(er, her books, that is...)

"If you love Jennifer Crusie, then you will fall head-over-heals-in-love for Diana Holquist's new book, Sexiest Man Alive. Had me laughing all the way to the very end of the book. Loved it!"

"Diana Holquist's Sexiest Man Alive is one HOT novel! This sizzler will have you searching for the ice cubes to lower your temperature. Jasmine and Josh are a couple who definitely will make your heart melt. This award-winning plot is assured to go down in romance history. Very highly recommended."

"Sexiest Man Alive is sweet, sexy, funny and very, very, good. Ms. Holquist's wit kept me turning pages right through the night until the book was done. All of the characters had depth. My eyes misted several times. I laughed a lot. I felt Jasmine's mortification and her triumph. And best of all I believed Josh's love. This book is up there with my favorite Vicki Lewis Thompson titles (and way better than her less-than-great books)."

"Readers who enjoy contemporary romances with likable, endearing characters will not want to miss out on Diana Holquist's "Sexiest Man Alive."

"Diana Holmquist has created another light romantic comedy that will make you laugh out loud in parts. Sexiest Man Alive is not to be missed. I can't wait to spend time with Amy again in the sequel, Hungry for More."

"I picked this up in the bookstore because it got a nice review at Dear Author. When I flipped it open, I noticed that it's dedicated to me! "To everyone who has ever blushed, stuttered, or had their nose twitch like a rabbit's, this book is for you." Okay, I don't think my nose twitches, but I can certainly blush and stutter. Shy heroines are hard to find, so I'm always interested in seeing one get her man. It was a fast, fun read."

"It would be a shame if Diana Holquist's new novel, "Sexiest Man Alive" got lost in bookstore "romance" sections among all of those formula paperback originals with buff bare-chested guys on their covers. Sexiest Man Alive takes the reader into the world of movie publicity and film star career management. The movie star starts off as a dream object — a larger-than-life romantic figure — but the author succeeds in turning Josh into a three-dimensional guy we care about. Holquist makes Jasmine's shyness central to the plot and the result is a heroine who is much more appealing than the usual shoe-worshipping Manhattan career gal in a "chick lit" novel."

"What a quirky, humorous, yet thoughtful read SEXIEST MAN ALIVE is. Okay, so some of it is shallow and goofy, but those things keep the book from getting too heavy, especially when dealing with nearly crippling shyness and stage fright. There are some hysterical moments, strange plots, and crazy characters that enable SEXIEST MAN ALIVE to shine. That makes it one of those lighthearted, well written, cutesy contemporaries that make you smile. And who doesn't want to do that?"

"The Sexiest Man Alive made me smile, laugh out loud and sigh in appreciation."
-DearAuthor.com

"THE SEXIEST MAN ALIVE is a delightful tale of overcoming social anxiety. While Jasmine freezes in the presence of men, she is also a talented designer who must find the courage to fight for her job and to claim her man (whoever he is!). Josh has his own deep-seated demons to overcome and is willing to bargain with Jasmine to help them both achieve their dreams. Deft writing brings out both the humorous and painful emotions that each character experiences, and characters are put into situations that will have readers simultaneously laughing and cringing. Settings and circumstances keep the pace quick and reader interest high. Lighthearted and fun, THE SEXIEST MAN ALIVE winningly shows that love can conquer fear."

"By far the wittiest, smartest and hottest book I've read all year. This book fairly sizzles!"
-Armchairinterviews.com

"Rousing fun and an original storyline makes Sexiest Man Alive one entertaining book that is difficult to put down. Jasmine is a personable woman that this reader felt great empathy for. She is afraid to believe she could attract such a "larger than life" gorgeous man and yet wants so badly to believe. Josh is a super sexy hero that grabbed a piece of my heart right away with his determination to show Jasmine he really did care about her. Bravo, Diana Holquist; this book is sure to be a fan favorite."

"Movie star romances are a guilty pleasure of mine. As much as I love realistic stories, when a celebrity is thrown in the mix, I'll pick up the book. However, Holquist goes one better by managing to combine the fantasy with identifiable, real characters in Sexiest Man Alive. I really enjoyed Sexiest Man Alive. Its subject matter isn’t exactly heavy, but it is lovely all the same."

"Diana Holquist has done it again by bringing fans the much anticipated sequel of Make Me a Match. Fans will be drooling over the cover but remember, that is just beginning of something amazing."

"Ms. Holquist with SEXIEST MAN ALIVE delivers another funny and highly entertaining story, that will keep you glued to the pages because you want to know how the situation between Jasmine and Josh. One never knows what will happen next. So if you want to spend an evening with a funny and entertaining book, than SEXIEST MAN ALIVE is the perfect book for you!"

"Contemporary readers will rejoice with the return of the Burns sisters (see MAKE ME A MATCH) as the SEXIEST MAN ALIVE is an amusing entertaining romance. Much of the zany fun comes from the downside of knowing who your true love is yet unable to utter two coherent words in his presence. Diana Holquist provides a humorous tale with lovable characters enhanced by the paranormal."
