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! A Jennifer Crusie classic.

Would you listen to Welcome to Temptation again? Why?

Yes.. It was very entertaining.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed and hoped that all would work out well in the end.

Oooooooo!!! Yea!!!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Absolutely, I would recommend this book. Campy good fun with entertaining and dynamic characters.

What other book might you compare Welcome to Temptation to and why?

Wish I knew....... I'd go read them.

What about Aasne Vigesaa’s performance did you like?

The only thing I found disappointing at all is that she hasn't narrated MORE books. It's hard to adjust to a different reader when trying to listen to another Crusie book, because Vigesaa really seemed to capture the comic tone and created the perfect little nuances of the different characters. She pulled off all of male characters without making them sound like a bunch of sappy dopes.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I immediately went and found the sequel, FAKING IT, and loved the crap out of that one, too.

Any additional comments?

I started Crusie with these two books. I'll be crushed if it's all downhill from here. I've hated that these books are now a "known" to me, and won't be a fabulous new discovery until the dementia really sets in.

One of my favorite audio books

This is one my favorite audio books. Most romance novels have terrible narration, I find myself picking books as much for the narrator as I do the story or author. The narrator nails this story, gets the edginess and humor of the characters. It's funny and sexy story and the characters are rich and three dimensional. If only most audio books could deliver this kind of storytelling. I have listened to this book more than once and it enjoy it every time
.

Another great Jennifer Cruise book

What other book might you compare Welcome to Temptation to and why?

I love the characters and witty dialogue in Jennifer Cruise's books. This book keeps you entertained and laughing while also being very sweet. I did like Bet Me better though.

Temptation is fun

Where does Welcome to Temptation rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Oh, it's about the same as most of the others.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Welcome to Temptation?

I just crack up every time I think of the different paint jobs on the water tower.

Any additional comments?

Welcome To Temptation is one of my favorite Jennifer Crusie books, so when I was between novels and wanted to listen to something fun and easy I picked it up--I have been enjoying listening to the Audible versions of all of her novels.

LOVED finished in less than 24 hours!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

DUH

What did you like best about this story?

I loved everything about the book, but I am a lover of chick lit :)

Have you listened to any of Aasne Vigesaa’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

Very Tempting

Any additional comments?

I am not a big fan of Jennifer Crusie, however I liked this book. I enjoyed the relationship between Phin and Sophie. The narration was good. That pretty much sums it up!

Love this books!!

as always a. winner just wish she would wtite more don't know why she stopped but it stinks!

Ms Crusie NEEDS to start writing again!!!🙏🙏🙏

I have been an avid audiobook listener for a decade and there just isn't anyone like Jennifer Crusie. The quirky yet caring characters that are in extraordinary situations in an ordinary setting - it just draws you in and settle down for a very fun ride. Welcome to Temptation is one such book. And kudos MUST be given to the narrator who has done such an outstanding job of bringing each different character vividly to life.
