Manhunting is a book that Jennifer Cruise put out quite awhile ago - but it has been rereleased in hardcover. It is a fun read with Crusie's breezy fun style.
Kate Svenson is a workaholic who wants to get married. She's had offers, and she has broken off three engagements. Her job is depressing her - her talent is working on and assessing business plans for existing businesses. She started at the Small Business Administration, but is now working with Fortune 500 companies in her father's company. Kate and her best friend decide that she needs a plan to find a guy because Kate is good with plans. She takes a vacation to a golf resort in Kentucky. There will be rich guys, golf and potential husbands.
She gets asked out there - but something keeps happening to her dates. The one who cheated on their golf game had a heart attack. Another one steps off a cliff, when they were hiking. And the guy she is hanging out with the most is Jack - the head of the grounds at the resort. Talk about opposites attract, or maybe not. It turns out he is hiding from the rat race too.
He thinks she's dangerous to guys, but when she starts to help out the local gal who runs the only bar in town, he takes another look.
Full of fun dialogue and great characters. A gem!
