The Seduction of the Crimson Rose
Lauren Willig
Dutton Adult, 2008
Most interesting leads yet
+ Crimson Rose
+ Intriguing Series Continues
From reading other reviews, it seems that a lot of people are disappointed with the leads, Mary and Vaughn, because they aren't immediately sympathetic, in that they don't value romantic, sentimental expression over everything else. As Willig herself notes, these characters draw instead on a ...

1st to Die (The Women's Murder Club)
James Patterson
Grand Central Publishing, 2005
James Patterson 1st to Die
+ Ist to Die
+ Good Read
I love murder mysteries, When I first saw this series on television I had to read the books. The only problem I had is that linday has dark hair on t.v. and the books have her as a blonde. Putting that aside the story introduces all the characters, and they work well together and support each other ...

Surrender to a Scoundrel (Avon Romantic Treasure)
Julianne Maclean
Avon, 2007
OK read, but not the best.
+ Tired of the *tons* London scene? Then Sail away!
+ Surrender To This Book! (B+ Grade)
This was an pleasant read, but not the best historical romance I have read. This was the first I read by this author, and I will read another, but am not racing to buy another. A tad predcitable but the thrill of the romance kept me reading on.

Kathleen E. Woodiwiss

Wonderful book!
+ One of my favorite books
+ One of my favorites!
Shanna is one of my "Keepers"!!! I read it as a young woman years ago. Romance books were new to me. This book made me fall in love with romance. John and Shanna are two very strong characters. There is a lot of depth to these heroines. Each with their own agendas for each other.

Scandalous Again
Christina Dodd
Avon, 2003
A great read
+ Scandalous Again
Outstanding. The characters were exciting and passionate. I especially love books that deal with past loves that went wrong and now they are trying to find their way back to each other. There is a sort of foundation there already, so you don't have the burden of creating a smei believable ...

A Year Without "Made in China": One Family's True Life Adventure in the Global Economy
Sara Bongiorni
Wiley, 2007
Good read that makes you think
+ Engaging read
I really enjoyed reading abut this family's attempt to avoid buying from China. The way in which they approach the challenge was very realistic...the reluctant husband, the concerned, but not too "militant" wife, and the friends and relatives who were a mix of supportive and ridiculing. It was very ...
