What this book is about

Sophie Dempsey arrives in Temptation, Ohio with her sister to film a video — a project that turns out to be considerably sleazier than advertised. Phin Tucker is the mayor, a pool-playing cynic from old money who should absolutely not be attracted to the chaos Sophie trails with her. Jennifer Crusie's romantic comedy is witty, warm, and very funny — a classic of the genre with sharp dialogue and a delightful cast of small-town characters.
