What the Lady Wants is a light romance, cute with some funny moments. The hero is a private detective who helps his client Mae solve a murder, find a diary and fall in love.
I am on a bit of a Jennifer Crusie kick right now. I read a couple of hers and enjoyed them enough to look for more. I found this one at the library. It’s the lightest of the three I’ve read so far, all fluff. Cute fluff, funny fluff, but fluff. I prefer books that have a little bit of meat to them. This a Harlequin romance, so we’re not looking at War and Peace, but…
It’s cute and a very fast read; at 155 pages we’re talking an early evening. There are some explicit sex scenes (it is a Harlequin after all) and some good dialogue.
Three stars.
Here are my reviews of her previous books.
