Allowing Simon Hunt to play her partner on her latest assignment probably wasn't Frankie Paresky's best idea ever, but the private investigator found it just as hard as most women did to tell him no. When a chance to solve a long-ago mystery sparked a sizzling attraction between old friends, Frankie wavered between pleasure and panic. Could the best bad boy she'd ever known be the man she'd always love? Utterly seductive, irresistibly inventive, The Kissing Game celebrates a love as torrid as the Florida sun—and as passionate as a first kiss.

"A lot of Suzanne Brockmann's early novels have the two main characters constantly doubt their feelings for one another, and it's a little frustrating. But, I sped through this one because despite the junior-high "does he or doesn't he?" it was a good book.A perfect ending, too! "
— Rochelle (4 out of 5 stars)
“Donna Rawlins’ sultry, smoothly paced portrayal of Frankie is perfect down to the last ‘y’all.’ Rawlins is equally adroit in her portrayal of the supporting characters, including sexy Simon. Overall, Rawlins’ delivery is slow and her performance well acted.”
— AudioFile“Suzanne Brockmann celebrates Christmas in wonderful fashion with The Kissing Game…An author of tremendous range and versatility, Ms. Brockmann proves herself a master of love and laughter who knows how to make our hearts sing with utter delight.”
— RT Book Reviews (4½ stars, Top Pick!)" Brockman never disappoints. The story was delightcul. Frankie and Simon's chemistry is steamy as well as their intimacy. "
— Laurie, 2/13/2014" 2nd in the series. Not my favorite, but enjoyable. I enjoy the books about Navy Seals more but also a romance "
— Alysen, 2/6/2014" Hope springs eternal. I read this one even though I wasn't fond of the first, but I was hoping Frankie would have a good story. She was...okay, I guess, but Simon's rediculousness continued. Oh well. At least it was short. "
— Becky, 1/22/2014" Oh as love stories go. I can't give them a high mark. But - I do enjoy reading them. I find their relationship adorable. I kept waiting to see what was gonna happen. Was the kiss finally gonna happen!? no. next time. At least they enjoyed their time playing detective. :) It was cute. "
— Kristy, 1/15/2014" A reprint of the second volume in a Loveswept trilogy that Suzanne Brockmann set in Sunrise Key, Florida. Frankie Paresky tries to establish herself as a private investigator while her best friend's brother, Simon Hunt, tries to convince her that he has turned over a new leaf and truly cares for her alone. A sweet romance. "
— E., 1/15/2014" Sweet and quick... nice childhood crush premise. I adored the ending... how romantic! "
— AzuresHeart, 1/6/2014" This was a fun story to listen to on tape. I enjoyed the woman's southern accent. It was strange to read a book (well, listen to one) that does not have a lot of suspense and intrigue, but a nice change of pace. It was an easy, fast, plot and it helped make the time in the car go quickly. "
— Laura, 12/21/2013" I really liked this series! The dynamic between the siblings and friends were great. "
— Maggie, 12/17/2013" Sweet story, shame about the cover! "
— Quinn, 12/15/2013" Haha, the one I read did not have this cheesy cover! "
— Lady, 12/11/2013" I loved it just as much as the first, if not more! I loved the adorable ending and there's a sweet scene that involves a childhood fantasy that warmed my heart. :) I loved it! "
— Jana, 4/8/2013" Simon, Simon, Simon..... he sure has fallen hard. Frankie is in denial with a capital S. I wish there was just a bit more dialogue with Leila & Marsh from the first book but this story had a HEA and captured my heart. "
— Christine, 3/22/2013" Very easy read, likeable characters, satisfying ending. I thoroughly enjoyed it. "
— Daphne, 1/30/2013" I thought it was cuter than its predecessor and it was funny and realistic but nothing earth shattering. It did the trick. :) "
— CJ, 10/23/2011" Bit like a Mills & Boon and not very gripping. I think I will avoid the other Brockman romance books - I quite like her Navy Seals ones, they have more story and action "
— Weebly, 9/17/2011" Well written and a lot of fun. The age old question: How do you get the girl to take you seriously when you sleepwith anything in a skirt? "
— Anita, 9/8/2011" Bit like a Mills & Boon and not very gripping. I think I will avoid the other Brockman romance books - I quite like her Navy Seals ones, they have more story and action "

— Quinn, 10/15/2009" A nice, light, fast read. Great for destressing during lunchtime at work. I enjoyed the characters. It is nice to see a romance novel couple who are not madly in love after two weeks but have known eachother for 20 years and finally figure out they are right for eachother. "
