THE MAN FOR THE JOB	5 Cups! -- "An absolute must read! It is fast and witty, and the pace never slows down." Reviewer: Cherokee at Coffee Time Romance ~ * ~ A Top Pick: "THE MAN FOR THE JOB is just fantastic...on a number of levels. This story sparkles with a great romance, gobs of humor, intriguing characters, non-stop action and a cleverly done murder mystery....With most of the story taking place within a weekend house party, THE MAN FOR THE JOB is reminiscent of Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot stories.

Reviewer: Cindy at Loves Romances, September 2004 Full text: Love Romances ~ * ~ "The Man for the Job is a combination of Spillane and Poirot. This fast paced mystery is hard hitting and gritty, yet instilled with a deep romance that cannot be denied. The characters are real and the reader cares about them instantly. This story is not one that can be read in segments; once you turn the first page, you must keep turning until you reach the end. And the last page leaves me wanting to read more of Marie-Nicole Ryan’s work. Bravo!" Reviewer: A. Dee Carey, author
