I like Jennifer Greene. She’s written several category romances I’ve very much enjoyed, most notably Kiss Your Prince Charming. I also appreciate that she often sets her books in Michigan, my home state. Greene’s first single title release from Avon, The Woman Most Likely To…, is set in Michigan. Greene does an excellent job at…
Avon is not publicizing the fact, but Michele Albert was previously published by Avon under the name Michelle Jerott beginning in 1998. There’s nothing nefarious in their choice. I’m guessing Avon wants to give her a new start since her previous books, though well-written and well-received by reviewers (including AAR’s), have not gotten the attention…
Private Investigator Diana Belmaine is hunting for a clever and daring thief when she encounters Dr. Jack Austin. Jack is a well known archeologist, a charmer and one of People Magazine’s beautiful people. Diana is convinced that he is also thief. She just can’t figure out why the sexy archeologist would endanger his career by…
I’ll only admit this once: I read the first ten Sweet Valley High books. They came out when I was in junior high, and I couldn’t help enjoying them at first. The twin protagonists are written to appeal to young preteens, and they are everything an awkward adolescent wants to be. They’re blond, beautiful, rich…
The plot of It’s A Love Thang is a mixture of slapstick and seriousness that never quite jelled for me. However, the hero and heroine are two of the most likable characters I have met in a long time and they made this book a better than average read. It also has one of the…
This book took me completely by surprise. I’ve read mixed reviews for this author’s work (she also writes as Dinah McCall), and I figured that, while Lucky may not turn out to be a DIK, it would probably be an okay read. Half-way through the book, however, I could not believe what I was reading….
When I find an author I’m excited about, I always go looking for her backlist. It’s a very satisfying search when an author has been prolific, but sometimes when exploring her backlist, it becomes clear that an author has evolved into a style I enjoy. In reading Janet Evanovich’s re-write of her old category Full…
I thought I had read some bad books already this year, but The Last Male Virgin blows them all out of the water. With characters as lifeless as cheap paper dolls and a plot that brings new meaning to the word “inane,” it is simply terrible. The plot, if it could be called that, centers…
Consider this a public service announcement to the aspiring writers out there: when they say “Write what you know,” they really aren’t talking about the time you spent temping in an office full of incompetents. Join AmeriCorps, wait tables, take a cross-country bus trip…anything else to gain some wider experience on a shoestring budget. It’s…
Mary McBride’s Still Mr. and Mrs. pulls off a good trick, one that few romances seem to manage: it’s light and funny, and at the same time it packs a hefty emotional wallop. As the book opens, Angela and Bobby Holland are married and deeply in love. They are also separated and headed for a…
