Review:I always look forward to the summers, because I know I can count on another entertaining book from M.K.......this one has a lot of twists and turns that keep the reader guessing....and the setting is the Low Country, a favorite area of mine. Enjoy! Read more

Review:There was nothing not to like in this book. Frankel deals with a difficult subject. She does so with grace and skill. The book is readable but also smart, a combination we don’t always get. Frankel thinks about gender and in-betweenness in a way we haven’t seen much of since Eugenides. Read more

Review:This book had some excellent sub plots. It was an easy read and fairly enjoyable.
The ending of the book stretched the bounds of reason. However, it did provide a different scenerio from most legal works of fiction.
I enjoyed the Alex Cross series. I believe those books were written at a higher level. Read more

Review:I love this author and always enjoy her stories. This one is a bit predictable at times, but also very enjoyable. While it would qualify as chicklit or women's lit, it is a philosophy that we all need to visit now and then. Women, their lives, their families, their loves and their sadness....it is all here and done very well. It is a story about real life issues, but also about resolution, determination and compromise. No one ever has it all and what we do have should be evaluated and appre... Read more

Review:A relative gave me the hardback of this book along with the movie for my birthday, knowing what an avid Austen fan I am since getting my English degree but not having read it herself. While certainly a quick read...finished it on a 3 hour flight...I found finishing it a labor of love to please my relative. While some of the individual stories are humorous, quite frankly this "book club" could have been discussing any number of authors' works. This is rather ironic, because most of them were supp...

Review:This wasn't a very deep book bad not even one that makes you wasn't more but it was entertaining and the sex scenes were as usual titillating and fun. Ms. Day has a way with words and fantasy. Who wouldn't like to be a sleek and green eyed goddess that can change into a cat and be cared for by a hunk like Max. Read more

Review:Reluctant to review Susan Barker’s The Incarnations: A Novel without knowing another of her three publications. This work is so laden with negativity regarding China in all its covered historical periods that I wondered whether it flows from her generic mode of story telling or just what the subject had promoted in her artistic rendering? On completion of the story comes a biographical note: “Susan Barker grew up in East London. While writing The Incarnations she spent several years living in Be... Read more

Review:This was my first book in the Godmothers series. I'm not much of a romance reader, so I don't think I have read Fern Michael's books. Of course, I could be wrong.

However, this one was not a romance book. It was mostly about a haunted?? house and a group of older women holding seances. It was a short read and was just okay for me.

Thanks to Kensington Books for approving my request and to Net Galley for providing me a free e-galley in exchange for an honest review. Read more

Review:The title is misleading, I thought it was going to be about 2 sisters and how they got through a bad hurricane together. Nope. The sisters don't spend much time together at all. They also are stereotypes of the responsible sister and the irresponsible sister. I guess the author thought it was a cool twist to give an unmarried sister 2 kids and the married sister an infertility problem, but it is a sub plot at best. There was really no conflict between them despite the fact that there should have... Read more

Review:ALTHOUGH SUSAN'S BOOK CAN STAND ALONE, READING THE SERIES IN CORRECT SEQUENCE IS A TREAT. SHE FULLY PULLS YOU IN AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU KNOW THE CHARACTERS. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS SERIES TO ANYONE WANTING A TRULY SATISFYING READ.
