Customer Reviews

An Author to Watch!! FANTASTIC!!!

I had the pleasure of reading an ARC of this book before it was released and I absolutely loved it! There's humor, romance and mystery all wrapped up within the pages of this story! Buy it, you won't be disappointed! Laugh out loud scenes, great characters, fantastic!!

Loved it! Fun and sexy story about a cop trying to clear his name

This book was so much fun to read. It's a sizzling romantic comedy about a woman who's dog discovers an injured man in her backyard. He (Chase) is a cop that just escaped the bad guy, but who is also being framed as a bad guy. You know from page 1 who the bad guy really is, but its quite a mystery as to how they will prove it. Meanwhile, these two spend many days and hours confined together in her remote home near a lake, which creates a great deal of whitty dialog and steamy scenes as they go about trying to prove him innocent. There are a lot of secondary characters that were great. I really hope we see one or two spin off stories from this book, especially Jason's story. ;-) Fans of authors such as Rachel Gibson, (who like their stories funny but with depth to them), will love this book. This is NOT a fluff book or a book that is all about sex (which are becoming way too common!) This has a real strongly developed story that showcases a very interesting couple on the journey to falling in love. A yummy book, highly recommended!

Fast-paced, sexy fun

Take one sexually-frustrated, slightly kooky photographer dressing up her pets for a Christmas photo shoot (in February), add one injured, wrongly-accused, and ever-so-hunky cop-on-the-lam who takes her hostage, and throw in a bevy of wacky secondary characters, and you have Christie Craig's delightful DIVORCED, DESPERATE, AND DELICIOUS. This was a fun, fast-paced "cabin romance" with a bit of intrigue and a Texas-sized dollop of sexy humor. Highly recommended.

Hilarious

Best new book of the year. It's funny, romantic, and sexy. Did I mention funny? I honestly couldn't put it down. My Christmas shopping list just got shorter because everyone I know will want Divorced, Desperate, and Delicious. This new author better be writing fast because I want many more great stories from her.

May I recommend

MAY I RECOMMEND... By Cheri Jetton Christie Craig's debut novel with Dorchester, DIVORCED, DESPERATE & DELICIOUS, slated for release Nov. 27, 2007, is a winner. Lacy Maguire is soured on relationships. One broken engagement and one failed marriage would do that to any woman. (Not to mention her mother's track record of six divorces.) Lacy's career, friends and pets keep her busy you know. Who has time for dating, or kissing or any of that stuff? Who needs a man's arms around her, a man's warm breath in her ear, a man...ah, where were we? Oh, yeah. Who needs a man! So what to do with the hunk her dog has just found hiding behind the backyard shed? Wet, wounded and running, police detective Chase Kelly needs to lay low until he can nail the rouge cop who tried to kill him, but is this the place? The lady is a looker, but quirky. I mean, it's February and the house is filled with Christmas music, her ugly little dog is wearing antlers, and a cat's in a Santa suit! Is this a woman he can trust not to give him away? Christie's characters are warm and wonderful, and the plot intriguing. Her skillful humor carries us through even the more improbable scenes - imagine family, friends, good guys and bad guys all crowding into Lacy's small home at the same time! Christie makes it work. When you've finished reading this one, you'll haunt your favorite bookstore for the next book in her line up.
