Take one food writer named Cranky Agnes, add a hitman named Shane, mix them together with a Southern mob wedding, a missing necklace, two annoyed flamingos, and a dog named Rhett, and you've got a recipe for a sexy, hilarious novel about the disastrous side of true love....Agnes Crandall's life goes awry when a dognapper invades her kitchen one night, seriously hampering her attempts to put on a wedding that she's staked her entire net worth on. Then a hero climbs through her bedroom window. His name is Shane--no last name, just Shane--and he has his own problems: He's got a big hit scheduled, a rival trying to take him out, and an ex-mobster uncle asking him to protect some little kid named Agnes. When he finds out that Agnes isn't so little, that his uncle has forgotten to mention a missing five million bucks he might have lost in Agnes's house, and that his last hit was a miss, Shane's life isn't looking so good, either. Then a bunch of lowlifes come looking for the money, a string of hitmen show up for Agnes, and some wedding guests gather with the intent to throw more than rice. Agnes and Shane have their hands full with greed, florists, treachery, flamingos, mayhem, mothers of the bride, and--most dangerous of all--each other.… (mehr)
emania: It's the same kind of feel about the relationship between the couple and both female leads are sassy and smart and independent and both male leads are sharp and the banter between them is fantastic. Also, the secondary characters in both novels are well developed and fleshed out and both novels have good underlying plots other than just to get the main characters in the sack together.
Also, and probably most importantly for me, they both made me laugh so hard I cried while reading them while keeping me in touch with the characters as people.… (mehr)
Hilarious! I enjoyed listening to the book on cd. The main character, Agnes is warm and just a little bit crazy. Combines good cooking, the mob, and a big time wedding. There are lots of twists and turns, but the characters are all so enjoyable. ( )
Another fun collaboration from these two with a plot that barely pauses combining romance, comedy, mystery and thriller. Possibly the (flamingo)wedding from hell for most, but hilarious for anyone only attending. There’s also plenty of non-graphic murder and mayhem. Took me a while to read owing to an injury, not a lack of interest. I couldn’t help picturing the hitman as a Seeley Booth type (from Bones). ( )
I think the Crusie/Mayer partnership is starting to hit its stride. I really liked this book, and I felt it held together better than Don't Look Down. Great characters, interesting plotline. There was a fairly unbelievable body count, but atill highly entertaining. ( )
Ok, Crusie has redeemed herself with this one. Agnes likes to cook and sing along with the Dixie Chicks. She has a habit of using her frying pan to defend herself. Along comes an old Mob treasure and Agnes is in the middle. Uncle Joey sends his nephew, hitman Shane, to protect Agnes. By book’s end, Agnes’s B&B is safe and sound and full of wonderful characters, including a goofy dog. ( )
