Picked up from sale rack at Moore Public Library.

From jacket flap: Minerva Dobbs knows how to work the odds. Calvin Morrisey always plays to win. But when fate deals the cards, neither one is prepared. Because when real life meets true love, all bets are off…

Minerva Dobbs knows that happily-ever-after is a fairy tale, especially with a man who asked her to dinner to win a bet, even if he is gorgeous Calvin Morrisey. Cal knows commitment is impossible, especially with a woman as cranky as Min Dobbs, even if she does wear great shoes and keep him on his toes. When they say good-bye at the end of their evening, they cut their losses and agree never to see each other again. But fate has other plans, and it’s not long before Min and Cal meet again. Soon they’re dealing with a jealous ex-boyfriend, Krispy Kreme doughnuts, a determined psychologist, chaos theory, a freakishly intelligent cat, Chicken Marsala, and more risky propositions than either of them ever dreamed of. Including the biggest gamble of all – true love.

Since my TBR pile is so huge, I’ve decided to take some of the books that are languishing there and offer them as book rings so that others may enjoy them before they come back to me!

Received today from casseytara. Thx!

Okay book. It is a different style. I enjoyed it though. The story jumps right into things and along the way gives the characters history as we go through the story. Funny but the story was a simple one that really did not need to go on for as long as it did. The emotions that were expressed, seemed to me, were rushed and appeared out of no where. All in all, I enjoyed the book and I would definetely read more from this author.

PMing to pass on to the next on the list.

Mailed today to hannahsc5.

I am just starting to read this and I am really liking it. Though the main female character leaves me a little perturbed and i have yet to understand why?

More as I get further along.

Done and mailed to next in ring October 12th 2004.

Either Morpha has not received the book, or she did and hasn't journalled it, but since she won't respond to my PMs I don't know which it is! At any rate, I'm taking this ring off my chart as officially stalled.
