Customer Reviews

One of the most romantic ending ever.

I got much more than I had expected from one of Brockmanns early works. I'll be reading this again. This book is well written and unique and also very moving. I love brothers friends, friends brothers and stepbrother themes. I'm glad I got it.

Fast Light Good Read

It has been a long time for me to read a romance but this was good fast light read!

The Kissing Game

Frankie is finally figuring out what she wants to do with her life. She loves living on Sunshine Key, and now she is the Key's own private investigator. Now all she needs is taking on her first important case. She has a fast timetable with a huge bonus as a possibility if she meets the timetable and Simon is acting as her assistant. If only Simon wasn't so infuriating. Ok well it is more that she has had a crush on him, like most women who come in contact with him, for years. And he happens to be her best friend's brother. The main problem seems to be that Simon didn't realize that Frankie is now an adult and not the little pest that ran around with his sister. Well and that he has a love `em and leave `em reputation that Frankie refuses to be a part of. Now suddenly Frankie is looking for the boy from her past, which she had a huge crush on. Will Simon realize what is before his eyes before it is too late? And if so can he convince Frankie that he is a changed man. I recommend reading The Kissing Game the same way I did, in the Florida Keys next to the ocean on a sunny day. Reading it this way I could imagine that I might just see Frankie or Simon walking by. This is the second story in the Sunrise Key Trilogy and just as fun as the first one. I love how these two characters interact as well as how they each try to protect their hearts to the point they may lose the one thing they really want, love. As with most everything Ms. Brockmann writes I think The Kissing Game is a winner. Note: This series was originally published by Loveswept, these books are reprints.

First time romance reader

The closest to a romance book I've ever gotten is Janet Evanovich books and some old Jackie Collins. I usually read the newest bestsellers and tend to steer clear of romance. I finally thought it was time to read one to see what I thought. This was a great book to start out with. I read it in one day; it is a really fast read. I really enjoyed the characters and the plot. It was nice to not have to think at all about a book and just enjoy it for what it is. I don't give it 5 stars because I felt that some of the lines were a little too cheesy. Still a great story.

A romantic story straight up

Anybody who has a couple of hours to spare and enjoys a romantic read will appreciate this book. The characters Simon and Frankie who were earlier introduced in the companion book "Kiss and Tell" are reintroduced in this story. As I read the story, I felt like I was visiting an old friend who I hadn't seen in years or like I was slipping my feet into the most comfortable of shoes. It reminded me of why I read Ms. Brockmann's books. (And as this book was originally published in 1996, I recognized her earlier writing style). In these times of uncertainty, this book will return you to the romantic, classic story which so many authors have neglected in the last several years.
