The Perfect Dress by Carolyn Brown
review

COLE IN MY STOCKING | Jule McBride
post image
Pickpick

I like an amnesia storyline, and love Christmas themed stories, so I dove into this with anticipation. And then was immediately a little disconcerted to realize the hero is a magician. I do not like magicians. But it was just a little hiccup and then I didn't care anymore, and I very much enjoyed this silly little romance.

Hawk O'Toole's Hostage | Sandra Brown
post image
Pickpick

Aside from constantly being distracted by the male cover model‘s Howard Wolowitzish haircut I enjoyed this older Sandra Brown. Hawk was a precursor to the wonderful heroes Ms. Brown would later write in her romantic mystery/suspense books, though at times he was almost too mean to the heroine. The heroine is spunky and likable, with a son who was cute without being precocious. The resolution at the end was a little rushed, but very satisfying.

Nebklvr I thought of Howard immediately. 😂 1d

I like this guy, I‘ma have sex with him but not tell him I‘m a virgin! Oh I‘m so ashamed, I‘ma sneak out while he‘s asleep! Oh this neglected plantation house is gorgeous, I‘ma fix it up good for the elderly owner! Oh, his son is my one night stand that I haven‘t stopped thinking about for two years! Oh, he wants to know why I ran out! It was your own fault Zack, for taking my virtue! I hate you! I love you!

Lone Rider Bodyguard | Harper Allen
post image
Pickpick

Fairly standard Harlequin Intrigue fare, though towards the end the plot got a bit convoluted and hard to follow. But a perfectly satisfying ending.

Not sure why the cover model and baby are riding a horse, however, since at not once in the big did the hero ever get on a horse.

CLOSE RELATIONS | Lynsey Stevens

Talk about an angst filled romance with a major misunderstanding driving the hero and heroine apart for four years. It got a little tedious at times, but the shocker (to me anyway) at the end took me completely by surprise and made it worth it.

Yesterday's Fantasy | Pamela Macaluso
post image
Pickpick

Heroine a bit of a sop, engaged to man she's known 3 months, whose mother basically runs his life. Heroine gets annoyed or angry but doesn't really stand up for herself. Architect, aka hero, is brother's best friend and college roommate who heroine had massive crush on at age 14. A little wishy washy, having been burned before and can't let himself trust heroine. You know how it ends of course, and it did keep my interest well enough.

Infernal Affairs | Jane Heller
post image
Pickpick

I thought this was a romance when I picked it up. The premise was a bit out there, with Barbara inadvertently making a deal with the devil, and overnight going from gray hair, overweight, double chin, and meek to a slim blonde assertive beauty with the power to make bad things happen to others. It got so ridiculous I thought about DNFing. But I persevered, and suddenly there was some romance, and then the last quarter got really good.

Fly Me to the Moon | Kylie Adams
post image
Pickpick

Rollicking romp of fun! Ben, who idolizes Sinatra, talks like he's right out a 30's/40's screwball comedy, which incidentally are some of the best movies ever made. Calls Sofia baby and dame, his friends his pallies, and so on. Actually the whole book reads like a screwball comedy. Silly and over the top at times, but I was sorry to see it end.

A Stranger to Love | Donna Huxley
post image
Mehso-so

I can only think that Ms. Huxley aspired to being more than a Harlequin author with her long sentences packed with adverbs and adjectives. I've never read the words "somnolence" and "somnolent" so many times and was unfamiliar with "importuned", also used multiple times. I looked it up: "to press or urge with troublesome persistence". I do love learning new words, though I doubt I'll ever use this one.

Free Spirits | Linda Randall Wisdom
post image
Pickpick

Older Harlequin with a silly premise - Alex‘s dead parents‘ ghosts are on a mission to see her "properly" married. They don‘t consider her jerk boyfriend the proper man for her, so cue the shenanigans as they set out to matchmake. The author has always been one of my favorite category romance authors, and I enjoyed the gentle and amusing pushes towards the new man who came into her life. And I laughed out loud a couple of times.

Is this product placement? I‘ve read several Carolyn Brown books, but this is the first to constantly talk about movies and singers and songs and books, describing plots and scenes and meaning and trivia. And then this line just feels downright blatant.

Jingle All the Way: A Novel | Debbie Macomber
post image
Mehso-so

This is my third Macomber & I'm not sure why she‘s so popular. The writing isn‘t great, it‘s adequate I guess. The characters are ok. I liked Asher more than Everly. It‘s a quick read with some amusing parts, mostly with Asher. I've collected a lot of the author's books, including a bunch of the Cedar Cove series since I enjoyed the tv series, so I‘ll keep reading her, and hopefully will enjoy some of her other books more than this one.
