Rating: Summary: Hot and Humorous!!! Review: This was my very first Susan Anderson novel and I was REALLY impressed. This book was so easy to read, so enjoyable. The main character is Catherine MacPherson, who is mistaken for her twin sister Kaylee. Kaylee has skipped bail, and Sam McCade is the penny pinching bail enforcer (aka "bail boy" or "bounty hunter") who has come to claim her. Sam takes Catherine on a wild and sometimes dangerous but always hilarious journey from Seattle to Miami. At first, Catherine is outraged and does everything she can to foil Sam's mission, but as feelings grow between her and Sam she finds a different part of herself - the spontaneous and carefree side of her personality that she has kept inside until now. Meanwhile, her twin sister Kaylee, who is the exact opposite, is finding the part of herself which is honorable and sensible. Wow, the romance and the hot sex scenes alone make this a book you just can't put down. The subplots and the humor make it irresistable. Kaylee's character kind of annoyed me at first, but then I found myself grudgingly liking her. My favorite line is in the epilogue where Kaylee is comparing men to well laid kitchen floors .... Loved it! I would definitely recommend this book, and I can't wait to read more by Susan Anderson.
Rating: Summary: Cute Story Review: If you are looking for a very lighthearted read, that you can read in one sitting, than this is your novel. Catherine has a twin sister whose middle name is trouble. Catherine's twin shows up at her home, and the very next day Catherine is dragged from her house by Sam McKade, a bounty hunter on the lookout for her twin. Sam does not believe that he has the wrong girl. There is no way that there are two identical long legged red heads. This is pretty much a road trip story as Sam fights his attraction for his prisoner while returning her to town to face her charges. Now throw into the mix the local mob who wants her sister dead, and you have a very cute story.
Rating: Summary: Great Review: This was a great fast paced book. I really couldn't put it down!
Rating: Summary: Flat Story With One-Dimensional Characters Review: Curvy and beautiful, Catherine MacPherson has always hidden her assets under loose, plain clothing. She's quick, intelligent, stable, dependable and responsible. Her twin sister, Kaylee, who works as a showgirl in Miami, has always been her polar opposite. Kaylee is flashy, flamboyant, impulsive, and always getting herself into trouble. When Kaylee travels across country to Seattle and shows up on Catherine's doorstep unexpectedly, Catherine smells trouble. It seems Kaylee has skipped bail after being arrested for something she didn't do, not to mention she overheard her boss hiring a hit man to eliminate his girlfriend. So not only is the hit man after her, but also bounty hunter, Sam McKade. Sam needs to bring Kaylee back so he'll finally have enough money to buy that fishing lodge for him and his friend. After following Kaylee to Seattle, he snatches her from her sister's home while trying to make a getaway. This infuriating woman insists she not Kaylee, but her twin sister, Catherine. He's heard that one before and he's not buying it. However, it really is Catherine, and she'll do anything she can to delay their progress back to Miami. Along the way, Sam starts considering the possibility he has the wrong sister, because she's a lot smarter, and not nearly as self-centered as he imagined. But more importantly, it's getting increasingly difficult to be professional, and to keep his hands to himself. What will happen when he finds out the truth of her identity, and they finally give in to their mutual attraction? This was my first Susan Anderson read, and I had relatively high expectations because of the rave reviews of this book on Amazon. And I also found it on someone's listmania list as a favorite. Well, I was gravely disappointed, and only made it through chapter eight before I gave up. There just wasn't much to like about this book. The characters were basically one-dimensional, the writing was awkward, and the clichéd story just couldn't hold my attention. I really disliked Catherine's sister, Kaylee, because not only did she meet all specifications for the showgirl stereotype (how boring is that?), but also she was willing to hide and just watch her sister suffer the consequences of her wrongdoing. Then we have the hit man whose name is Jimmie Chains (oh please, how original). I quickly skimmed through the remainder of the book, and overall I can only find two positive things about this novel. It did have a funny moment here and there, when I wasn't rolling my eyes in exasperation, and the couple of love scenes I read were quite erotic. Unfortunately, that certainly isn't enough to torture myself by reading all three hundred seventy-five pages. For a good contemporary romance, try Jennifer Crusie, Susan Elizabeth Phillips or Rachel Gibson. I already own another book by Ms. Anderson, and at this point I'm unsure if I'll read it.
Rating: Summary: Vintage Andersen.... Review: Catherine McPherson has spent her life trying to be everything her twin sister was not...flamboyant, spontaneous, and fun. After growing up believing that having a stacked body was a sin, Catherine did everything she could to hide it. When bounty hunter, Sam McKade mistakes her for her twin, Kaylee, Catherine is at first shocked...then she is furious. While she may play down her looks, no one expects her to think as fast on her feet as she does. Sam McKade just wants to collect the bounty on Kaylee McPherson. The money he gets from this job will put him over the top for the fishing lodge that he wants to buy for his best friend. He can't help the instant attraction that he feels for her though. 'Red' as he calls her, is different than he expected. He expected a brainless bimbo, but he got one smart woman. The things that she does to slow their trip from Seattle to Miami astound him afterall, she's only a showgirl. The chemistry between Sam and Cat is red hot. In her normal storyline, Andersen injects a ton of humor into her suspenseful plot. You will crack up when reading about 'Chains'. Catherine is a great heroine who is self confident about herself and learns to be comfortable in her body. Sam is just the kind of hero the reader loves, dark and brooding, a man that just oozes sex appeal. Don't miss it.
Rating: Summary: Fast paced sexy, witty fun! Review: I loved this romantic comedy! Hilarious good twin/ bad twin story! Sexy, witty and sweet all in one. A dynamite fast read! Perfect for pool season!
Rating: Summary: This is a hot one . . . Review: . . . and utterly charming as well. Sam's a real sweetheart. He needs to bring this last "escapee" in so that he can make a life change to make amends to his former police partner who is now a parapalegic (yes, Sam blames himself for this even though he's not really to blame). He doesn't count on his "bounty" being bountiful, beautiful Catherine McPherson, whom he mistakes for her twin showgirl sister Kaylee. Unlike Kaylee, Catherine is responsible, courageous, inventive, and ethical. Like Kaylee, she's drop-dead gorgeous & sexy. It's entertaining to watch Sam trying to resist his undeniable attraction for this spunky, sexy redhead. The sparks fly between these two and then explode in some of the sexiests sex scenes I've ever read.
Rating: Summary: What an Adventure!!! Review: Sam is a bounty hunter who is tired of the job and fools that he has to chase down. Hopefully this will be his last bounty and then he can move on and do what he wants kindof. Catherine is a twin that is as different from her sister as she can be. Kaylee is all flash and big hair and big big problems. Catherine is a teacher for the deaf and wears cloths that hide everything she can. Kaylee is in trouble. She has heard a contract being taken out on someone, plus there is the added fact that she has been arrested for car theft (thats another story within the story) hence the bounty, she has skipped bailto go to her sister Catherine. In the end Sam has taken the wrong sister and hits the road that will not be smooth! With typical humor and romance Susan Andersen has written another fun story that is both touching and amusing.
Rating: Summary: Very Entertaining 4 1/2 Star Read!!! Review: Very entertaining tale of a mistaken identity of a twin and the bounty hunter after her. A fun ride that takes us through Washington State to Wyoming and into the Colorado wilderness without skipping a beat of the action. I truly liked Sam McKade, the male lead and bounty hunter. The female lead of the mistaken twin Catherine MacPherson was fun to read, but she sometimes got on my nerves. LOL...what I mean by that is that she is mistaken for her showgirl-stripper-wild twin sister Kaylee and she tended to try and act like her sister to the point of annoyance. Hard to explain, but she was being hauled from home and practically accosted by this guy she didn't know and all she did for the first few chapters was figure, hell, I might as well try and be Kaylee and see why she does the things she does. She wears her stripper clothes and makeup and I got the impression she looked like a hooker to the people in the story, lol. No offense Ms. Anderson, I loved the story, it was fast-paced and fun to read, but Catherine was a little too unbelieveable in the beginning. ~The last thing a proper Seattle teacher for the deaf needs is a surly bounty hunter breaking into her quiet home and mistaking her for her wild and out of control twin sister Kaylee! She hasn't even seen her sister in a long while! So when Kaylee shows up at her door wanting help and then suddenly flees leaving Catherine literally holding the bag, Sam McKade comes barging into her home and handcuffs her! No way is he believing that she is a twin! things dont get better when he drags her along with all Kaylee's clothes and puts her on a Greyhound bus handcuffed to his wrist intending to go to Miami! Things get even worse when she is crammed up next to him, all muscle and machoness, making her think bad things about him when she is a respectable schoolteacher from Seattle, not some floozy stripper! Sam McKade has no patience for the lies this irritating, yet gorgeous woman he spewing! Twins??? Yeah right! Did she think he was a moron? He needs this bounty to fulfill a promise to a friend and he is not letting some floozy stripper get the best of him, even though she makes his blood boil...and skin hot...he won't let her! He can't let her, it will make him careless and he truly needed this money! Problems begin to mount as someone is on their tail and that someone wants Kaylee dead. Sam can't believe his luck! Through tons of tricks she pulls to get away and this 'someone' trying to get her, am is at the end of his rope! To make things really bad is when Sam starts to realize that Kaylee is not what she appears to be afterall...is she really a twin? He has no time to ponder this as the fireworks begin to take hold between them and they are running for their lives! Funny moments that will have you laughing out loud and sweet ones that will make you smile. I loved it and enjoyed the tricks she pulled on Sam. Very sexy read full of laughs. Susan Anderson always delivers!!! Tracy Talley~@
Rating: Summary: I just bought more Susan Andersen and can't get enough. . . Review: This was great. At first I was a bit unsure the first chapter seemed to not grab my attention as quickly as I'd hoped but I plugged away and was definitely not disappointed. A perfect summer read and being in the last few weeks of pregnancy the romance and hot details are keeping me going. I just finished another Andersen book and am on my way to getting the rest.
