A timeless tale from the first name in romantic comedy - Jennifer Crusie! OBJECTIVE: Find Man Must be Rich, Handsome, and Successful Kate Svenson is attractive, successful, a brilliant businesswoman - and miserable. After three failed engagements, she realises it's time for a PLAN...and organised, detailed agenda with a clear goal: finding Mr. Right. The Cabins resort is ripe with eligible bachelors, all rich, distinguished and ambitious - just her type. And they're dropping like flies around her...at least, that's how Jake Templeton views the situation. After he's stuck pulling her latest reject out of the swimming pool, Jake's convinced this femme fatale is trouble. Especially for him. But can a man who's sworn off ambition for good and a woman hanging from the top of the corporate ladder find common ground in the unpredictable territory called the heart, where the word proposal takes on a very different meaning...?

A nice, no brainer book, with a simple language, very short and easy to read. A predictable romance, true, but also funny (I was laughing so hard in some of the date scenes). I really liked some of the characters, like Kate (she's smart, driven and doesn't take bullshit from anyone) and Penny (she's sweet and nice, even if she's not that smart). Jake was a little bit irritating, but overall, as a main love interest, he was ok.
I love the You-annoy-me-but-I-end-up-falling-in-love-with-you trope, but everything was a little bit rushed in this book. It took only a week for the two main couples to fall in love and want to be together forever. Actually, the whole idea of the book is a little bit ludicrous, because Kate's entire plan is meet someone in a spam of two weeks and get married shortly after. Yeah, right. Like it's that easy. And also, who marries someone you just met two weeks ago?
Anyway, as a distraction, it was very nice and sweet, it got me off from another book I needed a break from.
Ehhh.
