Editorial Review:
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 aging 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
Turn left at small town secrets...Sophie Dempsey is content living a quiet life filming wedding videos until an assignment brings her to Temptation, Ohio. From the moment she drive into town, she gets a bad feeling; Sophie is from the wrong side of the tracks and everything in Temptation is a little too right. And when she has a run-in with the town's unnervingly sexy mayor, Phineas Tucker, making a little movie turns out to be more than a little dangerous.Yield to oncoming desire...All Sophie wants to do is film the video and head home. All Phin wants to do is play pool with the police chief and keep things peaceful. They both get more than they bargained for when Sophie's video causes an uproar and the proper citizens of Temptation set out to shut them down.Welcome to temptation...As event spiral out of control, Sophie and Phin find themselves caught in a web of gossip, blackmail, adultery, murder, and really excellent sex. All hell breaks loose in Temptation as Sophie and Phin fall deeper and deeper in trouble...and in love.

Rating:  - I'm in the minority.....
After getting my first review of this book rejected by Amazon because it made "judgements" on the authors intent, I'm going to attempt to scale this one down in attempts to review this book that I spent hours reading.
I realize that this book is very popular and well received by a great many. That however, is not enough to make me recommend this book. I am not critical by nature, (see my other reviews), but I do like to "call a spade a spade"!
This is a story about the ... Read More
Rating:  - Wonderful Story... As Usual
I love this book. In fact, thus far, I have liked all the books she has written herself.
Rating:  - Eh, not my favorite Crusie book
This book was a real struggle for me to finish. If I hadn't been having it read to me via audibook I don't honestly think I would've stuck it out. Until now I've enjoyed all of the Crusie books I've read but this one just didn't resonate with me. It's about a pair of sisters who visit the town of Temptation to shoot a documovie on a fading movie star (at least that's what I got out of it). They've always been outsiders and were raised by a con man so and though they're harmless enough they rather ... Read More
Rating: - LOVED it!
This was the 2nd book I've read by Crusie, and I couldn't put it down. There are several laugh-out-loud moments, (my husband and daughter just looked at me funny)and the story just wrapped me in. Loved Sophie and Phin!!!! It's a very good beach read. Enjoy!
Rating: - Could totally relate to Sophie!
Loved the main character Sophie - her quick wit and her snarky comebacks! However, even with her hard exterior, she was sensitive and caring on the inside. Sophie and Phin were amazing together and I loved reading their scenes together. The book has great supporting characters too (love Davy!!).
It's definitely not a book for those that are faint of heart or prudish in any way. Very, very hot sex scenes and the "F" word is used quite frequently. So if either of those turn you ... Read More
