Finished Book #25

I just finished my first, and most likely last, trashy romance novel. It was Welcome to Temptation by Jennifer Crusie. While this story did actually have a plot, I just found it to have lots of cheesy repetitive lines. The main character, Sophie, was obsessed with Dusty Springfield and dove ice cream bars. Her lover, the mayor Phin, was obsessed with playing pool and using the phrases "fuck your brains out" and "head banging sex". I can't even count how many times he used those phrases and how often dove bars or Dusty Springfield songs were mentioned. If they would have been reduced in the story it wouldn't have been half as bad as it was. The crimes in the story were kind of interesting, but there were way to many twists to make it believable. I'm just glad to be done so I can start a new book.
