2003 St. Martin's mass-market paperback bought at the Goodwill thrift store in Middletown, Connecticut, USA. I've never read a Jennifer Crusie book I didn't like, including this one! And it was fun reading about some of the characters from Welcome to Temptation from Davy's perspective.

From Publishers Weekly
Bestseller Crusie (Fast Women, etc.) takes readers on another smooth ride in her latest romantic caper. At the wheel this time is fab art forger Matilda Goodnight, whose chance encounter in a closet with cute con man/thief Davy Dempsey leads to madcap mayhem and breathless romance. He's trying to steal back the money he filched from Clea Lewis, ex-girlfriend (and possible husband killer), who had taken it right back. Tilda just wants her last "Scarlet" painting, which Clea has bought to impress Mason Phipps, her rich art-obsessed beau. It's the last of six forgeries Tilda did for Tony, her now deceased gallery-owner dad, and Tilda is determined to preserve her newly squeaky-clean reputation. Confused yet? It gets wackier, because the whole Goodnight clan and supporting cast are as enormously engaging as the loopy plot. There's Tilda's mother, Gwen; her sister, Eve/Louise, a split-personality teacher/diva; her gay ex-brother-in-law, Andrew; and her precocious teenage niece, Nadine. Add a host of shady characters and would-be hitmen, and the breezy plot thickens and puffs up like the light airy doughnuts all Goodnight women are attracted to but eventually forsake for muffins: "Muffins are for the long haul and they always taste good. They don't have that oh-my-God-I-have-to-have-that thing that the doughnuts have going for them, but you still want them the next morning." Finally, defying all odds, Crusie answers the burning questions she poses--can liars and thieves fall in love, live happily ever after and stay out of jail?--while confirming the dangers of dating doughnuts.

From Library Journal
First introduced in Welcome to Temptation, the brother of wacky filmmaker sisters Sophie and Amy Dempsey gets his own story with hilarious and entertaining results. Davy Dempsey is a man on a mission: to recover some money owed him. In a hilarious botched burglary, he ends up stuck in a closet with Matilda Goodnight. She's at the same house attempting to steal back a painting that was not only never paid for but already has a shady past. Later, Davy rents a room from Matilda's mother, and soon he and Matilda are working together to recover their property and trying mighty hard to resist their growing attraction to each other. It doesn't take much for readers to figure out that Davy and Matilda are fated to live happily ever after. What makes the novel work is Crusie's talent for writing wacky romantic plots that shine with generous amounts of humor and enormous good cheer. Her usual assortment of secondary characters is here, along with a couple of loose ends that might give fans a chance to revisit this clan of entertaining souls once again.

RABCK to TracyShannon at an AE address in Wiesbaden, Hessen, Germany, to restart her bookray (which stalled with the same person who stalled my chicklit bookbox).

Yesterday I picked up this copy at my Post Office. Happy St. Patrick's Day to me! *grin* I love your journal entry pictures. Thank you so much for this RABCK to restart my bookray. :)

Here is the list of participants who did not get to read my copy before it stalled:

Received aussieQ8's mailing address today just as I was getting ready to go to the Post Office. What timing!

Arrived a few days ago.And for whatever reason they treated it as a BIG package!!!! So, I had to go a really long way to get it.(well it wasnt me it was my poor husband!)But hey anything for a book right? :) I have another ring to finish fist, but I promise to get to it straight away. Thanks.

Update: Fabulous! Very entertaining and well worth the wait! Thanks Tracy. :) Waiting for address then it's on it's way.

Received today. I've been hibernating from Bookcrossing for almost a year. Its a pleasure to have "Faking It", to awaken me up.

This book has washed ashore at the Lost Book Island after not being heard from for many months. This new arrival will be shown to a room and be allowed a bit of rest before being introduced to the many fun things to do here at the island.

All around there are books sipping cool drinks under shady palms while other books participate in a wide variety of beach sports. There is plenty of sand, surf and sun here for all of the lost and wayward books to enjoy.

It is hoped that very soon a new journal entry will come to rescue this book from the island and send it back out into the BookCrossing world so that it may continue on its journey. It is hoped that the new journal entry will tell all the interested parties where this book has been this long time and where it will be traveling to next.
