From Publishers Weekly

The eccentric Russo clan from Criswell's first contemporary romantic comedy, The Trouble with Mary, delights readers once again with their insatiable wit and boundless spirit. This time, however, the Russos share the stage with the Goldmans. Having grown up in Baltimore's Little Italy with a Jewish father and an Italian mother, Annie Goldman feels caught between two worlds and is determined to flaunt her individuality. She dyes her hair a different color daily and drives Father "what-a-hunk" Joe Russo crazy with her curve-hugging clothes. Annie once dreamed that she would have a future with Joe, but her hopes were dashed when he left her to join the priesthood. Now, 15 years later, Joe has decided to hang up his rosary beads and give love another try, but Annie isn't sure if she can trust him again. While the two attempt to rekindle their romance, Annie becomes a part owner of her father's outdated clothing store and an unwilling host to her cousin Donna. Joe has his own problems to contend with as well namely, his domineering mother and her matchmaking machinations. Criswell's dialogue is sharp and humorous, and her colorful characters liven up the narrative. Although Criswell is better known for her westerns, this is a tantalizing tale that her fans will eagerly embrace.

From Library Journal

Annie Goldman and Joe Russo were in love as teenagers; they had even planned to get married. Then Joe became a priest. Now 15 years later, Annie is as beautiful, outrageous, flamboyant and single as ever, and Joe (Father What-a-Hunk) is leaving the priesthood because he can't get Annie out of his mind. But Annie hasn't quite forgiven Joe for deserting her; in fact, she is still furious and getting even is sounding better all the time. Fast-paced, hilarious, and thoroughly delightful, this spin-off from Criswell's best-selling The Trouble with Mary (Ivy, 2001) is a winner that will have fans waiting to see what she will come up with next. Criswell is a popular writer of various types of romance, most recently upbeat romantic comedies, and lives in Fredricksburg, VA.

5.0étoiles sur 5 I loved this book!, Fév 26 2003
Par Un client
I am a fan of funny romances, and I am so glad I dicovered Millie Criswell. The plot has been described by other reviewers, so there's no point going over it again. I'll just say that if you like Jennifer Crusie and Janet Evanovich, you'll love this writer!

1.0étoiles sur 5 Not worth your time!, Nov. 11 2001
There's something about Mary was mildly entertaining. In this book, Millie Criswell took a very iffy plot and dragged it out through far too many pages. I should have just put it down, but instead I kept reading, skipping over pages of trite dialogue and bad story line. The whole premise of the novel was barely believable - nice Catholic boy impregnates half-Jewish girlfriend, girl loses baby, boy joins the priesthood to atone for the sin of getting her pregnant in the first place . . . and because his mother told him too. Doesn't make for a very charming or believable hero. The whole book revolves around Annie's rightful distrust of this former priest. Does she love him, doesn't she love him . . . It gets very old, vary fast. The best part of the book, and the only part worth reading is the opening scene at Mary's wedding. Mellie should have just incorporated into the other book and left it at that.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Froth and flamboyance, with surprising depth, Oct. 5 2001
Par C. Penn "WordWeaving" (Greenville, SC) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
Father Joseph Russo resigns his priesthood, becoming a regular Joe, and plans to sort feeling he's run from for fifteen years. He has feelings and desires incompatible with being a priest, and questions that need answers, especially: What to do about Annie? He knows beneath Annie's surface flamboyance lurks a woman of substance and depth - a woman he can't forget and can't get over even after all this time. Loving her had been incredible and loosing her had been almost unbearable. Now he wants her back. It's time to overcome his practicality and share Annie's unbridled passion.

Annie Goldman, a woman extraordinary in appearance and attitude, believes Father Joe should have been named Father What-a-Waste, because Father Joe and celibacy don't go together. She should know. She's made a career of concealing the vulnerability and sorrow resulting from their time together fifteen years ago. When she lost him irretrievably to the priesthood, she took quite a hit to her self-image and self-confidence. After all, it's tough enough competing with another woman, but does a woman compete with God?

Author Millie Criswell shifts tone slightly in WHAT TO DO ABOUT ANNIE? While THE TROUBLE WITH ANNIE is uproariously funny, WHAT TO DO ABOUT ANNIE? combines humor with deeper issues to create a rich tapestry of emotion. Family, religion, and friendship weave a spell that will hold readers enthralled. Not only are the hero and heroine believable, strong characters, but the secondary characters also add texture, including Joe's mother who mourns her son's decision to leave the priesthood by wearing black, and the spoiled cousin that adores Hollywood gossip. Grandma Flora also puts in several marvelous appearances with rumors of food fights and a healthy dose of common sense. Fans will be pleased with the included sneak peak at THE TRIALS OF ANGELA due in Summer 2002. Highly recommended.
