The Awakening
Kate Chopin
Avon, 1982
How long have I been asleep?
On the cover page the following sentence caught my eye: "Written nearly one hundred years ago, THE AWAKENING is the compelling story of an extraordinary modern woman struggling against the constraints of marriage and motherhood, and slowly discovering the power of her ...

The Lost Duke of Wyndham (Two Dukes of Wyndham, Book 1)
Julia Quinn
Avon, 2008
Julia Quinn is amazing!
I just had to respond to all the negative reviews about this book. I fell in love with the characters from the beginning and never once got bored with the story. Grace is a sweet heroine, and Jack is fantastic! I even told a friend that he is right up there with ...

I Hate You, Don't Leave Me: Understanding the Borderline Personality
Jerold J. Kreisman, Hal Straus
Avon, 1991
Don't believe the cynics...
If it wasn't for this book, I would have never knew what the hell was wrong with me. I didn't understand by standard depression therapy and medications weren't working and I didn't understand why (still don't) my relationships always seemed so shallow. I recommend you ...

Jeaniene Frost
Avon, 2007
for any buffy fans
I picked this book up on a whim, and very glad i did.
It was a very enjoyable read. I reminded me of buffy with a twist.
I thought the characters were well developed, story line was good.

Duchess By Night
Eloisa James
Avon, 2008
Delightful!
After a bit of a "slump" with mediocre romance read for the past month, "Duchess by Night" reaffirmed my faith in the genre. I've never read Ms. James' novels before, but I will definietly be looking for more of hers to see if they're as fun and satisfying as this ...

Three Nights of Sin
Anne Mallory
Avon, 2008
A rare treat
Truthfully, I'd given up reading "romance" novels this year due to my huge disappointment the last couple of years, not only with my favorite romance authors, but in other genres as well.
Then I stumbled across this lovely book by Anne Mallory and took a chance, ...

The Pact: A Love Story
Jodi Picoult
Avon, 2006
Amazing story of love
This is the second book I have read from Picoult and have to say that she is an amazing author who has the ability to make a reader feel like they are directly involved with the story line. The ending was quite surprising and not what I had expected at all. A very ...

In Bed With the Devil (Avon Romantic Treasure)
Lorraine Heath
Avon, 2008
Enjoyable Victorian romance
So. Another paperback with a picture of a woman whose clothes appear to be falling off, a manly man whose clothes have already fallen off, author's name and title written in a curly font, pastel background colours and a cheesy title. Nothing unusual here, dozens of ...

Not Another Bad Date (Avon Romance)
Rachel Gibson
Avon, 2008
I adored this book!
Total fluff, but what else can you expect from chick-lit? It's not a serious book by any means, but that's what I loved about it. If I wanted serious, I would turn on the news.
Zach and Adele dated in college until Zach's ex-girlfriend turned up pregnant and he ...

Map of Bones
James Rollins
Avon, 2006
adventure galore
I just completed reading this book and it is a great read. I would have read it much faster if my freetime had permitted. I never wanted to put the book down. I can't wait to read the books that the author used to gather the facts used in this book! I will not tell you ...
