Bet Me - Kepler's Staff Review

 

Meet Minerva Dobbs (call her Min) and Calvin Morrisey (call him Cal), two successful business people about to be brought together by Elvis (Costello and Presley), chaos theory, and fabulous shoes.

Min is newly dumped and bitter, "If I can find the reincarnation of Elvis, I’ll date again. Until then I’m taking a break from inter-gender socialization." Cal is a love ‘em and leave ‘em guy. You may think you’ve read these characters before - she’s a little frumpy (aside from the shoes, that is), he’s gorgeous and charming - but in the hands of Jennifer Crusie even stock characters come alive. The banter between Min and Cal is lively and funny, and while plus-sized Min goes through a transformation it’s not the one you might think. Unlike many romances, which would have you believe that the heroine has nothing in her life but work and the hero, Crusie has populated the story with a wonderful cast of friends and family, one evil cat, and a set of exes with a little bet . . . . Bet Me is a fun, sexy, and above all interesting romance!
