ANOTHER GOOD BOOK!
Kind of an anomaly, don't you think? A guy who reads romances. (Okay, I've read three, and this is the third of them.) Well, this guy picked up the prequel to this book, the outstanding "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" and ran through it in a mere four days. If that was not a taste of things to come, nothing is. I got this book from the local Library on Monday -- and returned it on Tuesday evening, DONE. That's right, I demolished this book -- 377 pages worth -- in about 27 hours. Having been inspired by the other one, probably, I was eager to read about the adventure that Quinn's partner would have in this one. I was right. Although I didn't exactly root for Grady the way I had for Quinn, and didn't see as much of myself in him as I had Quinn, I really liked him, and found that he was just so root-for-able, especially when he leapt to protect Annie when her privacy was violated the way it was, which I found abhorable. Of course, I had to go back and forth a couple times to grasp how Annie was related to the Peeverses, but when I did, it was a shocker that helped me like the book even more. And when Grady got the Peeverses to make the $10-mln donation to the Kidney Foundation in Annie's name and told Annie that HE would take care of his OWN wife, that made me an even bigger fan of his. This was a book that was more grab-ya-by-the scruff-of-the-neck-and-pull-ya-in than the other one was. The other one, I just fell in love with the characters and stayed to the end. This one, I couldn't get away from. GREAT BOOK! I'm really starting to like stuff written by Kasey Michaels.

A light-hearted read ...
It is funny and cute beyond words ~~ and a quick read. If you're looking for something is easy on the eyes and brain (meaning you don't have to think deep, probing thoughts), then this book is for you.

It's about a rich and cranky billionaire ~~ the king of toilet paper ~~ who decides to throw his greedy heirs off balance by announcing that he has found a new heir ~~ his long-lost granddaughter, Annie. Grady Sullivan is hired to be Archie's bodyguard, only to fall in love with the sassy granddaughter. And that's just the beginning of the adventures that the Peevers family saga endures. Between a butler who is known to "lift" things from the ugly mansion they all are residing in, a son who hides behind his wife's skirts, a dumb blondshell who giggles through everything ~~ guns, arrows, car crashes and everything that can make a mystery novel work. And of course, the romance between Annie and Grady makes for a happy ending.

It is a cute book ~~ one that you can take to the beach or read on the subway because it doesn't require a lot of thinking. And it is a guarantee that you'll laugh at some parts of the plot. Great book for a light read ~~ though the writing isn't of top quality. Like I said, if you want something light and sassy, then this should do it!

A terrific, fun read! Highly recommended
Toilet paper tycoon Archie Peevers of Peevers Mansion just outside of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, doesn't trust his nearest and dearest who may just be out to kill him for his money. So he hires bodyguard Grady Sullivan and formulates a plan. Knowing none of his relatives have the gumption to pull a trigger or slit his throat, Archie assumes someone will try poison, pills, a midnight trip down the stairs.

To keep everyone off kilter, Archie produces the obligatory missing heir. Annie Kimble is beautiful, intelligent, and trouble. Indeed, Annie has been hired to pretend she is his granddaughter from a liaison fifty years ago. Annie's a delightful character who first endured Archie's scare tactics and then a pinch behind before he announced that she's perfect for what he has in mind. Annie has her own agenda: fifty thousand dollars for one month's work of driving Archie's family insane for fun and profit.

As the Machiavellian plot escalates, Grady falls for Annie. So now not only does Grady find himself protecting an eccentric old man, but also a sharp young woman who is filing a 1099 on her proceeds. Events move along quickly as Archie's orange juice is laced with arsenic. Someone fires a crossbow through the window at Archie. As the tension builds, so do the laughs, keeping the reader highly entertained.

The sequel of TAKE MY EYES OFF OF YOU, TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE is a masterpiece of characterizations. This eccentric cast of characters keeps the plot moving along delightfully, keeping the reader guessing. I admit that the butler is my favorite secondary character with his snide observations, shred opinions, and Lurch-like appearance. Indeed, a light, humorous read with a touch of romance, Kasey Michaels has created an entertaining romantic suspense novel too good to miss. Highly recommended.
