Trust Me on This / Jennifer Crusie / 291 pages

January reading...Okay, it's a romance with all the usual romantic elements. Dennie is a girl reporter who stops playing it safe and decides to leap off the cliff to jumpstart a real career in journalism. Alec is a government agent trying to set up and arrest a legendary swindler. As in all romances, the happy couple ride off into the sunset after they discover they should listen to those magnetic twinges and disregard what their heads are telling them. At least it has some older women characters who seem pretty plucky. If you need some mindless reading, then go for it.
