Jane and her two childhood friends inherit a magnificent mansion. It needs repairs before it can be sold, so of course a hunky carpenter comes into play. This story was just what I enjoy in a contemporary romance. Strong women and men characters, humorous, a little drama, but always no doubt o...
Good Lord, I thought Cutting Loose was boring ... well, apparently I hadn't seen anything yet. Everything I wrote in my review for Cutting Loose still stands for this book, but multiplied by 50%, at least. I'm ashamed to say that I think I may have skimmed over 60% of the book.It's too bad too, b...
Oh dear, where to even start with this one? It was barely even an okay read. I felt like every aspect of this book was lacking in one way or another. It was just poorly executed.It basically felt like a really cheap version of the Bride Quartet by Nora Roberts(That series is fabulous by the way, ...
Typical contemporary romance, only one step up from an Elizabeth Lowell book. Typical contemporary romance, only one step up from an Elizabeth Lowell book.
I enjoyed reading this novel that I could not put it down. I love the two main characters - Jennifer (Jenny) Salazar and Jake (Jacob) Bradshaw. The attraction between them was instantaneous and strong. Yet, both of them kept fighting it. Thus, when they finally got together...it was like WOW!...
Tardé mucho en decidirme a leer esta novela porque no conocía de nada a la autora y me daba cosa, sin embargo hace unos días decidí probar surte y wow! Desde que agarré el libro no lo quise soltar. De inmediato Jenny y Austin se ganaron mi simpatía y cuando entró en escena Jake, casi morí de emoc...
J'ai découvert cette petite série il y a plusieurs mois avec le premier tome Un automne à Seattle et j'avais eu l'excellente surprise de lire une romance pleine de charme, écrite dans un style très fluide avec trois héroïnes sympathiques. Nous avions fait connaissance avec trois amies issues de m...
This was the next novel in the Sisterhood Diaries, Poppy's story of her love-hate relationship with Detective Jason de Sanges from "Cutting Loose" the person who found the thief in the mansion. Jason's raised in foster care with his family mostly serving jail time he works hard to make himself e...
Sappy, boring and predictable. The main characters; a stoic, rigid copy and a sassy, arty gal, and their rocky relationship got on my nerves early on. The story unwinds like a Judy Blume book on steroids. By the end of the story I was ready to slit my wrists. The first time in my life I could ha...
4.5This was a fantastic contemporary romance. Treena McCall is a dancer in the show la Stravaganza on the Strip in Vegas. She has recently been widowed, but her husband Big Jim had been sick, so the year they'd been married had been taking care of him.Jax Gallagher is a professional poker playe...
Solid ... 2.5*! Yah, I'm afraid this one was no "keeper"; straight to the PBS shelf where I got it from! This was my first Susan Andersen, and although I did finish it ... it was a chore, not the goal for my romance reading choices (nor the type of book I like to spend a bunch of my time review...
“FREAKING BASTARD,” Ava muttered in the ladies’ a short while later as she repaired the makeup she’d sweated off on the dance floor. Straightening from where she’d been leaning into the mirror to reapply her lipstick, Jane met her reflected gaze. “Who’s a freaking— No. Wait. Cade?” Her eyes narro...
He had the excessively developed muscularity of a weight lifter lacking an enough-is-enough gene. He also looked like a guy who could turn mean as a snake with very little provocation, and that had her second-and third-guessing herself in the suspended seconds he stared at her through narrowed ey...
For a moment she stared down at the bundle of blossoms as if it were a snake poised to strike. Then, with a shake of her head, she slowly bent down to pick it up. There were at least a dozen flowers, and she worked her fingers to the center of the bunch to retrieve a small card. It was unsigned, ...
The great Ford Hamilton didn’t usually instigate a conversation with him unless it was to catalog his faults, but he appeared almost…interested. He must be to have pulled himself away from the dinner party that Jared could hear going on in the dining room. Stealthily sliding the brandy bottle fro...
It was celebration time. He’d just completed his last day on the current job and the next one didn’t start until the middle of the month. So he had a couple of weeks to enjoy the summer weather, maybe go down to Alki and watch the girls in their bikinis in-line-skate along the path fronting the b...
She reclined back on her pillow, feeling depressed. It looked like tomorrow was going to be the day, and Otis would be gone. His rotation at the station began this afternoon. Damn! She tossed aside the covers and slowly climbed from the bed. She was brewing herself a cup of herbal tea when Otis s...
It was a feverishly repeated refrain in Karen Corselli’s brain. She wielded the foaming brush and high-powered sprayer at the coin-operated car wash, applying extra care around the front bumper and the undercarriage of her dark red rented Taurus. Thou . . . Shalt . . . Not . . . Kill. Oh, mercifu...
It fell far short, drifting harmlessly to the old hard-wood floor. “Hell.” Covering the distance to the crumpled terry in a single long stride, he bent and swept it up. Only to have the towel around his waist come untucked and slide down his legs to take its place. “Son of a fucking bitch!” He sw...
“Designated Driver”Flying High!“NO, NO, NO, NO. THAT’S wrong.” Nell nudged Hank’s shoulder with her own to halt his rendition of her song. “That should be middle C, not an octave below.”Her aroma, a pleasant mixture of soap, shampoo and a hint of perfume, drifted through his senses, and he took a...
He was leaning through the driver's window practically before the car stopped rolling. "I'm glad you're here," he said to Sam. "Did you bring what I asked for?""And hello to you, too, Clare," Clare murmured to herself. "Nice to see you. You're lookin' good."Elvis gave her a pained smile. "Sorry. ...
This was the first opportunity she’d had to check the place out since arriving in town, and the prospect of making her initial assessment of the nonprofit boys’ home had a little frisson of excitement slithering up her spine. She locked the car and strode across the pavement to the archway in the...
He was firm as he talked to people and he was polite…except in the few instances where someone attempted to pull social rank. Then his eyes developed a hardness and his voice a certain edge, and he became downright intimidating. In a matter of minutes everyone was gathered exactly where he wanted...
