I'm a big fan of chick lit (new to the genre, but still) and I like stories that aren't too mushy, and that have substance, and if possible, make me think without being too 'out there'. I'm so glad I found Christie Craig!

DIVORCED, DESPERATE AND DELICIOUS
CHRISTIE CRAIG
Rated by buyers 4.5 enchantments
Lacy Maguire is supposed to be having an ordinary day - or at least as ordinary as it can get, given she's doing a pet Christmas shoot in February, her mother is calling to discuss Lacy's nonexistent sex life and oh, it's the anniversary of something she'd really rather forget. But when her antler-wearing dog Fabio starts barking up a storm in her backyard, she can't imagine the twist her life is about to take.
Chase Kelly is a cop on the run. Having been shot by his dirty partner, he's on the run till he can prove that he's the one being set up. But when he winds up discovered hiding in Lacy Maguire's yard, by a dog wearing antlers - in February! - he has no other choice but to hide out in the house and take the lovely Lacy hostage until he can find a way to clear his name.
`Divorced, Desperate and Delicious' is romantic comedy at its best, with a hint of mystery thrown in for good measure. I loved the banter between Lacy and Chase and the struggle within Lacy to fight her attraction for the guy who is just sorta holding her temporarily hostage. One of the best scenes that truly had me laughing out loud is when the two return from a shopping trip and come home to her matchmaking mother waiting on the front steps. In a way chaos ensues as Chase in disguise has to play boyfriend to Lacy, even while the groceries fall to the ground and two boxes of condoms fall out in front of her mother.
A must read for fans of romantic comedy.

I really hate writing reviews for I always find others beat me to the punch and this time is no exception I really really loved this book, both characters were really likeable, sizzling chemistry, snappy dialog and fast paced well written plotline. There are scenes that had me almost [old saying] pee my pants. Handcuffs, chatty friend and vibrator in one scene, condoms and mother in another, the scene in the hall had me rolling over with laughter sam with the van.
In the words of another reviewer
Take one sexually-frustrated, slightly kooky photographer dressing up her pets for a Christmas photo shoot (in February), add one injured, wrongly-accused, and ever-so-hunky cop-on-the-lam who takes her hostage, and throw in a bevy of wacky secondary characters, and you have Christie Craig's delightful DIVORCED, DESPERATE, AND DELICIOUS. This was a fun, fast-paced "cabin romance" with a bit of intrigue and a Texas-sized dollop of sexy humor.
Get the book great summer read and funniest book this year [sorry Crusie, Graves]
Cannot wait till the sequels come out!
Rated by buyers -
Just delightful characters. If you like witty dialogue, you will love this book! (Her subsequent novel - "Weddings Can be Murder" - also deserves 5 stars!)

Detective Chase Kelly is not having a good day. A veteran cop on the force is dirty and Chase found out. He was left for dead, well trying to escape, as he was shot and jumped off a bridge into the lake down below. Plus, it is February and not the perfect weather for a swim.
Chase is found by a sexy woman wearing a huge pink shirt with "Divorced, Desperate and Delicious" on the front, and nothing else. He comes to the conclusion that he will hide out in her place and pulls a gun on her to make her see reason. But what Chase is in store for will make for an interesting few days as he hides out.
Lady Maguire is a photographer who is trying to take come holiday pictures for subsequent year with her motley crew of cats and dogs. She has no sex life to speak of and her ex-husband likes to come around once a year for no strings attached sex. Lacy is fed up, but scared to take the plunge with another man. Her mother has been married six times and intimacy scares her because she doesn't think she is good at it. But then when Chase shows up and forces her to help him, she knows her days with only her animals for company are over.
Both Chase and Lacy are together in very close quarters. Chase wouldn't mind spending the subsequent few days getting to know Lacy both in and out of her bedroom. And even though Lacy finds Chase to be very attractive, her own issues stop her from going to distance with him. Plus, with her mother and loopy girlfriends stopping by along with Zeke, the dirty cop on the loose looking for Chase, these two hardly have a moment for themselves! And don't forget Lacy's ex-husband who still thinks Lacy is open for him to come back into her life whenever she wants.
Christie Craig has written an unbelievable story that can only be pulled off in a comedic romance. Divorced, Desperate and Delicious is very funny and cute along with some excellent love scenes between Chase and Lacy. These two characters are great together and you hope everything will work out for them by the end.
Don't be surprised if you laugh out loud at certain parts, I sure did and I can count on Craig as an author to read for good laughs and a wonderful romance. Some insanity ensues, but we can call that her trademark.
Take a chance on Christie Craig. She is one author to look out for.
