Predictable and too short. And a little unbelievable with the insta-love. Otherwise cute for a very short novella

On His List by Wendy Sparrow 2.5★
This is a very short novella. The setting is in San Francisco, which I liked because I'm from Southern California and have visited San Francisco a few times. The timeline is a very short two days. It all begins nicely with Remy substituting as a chauffeur for her brother. For one day she drives gorgeous Owen Savoy around. There is an attraction between the two. But because this is such a short story, we are left with just a promise of a possibility of a HEA. This is steamy and sexual without the characters ever having to make love to create that atmosphere.
This would be a clean 4 star book but Remy got a bit annoying with her wishy washy insecurities. Owen I liked, even if he almost was bordering on the excessive OCD. And though it wasn't much of a HEA finish, I liked the ending and the promise of a happy beginning.
A cute short read. I wished there was more but still enjoyed it. (I got this from Netgalley. My thoughts are my own).

Just an ok read. The other two books in the series that I read (kiss...) are better. Engaged was just to predictable and cliché.

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.
