A book that does not have either what it portends in the title or in the description

Doukakis's Apprentice by Sarah Morgan

May 6, 2020 by Nart Leave a Comment

I still can’t past the name. I’ve read the entire book and I still chuckle like a teenager at Doukakis. I mean. Come on! Doukakis. Hehehehehehe. Anyway this book is terrible.   Plot: woman with neglectful father sacrifices every ambition she has to keep his business afloat because the people that work in the company are also, for the most part, kind of useless. Some of them are useless for understandable reasons, but instead of helping them properly solve it, she basically just does all […]

Outdoorsy Love in NYC

January 17, 2018 by Jen K Leave a Comment

Set a few months after Sleepless in Manhattan, Urban Genie is thriving as a growing business with all three of the co-owners being very busy.  Unfortunately, it is also wedding season, and while Frankie is a genius with flowers, she is cynic when it comes to love, and more than happy to jump at an opportunity to help long time friend Matt build and design a roof top garden when he finds himself short handed. Matt, Paige’s older brother, has known Frankie for years, and […]

I don’t think I’m supposed to be siding with the guy in this one …

January 17, 2018 by Jen K Leave a Comment

Since I started reading romance, I have mostly stuck to historical romance novels with a few exceptions, including The Hating Game and Lucy Parker’s London Celebrities novels which I quite enjoyed.  Despite that, I am still hesitant about contemporary romances but decided to try this one out based on Malin’s recent reviews. I think one reason I am more drawn towards historical romance is that it is easier to suspend disbelief when talking about dukes and earls looking for love (or actors in London) than […]

More New York-based contemporary romance

January 4, 2018 by Malin 1 Comment

Francesca “Frankie” Cole’s parents went through a fairly harrowing split when she was fourteen. Her father cheated with a much younger woman, left her mother as a broken-down wreck and walked out without ever looking back. Frankie was the one who had to try to pick up the pieces with the devastated parent she had left. After a period of mourning, her mother seemed to decide that enough was enough, cut her hair, lost a lot of weight and started borrowing her daughter’s clothes, determined […]
