First, a few words people are saying about THE DATING LIST:
"Smart, witty, sexy and fun. This novel has it all...The playful love
between the characters made me wistful. Plenty of steamy scenes and a
well written story. Her characters have depth and I enjoy the series. I
love having my favorite characters from the other books take part in
this one. It's like revisiting old friends."
"I read all three books in the "list" series and really enjoyed them! I
was looking forward to The Dating List to see how the series got wrapped
up and Jean Joachim did not disappoint. I especially liked that this
story had some unexpected twists to it! A great read."
