No, it knocked ME off my feet!

This the second Susan Donovan book I have read in just as many days and I liked this one just as much as the first one. The title is KNOCK ME OFF MY FEET but it's really the reader who is knocked off his or her feet as I sat down and read it every chance I got. I'm not kidding! I actually stopped on my way to run an errand, sat down in the middle of a flower garden, and read the last 3 chapters! Emily Giffen, Belinda Jones and Christina Skye just got company on my list of favorite romance authors!

Refreshing

This was one of the most enjoyable books I've ever read. I laughed hysterically, cried at times and was truly sad when the book was over. I highly recommend this book if you want a love story that's fun and touching at the same time.

Not just another romance novel

I was so surprised when I actually found myself tearing up while reading this book. I don't think that has ever happened to me while reading a fluffy romance novel. I agree with another reviewer that stated the characters in this book really come to life and you find yourself truly caring for these characters - especially Stacey Quinn and Autumn (Audie) Adams. Their story was sweet, loving and downright sexy. The sexual tension between these two took off from the very beginning! Loved it!!

I wished the author would revisit with the Quinn and Adams families - I think the characters are THAT good. Especially, Audie's brother, Drew!

Cute, Funny, Light-Mystery Romance

This was my first Susan Donovan book. I really enjoyed it and look forward to reading more from her. She's funny and I liked her writing style. Although it was a little different to hear each person's perspective throughout without having a break. For instance: in one paragraph you know what Audie thinks, then in the next Quinn, and it can switch back and forth without a break in the writing to warn you.

There's a bit of mystery in this book to find out who is writing Autumn (Audie) some mean notes. I guessed who it was (and another big "shocker") very early on in the book, but was still fun to read. I loved the humor throughout and really had some laugh-out-loud moments!!

Also I really appreciated that the main guy (Stacey Quinn) was not afraid of commitment. That was a first in the sea of commitment-phobe guys in most books. But then on the opposite side of the spectrum, it was Audie who had a hard time finding her emotions. She really started to get on my nerves in the end of this book.

All in all it was a good book!

Pleasantly surprised and emotionally moved!

I found the characters well fleshed out and not the typical cardboard cut outs that so many romance novels contain. I did guess the villain in the early pages of the book but the story line was so much more involved and so well written that the "who dunnit" knowledge did not ruin the book for me. The steamy scenes were there but what sets this book apart from the typical "bodice ripper" was the dialogue, sensitivity, compassion, depth, and vulnerability of so many of the characters. I can't believe I am saying this about a romance novel but these characters came alive for me. I originally chose this book as a respite from the heavy duty, long-winded historical fiction and classic novels that I have been reading. I found myself getting wrapped up in the life of Audie Adams and truly caring for her well-being and that of the Quinn family. These are the types of characters that stay with you long after that last page is turned. I am an instant Susan Donavan fan.

Autumn Adams never planned to follow in her mother's footsteps as Chicago's answer to Martha Stewart--she can't cook, doesn't clean, and would rather play soccer than discuss the joys of white bathtub grout. Then some lunatic starts sending her threats in the mail and Audie finds herself under the protection of simmering, sexy Detective Stacey Quinn, a man determined to examine her every nook, cranny, and ex-boyfriend in his effort to find the stalker. A disarming combination of macho cop and sweet charmer, Quinn is hard to resist. But with Audie's bad luck at finding and holding on to Mr. Right, she think it's best to keep her distance...

Quinn soon discovers that the real Audie is an alluring blend of fantasy babe and tender-hearted female all wrapped up in what he can only hope is leopard-print underwear. She's not what he's always pictured for himself, but could she be everything he'll ever need?

Digging through Audie's many layers could turn out to be the hottest, craziest, sexiest bit of detective work Quinn has ever attempted...if it doesn't kill him first.
