    "The Hot Girl's Friend" 5/5 Great chemistry and well-developed romance. Small mistake in names (Was his last name Flynn like his friend or Quinn as typed later).

    "Wrong Place, Right Guy" 3/5 The nudging of noses made me think they were more dogs than humans. Not my type of romance story.

    "Not You" 2.5/5 Squeezing of arms and biceps got old. Total BS in how they were related, but mostly that they would base love on addicted lust.

    "Desperately Seeing Cupid" 3/5 I liked this hero almost as much as the first story, but again a little hard to buy the build up to the hea.

    "Never Been Dumped." 3/5 Okay, but again with not buying their hea. I felt the story concentrated too much on the expiration date and not enough on the reason they didn't want it to sour.

    Overall, not a bad way to kill some time. Cute stories if heavy on some fake sugar instead of organic deliciousness. Did like how she didn't go into detail with the sex. I like romance, not erotica. =)

    The Stranger - Unexpected Love: Keri's Story #1 (Short Story)

    Sadly, I could not finish this. The story didn't start until 14% on the Kindle to begin with and it was allllll backstory. I quit at 22%. This may all be interesting to the author, but as a reader, I come to care about characters by engaging with them, not being told their life history....

This may all be interesting to the author, but as a reader, I come to care about characters by engaging with them, not being told their life history. Seriously, get to the story!

    Uncovering the Correttis (Sicily's Corretti Dynasty)

    Much like the car he drove: fast, dark and dangerous.
    Bought the heat, bought the progression, but returned the resolution.
    Just a little too fast for my blood. Guess I'm not Italian. ;-)

    Pretty good short story, but the change in him happening "offscreen'? Not as satisfying as the heroine apparently found him.

    My Last Blind Date

    It's like eating a can of frosting, thinking that's the best part of the cake. It's not good on its own.
    No conflict or character development. Almost like an imitation of her other books. =(

    Truth or Date (Better Date than Never) (Volume 2)

    I'm beginning to realize just how much I love Susan Hatler's writing. She never fails to draw me into a story and leave me in a very happy, satisfied mood with her resolutions.

    I'm beginning to realize just how much I love Susan Hatler's writing. She never fails to draw me into a story and leave me in a very happy, satisfied mood with her resolutions. She knows how far to take a phrase or sentiment so it's genuinely, laugh-out-loud funny and endearing all at once. Her characters are real people that I would love to meet and love getting to know.
    Gina and the man she ends up with are perfect for each other and their story is spot-on.

    The Coffins of Little Hope

    I wasn't sure what to make of this book. I liked the characters and the look into their lives, but I would have liked some resolutions. In some ways, that is perhaps the lesson in this book is that you don't always find the answers.

    Spirit's End

    I enjoyed reading Eli's adventures from the beginning, but this one is so action packed I didn't want to put it down. Just when I thought I knew what was going, a new surprise cropped up. I'm a little sad to see it end, but it was certainly a fitting end to a wonderful series.
