Lynn's Reviews:

Nick Fox is no Ranger, but that might not be a bad thing

September 17, 2016 by Lynn Leave a Comment

Do you remember that show on USA called White Collar with Matt Bomer where he was an art thief who worked with the FBI but still kind of ran scams on the side? That’s kind of the premise of Janet Evanovich’s Fox and O’Hare series, but instead of sexy Matt Bomer, we get sexy Nick Fox, and instead of semi-boring Peter we get Special Agent Kate O’Hare. And instead of catching art thieves and staying stateside, Evanovich and Goldberg (who wrote for the TV show […]

I think Janet just wanted to buy a new house

September 17, 2016 by Lynn Leave a Comment

I wanted to like this. I really, really, really did. But I couldn’t. Mom and Aunt both loved it, said it was laugh out loud funny, that Janet had finally come back after kind of veering off there with Stephanie and Ranger and Joe awhile ago. But I just didn’t love it. I don’t even think I really liked it. Sutton (who co-writes the Lizzy and Diesel series) and Evanovich’s new series – because it’s of course going to be a series – is about […]

Mediocre Mismatch

September 17, 2016 by Lynn Leave a Comment

After the disastrous Rumor Has It, I thought I’d give Tami another go, and downloaded the audio version of Mismatch to distract me from the snowbirds and school busses clogging my roads. And while it was better than Rumor Has It, I’m not sure I’m going to download any more of her novels. Short version: Bronwynn Prescott Pierson (really?) escapes to the rundown estate that used to belong to her uncle to mourn the fact that she just became a runaway bride. Wade Grayson, a […]

A stripper with a heart of gold (and a cape to match)…

September 16, 2016 by Lynn 1 Comment

I downloaded this as an audio book from the library. You know I need romance and light fluff when I’m driving or running, and Tami Hoag is on that list of authors where I know the story is going to be predictable but that’s okay, because I also need to pay attention to the road. But this Tami Hoag? It was…not good, you guys. Not good at all. I’ll give you a brief plot synopsis, and then give you my actual thoughts as I listened. […]

The title of this book has nothing to do with Elvis…or the actual book, either…

September 16, 2016 by Lynn Leave a Comment

I downloaded this from the library, read it in about three hours, and pretty much promptly forgot about it. It was fine. Kind of like three buck Chuck. Not great, maybe you need an ice cube or two, and relatively forgettable. Kind of bland, like cream of chicken soup. (There’s a mash up that I don’t think I’d like, though: cream of chicken soup and three buck Chuck? Ew.) J.D. Carver is “a man with a past” who has come to Star Lake Lodge to […]

Ain’t no party like a sippy cup party…

September 16, 2016 by Lynn Leave a Comment

Mele Bart thought that when she told her boyfriend Bobby that she was pregnant, he’d want to get married. It turns out that he did, but to someone else. Two years later, and the wedding is about to take place, and Bobby wants Ellie to be the flower girl. Mele doesn’t want Ellie to go without her, so she declares that she’s attending as well, and bringing a date. The only trouble is she doesn’t exactly have a date, so she makes one up, confident […]
