Publisher's summary

Sophie Dempsey wants to help her sister film a video and then get out of Temptation, Ohio. Mayor Phin Tucker wants to play pool with the police chief and keep things peaceful. But when Sophie and Phin meet, they both get more than they want. Gossip, blackmail, adultery, murder, vehicular abuse of a corpse, and slightly perverse but excellent sex: all hell breaks loose in Temptation as Sophie and Phin fall deeper and deeper in trouble, and in love.

Great book, better audiobook

I've always loved this book, and listening to it via audiobook was a great way to experience it for the first time again. Definitely recommended!

Jennifer Crusie is an autobuy

Any additional comments?

Interesting characters, snappy dialog, realistic dog.

If Jennifer Crusie can be said to have a formula this is it, fortunately it's a formula that I would buy over and over again. This book fulfils that formula and then some (you will never look at a water tower the same way again).

Not a perfect story but definitely a five star story

One of the books I re-listen to every so often.

Fun listen

This is my first listen for this Author. I felt the story was great, and I loved the wit. I would have given it 5 stars except I felt the author could have been a bit smoother in the conversational transition. It was a bit elementary in that after each statement she would put "Phin said" for example. Other than that tiny annoyance it was a fun story, unique and well read. I will purchase books from this author again.

Fun read

I just finish listen to Welcome to Temptation. I was a little hesitant to get the book when I saw the reviews about the narrator. The1st hours was a little difficult to listen to, Aasne Vigesaa seem to be in fast forward especially in the none speaking part ??? but after that she calmed down. This is my 2nd Jennifer Cruise books and I thoroughly enjoyed this book as much as Maybe This Time. I enjoyed the connection between Sophie and Phin ??? you knew right from the beginning they would stay together.

Just as good out loud as on the page!

I’ll admit, I’m already a big fan of Crusie, so I was SO glad when the audiobook proved as good as the novel. She writes such smart characters, snappy dialogue and believable plots and romantic entanglements. The narrator does a good job distinguishing between characters and has a pleasant voice, to boot. 10/10 would recommend!

Good fun

Good fun, the narrator spoke a little fast for me but not intolerably so. The different characters were easily distinguishable in the narrator's performance. Enjoyed the lively characters, snappy dialogue and small town setting.

The cross purposes of the characters creates a most entertaining plot. Very enjoyable! Couldn’t put it down

Decent fluffy read

I found this book through read suggestions and enjoyed it. It wasn't terribly deep, and was a quick 'read' (or listen in this case). If you want a quick book that you can get into, but doesn't require a lot of attention this is one :)

Loved it! Excellent chick lit!

Really enjoyed this book. It is light and frothy but not an insult to your intelligence. I like Jennifer Crusie's writing and stories. Will definitely listen to more of hers. Also liked the narrator a lot and highly recommend her as well.
