The Queen of the Tearling: A Novel
The Queen of the Tearling: A Novel

Review:I loved this book beyond measure. I fell in love with the characters, the plot and the kingdom. If you love fantasy, you will love this book! The heroine is strong and smart and just amazing. I wanted to jump inside this book in fight alongside the queens guard. The best book I've read in a very long time. Read more

Anansi Boys
Anansi Boys

Review:I skipped many parts of the book due to repetition and the painfully slow pacing of the story. I didn't care about, or like, any of the characters, gods, or otherwise. They were mean, pathetic, and weak until the last moment and by then, I didn't care. Mean father, mean neighbor, mean boss, mean mother-in-law-to-be, mean girlfriend (used him to annoy her mother but didn't love him). His so called brother/alter ego...mean. I didn't care if they changed. I did like the ghost, however. She was ... Read more

Getting Out of Hand (Sapphire Falls)
Getting Out of Hand (Sapphire Falls)

Review:After reading the first book in the Sapphire Falls series by Erin Nicholas, I was in love--with Sapphire Falls and with the characters that live there. Mason is my newest book boyfriend, and Adrienne is my hero(ine) for taking charge of her life and making dramatic changes in her life, not just once, but twice. My only criticism is not the writing but the format/editing. Change of scene and point of view are at times abrupt with no hint of the change, causing me more than once to have to do a ... Read more

Review:I love all the characters in Virgin River. They seem like old friends whenever I open a book and start a new story. Strong but gentle men who love their women and gentle but strong women who love their man. Read more

Swept Away
Swept Away

Review:Publishers are pulling a bait and switch once again, new cover, new title, new date of release.

"Swept Away" was originally released in May 2005 under the name of "Runaway Mistress", which I loved by the way, but I hate it when publishers try to rip off the unsuspecting consumers. Ms. Carr, how do you feel about your publisher’s tactics? Stunts like this really, really suck!!!! Read more

A New Hope (Thunder Point)
A New Hope (Thunder Point)

Review:Once again, this book just didn't seem to me to be written in Robyn Carr's own personal style. I don't understand why. It's ok, but it's not better than the run-of-the-mill romance books, and hers ALWAYS were!!!! Instead of not wanting to put it down even to do work that needed to be done, I just felt ho-hum reading it and picked it back up when there wasn't anything good on TV. Read more

Wildest Dreams (Thunder Point)
Wildest Dreams (Thunder Point)

Review:Robyn Carr is an author who never, ever disappoints her readers, and Wildest Dreams, the latest chapter in the Thunder Point series, is no exception. With unique characters facing real-life problems while dealing with all the emotions and fears, the hopes and dreams that each of us can relate to, Carr has once again created a beautiful, emotionally compelling snapshot of life in the close-knit community of Thunder Point, Oregon. She revisits residents readers have quickly grown to love, while in... Read more

Redwood Bend (A Virgin River Novel)
Redwood Bend (A Virgin River Novel)

Review:I have read every one of the Virgin River Books....and I had my date circled on the calender when this book came out. Maybe my expectations were too high, because I LOVE the Virgin River Series. I might be in the minority here....but I really loved the books in which there were multiple stories going on and we got to catch a glimpse of all of our favorites. This book focused on two characters and I must say....I did not really like either character. Sure we got a glimpse of Murial and Walt....an... Read more
