Manhunting

Jennifer Crusie

4.18

Kate Svenson may be a dynamite businesswoman--but after three failed engagements, she's decided she's hopeless at romance. What she needs is a Business Plan to help her find Mr. Right.

The Cabins resort is ripe with eligible bachelors, all rich and ambitious--just her type. But they're dropping like flies, and after fishing Kate's latest reject out of the swimming pool Jake Templeton is convinced that Kate is nothing but trouble. Especially for him.

A man who's sworn off ambition and a woman hanging from the top of the corporate ladder don't have much in common. But in that unpredictable territory known as the heart, anything can happen...

    August 2012 Jennifer Crusie books are typical romance chick-lit. It was textbook heroine meets hero. They are apples and oranges but great together. I liked this storyline. The author just stretched it out too much and even made some parts ridiculous. So in all, I think this is just an ok read. This book was a Overdrive.com ebook library loan. I would maybe buy a used paperback version of this, but not the ebook price. Heroine with ticking biological clock wants a rich hero that will let her keep working (she's rich too). Kate Svenson's character is sometimes annoying. At keast she acknowledges these faults and tries to fix them. The hero - Jake Templeton, is your typical care-free and anti-relationship kind of guy. I liked him as that character. The thing is that once he starts seeing Kate he becomes a little possessive. The interactions between the two is cute and pleasant to read. All in all this was a descent romance to read if you're in-between better fiction literature books
