A Very Fun Read With Some Imperfections, Feb 11 2010
By www.luxuryreading.com "Vera" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Double Trouble (Paperback)
"Double Trouble" is the sequel to "Nothing But Trouble" by Susan May Warren, and continues the story of PJ Sugar. PJ returns to her hometown of Kellogg, Minnesota and right into the arms of her high school sweetheart, Boone Buckam. I have not read "Nothing But Trouble" and although I did feel lost when it came to certain details of PJ's life, "Double Trouble" does stand on its own for the most part.
Broke and barely employed, PJ shacks up with her sister, her brand new Russian brother-in-law and non-English speaking in-laws. PJ is convinced that her stellar instincts will serve her well in the private investigation world and is desperate to prove herself to her boss and head PI, Jeremy Kane. While Boone waits for an answer to his marriage proposal and voices concern over PJ's job at every opportunity, PJ spends nights on stakeouts - often with Jeremy by her side.
When Jeremy assigns PJ the job of impersonating Dally Morrison, he promises that there will be no danger involved and that it will earn PJ "bonus points" towards an investigation of her own. Dally Morrison is under police protective custody and is set to testify against the drug lord Billy Finch. Suspecting that Billy has sent a hit man to get rid of her, Dally hires Jeremy to whisk her away to a new hiding place while PJ steps in to take her place. PJ figures that the time away from Kellogg will at least give her time to consider Boone's proposal. Loading up on fake tattoos and donning a black wig, she manages to pass for Dally - or so she thinks. Before long, things begin spiraling out of control, leaving PJ to wonder how much they really know about a woman they are protecting.
Starting "Double Trouble", I was initially put off by cutesy names - PJ Sugar, Rudy Bagwell, Boone Buckam. Getting further into the story, "Double Trouble" did grow on me and I found it to be quite entertaining and fun. Despite the seemingly dark subject matter, the novel managed to be lighthearted and the characters' witty banter kept me glued to the pages. PJ Sugar's instincts pulled her in all the wrong directions and I was taken along for the ride, not even suspecting who the actual culprit might be.

2nd in PJ Sugar series is filled with humor, romance, and thrills, Feb 26 2010
By Christina Lockstein "Christy's Book Blog" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Double Trouble (Paperback)
Double Trouble by Susan May Warren is the second title in the PJ Sugar series. PJ has embraced her new role as private detective, even if her boss Jeremy isn't trusting her the way she'd like and her ex-boyfriend and police officer Boone doesn't think she's up to the challenge. They both have to change their tune when PJ undertakes a case that forces her to impersonate a woman in the Witness Protection Program and is sure that her life in is danger. PJ embraces the challenge, despite the threat of exposure. Warren has created a humorous and smart heroine in PJ who constantly seems to be tripping over her own feet and making promises that she can't keep. The sparks between PJ and Jeremy fly right off the page and will have readers just as torn between Boone and Jeremy as PJ is. Warren's writing is never cliched and she delights in upending readers' expectations. This is one series that I hope lasts for twenty or more books!

Cute and fun read!, Feb 25 2010
By A. Jacobs - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Double Trouble (Paperback)
This is the second book in a series and I really recommend you read the first book before reading this one. I had a hard time trying to figure things out, even though near the end of the book, it explains it all. It could possibly be read alone, but not without some confusion at first.
Once you get into the book though, the characters humor and the way she is always causing trouble for herself will keep you hooked. PJ is in training to be a private investigator, but she seems to make more work and trouble for herself than learning! It is comical to see what happens to her and what she will do next. The character is likeable and she draws you into her world just to find out what is coming next. Some of the stuff is so out there, but you can't help but laugh at her.
Not only does the book have great mystery, but the author throws in a love triangle that leaves you rooting for all the people involved. It makes it hard for you to decide which one you want to prevail.
A great book for all. The humor, witty writing and chick lit feel was enough to keep me interested for the whole book.
