BkRv: Double double, toil and trouble

Book Review: Double Trouble by Susan May Warren

Chick Lit | Christian Lit | Mystery | Series Book 2

First Line: N/a since I somehow misplaced my book...









Check out my review of the first book Nothing But Trouble here.

PJ Sugar tries to stay out of trouble in this sequel, but she soon learns that leaving trouble behind is easier said than done. Especially at her current job as Jeremy's assistant for his private investigation agency. Instead of fetching coffee and tidying files, PJ throws herself into late-night stakeouts and undercover disguises even though she has no self-defense moves except throwing doughnuts at her attacker. Needless to say, both Jeremy and Boone are concerned for her well-being. Which only brings more trouble in PJ's paradise as she tries to sort her feelings for her ex Boone, who knows her almost more than she does, and her boss Jeremy, who sees her as the woman she wants to be.

While a fun read, I did not enjoy Double Trouble as much as its predecessor. The characters weren't as lovable this time around. I had expected more from the love triangle between PJ, Boone, and Jeremy since they showed great chemistry in the first book. Boone came across as a tad needier than expected, but I suppose in good reason since PJ did not immediately respond to his proposal. Jeremy, on the other hand, gets brownie points for discussing Roman Holiday with PJ in a philosophical manner. Yet I think both men hardly deserve PJ's attention at the moment since they failed to keep mine.

Story-wise, the mystery was rather unexciting. It was more of a waiting game for something to happen than a whodunit, so not a whole lot of nail-biting suspense. A little anti-climatic for a sequel since I had such great time with Nothing But Trouble.
