Review by Snapdragon

Full-figured Bess Simpson despairs — so many men on campus are turned off by “fat chicks.” Only one has caught her eye, but he’s always with the petite drum major. Bolstered by an encouraging best friend, Bess finds her math ability comes in handy — the man of her dreams needs a tutor.

Art Fuller wants to be a metallurgical engineer, but he must pass the Differential Equations class, and math is not his strong point. To make matters worse, the help session leader is no help, and dating the daughter of the department head isn’t getting him anywhere but henpecked, especially when he turns to Bess for some assistance.

Will Bess impress him beyond the subject at hand? Or is he unable to recognize her true value?

Bess Simpson, of Larry Hammersly’s Beautiful Inside and Out, is charmingly genuine and utterly believable. She’s a smart woman, but has a familiar sense of not being quite good enough due to her weight issues, that raises reader sympathies at once. Our hero, Art, is likable. He starts off seeming not all that desirable…but he’s a decent sort, for sure. For a moment there, we can almost imagine this taking the course of a rather predictable romance. Don’t worry, this is hardly the case!

Even with the college campus setting, the ensuing competition is a bit of a surprise and is immediately intriguing. In fact, the motivations of several people are something of a mystery. I can’t go further for fear of spoilers, but this story is unpredictable and characters intriguing. It’s a quick read and fun from beginning to end.

Unfortunately, stilted and overdone descriptions slow the pace unnecessarily. Whether it was word choice or phrasing, I can’t pinpoint the issue, but it makes me give this one just a whisker below a 4.

Beautiful Inside and Out is a worthwhile read though, with a wonderfully charming overall aura.

When private detective Fallon Monroe agrees to transport a clone across country for her nephew’s lifesaving operation, she never expects to be thrust into a dangerous conspiracy. With anti-cloning fanatics after her, she has only her wits and special ops soldier John White to help protect the child—but her attraction to John is tempting her to break every rule she’s set for herself.

John can’t remember his past. He just knows he must protect the beautiful woman who bursts into his life. But as his memory returns, John realizes he’s not who—or even what—everyone thinks he is. Now he feels unworthy of Fallon, no matter how desperately he wants her.

Pursued by terrorists and bounty hunters, John and Fallon face a terrible decision, and Fallon realizes she will do anything to save the child and the man who have come to mean everything to her.

I’m still trying to catch my breath after reading Last Rights by Pamela Fryer. What a ride! Seriously, this book hits the floor running and never really stops. Even when things slow for a moment, in the background there’s always that knowledge that something is going to happen.

Last Rights tackles an interesting topic, and one that is very relevant: human cloning and organ harvesting. With the advances the scientific and medical communities are making today, this is something I suspect we’ll have to face. Maybe even in my lifetime.

The story follows a woman who is transporting her much-loved nephew’s clone in order to harvest its heart for transplanting. From the start, she’s in trouble—she’s pursued by anti-cloning fanatics, and then eventually by the entire country when she’s accused of breaking the law. Thankfully, although she’s a pretty capable person, she has help from an AWOL soldier, John White.

John’s a great character. He’s conflicted, flawed, strong and full of angst. He’s compelled to help Fallon and the clone and he doesn’t know why, but eventually he stays to help because he’s falling for them. For both of them. And the feeling is mutual.

The love scenes in this book were touching, hot and very appropriate. It reminded me a bit of the first Terminator movie where, with danger only possibly moments away, the need the protagonists had for one another became something they couldn’t resist. Sometimes, in romantic suspense novels, it’s as though the characters forget someone is after them and leap into bed. Not so, here. But their need is great. Desperate and filled with emotion.

I can’t tell you how strongly this book held my attention. The author has serious writing skills, and created real characters I cared about. I was turning pages as quickly as possible fighting the urge to peek at the end because I couldn’t imagine how this could end well.

Truly, my only complaint—and it isn’t much of one—is that, for a story set in the future, few things seemed truly different in the world. For a world who had perfected human cloning, the technology seemed to lag behind in everything else. There were the occasional nods to science fiction: stunners instead of guns, for instance, but even so the story felt as though it were set in today’s world. In some ways, that made it even more horrible. More real. Still, as a sci-fi fan, the lack of differences between the author’s world and ours was a bit frustrating.

Still, this is a book I loved. A book I’ve been blabbing about to anyone who will listen. It’s a book that will stay with me and one I’m so glad I read. I can’t recommend it enough. It was amazing.

When Daisy Budd and her slightly dysfunctional sisters decide to turn a mortuary into a fashionable wedding boutique, they expect some opposition. After all, towns like Mayville don’t care much for change. But when a body shows up in the mortuary’s fountain, Daisy knows it’s time to leave the bridezillas behind and solve the mystery. Nick Bowman, disinherited son of the town’s leading family, is back after a seven-year estrangement. He’s determined to protect his late grandfather’s reputation by locating some loot supposedly hidden in the mortuary’s cellar. But Nick’s quest is complicated by the new owner. Daisy doesn’t trust his motives and she’s uncomfortable with the sparks the two of them generate, especially since Nick used to date her sister. When a second body shows up at the mortuary, Nick and Daisy need to work together to find the truth—but what happens when their inconvenient sparks become flames?

It’s all a matter of life and death, but it seems someone wants to make it more about death. For Better or Hearse sizzles with suspense, charm, and a whole lot of fun.

Daisy’s life has had it’s share of downfalls. She seems to be the ring leader of her sisters, the glue that keeps their bond solid, the one that steps up and takes care of her family, putting her own dreams aside. Their latest venture is turning inherited property into a happily ever after dream- creating perfect weddings. The protective way each sister is with one another is heartwarming. They really look out for one another in every way possible. That bond is unbreakable, beautiful. Ms. Yost puts a major emphasis on the family ties element in this book.

The story’s hero is Nick. A bit of a bad boy, womanizer, or so we’re lead to believe. There must have been some bad blood between Nick and the sisters, because no one wants him to come around. Though it seems he’s everywhere these days, much to the womens chagrin. The further into this novel I went, the more I liked Nick. Sure, there’s a few moments where I wondered about him and his intentions, but overall he won me over.

For Better or Hearse packs a mixture of romance, suspense, laughter, and adventure. The tension between Nick and Daisy sizzle, leaving a lot of intense moments where they either wanted to strangle the other, or fall in love.

Ms. Yost writes with charm and emotion. Her stories are enjoyable, fast paced, and uplifting. This one is no different. It’s another for the keeper shelves.

Need a bit of witty romantic suspense in your reading queue? For Better or Hearse is a story you can laugh with and enjoy. Why not rush and get yourself a copy?

Searching for true happiness, as well as escape from a controlling family, Morgan Prescott answers a Brides Wanted ad and leaves New York City’s high society life for the wilds of Washington Territory. Her spirit and intelligence carry her through the shocks that await her–streets of ankle-deep mud, life in a one-room cabin, the hazards of cooking–but they are no help when she loses her heart to the one man she can’t have.

Private investigator Luke Kincaid, a major stockholder in the Union Pacific Railroad, goes undercover as a logging camp foreman to apprehend the railroad’s saboteurs. All he needs is a mock wife to strengthen his act, but once he agrees to Morgan filling the role, he finds himself longing for much more–a love he’s forbidden to accept or give.

Luke Kincaid fits in well with the big, intrepid lumberjacks out in the majestic timberlands of Washington Territory in the late nineteenth century. In a ploy to strengthen his cover while investigating sabotage, he orders a bride along with the other men—picking the woman with the a background that he thought would appreciate his plan. Due to a mix-up the dynamics change and his private, controlled emotional world takes a direct hit. The desperate, determined, Morgan Prescott, who at first seems haughty, can laugh at herself, so Luke does the best he can with what he has to work with. While she does not fit what he had planned, her situation touches him in a unique way and she stirs a part of him long denied.

Morgan hoped for a good partnership, a friend, and maybe even love, only to find her hopes and plans are torpedoed when Luke says he’s not free to marry; he’s engaged. His calm proposal as to how both their needs can be met gives her ego one more blow, but she has survived worse. Besides, the handsome, green-eyed man with a sense of humor and an air of mystery about him intrigues her and makes her heart do somersaults—he draws her like a magnet.

The vast array of secondary characters is vital to the unfolding of the plot. They augment the danger, add suspense and mystery about the sabotage as well as furnish humor and offer true friendship and help to each other. Sarah, old enough to be Morgan’s mother, is a godsend. She helps Morgan, who’d been pampered all her life. Though very accomplished in many areas, Morgan doesn’t even know how to make coffee much less how to make bread, desserts, or how to cook meat. The humor and near-disasters that occur as she learns is delightful entertainment, especially when the two women cook all one afternoon and lace their coffee with whiskey.

The unshakeable bond the lumberjacks and Luke have is evident time and again as they battle saboteurs. It’s amazing the respect each has for the others skills in the dangerous lumbering business where one mistake or misjudgment can cost a life.

When the action moves to the San Francisco area, a whole new set of dynamics come into play. With the addition of Lucy, Luke’s terminally ill fiancee, comes new emotions that overwhelm Morgan—guilt for coveting the dying woman’s fiancee, humility when Lucy likes her and wants her to stay, and heartbreak as she sees Luke’s dismay over Lucy whom he loves.

Beverly Wells brings to life the timberlands and the bustling lumbering camp. She takes the reader heart-stoppingly close to the dangers the lumberjacks accept as part of their jobs. Her descriptions stir the senses. Of course, the loons on the lake in Washington Territory and near Luke’s home bring wonder an a touch of magic to the story.

Morgan gave up wealth and privilege to be her own person and to be true to herself. Luke put his life on hold to be true to Lucy and denied his needs and wants. How these two cope with difficulties and conflicts as they strive to do what is right and maintain their integrity make Only When the Loon Sings memorable.

Annabel Maitland believes in destiny and following her heart–Trent Sheffield realizes his destiny is to believe in her.

Annabel destroyed her dancing career trying to save her friend Quinn’s life. Convinced Quinn’s death was no accident, Annabel follows a clue to a North Carolina mountain inn and discovers that everyone who knew Quinn wanted her out of their lives–including the sexy innkeeper whose laid-back charm and megawatt grin take Annabel’s breath away. But trusting her heart means ignoring evidence that plants him firmly on the suspect list.

The last person Trent needs working for him is an impossibly long-legged dancer whose sharp wit and silver eyes keep him scrambling. He’s falling hard, but Annabel’s connection to his ex-fiancée makes him question her motives. When mysterious accidents threaten Annabel’s life, they must unearth Quinn’s killer before it’s too late. But what if Annabel was the target all along?

It’s a dream to dance at a theater, but it’s a nightmare when all those dreams come crashing down- somewhat literally, too. A Dance to Die For takes readers on a heartfelt journey of intrigue, murder, and romance.

Annabel Maitland lived and breathed dancing. It’s what her world revolved around.  Annabel’s injury makes her no longer cut out for the competitive world of dancing. She struggles with the emotions of this outcome. And now, her world revolves around the last words of a friend; words that echo in her mind.

Annabel is a character I related to. She goes through so much in the duration of the story. She’s determined to stay around her late friend’s hometown and uncover the mystery of the last words, and the strange reaction some people there have to her only makes her more inclined to figure things out. What she doesn’t count on? An attraction to Trent Sheffield.

Ahh, Trent. He’s a little rough around the edges. Not too happy about Annabel being there. Even more unhappy about the woman Annabel worked alongside in her career. Trent’s a little hard to get used to, but he’s not a bad guy. It just takes some time for him to come around to the idea of this spitfire of a woman working at his inn, his home.

A Dance to Die For is a romantic suspense of the classic kind. It has a perfect blend of suspense and romance. The focal points are equally about both. The author has done a wonderful job creating the characters, the setting, and the mystery. I devoured this book in just a few hours. I enjoyed the small town country setting. It really fit perfectly in the book. The intensity of the story just kept getting better as I read on. Everyone is a suspect, everyone has secrets to hide, and as one gets uncovered, it adds more hype to the tension.

What’s not to like about an emotional, witty, and sizzling romantic suspense? Grab a copy of A Dance to Die For and get swept up in this riveting story.

Gabriel Marsh, known as the Dark Angel, is a Federation assassin. An Angelus, he’s been brought up with high moral standards and rigid ethics. When he meets Deirdre Karanov, a shy blonde with a penchant for black market coffee and strawberries, he’s instantly smitten.

But Deirdre is a Variant, a type of human whose body can switch into a separate person of the opposite sex at will. She is at the mercy of her domineering Other, Lexei, another government assassin who uses her as a decoy to get near his targets.

When Marsh is partnered with Lexei for an assignment, he makes it his mission to free Deirdre from the chains of Lexei’s dominance. But double-crosses, enemy soldiers, and Lexei’s cruelty conspire to stop him. The more he sees of Deidre, the more Marsh realizes he can’t live without her. But is his love enough to set her free?

Assassins are always a favorite basis for a book, they’re hardcore, strong, usually handsome and/or beautiful and incredibly skilled. The lone assassin or spy falling in love is a well-used plot-line so there usually has to be something pretty exceptional to make it stand out. This story definitely delivers. In the first place, there’s a whole set of worlds to explore, not just one, which gives this well used plot-line a good solid boost.

The author takes it a step further by mixing polar opposites in this governmental assassin team; a morally upright individual partnered with an open and highly sexual one. It creates an explosive and dynamite combination. In addition, this highly sexual character has an alter ego because of what he is; he can change into an entirely different person with a completely different personality and different sex. This makes him a highly effective assassin.

Trouble ensues when Gabriel, the morally upright assassin, falls in love with his partner Lexei’s alter ego. Difficulties occur, angst has its place and a mission gone wrong brings everything together. The worlds were believable, the technology and rules were definitely within the realm of possibility, something necessary for any science fiction and fantasy story. The plot flowed well but was a little fast and some things could have used a bit more detail. Overall, this was a good story, an excellent twist on a well-used plot line that gave it new life and new interest.

All her life, Callie O’Rourke wanted to be a firefighter. A lifelong nightmare of being in a fire has driven her to pursue a career to fight fires and save lives. She won’t let being a woman stop her from achieving that goal. When her determination and training land her a job, Callie has no idea being the city’s first female firefighter will gain the attention of more than just its citizens.

Although haunted since childhood by the fiery death of his father, firefighting is in Danny Redmond’s blood. He comes from a long line of firemen, all the way back to his great-grandfather.

Callie’s refreshing candor ignites Danny’s interest. With her ability to fight fires, combined with the way she puts him at ease, it’s not long before they become friends. Focused on being the best firefighters possible, neither is looking for romance. Yet the more they’re together, the more they realize firefighting may not be their biggest challenge.

The world is full of books. Endless amounts of them. But there are only a few rare books that you pull out to read and, when finished, you’re overcome with such intense emotion. Sparks is one of those books. The experience I had as a reader while engaged in this powerful, riveting story had me in a whirl of feelings.

Callie O’Rourke is Fairmont’s first female firefighter. She’s a bit of a news maker with this status. Callie’s strong willed, fierce, and takes many risks, but these risks are to save lives. She thinks with her heart and her head. She’s had a lot of things to deal with in life, but Callie has definitely overcome obstacles to get where she is today. Though she didn’t get off on the right note with Danny Redmond, the hero.

Danny is a bit complicated. This man has not been whole for a long time. In a tragic chain of events, Danny’s life changed when he was a child, and the things he feels and never completely dealt with affect him to this day. He’s not too happy about Callie, but oh my, do things change for him rather quickly.

Written with such intense depth, Sparks draws readers into a wild ride of feelings, a bit of adventure, and a whole lot of love. The conflict keeps the story line tight. Just when I thought Callie and Danny were on their way to a beautiful relationship, some startling revelations come to light, spiraling everyone involved into a confused state. Talk about characters going through turmoil. This novel brings a sense of family and community together. A feeling of nostalgia washed over me many times, as reading this made me think of the times where people looked out for one another a lot more, and strong family ties were more prevalent.

There are touching moments, I wiped away tears more than once. This book is beautifully written. Strong characterization, stunning plot, and at times I held my breath, unsure of what would happen next. Fair warning, readers–this book is going to grab hold of you tight, and won’t let go even after the end. I find myself still thinking about Callie, Danny, and the rest of the crew at the fire station. Sparks lives up to it’s name, in every sense of the word. This is a story that can be read over and over. It’s a keeper!

If you love contemporary romances that have tendencies to bring out tears of joy, gut wrenching pangs of fear, and a powerful love story, let Sparks light up your life. Don’t miss this stunning novel!

Court reporter Renee Rose found out the hard way that hooking up with a cop is like a bikini wax–it starts off hot, turns painful, and ends in tears.

But when her best friend receives an e-mail, supposedly from her long-dead fiancé, demanding money, Renee knows they need help. Too bad help comes in the form of Detective Anthony Graciano, an annoying, bossy cop who somehow manages to haul Renee’s libido out of dry dock.

Police work is more than a career to Anthony, it’s an obsession. He specializes in cases involving female victims, which leaves him no time for anything else. Until he meets Renee, a delicious mystery he yearns to explore.

As danger closes in, Anthony fights to keep Renee safe despite her tendency to plunge headlong into danger–and her doubts about him. Can she learn to trust his love before it’s too late?

Men don’t come back from the dead. They don’t reappear in someone’s life. And they don’t send email messages. Or do they? Something is definitely off here….Playing Dead begins in a mysterious way, taking readers on a tale of lies and deceit. Are you ready for this venture?

Renee was the type of female lead I’m used to reading. She’s a good friend to Liz, but she’s an annoying heroine. Her stubborn and hard headed attitude got to me quite a few times, especially with her bipolar-like attitude towards Anthony, the hero. I wanted to jump inside the story, take her by the shoulders, and shake some sense into her! If the author was shooting for a character that brought out real emotions in the reader, then she was right on target with Renee. I did notice she has a soft spot for one particular character in the book, other than Liz, so she didn’t make me completely crazy.

Anthony, a detective, has a lot of wit and charm to him. He doesn’t always seem to take his role seriously, but I suppose in a job like his, a man needs a little humor more often than not. I felt bad for him, going after a woman who seemed to slip away from his every move. He sure sticks with what he wants, though, because he kept trying even though it seemed futile.

The premise of the story is what really kept me going. I couldn’t always feel for the characters, other than Liz, and I wished things turned out better for her. She was the one I would have loved to read more about, since the story seemed more focused on her life. There were definite surprises and twists in the story that I never imagined would unfold. The authors writing is fresh and fun. Playing Dead is full of mystery and fun. It’s light on suspense, but a great read overall.

If you like your stories mysterious and some moments that are bound to get a smile out of you, Playing Dead is the perfect book. Don’t play around, get a copy today!

Angel Baxter’s move from Georgia to Miami was intended to bring peace and calm, but for the past three months, she’s been reluctant mediator to her nana and their eighty-five year-old neighbor. Between ripped up azalea bushes, wrecked bird baths, and her grandmother prancing across the lawn like a deranged pixie, Angel’s nerves are frayed. She’s got more problems than a three-legged cat in a dog pound.

Unexpected help shows up in the sexiest form: Harry Garret, the neighbor’s gorgeous grandson. The gardener offers his hand in the negotiations, and the rest of his body on a date at a French restaurant. When Nana’s pranks go too far, will Angel lose out on more than peace and quiet, but also on a chance at love?

Feuding Hearts is a fun, frolicsome way to spend an hour or two.

I’m not sure which couple I liked best, the cranky yet charming octogenarians or their sexually-charged, intensely-loyal adult grand-kids. All I know is that I loved following Angel’s emotional roller coaster. Bless her heart, she has her hands full but she won me over with her wit and kindness. Her silly antics were fresh and fun to read.

The super scrumptious Harry wasn’t hard to read about either. Ms. Deen knows how to create a hero who raises the heat level in a room just by walking in. Harry is completely likeable because he doesn’t act like he knows he’s hot. The author also has the charm of Southern speak down to an art. I had no problem stepping into the scene and getting to know these people.

Ms. Deen even manages to add social conscience, ethical vs unethical business practices and the green movement into the mix. With the added plus of well-defined characters, great descriptions, and flawless writing, this short will have you logging on to see what else Ms. Deen has written. There are eight more by my count. Guess I’m going shopping. If it’s a romantic comedy that you’ve been craving, Feuding Hearts is an easy recommend.

Convenience store clerk, Katy Simms has got to be the only woman in North America who hasn’t heard of megastar Derrick Nelson, which makes her boarding house the perfect place for him to recover from a nervous breakdown. When he stumbles into her life one summer night, all Katy sees is a unemployed drifter named Caleb who needs a couple of decent meals and some human compassion. Her presence calms his soul, while his patience lifts her confidence.

Together, they are more, but will Caleb’s fame and Katy’s generous nature drive a wedge between two people who were meant to be…ever together?

Do you believe opposites attract? Do you think that two people from very different worlds can backgrounds can make it together? If you’re not a believer, reading Ever Together just might make you think differently. This is a story of a powerful love.

Katy is young and sometimes a little naive. She’s the kindest woman you’ll ever meet. She’s always willing to help, and she has a way about her that people tend to want to be near her. She struggles with things that for others come easy, but Katy is a determined woman, and she strives to reach her goals. I was immediately drawn to her character. At times, she overreacts, but when she’s wrong, Katy admits it, after awhile.

Caleb is a celebrity who just needs a little peace and quiet. Never in a million years did he imagine he’d be drawn to this small town, let alone the owner of the house he’s staying it. I love Caleb. He’s apparently a mega star, but his celebrity persona and his regular life persona are the same guy. There’s no in between. Caleb is a down to earth man who has deep family roots. He’s not one of those attention hogs, and he genuinely loves what he does. Even though he’s famous, Caleb still loves the regular life. The tension that builds between him and Katy develops into a blossoming romance.

Caleb helps Katy, and in return she helps him, but neither of them really know that right away. They make each other a better person, they are two halves that make a whole. Caleb is patient with Katy and some of her self doubts and quirks, and Katy makes Caleb long for more than just his acting career. The cast of characters bring so much to this story as well. It’s like a tight knit family, everyone looks out for the other, and they accept Caleb as one of their own.

Everything about this story calls to me — the characters, the writing, the wonderful plot. It’s heartwarming, emotional, and beautiful. I’d love to see more stories like this out on the market. Ever Together gives me hope, a new perspective, and I could read this novel over and over again, and fall in love with the story like it was the first time.

If you love a good contemporary romance about people from opposite worlds, love a hero that’s sexy and mysterious, and want to feel like a community still bonds together over a good life, don’t miss Ever Together. Grab yourself a copy today and be enchanted by this story.
