review 1: While I was glad to see Tara and Nick finally take a step forward I had very little sympathy or even liking for Tara in this book. I was already low on sympathy due to the her crazy decision to stick with Brett over Nick (from the previous book). Then her behaviour in this one was pretty awful - she decided she wants Nick- but only after he starts dating other people (as he should after she turned him down. He has waited for her long enough). Then even though she decided she wants Nick she still wants to keep Brett in reserve or "backup" position. Normally when the guy is as cocky as Nick I am on the side of the heroine but in this book Nick has all my sympathy. Tara comes across as a shallow selfish bitch. Then there was the "mystery" of main investigation which was just ... moretedious and boring. I get that it was tedious for Tara & Eddie too, and I'm sure that real IRS agents do have that amount of dead end trips but it makes for very uninspiring reading. So disappointed.
review 2: I wanted to love this. It's part of a series and I want a great series. The humor, the quirk...should have been my perfect match. And I read the other reviews comparing this one to earlier entries in series which make me think I should try another. But I had trouble with the main character. Is she just very young? And the whole love triangle thing is never my favorite, but the fact that she'd string along her good-guy boyfriend until she could snag her badder boy coworker...didn't love it. The plot moved slowly. Also, peach sangria (and G-ride) shows up a lot. I might try the Hairspray one just to make sure I'm not making too quick a decision. less
