Representaion To Books Manhunting
A timeless tale from the first name in romantic comedy - Jennifer Crusie!OBJECTIVE: Find Man
Must be Rich, Handsome, and Successful
Kate Svenson is attractive, successful, a brilliant businesswoman - and miserable. After three failed engagements, she realises it's time for a PLAN...and organised, detailed agenda with a clear goal: finding Mr. Right.
The Cabins resort is ripe with eligible bachelors, all rich, distinguished and ambitious - just her type. And they're dropping like flies around her...at least, that's how Jake Templeton views the situation. After he's stuck pulling her latest reject out of the swimming pool, Jake's convinced this femme fatale is trouble. Especially for him.
But can a man who's sworn off ambition for good and a woman hanging from the top of the corporate ladder find common ground in the unpredictable territory called the heart, where the word proposal takes on a very different meaning...?

Another funny romance by Jennifer Crusie.Every one of my favourite contemporary romance authors has her (yes, they are all women) own mark. In Crusie's novel, that are witty, hilarious scenes and dialogues. Her love stories are a bit fast, I mean, the main characters often decide to get married (have their HEA) after a few days. But that doesn't matter, because her books are extremely amusing and that is the point.Besides the humour I like that Jennifer Crusie often picks some more seriousThis book was hilarious! It is so hard to write a good romantic comedy. This is the first book I've read by this author and checked it out simply because I wanted to read a pink book. Usually I read books where there is a really good romance but not much of a plot, or a really good plot without much of a romance. I felt like this book had both. There were some major steamy scenes, so watch out, but this was one of the funniest books I've ever read.
Another fun read from Crusie. It turns out this is actually her first book, reprinted with a much less embarrassing cover (poor Jennifer), and it shows, a little. Not her strongest novel, but fun and silly, and the hero has a mustache. Thought that was worth mentioning. Oh, and someone gets stabbed with a fork! I lol'd, as it were.She really is good at banter. These characters can go back and forth with the best of them, and I have a huge weakness for solid banter.
Chick lit category. My first reaction: But this one? It wasn't so bad. Don't get me wrong, it did have those moments where I was all, kicking you to the curb (what is with me and kicking these days? It's like all I wanna do.)NOTE: read this as part of New Years challenge in the Unapologetic Romance reading group. Chick lit category.Setting / Time / Genre: Current or rather more like early turn of the century. This century though.Series: I do not believe it isSexy times: Yes. But something like a
Manhunting is a five star read if there ever was one. If you're feeling blah and want a good laugh - along with a wonderful romance - you can't get better than this!Kate Svensen is thirty-five, gorgeous and has a successful career. She's the kind of heroine we all love to hate. But wait a minute this is a Crusie heroine after all and not your standard perfectly coifed heroine. Not at all. Kate may be more successful than most of us ever dream of becoming but she's also insecure and more than a
4.5* This book was so much fun! I loved every minute of it. The characters (all of them) were well done, the writing was hilarious without being slap-stick, and the dialog was sharp and witty. I only wish it was twice as long! Crusie is sort of hit-and-miss with me, I loved Bet Me, and enjoyed Anyone But You. However, I didn't care for parts of Fast Women (too cynical about marriage) and I have attempted and not finished Welcome to Temptation twice. After reading Manhunting, I'll definitely be
Cute, fluffy, and predictable, this is very definitely early Crusie. While it is rather clichéd, and the writing is not technically strongand I'm sorry, but I don't think I'll ever find a man with a moustache attractivethere is still enough spark in the banter and creativity in the humour to make it more than just a run-of-the-mill Harlequin romance novel. It passed an enjoyable hour or so in work, and if you like Crusie or romance novels in general, you'll probably enjoy thisjust don't pick it
