Licensed for Trouble (PJ Sugar, #3) by Susan May Warren -- and a Contest!


Licensed for Trouble
(PJ Sugar, #3)
by Susan May Warren

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?

What I thought:

Susan is on my list of "must read" authors, so I knew I would be giving this series a try.  I have loved her books from the very beginning.  Her Noble Legacy series is one of my all-time favorite series.  However, Nothing But Trouble was really hard for me to read.  It didn't hold my interest, or pull me in.  Thankfully, I decided to give the second book, Double Trouble, a chance because it turned out to be my fave of the series.  I also thoroughly enjoyed Licensed for Trouble, and am really, really hoping it's not the end of the series.  I felt it ended rather abruptly and that there were a few loose ends.  It would be great to help PJ solve a few more crimes, as well as, find out what happens in her quest to find her "partner" for life.  It was somewhat insinuated at the end of this book, but nothing concrete.  Do you have more mysteries for PJ to solve somewhere up your sleeve Susan?
