual dislike right through to love.
The story is fun, far fetched but still believable and really keeps you interested and keeps the pages turning. It's definitely a light and frothy book that's perfect for a quiet afternoon's read. It's not as witty or as sexy as some of her later books but it's still worth a read if you're looking for a bit of romance.

Yet again, Jennifer Crusie has come up trumps with a great story beautifully written. It's not War & Peace but it leaves you with a smile in your heart (and that's far more important!).

Not really her best.
I'm a longtime fan of Jennifer Crusie, and I have to say I was pretty disappointed with this story. The characters were more like caricatures - not remotely believable as people -... Read more
