"I really enjoyed this one. Bleeding heart do-gooder liberal meets conservative straight laced cop. I liked the tagger side stories. I didn't read the first in the series, but I'm likely to after this one. The third in the series is not out yet, but I'll definitely pick that one up. "

— Brenda, 1/19/2014" I liked the whole art and teenagers thing, but I found Poppy's dialogue (and Jason's) so stilted and awkward that I had to drag myself through this book. 2.5 stars. "
— MB, 1/3/2014" After all that talk about sheiks, you'd think there would be a camel or a sand dune involved, but no... (joking. I liked these two together. They made sense.) "
— Laura, 12/26/2013" Cute story. I love Jason! Poppy was fun and they were fun to read. The only thing that would have made it better was more Dev and his brothers. "
— Jennifer, 12/12/2013" This was a great trilogy if you're in the mood for some light, sexy romance reading with a little suspense. Enjoyed them all. "
— BJ, 12/9/2013" Liked the first one better. "
— Jane, 2/10/2013" I enjoyed this book. I was already interested in the h from the first book in this series, so I was hooked from the first to see how Poppy and Jase's romance was going to play out. "
— Joan, 12/17/2012" 2nd of the 'Wolcott sisterhood': Poppy. "
— Kevin, 4/17/2012" cute story.... "
— Jill, 4/3/2012" Not quite as good as some of the other ones. I'd have given another star if it had more hockey in it like some of the other ones :) "
— Julie, 1/31/2012" A little bit corny and predictable, but I liked it! "
— Kath, 10/21/2011" In my opinion this one deserves 4 1/2 stars... There was a bunch of action and the romance scenes were HOT!! I did not read the first one in the series yet, but this one definetely was a stand alone book. I also loved the overall story line with the disadvantaged kids. "
— Andrea, 6/12/2011" I love Poppy and Jason, they are my favourite couple of this series. "
— Rebekah, 4/25/2011" brilliant!<br/>It was my first from Susan Andersen and I loved every bit of it.<br/>It mad me laugh and catch my breath with the tension.<br/>Love good cop-romance books :] "
— Steffi, 2/10/2011" Read/skim and still not for me. She is a hit or miss author for me :( "
— Samantha, 11/3/2010" i'm liking it...i find myself laughing a lot at Jase and Poppy. well, i was not surprised coz in Cutting Loose, they became sexually aware with each other even then. ^_^ "
— Blez, 10/15/2010" Narrated by Carol Monda<br/><br/>I'm really looking forward to this listen. I really liked this book when I read it. It was everything I love most about Susan Andersen. "
— Brenda, 10/4/2010" Enjoyed it, but not as much as the first book of the series. Have to agree with other reviews that dialogue was often overworked phrasing and tiresome. Come on, authors and editors, it's 2010. Say what you mean. "
— MaryEllen, 3/16/2010" Okay I know I say this a lot, but I absolutely loved the ending to this!!!! I couldn't picture a better ending for it!!!! FANTASTIC! "
— Jessica, 3/16/2010" Es geht doch nichts über niveaulose Entspannungsliteratur ;) "
