A workman-like entry into the In Death series

Forgotten In Death by J.D. Robb

Somewhere along the way, I missed this particular entry in the In Death series, J.D. Robb’s long-running set of novels set in New York in the not-so-distant future. There’s a whole cast of recurring characters, and checking in on them feels a bit like visiting old friends. In this particular installment, Lt. Eve Dallas and her partner Peabody are called to a construction site when the body of a transient woman is found wrapped in plastic in a construction dumpster. The site is next door […]

Janet has lost her mojo

Oh dear. Where do I start? Well, let’s start here: THERE IS NO SEX. Also, more importantly, Ranger is in this story 0.0001%. Morelli is in this story 0.0005%. You know who’s around? Diesel. And freaking Wuulf. And Diesel, even though he’s like, number three in my book of Who Stephanie Should Have Sexy Times With doesn’t even have that much to do. And Wuulf doesn’t even have any real dialogue. Here’s there for like, two pages. This was…not good. I’ve lamented Janet’s half-hearted efforts […]

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

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 […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
