Cute book for a rainy afternoon
very easy to read
Loved it!
Children of Chicago area gangsters, their romance and indecision. Told in a breezy witty style. Spiced up with a lot of emotions and just the right amount of sex.
I kept turning the pages to find out hoe Lucie and Frankie were doing. Loved the dog characters. Joey is priceless as a brother.
The girl was overly confused.
Fun read.
enjoyed the characters
What a great cozy mystery. Fast paced, suspenseful, thrilling, funny, romantic and has great characters. Great writing and storytelling make this a start to a great series.
This book i could not lay down. I wanted to keep reading all the books from this series, but my library doesnt have them.
Comical, good . Read
I am currently going to buy book 2 as I so much enjoyed Lucie Rizzo’s character and spirit!!
stupid
This was an interesting cozy mystery with a few twists and turns! I enjoyed reading it!
Nice cozy mystery and great love story. It takes awhile for me to figure out the why and who in the mystery but great character building. Enjoyed the book and the characters.
I recommend for light reading fun.
It was unpredictable and fresh. Enjoyed this fresh approach.
Light, fun read.
The actual mystery part is fun. It could be expanded upon.
Without going into spoilers, the X-rated romance tends to interfere with the mystery. The X-rated parts are much more than one or two scenes. In fact, they tend to overshadow the mystery. As in if you highlighted the mystery in one color, and the romance in another, the romance is probably 2/3 of the book.
I’d like to give the book a higher rating. Even with the romance, it could be enjoyable. Too much behind closed doors on the page. If this book had given an X-rated warning, I wouldn’t have chosen it. At least a warning would be helpful, and might have kept it at the 4 star rating for honesty.
Enjoyable, easy read.
