Book Friday – Double Trouble by Susan May Warren
26 February 2010
“PJ Sugar had been born to sneak up on people.“
I love reading books by authors I’ve read and love. There’s something so comforting about returning to the way they weave a story, develop a character, make you laugh or cry. And when it’s the sequel to a book I love, it’s doubly sweet.
Double Trouble by Susan May Warren is the second book in the PJ Sugar series. I blogged about Nothing but Trouble a couple weeks ago, and many of the things I said about it are true of the second book as well.
I still love PJ Sugar. I’m still not sure who I think she should end up with (though I’m leaning more and more toward Jeremy), and the combination of mystery, humor, and heart is flat-out addicting.
In Double Trouble, PJ’s become a PI assistant for Jeremy. (And yes, there’s a stakeout scene.) She has her first official case—ten days of house-sitting for a witness in protective custody. Though she’s disappointed when Jeremy assures her there won’t be any danger, she’s grateful to have some time away to think about Boone’s (her old high school flame) marriage proposal.
But it turns out house-sitting isn’t quite as danger free as Jeremy predicted…
It’s seriously fabulous stuff. PJ’s the type of girl I want to go grab coffee with, because she’s just plain fun. Her personality practically leaps off the page.
The only thing I found slightly odd about this book is that her best friend from high school wasn’t mentioned at all, even though they reconnected in the first book. That seemed a little strange to me, and I’m hoping we see some more of Trudi in Licensed for Trouble which comes out in August. Woo-woo! Hoping I can maybe get my hands on an advanced copy since I’ll have my hands full with a newborn come August…
Have a great weekend everyone!
I’ll do my best to get it for you. =)
