About Licensed for Trouble:

PJ Sugar receives shocking news that she's inherited the Kellogg family mansion. Though she has no idea why, the timing is perfect-PJ has clearly worn out her welcome at her sister's house. Unfortunately, the mansion is in shambles, and PJ is short on cash. Rescue comes in the form of Max Smith, a mysterious handyman willing to trade his services for PJ's investigative skills. But PJ already has a full docket with cramming for her PI license and nurturing a growing romance with her boss, Jeremy Kane. Can she take on Max's case without dropping the ball?
Find out more about book one, Nothing But Trouble and book two, Double Trouble.

My Thoughts:

I first read Susan May Warren's work in her holiday novel, "The Great Christmas Bowl," and was charmed by her writing style and delightful ability to pull her readers into the story.

With "Licensed For Trouble," Warren has combined those warm storytelling skills with her unique ability to build a suspensful, intriguing tale, creating a mystery/romance that keeps the reader captivated to the very end. Her characters are sharp and intelligent, and her main character of P.J. Sugar is inspiring as she tries to make her own niche in the world while she struggles with her faith, and her abilities. Warren brings in a sense of family closeness among the Sugar family (even if they are pretty eccentric!). Add in the romantic triangle between P.J., Boone and Jeremy and the sparks fly off the page!

I enjoyed "Licensed For Trouble" so much that I went out and bought "Nothing But Trouble" and "Double Trouble" and read all three books over the course of two nights!

If you are looking for a Christian based romantic suspense, you can do no wrong with this fascianting series from Susan May Warren.
