"Loved the first book and the second did not disappoint. Finally, a book within a series where two people already know one another and it doesn't include chapters of stuff previously found in the prior book. It had just the right touch of drama and characters fro the series."
— Billie (4 out of 5 stars)
“Negger’s engaging romantic mystery neatly blends fiction with authentic detail.”
— Publishers Weekly" Whittaker Cole and his two sisters grew up with Miarablle Browning and they fought like brothers and sisters. Some of the back and forth was fun, but eventually it got old. I wanted to take them to the woodshed at one point. Eventually they reach a compromise about not bating each other. Once that happens they start realizing that they have feelings for one another other than anger. This was a good book, but it got bogged down in the middle and I was just ready to reach the end. "

— Jackie, 1/11/2014" I love the idea. Enough said. "
— Shefa, 1/3/2014" I really love this story line. I think because they so aggressively dislike one another and the transition to love is done so smoothly. I've re-read this book multiple times and will definitely re-read again in the future. "

— Huong, 5/18/2013" My fluff read. A quickie and entertaining! "
— Gypsie, 5/11/2013" I liked the book so much, I pre-ordered the next one in the series "McAllister's Fortune" even so I promised myself only to order books once they where reviewed by likesbooks.com in an effort to make my TBR pile grow slower. "

— Tammy, 11/1/2012" Three-minus. "
— Marya, 8/17/2012" The beginning had witty dialogue and I was questioning why I gave the previous book a 3. The middle was okay but nothing special or original. The end reminded me why I gave the previous book a 3. I had a hard time with the matchmaker spy plot which is what ties the 4 books together. "
— Anja, 2/4/2012" Overall this wasn't bad. The story was a little slow for my ADD style, but the pace picked up a bit about halfway through and the banter was good. "
— Tori, 8/3/2011" There was no suspense to this book. The mystery was so vague and the characters so boring. I couldn't care less who did it. Bleh "
— Melissa, 5/12/2011" A little hard to get the people straigh sort of like whose who but it is turning out to be a mystery. Can't quite figure out who the blackmailer is yet. "
— Elvis, 9/16/2010" It was ok but predictable. A quick read. First time I have read this author. I plan on reading another of her books to see what I think. "

— REGINA, 7/14/2009" This book was good, it had a good story, but I felt there were almost too many characters. It was hard to keep track of where everyone came into the story. "
— Connie, 3/9/2009" There ws so much going on, and it was so involved. It was hard to keep all of the details straight, but the story was good. "
— Mom, 1/6/2009" I had a hard time reading this book. It was very good, I was just insanely busy. This is a reprint of an early book. Was one of her best romantic suspenses. "
