Beige Couple Has Sex

February 8, 2017 by Classic 2 Comments

This really was not that interesting. Too pretty people having hot sex though they initially loathed each other. I was bored from beginning to end when I was not disgusted by the character of Vaughn. Sidney Sinclair is an investment banker. After moving back to Chicago after finding out her fiancee was cheating on her, she is trying to dip her toe back into the dating pool. After a blah date at a coffee shop, she is asked out by a total stranger who lashes […]

The Title Isn’t That Great, but the Book Rocks

February 4, 2017 by Classic 2 Comments

Please note that I gave this book 4.5 stars but rounded it up to 5 stars here. This was a cute book. Unfortunately I read book #6 first, so I already knew that how this story would end up. I am still glad I read it though. The hero/heroine were great. Though I will say that James heroes all seem to be over 6 feet tall with dark hair. And the heroines always have long hair to their backs practically and wear it in a […]

Very Hot Romance

February 3, 2017 by Classic 4 Comments

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 […]

Woman Keeps Shopping and is Surprised at Debt

January 25, 2017 by Classic 8 Comments

I am glad that I re-read this book, but feel disappointed overall with how the earlier books in the Shopaholic series no longer stand up. I think it’s because I have already read these books and the latest, that I just feel nothing but flat out annoyance towards Rebecca (Becky) and her hare-brained schemes to not pay her bills, to cover up when she’s in over her head, and somehow through sheer luck to get out of trouble. And then somehow is in the right […]

This book should be called DUNCE Road

May 19, 2016 by Lynn Leave a Comment

Oh, Jane. I had such high hopes for you after reading Family Pictures, so I read Mr. Maybe, which wasn’t a home run with me, but I wanted to give you another chance. But I think I might have to break up with you after reading this. You nearly did me in. Plus? Halfway through I realized I’d read this before but I still read it again, and now I’m a little mad at myself. Dune Road is the story of middle-aged Kit, who is […]
