Exes and Ohs
Beth Kendrick
Downtown Press, 2005
Great Book
The book is very well-written, and very enjoyable. The characters are realistic and lovable, and the author writes about little boys as if she has them (she doesn't, according to the interview in the back of the book.) The book kept me guessing until the end. In no way ...

5 Stars!
I thought this was a pretty funny book and I enjoyed the story. I thought it was well written and it kept me interested until the end, plus it gave me an insight into the fashion industry. I would definitely recommend it.

Out of the 13 short stories, I enjoyed 10 thoroughly. A great way to discover some authors I was unfamiliar with. A great investment.

A Hopeless Romantic
Harriet Evans
Downtown Press, 2007
Unexpected Surprise
This book is everything I want when I read this genre. No, its not a literary masterpiece but it is a FUN read...predictable with enough twists to keep you reading and enough character development to make you care. If you enjoy movies like "Pretty Woman", then this ...

Enslave Me Sweetly (Alien Huntress, Book 2)
Gena Showalter
Downtown Press, 2006
Enslave Me Sweetly
I thought it was great! I enjoyed this book just as much as the first edition to this series. I read it in two settings-only because I needed to sleep. Gena Showalter has a way to make the imagined believable. A very refreshingly different escape from everyday ...

Accidental It Girl

Nothing "Accidental" About It
This book was a true page turner! The story is funny, quirky and made me laugh out loud too many times to count. Chick Lit at it's best.

Everyone Worth Knowing
Lauren Weisberger
Downtown Press, 2006
A Book Worth Reading...
This was definitely just a fun book to read. I didn't want to put it down because I was anxious to see what happened next. The only thing I was sad about was that it ended! Bette has to go from one extreme to the other with her job to really find out a little more ...

Awaken Me Darkly
Gena Showalter
Downtown Press, 2006
Kickin' A** and Takin' Names
Gena Showalter is one of my favorite writers with paranormal romance, but now that I've had a taste of her futuristic romance, she has totally blown me away. I loved her female character, who was strong, sexy, confident and even more sexy, which I think all of us ...

Invisible Lives
Anjali Banerjee
Downtown Press, 2006
Courtesy of Teens Read Too
INVISIBLE LIVES is a sweet and sort of predictable read in that chick-lit way, but the Indian and paranormal twists make it good fun and add a unique element to the more predictable parts of the story.
Lakshmi Sen is a young Indian woman in Seattle with an odd ...

Past Secrets
Cathy Kelly
Downtown Press, 2007
THANK YOU, Cathy!
I have read several reviews of Cathy Kelly's books. Most of them are positive but then there are those who say that this is not important/serious literature. Or that it is nice for a boring flight or when you are half asleep on a sunny beach.
People in her books are ...

The Starter Wife
Gigi Levangie Grazer
Downtown Press, 2006
Fresh and Funny
Laugh out loud funny and a fresh take on the dumped first wife book. Grazer's witty narrative and originality made this "beach read" book, set in Malibu, a delight. I'd watched the Lifetime movie of The Starter Wife without really caring about the characters or the ...

well written character study
Life to Mary is an archipelago of tragedy as one island of loss leads to the next island of loss. Usually this means the death of a loved one like her child, but she muses that it can be less final for instance when she was twelve, her new puppy Mr. Monkels lost a ...
