"Overall I really enjoyed this book, and thought it was very entertaining. When I started reading this book I thought that I really liked the character, and the climate of the book. When I visualized what was happening in the book, I really liked how the pictures in my head had alot of colors, and I was able to understand what was happening really well. My favorite character was Ken because I really liked how no matter what, he did not give up on trying to win Chris, and he never lost hope that he would win, like Chris did. I would definitly recommend this book to a friend because it was very funny, and entertaining, and the characters were so relatable. This book was very easy to understand what was happening, and pulled you into the story with the other characters. When a character felt an emotion, it made you understand their emotion. This book portrays many messages, and truths about life. You will not regret reading this book."

    " I read this book in the last week...found it strange, and funny. I am not sure that someone that gets his arm broken while trying to help a stranded motorist would actually end up renting a room from them, but hey, it make for a great laugh. "

    " Total fluff, but I did laugh out loud at some of it. This is Janet Evanovich's first romantic novel. Shades of the Stephanie Plum series are evident in it. "

    " You can tell it was one of Evanovich's earlier works. The plot was slow moving and super predictable, but I'm now on a quest to conquer them all. And it's neat to see where one of my favorite Evanovich characters, Aunt Edna, originated. "

    " I absolutely love Janet Evanovich. Her books are so easy to read and make me laugh. They are a welcome break from some of my heavier and more thought provoking reading. Overall this romantic tale is the same as all of her others. Disheveled chick meets devestatingly handsome man and falls madly in love. And of course let's not forget the pushy old broad and a giant dog who are so over the top you can't help but laugh. A fun and easy read! "

    " This was an early novel of Evanovich's written before she became famous. Not outstanding and she used plot devices, character descriptions and names that would be handled better in her later books. "
