Lädt ... Get a Cluevon Jill Shalvis
   Jill Shalvis books (17) Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  ftbooklover | Feb 10, 2023 |   Verdict: Eh, so-so. I liked all the characters a lot, the mystery was actually pretty good, the setting fantastically created. The sex scenes were steamy. But the main character, Breanne... I got thoroughly tired of reading her declarations of "no more men" while simultaneously jumping into Cooper's arms, or bed, or climbing him like a tree, or pulling him into a convenient closet. I have a low tolerance for hypocrisy and she was drowning in it. I'll definitely read Ms. Shalvis' work again though; there was definitely enough to like to try again. (  ) murderbydeath | Jan 22, 2022 | However, when Breanne arrives at her honeymoon destination in the middle of the snowstorm or the century, she finds Cooper Scott already in the honeymoon suite. Things get worse from there. The power goes out, the staff is weird, and Breanne discovers a dead body in the wine cellar. Cooper is a cop who had quit his job after burning out, but he is still investigating this crime. Only everyone except Breanne and himself are very suspicious characters. Between falling in love with Breanne and dealing with the crime, his time is full. Breanne is falling for him too but is in major denial about any possibility that this is more than a vacation fling. The sex scenes are hot and frequent but convincing Breanne that they are more than a fling is an ongoing problem. I liked Breanne's quotes from her Palm Pilot that began each chapter. The Palm Pilot being the only indication that the book was written in 2005. The romance was interesting. The mystery was also interesting and kept the plot moving. (  ) kmartin802 | May 29, 2021 | (  ) wyldheartreads | Jun 20, 2019 | 3.5 Stars Breanne Mooreland has had the worst day of her life. Her fiancé left her at the alter, the airline lost her luggage and there is a strange yet sexy naked man in her honeymoon suite. To top it all off, Breanne stumbles on a dead body and the sexy stranger is a cop ... The quirky characters, steamy romance and modest mystery make this a surprisingly entertaining read. Breanne and Cooper have amazing chemistry and their scenes together are hot and spicy. Nevertheless, their instalove romance requires a healthy dose of suspension of disbelief and Breanne is often clingy and freaks out at the slightest provocation. Cooper, on the other hand, is simply gorgeous. The secondary characters are endearing although their constant sexcapades make the resort seem more like a brothel. Once the murder victim is discovered, it becomes difficult to see any of them as a killer, which makes the resolution predictable. All in all, a cute read for anyone in the mood for something light and fun. ( ) Lauren2013 | May 24, 2018 | keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Get a Clue is a very light romantic suspense with quirky characters and a cute romance. The two leads are very likable, but each is dealing with life altering trauma. Many of their problems, however seem fairly easy for them to overcome. Some of the dialogue in this story is cringe-worthy and the humor forced, taking some of the fun from a plot that is obviously meant to be more of a romance than suspense. Most of the characterization is weak and the mystery is easily solved, but the story does have it's moments and the steamy scenes are well written. Overall, Get a Clue would be enjoyable to read in front of a cozy fire or on a warm beach. (
