Helpful Score: 3
When I first picked up this book, it was because I was running out of stuff to read and I couldn't find anything better. What I thought would be a slow, boring, just-to-past-the-time read turned out to be a fabulous and deliciously suspenseful book. A MUST READ for Fern Michaels fans!
Helpful Score: 2
This was a great quick read. A little romance, a little suspense, and a little fun. Enjoy!
Helpful Score: 1
This book was really disappointing for me. Michaels tried to write a romantic thriller, but missed the mark. The love story and the mystery story didn't mesh well. It seemed like two incomplete books crammed into one disjointed novel.
Catch-y plot and sub-plot. Interesting characterization. One person in the main character's life is deceitful. Which one.
Quirky, cute, good beach book!
This book makes you want to get to know your neighbors better. Predictable at parts, but very entertaining.

Disappointing for Fern Michaels. A very predictable story line.
A nice addition having a character develop telepathic abilities! Not to mention fun-loving dogs playing a good role!
fern michael Ilove her books
Another great read by Fern Michaels
This was good and had a few intense moments but I can't see myself reading it again.
ANOTHER FERN MICHAELS WINNER!
Writing style was not to my taste at all. Scenes were poorly written, dialogue was terrible. The main character's ESP was not handled in a way to make it necessary to the story, so it just seemed silly.

Cute story, and a quick read.
This book had a title that indicated to me that the story would be whimsical and fun. Instead, it was a weak suspense story with an even weaker ending. The characters were likeable if not fully developed. Ending left me with more questions than it cleared up.

Lucy is dismissive but starts to think about how rarely she and her fiance see each other. Then the FBI agents return with details about all the nefarious dealings her fiance is involved in and show her papers that she has signed as the owner of a multimillion-dollar compound. Meanwhile, she meets her neighbor, whose dog is a friend of Sadie's. Wylie Wilson is also a lawyer, and as her problems mount, she turns to him for help. Soon Lucy and Wylie become more than friends, and the prolific Michaels delivers a humorous, rollicking tale of adventure and intrigue.

What can I say..It's a Fern Michaels book!! That's like saying checkout my Jimmy Choo's. It can't get much better in the line of well loved authors. This is an adorable story with a bit of drama, a fiance that has a double life, character Lucy moving to the suburbs, gardening & her dog and yup the exasperating man next door. Oh and of course there is love. If this book was 200 years old (it's not) it would still be a winner to read several times over.
