I don't know why the reviewer seems afraid to say that this _is_ a romance novel. :-) At least from the sample, it surely seems so.

I don't typically read romance novels, so I'll take a pass on this one. Even though there appears to be an element of suspense, it's just not a genre of interest. I do like the cover, though. Congrats to the author on achieving BOTD.

Great review. Seems the book encompasses romantic scenes. Though am not sure if I may like this one, I think its plot is captivating.

The boring start of morning dress to how the book ends embodying so much heart is something that motivates me to read the book. How Cindy is longing to be 'tussled' makes the book romantic. Thanks for the nice review.

The book cover is quite attractive, though it's contents not quite what I would have expected. While some of the things that 'crackerjack' Cindy thinks are somewhat humorous, the remainder of the narrative is not particularly exciting, which in turn does give the reader an insight into the protagonist's boring life. I think I will pass on this one.

The review is very impressive. It gives an interesting account of what the book is about. I love romance novels, and this book seems to have some sort of romance embedded in there. For some reason, i feel like Cindy, in this story, is the one doing most of the work where the romance is concerned, which makes the book more interesting.

This is an interesting suspenseful romantic thriller highlighting mystery, unique characterization, and a fast-paced captivating plot. The book is temporarily discounted on Amazon Kindle and has a well-written OnlineBookClub review. Congrats @SheaRos71315731 on the BOTD selection.

Although I didn't appreciate the beginning of the book, I soon found myself fascinated with the story, and the plot grew more interesting as I turned the pages. Regards to the author.

I enjoyed reading your review. Thank you for your honesty. The book sounds good, but I don’t have the patience for a boring beginning.

Thanks for your review. Unfortunately, the story of Cindy and Alonzo can't pique my interest, so I will skip this book.

Having patience with the book of thriller genres would be acceptable for me but not for this one which has more of a romance and less of suspense. I find the book cover attractive, got my one point for that! You wrote an excellent review... Appreciated!

Though romantic ,its typical of office life for professionals, and am sure they would get up with this type of storylines and enjoy them. Dressing codes ,financial debates and associated events typically arouses and motivates young if not aspiring professionals , especially how they are characterized and keep the story flow.Shea Rose uses suspends and lam sure readers would love it ,as it may spice up the reading in such contextual settings.

It's funny how what you're looking for has a way of finding you. I was looking for a romance novel but this seem to be too 'wishy washy' but I'll still try the book.

Do not like goofy romance so I doubt I would read it. Good review though
