Product Description:
Part basset, part beagle, all Cupid . . .
For Nina Askew, turning forty means freedom -- from the ex-husband, freedom from their stuffy suburban home, freedom to focus on what she wants for a change. And what she wants is something her ex always vetoed -- a puppy. A bouncy, adorable puppy. Instead she gets . . . Fred.
Overweight, middle-aged, a bit smelly and obviously depressed, Fred is light-years from perky. But he does manage to put Nina in the path of Alex Moore, her gorgeous, younger-by-a-decade neighbor.
Alex seems perfect -- he's a sexy, seemingly sane, surprisingly single E.R. doctor -- but the age gap convinces Nina that anyone but Alex would be better relationship material. But with every silver-haired stiff she dates, the more she suspects it's the young, dog-loving doc she wants to sit and stay.

Classic Jennifer Crusie - two unlikely characters living right above/below each other. Fred the dog is a riot, and the perfect "extra" character. I love the "slightly oler woman"/younger man concept - a woman not so confident in her appearance, and the guy who disagrees, thinks she's hot just like she is!
As usual while listening to Jennifer's books, I frequently laughed out loud, and replayed a few lines to be sure I heard what I thought I heard!

My very first Jennifer Cruise book and I loved it. I found the audio version available at my local libary and decided to check it out. I really it less than a day finding it hard to turn off. A really nice story about a 40 year old newly divorcee, Nina looking to live a simplier life instead of the corporate life she had with her successful husband.
She meets her neighbor Alex, a 30 year old doctor, who isn't so much into long term relationships. Both are almost instantly attracted to eachother, but have issues with the age difference. Nina feeling that she isnt' attractive enough and Alex feeling like he isn't successful enough (like her ex-husband).
Great supporting characters included Alex's older brother Max, and Nina's best friend Charity and the dog Nina adopted, Fred. I never saw a pet be such a central character to a book, but Fred is a fabulous add.
The book has lots of humor, a few steamy scenes, but also presents a lovely story about a couple and working through their fears. A nice light read and I will be definetly checking out more books by this author.
