This is a basic, easy-reading story but it is not spectacular by any means. The word bland comes to mind, but that’s because I was looking for a love story here and just didn’t find it – at least not between a man and a woman. Nick Egan returns from the dead to throw the…
A Man for Megan has definite possibilities. It has a genie, magic, and of course, three wishes. For me, though, the story didn’t live up to its possibilities. Megan Kelly buys a crockpot at a garage sale and discovers a genie inside. He has been cursed to serve 2,000 masters because he ticked off the…
By the Book is one of the last Loveswepts, and it is mostly entertaining. It is something of a Cinderella story, and anyone who has ever felt as though they are taken advantage of for their good nature will see themself in this book. Ellen Webster is a bank teller, and she’s way too nice….
Whatever else a book has to recommend it, I personally never trust a book in which the heroine is described as having long legs, “that look like they started at her neck.” Not only is this a physical impossibility, it is horribly cliched and reminiscent of the dark ages of romance.

There are really three lead characters in Jennifer Crusie’s Anyone But You – Alex, the 30-year-old doctor with a penchant for Daffy Duck shorts, Nina, the 40-year-old divorcee who left her first husband because she no longer wanted to be a “Country Club Wife,” and Fred, the sad-eyed, bad-breathed, Oreo-chomping dog who brings them together….
With a title like Cause for Alarm, Erica Spindler’s newest suspense novel almost seems destined for life on the silver screen, or at least on the small screen as a T.V. movie of the week. If it ever does receive a second life in one of these incarnations, I recommend skipping it. The book has…
This is a cozy, comforting book without a lot of suspense (there’s some at the end) that’s just perfect book to curl up with in front of your Christmas tree and fireplace. Even though it’s not a thrill a minute, it’s a very enjoyable story that will keep you reading. Georgia Enright is a ballerina…
This is one of those books that has a promising start and some interesting characters. And then it happens. Just when the hero and heroine are growing closer, they suddenly forget how to talk. Then when it becomes most important, they can’t bring themselves to say the “L” word. Another promising book gets derailed. In…
Inspirational novels can be difficult to review. You can’t exactly give a novel a lower grade simply because you don’t agree with the beliefs of the author. As you might expect from an inspirational novel, the crux of this novel is a spiritual conflict. The hero has rejected God, and the heroine feels compelled to…
