Product Description

From Amazon.com

Setting: Columbus, Ohio

Sensuality: 7

Mural artist Tilda Goodnight is struggling to pay off the mortgage on the family business and keep the Goodnight secrets safely hidden. Juggling her life gets even more complicated when she hides in Clea Lewis's closet and collides with sexy Davy Dempsey. Tilda is in Clea's bedroom to steal back a forged painting; Davy's there to steal Clea's account codes and retrieve the $3 million the larcenous blonde stole from him. Somehow, Tilda finds herself exchanging a mind-blowing kiss with her fellow burglar, and when Davy follows her home and rents a room from her mother, she's forced to deal with the charming con man. Everyone in Tilda's world is pretending to be someone else, including her daydreaming mother, her split-personality sister, and her cross-dressing ex-brother-in-law. All of them, including Tilda and Davy, are Faking It. What will happen when all the secrets are out and everyone knows the truth about everyone else? Will Davy recover his 3 million? Will Tilda recover all the forged paintings and find her true artistic calling? Will Tilda's mother run off to Aruba with a hit man named Ford? And exactly what is the difference between a man labeled a "doughnut" and one who deserves the title "muffin"?

Faking It is a hilarious, warm novel with a cast of quirky and wonderful characters that endear while they charm. Readers who met the Dempsey siblings in Crusie's Welcome To Temptation will be delighted to revisit the family and discover what happens to Davy Dempsey when he meets his romantic nemesis, Tilda Goodnight. --Lois Faye Dyer --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.



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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not faking this review, April 5 2004
It's wonderful when an author can make you laugh out loud and sometimes shed a tear. Somehow I found myself doing both of those things reading this book. She writes about passion and lust in a refreshing way (it doesn't always work) and I didn't have to skip that part to get back to the story because it was part of the story. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wickedly Wonderful Entertainment!, Mar 29 2004
By mshatler (Sacramento, CA) - See all my reviews
Tilda detests painting murals, fakes of Monet and Van Gogh, but it pays the family bills, and keeps their privacy - and this family has secrets up the ying yang. Through unfortunate, and certainly illegal circumstances, Tilda meets Davy when they simultaneously break into a neighbor's house, each for their own hidden purposes. They kiss in the neighbor's closet and their lives unravel from there. This story has double-identities, sex, hit men, crazy family, FBI, cons, forgeries, fakes and love!

Wow. To say that Crusie weaves a compelling story is a serious understatement. Faking It has laughter, tears, emotion, suspense and more laughter. Great beginning, great middle, great ending. May I say once again - WOW! If you haven't read this book already, pick it up now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Faking it., Mar 23 2004
By Dawn (East Wareham, Ma United States) - See all my reviews
This is the first book I've read by Jennifer Crusie and I absolutely loved it. It's smart and funny. "Faking It" is the kind of book you space your time out when reading and go back and reread for all the gems you missed the first time. Tilda and Davy have such great chemistry and are just hysterically funny.
