I recently finished this book by Susan Elizabeth Phillips.  I loved this book, and I don’t normally go for the overly dramatic, but this one did it for me.  It’s kinda funny–I actually thought Phillips was from the South when I started reading her works (she’s from Chicago), but I think she did a great [...]

Just finished reading this book by Rachel Gibson.  This book was a good, fun, light read.  The story follows Hope Spencer and Dylan Taber in a small Idaho town called Gospel.  I love Gibson’s works because they are almost always take place in Idaho and almost always involve a small town and the typical gossip [...]

Jason and I started reading this book by Dan Simmons in the car.  This story is a horror/mystery and so far has been pretty good.  It’s a little slow and seems to have an abundance of background story to cover before we seem to get to the “good” stuff.  More to come…Might be a while [...]

Just finished reading this book by Susan Elizabeth Phillips.  This book is part of the Chicago Stars series, but can be read out of order without losing too much of the story.  This story follows Molly Somerville and Kevin Tucker.  Kevin’s the Star’s quarterback, Molly is the half-sister of the Star’s owner, Phoebe Somerville.  Molly [...]

Just finished reading this book by Susan Elizabeth Phillips.  This is the first (I think) book in the Chicago Star’s series where you meet Phoebe Somerville and Dan Calebow.  These two are hysterical and the sparks fly early.  I really enjoyed this book and bought the rest of the series anticipating that I’ll read all [...]

Jason and I read this book in the car by L. J. Smith on our way South.    This is the first book in the Vampire Diary series that has recently been made into a show on the CW.  This book was well-written and had an interesting plot line (a brothers’ feud, vampires, popular girls, [...]

Just finished reading this compilation by Fern Michaels, Linda Lael Miller, Theresa Alan and Jane Blackwood.  I’m not a huge Michaels fan, but I like Blackwood and the others I’m interested to see what they have to offer.  I also like compilations like this because they are super-quick reads.
This was a great compilation and the [...]

Just put down this book by Susan Elizabeth Phillips.  All I can say is wow!  This book was fabulous!  It was funny, the characters were interesting and well-developed, the plot stretched a little, but it ended well.
The story is about Annabelle Granger, who runs a just-about-dying matchmaking firm that she inherited from her grandmother.  She [...]

Just finished reading this book by Lori Foster.  I started reading this book a week or so earlier and couldn’t get into it, but I gave it a second chance and it was OK.
The story is about a man, Bryan Kelly, who has recently taken over his brother’s women’s shelter.  His twin brother, Bruce, was [...]

Just finished reading this book by Jane Blackwood.  I enjoyed this book and like Blackwood’s books, but this one had a little too much back and forth tension with the main characters.  In general, I don’t mind some floundering or people changing their minds, but this book was a little extreme.  While well written and [...]
