"I absolutely
LOVED this book, which is the first in a series by Misty Simon. I term it a
romantic comedy with a side of mystery and I thought it was fantastic. A super
fast read that had me laughing out loud with the antics of Ivy, Bella and Ben,
along with a slew of other secondary characters. In Ivy I found a character who
was real and could be my best friend, she is far from perfect, but someone you
just want to know more about. The push/pull relationship brewing between her and
Ben was a trip to read about and definitely left me wanting more!!! Such a quick
and easy read, I didn't want to put it down because I wanted to see what could
possibly happen to Ivy next!! Loved this book, and highly recommend it to those
who want a chuckle!!!! 5 out of 5."

"Poison Ivy is a
refreshing story with a measure of wit that makes an enjoyable read. I loved the
spirited character of Ivy and the way she and Ben worked together. Misty Simon
weaves an energizing tale that incorporates tender romance and mystery that
keeps the reader turning the pages." - 7/06

"I thoroughly loved this
book. I can’t wait to read the next in the series. Ivy is such a hoot! Misty has
such a wonderful way of telling a story through Ivy’s eyes. I feel as if I know
her. I found myself laughing out loud quite often while reading this book. I
also found it difficult to put down and read it in 1 day. I highly recommend
this book." - 5/06 |

"I LOVED this book. It
was so funny, and well written, and I love Ivy. I'm assuming she's going to be
in the next book, too? And Ben and Bella? VERY excellent read! I laughed out
loud with this book. I haven't done that in a long time!"- 4/06

"This story will leave
your mouth hanging open for more reasons than one. Misty Simon has a way of
making me burst out in laughter one moment and tears in the next. The only
complaint that I have about this book is that I was left wanting more. I
sincerely hope that Ms. Simon brings Ivy back in a sequel, it is just like
chocolate for me; I have got to have more." - 1/06

"Simon sets the stage to
tweak your imagination without the superfluous word count that makes readers
skim paragraphs to get to the action. The clues and red herrings are sprinkled
liberally through the book as Ben and Ivy try to find out who murdered one of
the belles at the ball. Was it a case of mistaken victim? Is Ivy in danger of
more than falling into bed with handsome Ben? The read is fast-paced and
entertaining and leaves you wanting to spend more time with Ivy and her friends.

"Who was doing this to
her and for what purpose? These are the questions Ivy needed answered and sets
out to find them. Take your notepads and pens, the clues are there, we just need
to string them together. Oh, one more thing, you'll enjoy the book!"

"Ivy is ecstatic to inherit a costume shop. It’s the opportunity she’s been waiting for to escape the confines of her father’s house. Sadly, her idea of idyllic small town America is dashed by robbery, threatening messages and murder. Can she get beyond this and build a relationship with the town’s sexpot? With her first book, POISON IVY, Ms. Simon has established herself as someone to watch. There is a healthy dose of humor, and although a tad slow, the story was entertaining." - 6/05 Reviewed by Jessica at RomanceJunkies.com
