A VIP body pickup turned into a mess is always an interesting topic, add a love triangle and a brother with debt collector problems and we have a page turner. I still don't like Peter he's a dink that needs to go find some other rich chic. I feel that Coop got the short end of the stick in the ro...
This book leaves you hanging. Numbers 4, 5 & 6 are really one long book. They are good, just don't expect anything to be resolved at the end of #5 or #5. "Ever had one of those days? "A surprise visit from her father--who's on the run from the law--has given Carlotta Wren a lot to think about...
I have to admit that I jumped into book 5 not realizing that the murders had begun in a previous book and they are not solved in this one either, they go into book 6. I'm not one for mysteries that go unsolved through a series of books; I like the mystery solved by the end of the book I'm reading...
Oh the cliffhangers!!!! I had the pregnancy figured out, the question what will the father do remains! And Carlotta!! Up until this book I had no idea which man to choose for her, I can now eliminate one. Peter is not a good fit, he doesn't give the tingles or make her heart hammer. All that is l...
This book was a mixed bag. Parts of it were quite entertaining. The main plot about the suspicious death of a celebrity socialite was fun and involving - exactly the kind of light mystery I was hoping for. The aspect of some of the characters being body haulers was unusual and added a different t...
If this book hadn't been a free Kindle download, I'd want my money back. Truthfully, I was expecting a novel, not a short story and it is a very short, short story -- more of an outline -- to set up a future trilogy of stories about the recovery of the town that is central to this, uh, outline.U...
This book is the second in Mojo, Louisana Mystery Series and I loved it. I had read the first book which helps a bit in reading the second as it does reference some things from it.Gloria Dalton, decides to move to Mojo to get a fresh start on life. Little did she realize that her first day in her...
Honestly, I was expecting this story to be awful based on other reviews I read. But I thought it was well written and well formatted. It did exactly what it was supposed to do… whet my appetite for the upcoming series.I’ve gotta say, this was the best short story I’ve ever had the pleasure to rea...
It's possible I liked this story better than the first. Thanks to the Witness Protection Program, Gloria has plenty of secrets to hide. Chance brings Zane, her beloved boyfriend from her old life, into her life. She's changed so much about herself that he doesn't recognize her even though losing ...
First in a mass market romance series so you expect the hunk of a guy and the intelligent, insecure gal. Silly misunderstandings. A "Here Come the Brides" set improbably in 2011. I debated using the medical tag but couldn't bring myself to do it, though a thread of the book has "the guys" not wan...
Fluffy romance read. Supposed to be funny, the humour for me mainly comes from the fact this book is almost a parody of itself. The main female character is unlikeable, the man she "doesn't want anything to do with" but sleeps with whenever possible is boring and beyond his muscles I don't know ...
I have to agree with some of the other reviews on this one. It was a major disappointment. After all the laughs with Porter and then this one, it was a let down. I know that Kendall is the serious one, but please, too much emotional drama! It definitely needs lighting up and you would think t...

The Southern Roads series is typical Stephanie Bond. Enjoyable reading, characters you get to know and care about. It is fun to see how each brother changes from one book to another.I give them 3 stars, not because I think they are not well written or don't have compelling characters, but becau...
not my favorite...wouldn't recommend Very cute book, loved all the characters, and I am adding the others in this to my wishlist.
A fairly good quick light read. Cute and funny! Can't wait to read all three!
This my first Stephanie Bond novel that I got free as part of set through Kindle. It was humorous with enough chemistry and heat thrown in to make the mystery worth while. I loved the characters and the writing that I was chuckling quite a few times. I had an idea from the start who the "bad p...

The weirdest thing happened when I got to the end of this book - I discovered "Questions for Discussion. As if this was some deep book that book clubs would be ordering by the dozen.

OK, so this is Chick Lit. No redeeming mystery elements at all. The group of car-pooling friends retire to a bar at one point to try to figure out the case, ala Women's Murder Club, but aside from having a little too much to drink and a bit of a bonding session, they don't make any progress on t...

A great romantic comedy by SBWhat I like most is the 3 kids, they are very real - with real problems - very cute, as kids of 3,6,9 years old can be.It is fun to see Jo, an independent businesswoman who knows nothing about kids, forced to take care of 3 kids, then pretend to be their mother in ord...

Late on her first day back—minus ten points. “Welcome back.” Carlotta turned and manufactured a smile for Lindy Russel , her boss, who was standing with arms crossed. “Thank you. It’s good to be back.” Lindy pursed her mouth. “Too bad you couldn’t make this morning’s staff meeting.” Carlotta’s sm...
She buzzed me up and answered the door wearing a marabou-trimmed leopard-print peignoir with matching headband and shoes. She held a drink in her hand and wore no makeup, which startled me for a moment because I’d never seen her other than perfectly coiffed. “There’s my Angel,” she said, scooping...
But she spied another car in the parking lot—a pewter-colored BMW—and smirked when she saw Luke emerge and hurry in her direction, smothering a yawn. She had to give him points for getting up with the birds to start trying to win her over. It was a frosty, still morning, cold enough to sting her ...
Sidney said. “If people want a picture of Coma Girl, let’s give them a good picture. I brought my makeup kit and a head scarf to cover up that hideous bandage. Then we’ll have something to push out into your social media streams. I ran this by David, and he thinks it’s a great idea.” Wow, my sist...

To predict his husbandly behavior, divide by two. FROM HER SEAT at the end of the lab table, Piper fidgeted, watching the chances of getting her bonus soon dwindle as Ian moved from the cocoa-raspberry mousse to the transparent chocolate tart with no comment.

I nodded, surprised that he remembered. “Are your parents stil in good health?” He smiled wide. “Oh, yeah. My mom is as sassy as ever, my dad just happy to have me back in the business. He’s pushing me to expand the stables in a big way.” “I thought you were retired,” I teased. He laughed. “DeMos...
“I’m trying to reach Wes, but he’s not answering his phone.” “I’m sorry, but I don’t know where he is.” The young man emitted a groan and she pictured him hitting himself on the head. “We’re really shorthanded at the morgue. I’m on a commercial pickup now, but I have a residential job after this ...
You won’t regret it. I’ll touch base again next week.” David Spooner stabbed a button on his phone, then hooted. “We did it, Sid. You, pretty lady, are booked as a guest on The Doctors!” She exclaimed her delight, then from the smacking and moaning, I assumed they were either licking each other o...
Alan asked for the eleventh time. Pamela jerked her head toward him, then lowered her ninety-nine-cent white sunglasses. “No.” “You look cold.” “Then stop looking.” She leaned her head back against the plastic chaise lounge that suspended her several inches above the wet, white sand of the beach....
At the last second she decided against it, thinking if she confronted Chad and he owned up to it, no one would be the wiser. Resolved, she conjured up a smile reflective of her earlier anticipation, and opened the door. She was greeted by the largest bouquet of wildflowers she'd ever seen. Laughi...
1 ELLIE SUTHERLAND opened her mouth to speak, but the sound that emerged was more like a croak. “I’m fired?” Her supervisor, Joan Wright, coughed lightly, then leaned forward to rest her elbows on the desk. “Not fired. With the new budget cuts, I’m afraid we have no choice but to let you go. In o...
Chance said, counting out the bills. “And three grand for me.” He grinned. “Man, that was one marathon game.” “Yeah,” Wes agreed, leaning over to the stuff the wad of bills into his sock.

Possibly he was just slightly overwhelmed, like she was. Happy. Excited. Not saying goodbye. Please, don’t let him be saying goodbye. But somehow, deep down, she knew he was. She didn’t know why, but she sensed the change in him. Maybe it was because they’d come to the end of the adventure. They’...
I’m sure he’s the one who’s been leaking photos to the tabloids, and I feel betrayed. Because I want to enjoy the poetry without feeling like I’m being exploited in exchange. Sure enough, he locked the door before he came to sit beside our beds. “Summer’s fading,” he said....
