This book is ultra-lite fiction – good for burning time at the beach or somewhere you may not be able to devote full attention to the story. Not to knock beach reading, however; The Ex-Debutante is a pleasant first-person narrative that will leave you generally satisfied at the end, if not particularly impressed. In her…
Dreams Made Flesh is a collection of stories in the Blood Jewels world. I found the original trilogy one of the most unique fantasy series I’ve ever read, with humor, an intriguing premise, and wonderful characters. So when I discovered that there was a collection of short stories and novellas set in the same world,…
It’s been a long time since I read a book so tiresome that I had to play games to get myself through it. With its colonial American setting, I had high hopes for Black Eagle, but unfortunately, I found myself having to line up Jelly Bellies so that I could eat one every time Black…
Having attempted to read the fifth entry in Janet Chapman’s Highlander Series as a standalone book, I can accurately describe that experience with one word: Confusing. Thinking I could leave all of that series’s history behind, I volunteered to review this, the first in Chapman’s new Midnight Bay Series, expecting to begin at well…the beginning….
The tagline for this anthology is “Three Sisters … Three House Parties … By Three Friends.” Catchy. Don’t suppose, though, that the publishers intended three very different grades as well.
It’s Hotter in Hawaii reads more like romantic suspense than contemporary romance. I found the plot to be interesting, but the character and relationship development are too weak for a recommendation. Cassie Montgomery’s half-brother Dan was a pilot who recently died in a helicopter crash. She believes that he was murdered, but the local police…
I’ve enjoyed some of Jill Mansell’s recent chick lit, so was eager to review Miranda’s Big Mistake. Unfortunately, it turns out that this is a re-release of a 1999 book and, while I didn’t hate it, a few aspects turned me off so that I’m just not able to recommend it. The book features a…
One Reckless Summer is the first in a series set in Destiny, a fictional small town in Ohio. It’s a lovely combination of sexy, fun, and heartbreak, and I look forward to checking out more books by this author. Jenny Tolliver has always been a good girl. She’s never broken the rules, she’s always tried…
I frequently complain about series romances that focus on people who leave their small towns and come back. But I won’t bother this time; even though The Boyfriend’s Back has that basic plot, it’s pretty good. It even surprised me in some ways. JT McNulty hasn’t been back to his small Pennsylvania hometown in years….
Cry Wolf is the first novel of the Alpha and Omega series, though the series starts with a short story that is included in the On the Prowl anthology. There isn’t much backstory found in this book, so I would recommend getting a hold of that short story to make things less confusing, as the…
