Did not like this at all. This was the first book I did not enjoy reading from Jennifer Crusie and I have read 19 of her books. Must be because of the other two authors who wrote it with her. :(

The story of three modern day women who find out quite suddenly that they are demi-goddesses and servents of the Goddess Kammani - and the men that they fall in love with along the way. :)
I liked the book - but honestly I confused Abbey and Daisy all the time - which made me have a hard time keeping there men straight. Maybe this is why I liked Shar so much. She was distinguishable!

Another light summer romance from Jennifer Crusie, this time writing with Anne Stuart and Lani Diane Rich. While this one has dogs (there is always at least one dog in a Jenny Crusie book), it also manages to throw in a lot of fantasy, as three strangers find out that they are the direct descendants of some pretty powerful Mesopotamian types and therefore actually demi-goddesses themselves. Throw in some romantic foils for them, an evil goddess from whom they must protect the planet (too bad that her would be minion isn't as bright as all that) and this makes for a nice beach read.

I can't decide what is worse. That of all the books on my to read shelf I picked this or that I really enjoyed it.

Jennifer Crusie is always good, but here, she's held back by two other authors that don't mean much to me. Fun beach read, but forgettable.

Well, I think the premise was good and the sex scenes great but the writing wasn't stellar. Which was kind of shocking since all three of these women are great writers. I think it just took them a while to write in sync. The second novel they wrote together "The Unfortunate Miss Fortunes" is much better in my opinion with a more cohesive feel in general. I really liked the plot for this one though, but I think that may just have been because I'm a mythology geek :) I also liked how they used an older woman as one of the main characters. I thought that was a good call.

I love Jennifer Crusie's writing normally but whew - this one was messy.
