Review
If you haven’t heard of or encountered PJ Sugar…well then you are missing out on a lovable, endearing funny girl who will make you laugh cry and roll your eyes. How would I describe PJ…well think Stephanie Plum goes to charm school and keeps all her wit, humor and charismatic personality. I highly recommend this series and would defiantly start with book one and work your way through, as the books can stand alone they make more sense knowing PJ's story in order.
Licensed for Trouble is the third installment in Susan May Warren's entertaining PJ Sugar series. This latest adventure picks up six weeks after the "kiss" in book two between PJ and her boss, Jeremy Kane. Unfortunately though past love (Boone..sigh) and being homeless puts a damper on PJ's spirits. Jeremy is a bit distant and hasn’t reached out or made any attempt at romance, was the kiss a mistake, is there really nothing between them? While PJ is pondering where to take her love life and where to take her career things take a turn for strange after PJ learns she’s inherited the Kellogg family estate and stumbles upon her first real PI investigation when stranger and handyman Max walks into her life.
This was the best PJ Sugar book to date. I loved the romance between PJ and Jeremy and I enjoyed seeing the growth of PJ’s character and think she has been thoroughly fleshed out. The mystery is bigger and had a very dangerous appeal, while the new characters introduced play very well in the plot line. Overall PJ Sugar has defiantly won me over and I'm delighted to have spent the month of July reading her adventures, I'm hoping Warren continues on with PJ's story, but can certainly rest at this point with her foreseeable future. So whether this be the end or just the beginning, I cant wait to read more from Ms. Warren.
