"Anyone but You" by Jennifer Crusie
Nina Askews plans to restart her life after divorce at age 40 by adopting a cute little puppy to keep her company. Instead, she ends up with Fred, a sad-eyes part basset, part beagle mix. Fred, however, has hidden talents - as a matchmaker, who quickly "introduces" Nina to her handsome younger neighbor Alex. Despite Nina's fears about dating a younger man, she and Alex are drawn to each other and happily ever after ensues.
This delightful book sucked me in within the first five pages and didn't turn me loose until I read the last one. Crusie is definitely a master of the romantic comedy. She blends emotion, humor, sex and solemnity in a delicious concoction of language. Two thumbs way up for this!
