for Agnes and the Hitman:
******
“A southern, mob-flavored, flamingo-motif wedding provides the richly comic setting for the second literary collaboration between the highly entertaining team of Crusie and Mayer. Generously seasoned with an acerbic wit and graced with a wonderfully original pair of protagonists and a wickedly amusing cast of secondary characters, Agnes and the Hitman is fabulous fun.”
Booklilst Starred Review
“Crusie and Mayer have crafted a bubbly novel … to make screenwriters of goofball date movies proud; amusing banter and surprising moments of poignancy …”
Publisher’s Weekly
“Crusie and Mayer team up again in a comic caper and raucous romance … laugh-out-loud funny … Agnes is a feisty likeable character worth rooting for.”
Kirkus
“It’s like an anthology of awesomeness … [Agnes has] a “can’t-wait-to-find-out-what’s-next” anticipation that keeps the reader involved. I stayed up WAY too late reading this book, and had to stop myself from sneaking chapters at work. It was that bad of a good book.”

for Don't Look Down:
******
“This first collaboration between best-selling romance writer Crusie and adventure-thriller writer Mayer is a rare delight. Mayer's delectably dry sense of humor perfectly complements Crusie's brand of sharp wit, and together the two have cooked up a sexy, sassy, and smart combination of romance and suspense that is simply irresistible.”
Booklist
“Bless the day that Crusie and Mayer sat down to chat, for this collaboration is inspired! All of the humor and irony from Crusie'sprevious books is here in full force, but now it's ratcheted up with a male action-adventure perspective.”
Romantic Times (Top Pick)
“Noted romance/chick-lit author Crusie (Bet Me) and adventure author Mayer (Z: A Dave Reilly Novel) team up [and] the writing is seamless…”
Library Journal
“Plenty of big guns, helicopters, … and light repartee … and it's all in good fun. Readers will be happy to get a bit damp."
