Summary: I'm glad I don't put too much faith in others reviews
Review: I almost didn't read this after seeing some of the reviews. I am glad that I changed my mind. This novel was great. I can see where people complained that the romance wasn't really steamy. There maybe was only 6 pages of romance (sex) in the book. So if you are a die hard wanting to read sex scenes every few minutes, this book is not for you. However, if you want to read a great book with a group of fun loving eccentric characters, this book is for you. I thought it was a great book. I don't think Kelly was overly whiney (Maybe a tad but... - it fit the character), but Seth was perfect. I also liked how she added characters from her other books also. It was nice to read about Corrigan again. So if you haven't read this book, don't go by the reviews on this page. Pick a copy up yourself and maybe read a chapter or so at a bookstore. If it grabs your attention read on - I am sure you will enjoy it.

Summary: Could not stop laughing...
Review: I am only 1/2 way through and I am laughing outloud at every page. The Burke family is hysterical. And I love how the past books characters are reappearing...I hope the second half of book is as good as the first.

Summary: What an idiotic book!
Review: I bought this book because I thought it would be like something by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. I was thoroughly disappointed. I sat down for an enjoyable read and from page 1--I couldn't manage to stay focused or to care about any of the characters. I wished Brown had made an attempt to create vivid but believable characters instead they were all shallow and grating. There wasn't any kind of introduction, the family was just thrown at the reader.

While I can understand Brown's desire to make the story zany and the family lovable (again, emulating SEP), I couldn't finish this scattered book and threw it in the trash after barely getting to pg.30.

What a waste!

Summary: okay
Review: I found that I did a lot of skipping. I liked the hero but the heroine mostly annoyed me. I didn't want her to end up with the guy. I would not recommend this one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Laugh Out Loud!
Review: I thought this book was great! Not a lot of heavy romance, but lots of zany characters and laughs. It's not often that I laugh out loud while reading .... Kelly's a "normal" person attempting to deal with her outrageous relatives - pure entertainment. I liked it.

Summary: What Have I Just Read?
Review: I'm not sure what I've just read. It was entertaining but I couldn't begin to tell you the plot line. Sue Civil-Brown always writes in an offbeat manner. That's one of the reasons I buy her books. However, this is just a little to much when you can't really figure out the purpose of the story. I didn't care for the heroine or hero. They didn't make an impression on me. I did enjoy the huge cast of secondary characters. If it hadn't been for them, I would have never finished this book. This isn't the best, neither is it the worst I've ever read.

Summary: Funny story but the romance left much to be desired.
Review: If you like a wacky story line you'll love the cast of zany secondary characters in this one, unfortunately, the romance isn't nearly as interesting. The heroine is whiney, selfish, childish and very difficult to sympathize with. Seth, the hero, is terrific though and he so deserved a mature, loving woman to spend the rest of his life with. Instead he got Kelly and I nearly wanted to tear my hair out! END
