Awww, this friends-to-lovers story was so sweet! I'm still smiling and sighing at the ending...
Simon Hunt and Francine "Frankie" Paresky have been friends since childhood and, although each has been secretly attracted to the other since they hit puberty, none has acted on it. Why? Because she isn't a woman who indulges in short-term love affairs and he's scared to death of long-term relationships. But he's started to see her in a different light lately and, even though he's still unsure about pursuing a lasting relationship with her, he feels it's time he finally turned his wet dreams into reality. Frankie is well aware of Simon's womanizing reputation, so she tries her best to avoid getting involved with him. But try as she might, she can't deny her attraction to him any longer. The million dollar question is: can she trust him not to break her heart in the end?
This was a nice and straight contemporary romance novel, with no hints of danger or suspense in it. Sure, Frankie was a P.I. and there was the case she was working on as a side plot, but the story was mainly focused on Simon and Frankie's relationship. I admit I kept expecting something "threatening" to happen somewhere down the road - after all, this was a Brockmann book - but there was nothing like that. Mind you, I'm not complaining. As much as I enjoy a fast-paced action-driven book, I also like to read stories totally focused on the H/h's relationship like this one.
Simon and Frankie were introduced in Kiss and Tell, which was a nice but average read to me. I liked Frankie from the start but wasn't impressed with Simon in that book - I thought he was a bit too shallow in his womanizing ways - so I didn't know if he would be a likable hero. Well, I was glad to see that he turned out to be a more than likable hero and that Ms. Brockmann didn't have to perform a "personality-change surgery" on him to make it work. He didn't remain a womanizer in this book, of course, but his change was gradual and realistic, and his insecurity about being able to have a lasting relationship with Frankie rang true considering the fact that he'd never stayed with the same woman more than a month in all his life. Obviously, when Simon set out to convince Frankie that he was in for the long haul, there was no way she could have resisted him... *sighs*
All in all, the plot and the characters weren't completely original, but Ms. Brockmann's writing kept me fully entertained and turning the pages. And that's what matters most when I'm reading a book. :)

Opening line:"Helllo?" Simon? Please tell me that Leila's there!"
The Kissing Game is a quick, easy and amusing friends to lovers romance that I enjoyed way more then I expected to. Written in 96, its one of Brockmann’s earlier category romances and the 2nd from her Sunset Key Trilogy. Although it could easily be read as a stand alone too.
For the most part this is your straight up contemporary romance, there isn’t any suspense and it’s not a totally original story either. However Brockmann gives us relatable and amusing characters along with a tropical setting and enough of her own unique ideas and quirks that you can’t help but enjoy the ride. She also doesn’t fall too far into the usual clichés required from a serial romance which gives this a somewhat original feeling. With a couple of steamy love scenes (I don’t think they ever actually made it into a bed) and an unforgettable, sigh worthy ending this gave me everything I could possibly want in a romance.
We first met Simon and Frankie in Kiss and Tell as the womanizing brother and private investigator best friend of Leila Hunt. Despite Simon’s introduction as a complete man-whore I liked his character and could tell that as soon as he stopped playing games there would be more to him then initially believed. Frankie also piqued my interest as the bumbling wannabe P.I, speaking her mind, having adventures and refusing to take crap from anyone. These two have been friends since childhood, essentially growing up together and although in recent years they’d started to “notice” each other it hadn’t ever crossed their minds to act on this growing attraction.
When Frankie gets hired for her first real case -looking for the missing heir to a Sunset Key estate, she quickly gets in over her head and through some hilarious circumstances asks Simon to act as her assistant. Initially Simon, an antiques dealer is only after his own interests wanting to sell the furniture from the property. However when the missing heir turns out to be Frankie’s long lost first love a new emotion reveals itself to Simon, that of jealousy. Suddenly he’s seeing Frankie in a whole new light. When she unexpectedly returns what was up until then an innocent game of flirting, everything changes, leaving Simon feeling another emotion for the first time, love. Frankie is of course aware of Simon’s reputation so she tries to keep her heart out of the deal while he tries to prove that he’s changed.
The case leads the couple to Boston with some movie worthy scenes involving the hotel concierge and Simon finding and telling Frankie how he feels before she falls for the missing heir. The ending here was fantastic, just when you think its all neatly wrapped up theres a couple of great twists. I especially liked the moving diary entries.

Not long ago I read the first book in this trilogy and I really liked it. This one was nothing like the other. I won't read the third one.

Good quick easy romantic read

I was surprised how much I liked this one. I love friends-to-lovers, and I also love books when people fall in love with their siblings best friends (I don't know why...). There wasn't a long drawn-out drama; but at the same time Frankie and Simon didn't just one day see the light, fall in love, and everything was amazing. There was a believable amount of angst (although that isn't the perfect word for it).
All in all, it was a really sweet romance. I think my favorite part was when Simon became obsessed with Frankie's diaries, and was compelled to read them. That was so cute!
Anyone who is expecting some action and suspense will be very disappointed in this book. This is one of Brockmann's earlier books, from before she hit it big with the Troubleshooters and Tall, Dark, and Dangerous series. No SEALs, Feds, or terrorists in this one folks! Just a really sweet, relatively short, romance.

This book is the 2nd book in the trilogy. I actually read the first book and listened to this one. It kills me how the MEN in all these love stories have an epiphany of sorts about the women they've been friends with or grew up with or worked with and it always hits them like a freight train I'M IN LOVED OH MY GOSH I ACTUALLY LOVE HER and then they have to go and deal with these new feelings and then they just can't live without her forever and ever amen. Yes I understand it's a book, it's a fairytale, but just ONE TIME I'd like this to happen in real life. Ha!

I liked this one slightly less than the first one. While I did feel the chemistry between Simon and Frankie, I didn't love them together at first It felt a little forced. I also thought Frankie was really unfair when it came to Simon's reputation. He says he wants more and she reminds him of his player past. This after saying to her that he wanted to meet the one that would stick! Despite that, I loved what Simon did in the end for her. It was really sweet and would melt any heart!

DNF. Too much of the "I've loved you since we were young but I am too chicken to make a move" nonsense.
I listened to the audio book and the voicing of the main character was too breathy and ditzy sounding. I just couldn't take it.

Well, I started with book 2 and now I'll have to read them all. A fun read, but I don't remember a book with a man crying so much.

She's a private eye
He wants to help her find guy
And wants sex also
Can leopard change spots?
Both likable characters

Meh. I feel for Simon. He had to completely change his whole way of life, his understanding of relationships in order to recognize that ‘forever’ was a gift not a sentence. I wanted to like Frankie, but I just thought she was so mean. Simon would have a beautiful, vulnerable, heartfelt moment with her and she’d treat him like he was worse than scum under her shoes. I get that she was scared and protecting herself, but the way she went about it was cruel. I also wasn’t a fan of the narrator of this audio. The Englishman with the Aussie accent and the random mispronounced words made my eye twitch. The story didn’t reel me in and the narrator kind of alienated me. All in all, I can’t call this a win.

Suzanne Brockmann's suspense stories are engaging, but without the suspense we're left with very plain, dull language and plain, dull plots. I nearly gave up on this book until things worked out the way they did in Boston (), but except for that little hiccup it was simply an unenjoyable journey from start to finish.
August 31, 2023
The series is just too dated and boring to be entertaining to me now. Not much really happens in the book at all and Simon & Frankie can't even talk to each other which is ridiculous and frustrating to listen to (even just letting it play in the background). By the end, I didn't really care if they were together or not; I just want the story to end.
October 18, 2021
This book had one of the most romantic endings, however that was the only thing going for it. Story and characters were good, just the writing was repetitive. You could cut the book in half and still get the whole story. Became very annoying.
February 27, 2023
I like the heroine but the hero was kind of immature. I have a hard time seeing players as romantic heroes. I’m glad they got their happy ending but the journey was painful, with his inability to communicate or commit.
June 29, 2024
Older book on my shelf, signed by author. Liked it, couldn't tell it was 2nd in a trilogy, but it was contemporary romance, which I don't really care for. It was short, and I listened to the Audible, so it was a quick read and easy to get off of the TBR shelf.

Cute story. One of those "I've known you forever- -oh, no, I'm in love with you!" books. Very well done, of course, by Suzanne Brockmann.

She's really good at this whole writing thing....
And really gets that pull just the right way at the right time for the characters. <3 You'll not regret reading this series.

He's a stalker and a player. He won't take no for an answer and can't accept that his past will affect how she views his monogamy.

Super cute. This must have been an earlier work but I think I’ve read it years ago.

This was not horrible, just really boring. And the reasons they found for conflict in the end were stupid.
January 4, 2022
This book has everything I expect of Suzanne - some dramatic tension, a bit of mystery, great characters, and a beautiful setting. It was a quick and satisfying read.

Review of Kindle edition
This is Book 2 in a romantic comedy trilogy Suzanne Brockmann wrote in 1996 for Bantam Loveswept. The other two books are: Book 1, Kiss and Tell, and Book 3, Otherwise Engaged. The Kindle edition is mostly cleanly edited, with occasional paragraph-break problems.
The hero of this book is Simon Hunt, thirty-six-year-old brother of Leila Hunt, the heroine of Book 1, and his romantic interest is thirty-year-old Frankie Paresky, Leila's best friend.
Like Simon, Frankie has lived all her life on Sunrise Key, a small island near the Western Panhandle of Florida in the Gulf of Mexico. Frankie has no desire to live anywhere else, though she's often had trouble making ends meet. Recently she became licensed as a private detective, and she alternates pursuing that career while also driving the only cab on the island. Simon has made a habit of teasing her since she was a child, and the Sherlock Holmes jokes at her expense have been far too many since he discovered her PI aspirations. But then one day a rich client shows up on the island and offers Frankie a chance to trace down a missing heir to an estate on the island for a huge salary and a potential $10,000 bonus. Simon immediately volunteers himself as Frankie's Watson, partly because as an antiques dealer he is dying to get his hands on the expensive antiques in the mansion on the estate in question. But mainly because he is dying to see Frankie in action.
Similar to Book 1 in this series, the hero has known and teased the heroine for years, and both have secretly been attracted to each other for over a decade. Simon hasn't approached Frankie because she's not the type of woman he can just have a quick affair with and forget--he gets restless after three weeks, tops, with any given woman, and therefore he's always stuck to tourists. Frankie has avoided Simon because she doesn't want to get her heart broken. Due to the case, for the first time in their lives Frankie and Simon are spending a great deal of time together, often in very close quarters. It soon becomes impossible for them to deny the passion they feel for each other, and their romantic journey is both humorous and breathtakingly passionate--and often heartrendingly poignant and tender as well.
This is a great continuation of a fun trilogy and well worth the read for Brockmann fans. For fans of romantic comedy in particular, it is a wonderful treat from one of the best romance writers in the business.

4.5★
The second book of the Sunrise Keys series. I read the first (Kiss and Tell) and liked the characters. Simon Hunt and Francine "Frankie" Paresky were in the first book and I liked them as well as Simon's sister Leila Hunt and his best friend Marshall Devlin. These characters I really enjoyed reading about. I think Kissing Game was a little better though because it had a little more to the plot. Also learning about the other people on Sunrise Keys through Frankie's point of view (who seemed to know everyone) was a nice touch.
Frankie can be a little melodramatic emotionally sometimes. Other than that I did like her. Simon I really really liked. Spoiler (small spoiler) - I loved the journal/ proposal of his at the end. Very romantic stuff. End Spoiler
Overall I think this was a good romance book by Suzanne Brockmann. I've enjoyed reading the two Kiss books (first two books in Sunrise Keys series). I'm not sure if I'll continue with the series. And not much is mentioned in the first two books of Preston Seaholm (hero for book 3), let alone Giovanni "Johnny" Anziano or Chelsea Spencer (book 4). These last books in the series seem more stand alone than the two Kiss books. But I do like Brockmann, so they're a maybe to-be-read for me.

Follow-up to Kiss and Tell Sunrise Key Trilogy 1. Frankie and Simon were introduced in that book, but it is unnecessary to have read it to read this one.
Frankie has known Simon all her life. He is her best friend's brother and she's been attracted to him for as long as she can remember. He's a love 'em and leave 'em type, so she plans to stay far away from him.
Simon has found Frankie attractive for years, but has stayed away from her because he likes their friendship and he thinks she would never go for a casual relationship with him. Now, he can't seem to stop the attraction and he wants more.
Cute, fast read. It was great on a rainy day. No surprises, nothing extraordinary. I've been reading Brockmann's newer books for the last couple of years and I can see she still uses some of the same phrases and character development style. It is obviously one of her earlier books, but still a worthwhile read. I enjoyed this one more than Kiss and Tell.

I have pretty much pretty much felt the same about most of these older books that have been re-released by Suzanne Brockmann. I have yet to be wowed, but they serve their purpose.
This is a fairly typical romance with few surprise. The couple gets from point A to point B fairly quickly and everyone lives happily ever after.
In the previous re-released books, the dialogue has been severely cringe worthy at times. With antiquated words and phrases I have only ever heard my grandmother mutter, it was really hard to get past the awkwardness. This book, happily, had only one of those moments for me. The dialogue wasn't bad at all.
This is one of those quick and light reads, perfect for an afternoon of escapism.
