This was book #2 of yesterday’s “needing some light reading while sick” double header. I picked this up based on CBR reviews because so many of you loved it. Lesson learned: y’all know what you’re talking about. This was a perfect sickday book (except for how late I stayed up to finish it). Lucy and Josh are workplace rivals, both administrative assistants to publishing house CEOs, thrown into the same office after a company merger. The loathe each other, but of course all is not […]
Dear Fake Character People: An Open Letter to (most of) the Characters in Persuasion
And so concludes my Great Austen Re-Read of (Mostly) 2016. This will be my last review in this format for a while, so I’ll try to make it good. This is the seventh in my series of classic book reviews wherein I write them in the form of letters to the characters. I tried to read all of Jane Austen’s books in 2016, and only missed by one. But reading Persuasion is as good a start to 2017 as I can think of, so perhaps ’tis a happy accident (she says only […]
Or Say No, No Is Okay Too
I read this for Romance Book Bingo 2017: New Adult. Yes thank goodness due to the two protagonists being between the ages of 18-30 that this book counts towards that square. Eh. That’s all I really have to say about this newest edition to the Escape to New Zealand book. This book missed for me due to lack of chemistry and dialogue between the two leads (Chloe and Kevin). James does a good job with the initial set-up, but then the book just flounders right before […]
Not Just Another Brick in the Wall
Patty: Serendipity, I tell ya. The fact that we are reviewing a book on Superbowl Sunday – a book where the hero is a professional football player – is prophetic. Warning: I am aware of football; I understand the general gist of what all is supposed to happen, but I am not a fan nor do I really agree with the purported logic behind the game. Katie hails from one of those states where it’s like a religion, so she might have to clarify some […]
Geographical oddities and realistic timelines
The main character in these books is India Burke – the getting it on boss I first ran into in Due South. First off, I love India, because India is a stone cold bitch. Being a bit prickly myself I was so happy that someone thought someone like me deserved the HEA and the romance while still getting to be herself, to be hard and tough. She doesn’t have to take off the black eyeliner as soon as someone wants her. India is a Sub […]
Very Hot Romance
I liked this book. I think there were a couple of things that could have been improved upon (like Ford not being a jerk because a woman doesn’t want to go out with him) but overall liked this a lot. Hot and steamy romance scenes, with two very compelling leads. We had some interesting secondary characters, and a very nice ending showing our couple going forward. Our heroine in “Suddenly One Summer” is Victoria Slade. Victoria is a high profile divorce attorney (the US Attorney […]
