Book summary

Davy Dempsey is, to put it mildly, a con artist. When he breaks into an old girlfriend's place to steal some cash, he encounters the woman who may be his soul mate: Tilda Goodnight, a painter who is there to steal back one of her embarrassing early works. As Davy gets involved with not only Tilda but her charmingly eccentric family, he finds himself in the midst of a bigger, crazier scam than he ever bargained for. And all this happens in Columbus, Ohio!

Media reviews

"A raunchy, romantic comedy....Crusie avoids the pitfall of portraying [her characters] as too impossibly cute or sweet: the sense of real human frailty in all her characters makes even the villains oddly endearing....Perfect escapist fare...."

  "This book takes place in the current time period but reminds me of the old black & white movies with the witty remarks,it actually quotes old movies. I love the characters and can relate to most of them, they make you want to visit them and stay for awhile. It is a fun book that I've read at least four times and I bought the audio book which I absolutely love."
