Review:Charles Portis wrote a wonderful story of a time and era gone by and is all but buried. A time when certain manors were expected of people in public and in which our main character Mattie, comes across that at least two of these characters do not agree with her and accuse her as being a run away to try to get rid of her. She is a quick study and uses her "new" manors to quickly be used in a way to help her cause.

Review:A dystopian society. A love story. But, in my opinion I was overall disappointed.
I liked the first book a lot. Sped through it. I understood the rules of their world. The love story was exciting. There was mystery and I was SO curious by the end. From the 3 books I liked the exploration, hunger for knowledge and self-expression.
The bad. The second and 3rd book moved at a glacial pace for me. I was starting to get so bored with everything. My only hope was that some reviews said the endin... Read more

Review:I was instantly hooked on this series after reading Blissed, and I couldn't wait for more! Lindsey was a character I was drawn to from the beginning - I loved her witty remarks and her sneaky match-making skills when trying to get her sister, Nat, and CJ together. Matched did not disappoint! There were parts of this book that pulled at your heart strings and others where you just couldn't help but laugh! I can't wait to read Kimmie's story and see what else is in store for the couples in Bliss... Read more

Review:Well-crafted, taut personal drama that offers interesting insights and kept my attention throughout, making me wonder how it would all actually play out. The heroine is nothing special in herself, but she makes you root for her as she slowly begins to take charge of her life. Read more

Review:Well written and set in a very interesting period of the western world. The people had great difficulties with close interpersonal contacts except with one disabled person who did not give them any response but they all saw different reaction to their tales from him. Read more

Review:I was disappointed in this book. I kept reading expecting more to happen or some big twist to the mystery, but the ending just felt blah! I really like Lord John and enjoyed a few of the the other books/stories he was in, but this one just didn't really seem to have a point to it other than to introduce us to a few characters that pop up in later stories. This book would not have sold on its own merits. Read more
