I consider this story to be quite realistic. The cover and the protagonist are attractive. Your review is honest and insightful.

I love how you put details into you review. I might not be interested in this book, as it goes around romance and suspense and the only thing that piqued my interest was her closet descriptions. Anyway, great review!

I can totally relate to Cindy's boring life. Work and home all over everyday. No wonder her mind runs off to men she is not even supposed to be thinking about. I would love to see the end of this story.

I had to read the review twice. That must be an incredible ending to overturn all those negative points. I may have to "tussle" with Cindy myself. I'll have to consult my dictionary first, though. Just to make sure I am up to "tussling."

I am still trying to comes to terms with what the book entails. It is true that over-repetition, instead of achieving the desired impact of reinforcing a point, is boring. I have added the book on my want-to-read shelf.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting thriller novel about a stenographer and a gentleman by the name of Alonzo as they are involved with a conspiracy at the Health Department is paying large amounts of money to individuals in “high places”. Will the pair discover what is wrong and solve the issue? It might be worth a second look. Well done.

The description of this book makes me to want read it. Reaching to an extent of describing the clothes in one's closet is unique something i haven't seen in the novels I've read. The plot is appealing. Thanks for the review.

Cindy seems to be an interesting character. If you enjoy romance and suspense, try this one.

"Cracker Jack" by Shea Rose is a book about wanting to be "tussled". Cindy Jack has no idea what being tussled means so she decides to look it up even though it will make her late for work. Being tussled means fighting, brawling and scuffling. Why Cindy wants to be tussled is the question. When Alonzo Pier returns to her life as the big man on campus Cindy foresees them tussling one another. While Alonzo is more interested in $5 million from the Health Department Cindy is visualizing tussling with Alonzo. The official reviewer described this story as more of a romance and goofy at best. The suspense and romance of this story often clash but this is a book to be read. Very good review.

I like the review though I'd feel that you had a problem starting it and then the end was quite rushy as you tried to mention quite everything but as i said its a good review
We can feel this stenographer "Cindy" with a pretty boring life but then all of a sudden a ambitios guy (Alonzo) she quite likes who is new to the hospital creates a unique spark in her life and she really wants to be "tussled"😅 by him ("tussle is a name she had come across recently")but she has to keep her female posture so she doesn't really make the move though she's frequently thinking about him and her work mate keeps snapping her to reality... This book should be a everyone must read

I'll have to skip this book for now owing to the flaws the official reviewer found. Thank you for the honest review.

The review brings to light the confusion in the book,whether it's a romance or a suspense novel. I think I am going to pass on the book. Thanks for the review!

I have to admit, I'm quite confused by this review, I don't seem to understand what the book is about. But from my deduction, a little suspense and a lot of romance? I don't think I'd like to read this book
