Charlie is all right,

This review is from: Charlie All Night (Mass Market Paperback)
This is my first Crusie and perhaps I went in with too high of expectations. I have seen a lot of people raving about her books. I did enjoy Charlie All Night. Allie was a great character and the way the relationship develops between herself and Charlie is interesting. The "on air" sparring was entertaining and left me wishing they were on the airways where I live. There were loads of interesting (read quirky) characters that I would have liked to get to know better. I loved Allie's roommate Joe - does anyone know if he gets his own story? I think this might be the first romance I have read that had a moral to the story that was broached in way that wasn't preachy but it conveys the message. I will be trying another Crusie, sometimes it is not the book it is the reader and this might be one of those times.

Classic Crusie,
By Tanya V. "Bookwyrm" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Charlie all night (Paperback)
Plot Synopsis: Dumped by her boyfriend and dropped from WBBB's prime time, radio producer Allie McGuffey had nowhere to go but up. She planned to make temporary DJ Charlie Tenniel a household name -- despite his objections. Footloose Charlie shunned fame. He wanted to kick back, play good tunes, and make love to Allie -- despite her objections.Throw in a little mystery, a lot of meddling townspeople, a little work sabotage ... and Allie and Charlie are hooked. When you read older works by many authors, you can clearly see their development as authors -- their early works pale in comparison to their newer stuff. Crusie is an exception. Her older titles are delightful, full of sparkling wit and wonderful characters. "Charlie All Night" contains all the great Crusie elements -- two sensational characters drawn together despite themselves, great witty banter, and marvelous and -original- sensual writing. Throw in some meddling secondary characters and a cute puppy who only drinks his milk to Billy Joel, and you have a hoot of a story. 29 of 31 people found the following review helpful

Hot, Funny and Entertaining,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Charlie all night (Paperback)
Loved it! Allie's a radio producer, Charlie is her new DJ. She's determined to make him a star and he's determined to keep a low profile. It doesn't help anything that they are living together (as platonic roommates, which lasts for about 10 minutes) after the first chapter. The interaction between the two main characters is witty and funny; the subplots are not at all rote; and unlike many category romances, there is a large-ish supporting cast who adds to the mayhem. And kudos to Jennifer for including a gay character--the first in a category romance that I've seen.

Very strong and surprisingly complex romance,
By booksforabuck "BooksForABuck" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Charlie All Night (Mass Market Paperback)
When her ex-boyfriend hires his girlfriend to produce his morning radio show (taking Allie McGuffey's job), Allie decides to pick someone up at the bar. She needs a fling to get Mark's memory out of her system. But she picks Charlie--the man who is just starting a late-night show she's going to be producing and a man who flees from even the first hint of success. Sure the sex might be great, but Allie has big dreams--and Charlie is the kind of man who hates just about everything she stands for.Chemistry only carries them so far. But when Charlie's show starts to take off, Allie redoubles her efforts to make him a star. Charlie has other plans--and other goals. He's been hired to investigate rumors that there's something strange going on at the radio station. Once he figures out the truth, he's so gone. Even if he will miss Allie. Author Jennifer Crusie broke into the category romance market a decade ago and single-handedly created a demand for funny romance books--a demand that publishers have tried and mostly failed to capitalize on. CHARLIE ALL NIGHT shows both the appeal of Crusie's writing, and why so few people have been able to follow her example. Despite its short length (CHARLIE was originally written for the Harlequin Temptation line), the book manages to combine sexual attraction, a rejection of a relationship based wholly on sex, a hint of mystery, some rather sophisticated thinking on law and justice, a strong argument in favor of drug decriminalization, and a gay secondary character (remember, CHARLIE was originally published in 1996--this was not done back then). Crusie stirs these elements together into a well integrated story, and writes well enough that I had to tear myself away from the book to get to bed last night. CHARLIE ALL NIGHT is a great example of why Crusie became such a star--and definitely highly recommended. |
