Sexy, Cute and Fun

I have been reading reviews of this book and I have to say that I personally really liked it. It was the first Susan Johnson book I read and I found it fun and entertaining. Its meant to be a light-hearted book that is just there for enjoyment and some laughs.

3 1/2 Stars

This trade-paperback-sized story wouldn't make a half-bad novella if you cut out all the frantic, self-consciously-written sex scenes. I know SJ is known for her sex scenes, but what I don't know is WHY. They're... dull. But the story itself was actually pretty good. Stella Scott is a comic book store owner. Danny Rees designs computer games & is richer than... she calls him a kazillionnaire, which seems pretty appropriate. Somebody's broken into his office, trying to steal the details of his new game. She looks like a suspect, and he doesn't talk about any details of his game designing, so she thinks he's just saying he's a game designer when he's really a drug dealer. So they each suspect each other, while in the meantime they can't keep their hands ( & other body parts) off each other. In addition, there's a nice secondary romance between a confirmed bachelor & a divorced mom who's sworn off marriage. The good: The comic store setting. The mutual suspicion which could be cleared up by just talking to each other, but it makes sense that they don't. The secondary romance. The bad: The ho-hum sex scenes. The verdict: Wait until it's out in mass market size or get it at your library unless you're a big Susan Johnson fan.
