Critic reviews

"Jamise has done it again! A juicy, compelling read, not to be missed." (Brandon Massey, author of Within the Shadows)

Crazy!

This was good but weird at the same time. I could never understand why a woman would fall for a guy like she did, only to be left with nothing but drama and a headache. Definitely, a lesson learned for all single women to do their homework before getting too deeply involved with a man.

Pleasantly surprised

i was a little leery about this purchased. How I was pleasantly surprised. The narration is the best I have heard so far, and the story line kept me wanting more!

This book was better than I remember!

I read this book back when I was in high school, I think it was 2005 or 2006, but I loved it then and its even better now. I did not want to stop listening. At one point I felt like a character in the book. It felt as if someone was telling me this story as if it was true.

Loved It

Highly enjoyed. Such a great read. I have recommended to a few friends. Read it, you won’t be disappointed.

Journey

This was a slower starter. HOwevewer, it did grab my attention and I enjoyed it. The ending was rather perdictable but the journey was good.

very exciting read

What made the experience of listening to Pushing Up Daisies the most enjoyable?

don't want to give too much info,this was 1st book i purchased online and i was very pleased, the narrator was great, she gave the characters life, and excitement.

Ok

I really liked this book and would recommend it. It had a great storyline and sexual storylines. I would have given it 5 stars if the author hadn't used God's name in vain. You don't have to use "GD" to have a great book.

I like how it touched on real life experiences and I'm glad it had a HEA. I knew Giggie would get with Thomas.

excellent

kept my attention the whole time. very reakiatuc story line and the narration was amazing

Entertaining story

This was an enjoyable story with a lot of twist and turns. The only thing that I thought was odd (*spoiler alert) was when they were in the courtroom and her sons grandparents lawyer did not object anything to the opposing council. It made no sense, one he’s a lawyer, two I’m assuming, a top lawyer since the grandparents had money. Even if you can’t win the argument you still object to anything that can hurt your client and can possibly be thrown out.

nice listen

Great story, nice delivery. I really enjoyed the story line, it captured my attention from the start, and held it until the last syllable.
