Review
"* "Donna Kauffman writes smart and sexy, with sizzle to spare!" (Janet Evanovich). Now the USA Today bestselling author takes readers for a fun, sexy ride, with a gorgeous pilot who knows how to leave any woman breathless."
Product Description
Jake McKenna fixes planes, not people. Compared to an engine, humans are high-maintenance and unpredictable - which is why Jake has zero interest in indulging his sister's request that he play tour guide and rent-a-date to her boss' visiting stepdaughter. Still, Lauren Matthews is nothing like the uptight, reed-skinny workaholic he expected. She's curvy - deliciously so. Funny. Open. And convinced that there's more to her mother's hasty marriage to the local mayor than meets the eye. Leaving her fast-track Washington career is the most impulsive thing Lauren has ever done - right until the moment she arrives in Cedar Springs, Colorado. Everything about sexy, enigmatic pilot Jake tempts Lauren to unleash her inner bad girl and let him take her places she's never been...even as her snooping around town provokes some extremely hostile reactions. At this altitude, losing your head is easy. Trusting your heart can cost you everything...

4.0 out of 5 stars
enjoyable romantic suspense, Nov 1 2009
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Great Kisser (Paperback)
Six months ago her mother married Mayor Arlen Thompson of Cedar Springs, a Colorado resort town. Now Lauren Matthews leaves her job at Capitol Hill to meet her mom's spouse, her stepfather.
The mayor's personal assistant Ruby Jean demands (by crying) her brother Jake McKenna escort her boss' stepdaughter around town. Jake reluctantly agrees although he prefers fixing planes. However as they soar in love, someone is doing things to drive her out of town. Already disconcerted by her mother's sudden marriage, Lauren wonders who and why.
Mindful of Matthew Broderick's Out on a Limb, A GREAT KISSER is an enjoyable romantic suspense with the accent on the love subplot as the mystery never quite gels because the villain never quite seems felonious. Jake is fun as the reluctant hero while Lauren is the outsider causing trouble for townsfolk with her need to know why the mayor married her mom because she doubts his sincerity as a spouse or a politician. Fans preferring contemporary romances with a touch of suspense will enjoy Donna Kauffman's Rocky Mountain tale.

Does Donna think she is Charles Dickens?, Feb 1 2012
By Book lover -Philadelphia - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Great Kisser (Paperback)
I've read other books by this author so I approached this one with a positive attitude but soon discovered that it was way, way too wordy. Somewhere in all of those reflections and all that redundancy is a not-bad story but it was impossible to read every word of this overlong and overdone book. Perhaps Kauffman was paid by the word, like Charles Dickens, and that explains the length of the book....Or maybe this publisher needed more length to justify the more expensive trade version......It's too bad because the hero/pilot was an interesting character. The heroine, not so much, since her back story in Washington, D.C., made no sense. She worked for a senator, picked up his dry cleaning, made his coffee - and she is a lawyer??? This strains credulity on all levels. And I haven't even mentioned the loose threads involved in the story of her mother's marriage, although it is a main plot point.Not recommended at all.
