I gobbled up Kelly Fitzpatrick's `Dodging Cupid' like Valentine's Day chocolate. The book responded accordingly, going straight to my heart, putting me in a good mood, making me crave more.Fitzpatrick's cynical heroine, Jenna, and bad-boy hero, Del (probably short for delicious, Jenna decides), meet in a Laundromat on Valentine's Day. Together they recount the many reasons to despise the lover's holiday, while keenly aware of their own smoldering attraction. At the end of the evening, Del gets Jenna's number, promising to call. As Jenna feared, he never does. Brokenhearted, she drags her wash to the Laundromat each week, hoping for the impossible. Finally, unable to take another lonely night at their meeting place, she decides to invest in her own washer and dryer--even if she has to go in debt to do it. The faint sound of a motorcycle in the distance settles it. Never again will she return to the "scene of the crime." But just when she convinces herself that she'd misinterpreted the entire situation, imagined the kiss, the perfection of his lips, she thinks she hears Del's voice, rich and smooth like fine chocolate, asking..."Someone order a pizza?"Dodging Cupid is a fun and fast read. I definitely recommend this book to those trying their best to dodge cupid, as well as those looking to hit him head on.
