Prepare to be absolutely charmed by Jennifer Crusie's riotous tale of two slightly twisted sisters and a town chock-full of hunks, coots and petty politics in Welcome to Temptation.Sophie and Amy Dempsey are just two wedding filmers trying to hop to the next level of their careers when they agree to produce a documentary of ageing film star Clea Whipple's return to her hometown of Temptation, Ohio. And when the local mayor, Phin Tucker, and the police chief, Wes Mazur, proffer themselves as willing subjects for quick flings, Sophie and Amy aren't the type to object. But things are never easy in rural Ohio, and what starts off as an esoteric art film project soon evolves into potential porn--and that's just the relationships, let alone the documentary. Clea's husband Zane turns belly-up, the race for mayor turns dirty and Sophie and Phin turn on the heat full steam.With hot sex, clever characters and Crusie's trademark wit, Welcome to Temptation will keep your eyes glued to the page and your stomach aching with laughter. --Nancy R.E. O'Brien

I re-discovered Jennifer Crusie for me - and this one was a very good one of hers! The banter, the atmosphere, the characters - main and side - it all made for a hilarious and enjoyable read. I really did Phineas - he was yummy. And Sophie was so relatable. I was rooting for them.
30% and still nothing is really happening. Sophie is an uptight little twat, Phin is a cardboard cutout of a Ken doll, Amy is selfish and awful, Clea is a lying slut, Liz is a greedy snob, Stephen is a power-hungry Nazi, Virginia is a fuckin' nutbag, Rachel is a boring doormat, Zane in a shady used ...
