“This exciting tease of a novel will set your heart pounding like the best love affair. Smart, funny, sexy – I loved it!”

-- Pamela Redmond Satran, author of The Man I Should Have Married and Suburbanistas

“Flirting in Cars is a modern-day fairy tale about finding happily-ever-after where you least expect it. I couldn’t put it down.”

-- Karen Quinn, author of The Ivy Chronicles and Wife in the Fast Lane

“Alisa Kwitney’s cross-cultural love story is intelligent, funny and sexy.”

– Thelma Adams, US Weekly

"The romance between Kat and Magnus is, except for the CIA part, true-to-life and achingly bittersweet. Kwitney even gives them one of the sexiest scenes involving two 40-somethings since "The Thomas Crown Affair."

- Debra Pickett of the Chicago Sun Times for Sex as a Second Language

"an engaging and intelligently written comedy--with a few genuinely titillating sex scenes."

- Publishers Weekly for Sex as a Second Language

Sex as a Second Language, Alisa Kwitney's smart, sassy, sexy tale of the single mom who brings in a spy from the cold and warms him up, is funny and emotionally true, a great read!”

- Jennifer Crusie, bestselling author of Bet Me reviews for Sex as a Second Language

Sexy romance with a few welcome twists.

"Less concerned with embarrassing pratfalls for her neurotic heroines than many of her chick-lit sisters, Kwitney still wants them to find love, and not a little bit of sex. The single girl here is Marlowe, a Manhattan psychologist with divorced parents providing her with distant affection and a trust fund. Joe is the NYPD detective with more crime smarts than tact... The relationship is fitful, playful and exciting, then cold and hostile, swinging wildly about as each tries to figure out what game the other is playing, all the while trying to find the killer to boot. Kwitney deserves credit for not throwing out illogical roadblocks, and there’s a refreshing absence of stock best-friend characters."

- Kirkus reviews for On The Couch

"A teasingly good read. Sexy, sassy and a little kinky. A different take on Manhattan life - more handcuffs than cocktails."

-USA Today Bestselling Author Carole Matthews reviewing On The Couch

 

 

"Alisa Kwitney is my guilty pleasure.”

Neil Gaiman, Hugo-award winning author of American Gods and NY Times Best-selling Author of Coraline on Does She or Doesn't She?

 

“Witty, charming, funny and real, Alisa Kwitney brings a fresh voice to Chick-Lit and Romance!”

Carly Phillips, New York Times Bestselling Author on Does She or Doesn't She?

"Sharp, sassy and sexy.”

New York Times Bestseller Jennifer Cruise on Does She or Doesn't She?

"…her search for the perfect boyfriend and the perfect haircolor is delightful. It belongs right up there with all the legally and naturally blonde bombshells of our time."

Liz Smith, Nationally Syndicated Columnist on The Dominant Blonde

The Dominant Blonde was excerpted in the June 2002 issue of Cosmopolitan. See the accompanying article entitled: the babe behind the book. Seriously cool!
