Liz Danger has returned home after fifteen years to deliver a giant teddy bear for her mother’s birthday (Guilt Red) when a cop with a great ass picks her up for speeding, fixes the missing lug nuts on her back wheel, pulls her out of a ditch, doesn’t give her a ticket, and helps her avoid her family. This is a man with real potential. The rest of the day goes downhill, starting with her…

I know that I have waxed poetic about how much I love Jennifer Crusie.  Seriously, I think I own almost all of her books.  Even the early ones.  Most of them are physical books, and I’ve backed hose up with electronic version so that I can take them anywhere.

Her collaborations are also spot on (one of my favorites is Dogs and Goddesses – writing that down just makes me want to read it again), especially the ones with Bob Mayer – Don’t Look Down, Agnes and the Hitman, and Wild Ride, all wonderful.

Which brings me to this new series – Liz Danger.  And holy cow did I LOVE this book.  Immediately fell in love with it.  It’s another book that takes place in a little over a week, so you have to suspend a little bit of reality, but outside of that, these two writers remain absolutely awesome!  Vince has gone through quite a bit in his past – I ended up tearing up on a plane ride home, which was a little out of the ordinary.  Liz is a classic Crusie character, flawed, direct, and misunderstood.

This is going to have to be one of my favorite books of the year.  And yes, I know I’ve rated a bunch of books at 5/5 stars, but I don’t care.  There will have to be a better ranking system for Crusie books moving forward!

Also, I’ve started the second book in the series.  I did so less than an hour after finishing this one.

Yes, I’m obsessed.  And I don’t care who knows it!
