Review: More fun and suspension of disbelief
Rating: 4 out of 5

I read the first book and in my review wrote about how you have to suspend a lot of disbelief... that is true in this book, as well.  I find Lacy to be likable and the cast of characters are mostly enjoyable, but they are awfully one dimensional and the interactions very difficult to believe. Also, things seem to happen very fast... I don't mean action packed, I just mean life decisions and relationship issues are made quite suddenly and then things just happen. I'm being purposely vague b/c I don't want to create spoilers. There continues to be a lot of waist grabbing and bicep holding, however these really are clean books - no swearing and, though there are physical aspects, which are kind of cheesy, the books are very PG. I'm not sure of the intended audience, but really they're almost young adult. (I said goodbye to young adulthood a while ago now!)  Also, these are more of the rom-com genre than mystery. There is crime/mystery, but Lacy really is not a sleuth. Things kind of just happen - and then the ending comes very abruptly.So, Lacy makes for an enjoyable read, if you're up for something really, really light and you have low expectations and you don't mind suspending a lot of disbelief and you don't really mind that it's not a mystery....
