Crusie, Jennifer - Charlie All Night

Jan 28, 2005 21:20

Allie McGuffey has been dumped by her boyfriend, who also happens to be the radio personality she helped make into a star. Enter Charlie Tenniel, who is in the radio business only as a favor to his father, a bad pickup line at a bar, and really good sex, and voila!

I, er, don't actually remember too much of this book, and I'm not sure if it's because I've read too many Crusies and this one doesn't particularly stand out, or because I read it while feeling desperately homesick and missing my sister, as well as being extremely short on sleep. I actually skimmed thorugh all the sex sections because I was too tired to read them. From what I remember, it's not bad sex writing (as opposed to bad sex, which it also isn't, but which can also be extremely amusing to read), and there were some bits on the heroine liking the top and enjoying the control that stood out.

I felt like Crusie could have lightened up a bit on the battle of the sexes on the air section, but luckily even then she doesn't hammer the point too hard.

Other than that, I'm not quite sure what to say. It's Jennifer Crusie, and as such, it is worth reading. I didn't like it as much as I've liked some of her other books, but then again, Crusie is in a class by herself in the romance genre.
