THE TROUBLE WITH J.J.

Deanna Hurst's delivery varies from gentle to exuberant in this quirky romantic comedy. Lovely, determined Genna Hastings needs a job. Her new neighbor, gorgeous star quarterback J.J. Hennessy, needs someone to help him "sand down” his rough edges. He thinks Genna fits the bill perfectly. Hurst's style enchants. Her portrayal of the male characters is subtle yet believable, and she shines as Genna, her friend Amy, and J.J.'s young daughter. All in all, this offering is simply delightful, a fun-filled, tender romp. A.C.P. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2009]
