Every year I say, "This is my year". So: this is my year! (Maybe.)

Lynn's Reviews:

The Snooze Inn

Seabreeze Inn by Jan Moran

by 4 Comments

No sex. Again. I wonder if my library algorithm is off now. If so, that’s disappointing. Does this mean I need to download something extra smutty to get me back on the right track? When Ivy’s husband Jeremy dies, she discovers that they are broke, and worse, he spent their retirement on a dilapidated beach house in Summer Beach, California. Fast forward a year, and Ivy is living in a rented room in a professor’s house in Boston, broke and desperate to sell the house. […]

Dawson moved to the beach

The Beach House by Rachel Hanna

There is no sex in this book. Well, off screen there is sex if you count Julie’s husband and his mistress knocking boots in a condo in Boston, but Julie never gets to do the horizontal hanky panky with Dawson (really? DAWSON???). Instead, there’s a couple of chaste kisses in the epilogue. Rach, if I’m going to read a trashy romance novel, I want some, you know, romance. And s-e-x. Just before Julie and her husband are set to sell their Atlanta area home and […]

Let the sun set on this one…

Sunset Bay by Susan Mallery

by Leave a Comment

Well, I wanted my first review of the new year – and hopefully not my last because I swear this time I’m going to stick with it* – to be The Tender Bar, but I’m not quite done reading it yet. Sunset Bay snuck in because it’s on my Kindle, which means I can read it in the dark when I wake up in the middle of the night and not wake up the husband, who gets cranky when I turn on the light at […]

A meh from La Nora

Hideaway by Nora Roberts

by Leave a Comment

Sometimes, when I think I’m busy, I think about Nora Roberts, and I realize that there is no way I can possibly be as busy as she is. This woman has written approximately eleventy billions books, and Hideaway is her latest. Normally, I like Nora’s stand-alone novels. Yes, they’re predictable in that Nora-esque way, but they’re like watching an episode of Law and Order. You know the characters, you know pretty much what’s going to happen, the details don’t exactly matter because the basic framework […]

Big disappointment

Big Summer by Jennifer Weiner

by 1 Comment

It’s been awhile since I’ve read a Jennifer Weiner book, and I remember liking her. So when I saw Big Summer available online at the library, I snapped it up without reading the blurb. It was a quick enough read – I probably spent a few hours over the course of a couple of nights and a lunch break – but I didn’t love it, and it didn’t really feel like a Jennifer Weiner book. So much so that I stopped reading and went back […]

I’m a bit surprised Rex is still alive. What’s the lifespan on a hamster?

Fortune and Glory (Tantalizing Twenty-Seven) by Janet Evanovitch

by 4 Comments

(I’m back. I failed miserably at CBR12. My last review was about a week before, you know, The Great Quarantine. At first I thought it would be great, that I would have all kinds of spare time to read and write reviews and that would be the year that I really crushed it. Except no, cause that’s not how life works when you have four teenagers and a puppy in your house. All the time. And they never leave. And you can never leave. And […]
