Cutting Loose NYT Bestselling Author Susan Andersen 9780373773046 Books

Three very different young girls, Poppy, Jane and Ava, are from various backgrounds and forged an unbreakable bond in their private school. The three of them became great friends and cementing that bond was an eccentric and wonderful lady, Agnes Wolcott. Agnes hosted teas and treated the young girls like equals. She encouraged their dreams and was a positive force throughout their lives.

Now the women are adults and still the best of friends. Agnes has passed away leaving her estate in their hands with specific instructions on what to do with what. In the process of repairing the worn down old Wolcott mansion, Jane is cataloging some of Agnes' things that are slated to be donated to the museum that Jane works for.

Dev Kavanagh has spent the past years away from his large Irish Catholic family, sailing boats and seeing the world. He comes home to help his family in the construction on the Wolcott mansion, intending to leave again, ASAP. But the future gets jumbled up when he butts heads and eventually other parts *wink* with the intriguing Jane.

Throughout the book the story tended to ebb and flow for me. At times the pace was fast then it would slow down a bit, and then pick back up. But for the most part I really enjoyed it. Susan Andersen is an automatic buy for me. I eagerly await each new book as I am almost always thrilled with the results; such was the case with this one.

Jane and Dev's relationship was fun; the sex was sizzling and the banter between the two, hilarious. Jane's friends are fantastic and as this is the first in the series, I am looking forward to reading more about them in the future two books, the next one being Bending The Rules.

Cutting Loose NYT Bestselling Author Susan Andersen 9780373773046 Books Reviews

She always makes me laugh. Harmless fun. Great for an escape read where you don't have to think, just enjoy.
I purchased this as a gift to my young teenage daughter. She devoured the book in a day. She said it was ok, but still worth purchasing.

For me the best part is that my daughter is reading instead of being online or out causing problems. So for me this was good.

This is the introduction of the trilogy. In itself it's an entertaining book, but followed by the two other books, it becomes boring.

The pattern in all three books is this Protagonists meet, hate eachother, but are inexplicably drawn to each other, after some sexual tension they have sex, it concludes with some near death experience for the protagonists that makes them realize they love each other.

In all three books, the antagonists is poorly written, their scenes silly and boring. I would recomend to stick with the rommance and dump the wannabe thriller aspects.

Read only one book of the trilogy. You read one, you've read all three.

I love Susan Andersen;
I don't usually read overly sexy books, I laugh a lot reading her books, as it starts out them not getting along.....I am always happy after finishing the book as there is romance, not getting along, and ending in love........funny and enjoyable for me.....
I just finished re-reading this book for the 3rd or 4th time, and I still love it. I was cruising through my kindle list trying to decide what to read next when this caught my eye. I started re-reading and remembered how much I loved it and wondered why I don't re-read it more often. I love the way Susan writes, and her characters are wonderful. The bond between the sisters is something we all wish for or are grateful to actually have. As soon as I put this down, I had to go read Poppy's story )
I wish Susan Andersen wrote faster. Another delightful read part one.of the three book series the sisterhood of three unlikely friends who met in grammar school all from very different backgrounds and became very close and
remain so as adults. Together they inherit a mansion and it's interesting contents from a lady they met and mentored them . Enjoy the series clever with wonderful characters. Susan has a real talent for descriptions. And interesting romances.

Jane is a little narrow minded. Raised by self-indulgent actor parents who spent more time drinking, arguing, then making up, she has had enough with amateur theatrics. Her only solace growing up was the escape to wealthy matriarch Agnes Wolcott's mansion for tea parties. Agnes wills her entire estate to Jane and her friends Ava and Poppy. Discovering that the mansion is crumbling, they hire the Kavanaugh brothers to restore the mansion to its former glory. And it's lust at first sight for Jane when she lays eyes on Devlin Kavanaugh, the brother who escaped to Europe and yet traded in his sea legs for a hammer when the family needs him most. But stuffy Jane assumes so many things about him that aren't true, and he enjoys making her squirm. When she propositions him for a no strings affair, Dev jumps at her offer. But soon the two are spending more and more time together and not having strings is suddenly not such a great proposition after all, as she falls hard for Dev and his extended family and he wonders if he couldn't stay on land after all.

As Jane indulges in her affair and readies Agnes' beloved collections for a museum exhibition, items from the mansion start to disappear. What Jane doesn't realize is that she has a saboteur at work - Gordon will do anything to get his hands on the collection to fund his many gambling debts - but just how far will he go to get ahead?

Andersen's first entry into the new series of novels featuring Jane and pals is a fun and romantic story. The constant bantering between Jane and Dev and Dev and his family is engaging and believable. The start of the story was a little slow, but once it reached its momentum, it really picked up. I liked it but had the same old gripe - lack of attention to editing and detail. At one point, brother Bren is described as having three sons - 25 pages later they suddenly turn into daughters. But overall, it was a fun and charming start to a hopefully knock out trio of novels.
