Amazon.com's Best of 2001
Emotionally numb from her divorce 18 months earlier, Nell Dysart is about to waken with a vengeance. When she takes a job as office manager for McKenna Investigations, she's determined to reorganize, redecorate, and revamp the stuck-in-the-'50s surroundings, but she runs smack-dab into senior partner Gabe McKenna, the immovable object to her irresistible force. Gabe likes the dated ambiance just fine and doesn't want a thing changed, but he soon learns that nothing in his life is going to stay the same now that Nell has arrived.
Rough and gruff, but with a heart of gold, Gabe is just what Nell needs to jump-start her hormones. Nell's formerly dull life is suddenly wildly active, for not only is she lusting after Gabe (and vice versa), but there's also a case of embezzlement to uncover, a dog to steal, and bribery to investigate. And, oh yes, there are those very cold, very dead bodies in the freezer.

Fast Women has well-rounded characters, an interesting mystery to resolve, and author Jennifer Crusie's trademark humor. In addition, Crusie gives readers a little something extra in her exploration of the emotional stages of divorce, the viability of marriage, and the value of self-honesty--all of which add up to an excellent fictional tale layered with a thought-provoking look at contemporary culture.

Duplicate copy.

**NOTE: A PRIOR OWNER WROTE .75c IN BLACK FELT MARKER ON THE FRONT COVER, THE BOOK ITSELF IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION THOUGH.

Got this in the mail yesterday as part of a book relay. Thanks CdnBlueRose for sending it out! I've liked her other books so I'm sure I'll enjoy this one.

I've read a couple of Crusie's other books and enjoyed them, but I did not like this one nearly as much. It was about 200 pages before anything really interesting happened, then it all seemed to get resolved pretty quickly. I liked Faking It much better!
