Kari@ From the TBR Pile

From what I can tell, this was Tami Hoag's first book. Like a lot of romantic suspense and mystery writers, she got her start writing contemporary romance. She has come a long way from this first book! While I did enjoy The Trouble with J.J., I didn't love it. The one thing that I didn't really care for was Genna. She was too wimpy for me. JJ was such a great character and so obviously head over heels for Genna, but she just can't see it. Instead of confronting JJ about his feelings, she becomes withdrawn and sulky. That drove me nuts. I was also frustrated with the end. It was dragged out WAAAAAAY too long with no epilogue. What a let down.

The one redeeming quality of this book was JJ. He is just too cute. I loved the scenes between him and his daughter. I also loved the peripheral characters. They are really what kept me engaged. The aunt was hysterical! I listened to the audiobook and the narrator did a wonderful job. It's a quick read and worth it for any fan of Ms. Hoag!
