Humor & Satire
Review:Full disclosure--I adore Penny and pretty much everything she writes. I am always thinking that maybe I won't like one of her books as much as the last one, but it's never the case. Every damn time she surprises, delights and makes me think.
I was worried about Marie's book because I felt the least kinship with her, but boy oh boy was she a fabulous character. Such a smart, driven, and flawed woman. I love Marie.
I also love Dan, phew, who wouldn't?
I hope you pick up the whole series i... Read more
Review:This book was over too soon! I absolutely love the Winston brothers series. Actually, I love all of the books written by Penny Reid! I love that her characters are funny, quirky and flawed, with real life problems and issues. Cannot wait for the next in the series! Read more
Review:In my late teens and early twenties Margaret Atwood was one of my favorite writers.... and then she got weird. I just finished reading her new book The Heart Goes Last. How disappointing. None of the characters were likeable and the story was both far fetched and kind of raunchy in a "gross-why-am-i-reading-this?" sort of way. Don't waste your time or money. Read more
Review:This story had everything. There were times when I laughed and then stopped and wondered if it was supposed to be funny and that was the beauty of the author's storytelling. One of the main characters, Christopher, is a self-proclaimed bad guy who murdered when he felt it necessary to protect his own. The other main character, Snow, is a 21-year-old young man who was living on the streets after leaving his hometown for self-protection. When Snow sees a young boy in an alley being tormented b...

Review:A couple of weeks ago, when the Romance Writers of America RITA® nominations were announced, I was about halfway through reading The Welcome Committee of Butternut Creek, by Jane Myers Perrine, and I was delighted to see it listed as a nominee in the category Novel with Strong Romantic Elements. I looked for it first in the Inspirational category, because it was published by Faith Words, the Inspirational Divison of the Hachette Group. But I think the book is right where it belongs.

Review:I love sports/hockey romance and I love second chance romance. Helena Hunting did a fantastic job bringing both of these romances into The Good Luck Charm! I loved that this one had the perfect mix of emotion and humor.
Lilah and Ethan dated in high school. They were in love and it was serious. That is, until Ethan left her to focus on his professional hockey career. Lilah has stayed in town and stayed close to Ethan's family. Now, it's 8 years later and he's back. The attraction is still... Read more
Review:The main character was a scheming, deceitful, unlearned, hick but the author was immensely successful in making her likable. I found myself rooting for her to succeed- and was even charmed by her antics.
I wish that there wasn't a happily ever after, because I would definitely read the further adventures of Phoebe. Read more
Review:This was an all around awesome love story! I was sad to see it end but thoroughly enjoyed it! Brooks was such a different kind of billionaire that it was refreshing to read about his character. Georgia's mishap on their date was hysterical and I fell in love with them as a couple. Best love story i have read in quite a while--AND i read every day. I'm really looking forward to the other books in this series with the supporting characters from this book. Read more

After 2 months of trying they are successful but will their relationship so end or get hotter. Loved the story Read more
Review:My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She’s Sorry quickly became one of my favorite books of all time. Britt-Marie Was Here showed me why. Backman is a master of character development and the character driven story, and he weaves those stories delicately, pulling the readers along with their need to know what happens to these people he has brought into their lives.
