  • The Help
    • Rated 5 stars

    The Help depicts a specific time and place with such skill and artfulness that it feels so real. The voices of the women have a ring of truth and authenticity. The end is bittersweet, honest and only slightly teary. The Help depicts all the shades of gray mixed in with the awful black and white (no pun intended) so well that the reader truly understands the complexities of the lives of these women. It also shows that some of the most simple gestures can touch the deepest. This book is a gem.

  • The Things They Carried
    • Rated 5 stars

    A novel made up short stories. I would not have read this if it was not for The Big Read and I am so glad I did. This book is honest, brutal and rings with such truth and brilliance that the reader often forgets that s/he's reading a novel. It's an effect the writer wants, especially since the book has a character with the author's name and past. Well crafted and brilliant. A worthwhile read for any story lover.

  • An Uncommon Whore
    • Rated 4 stars

    Although this is my first stab at science fiction romance, I found this book to be decent. The characters were believable and the situation well set up. The world building could have been better, but that's a problem I also have with paranormal romance. At least it didn't feel as if McBride was doing the world building while actually writing the novel. Some day someone will write a paranormal or sci-fi romance after having developed the place in which the story takes place.

    If you're looking for something short, sexy and sci-fi, then this is a good choice. I would like to see another book with these characters.

  • Give and Take
    • Rated 4 stars

    Give and Take was a nice bedtime read. It was well written and I felt for David. The story was very believable and well executed. I wouldn't mind reading another story with Jeff and David, just to get to know Jeff and bit more. Jeff just seemed like a nice guy who gave David the space he needed.

    This was my first Anne Brooke story. I'm looking forward tor reading more.

  • Zero at the Bone
    • Rated 3 stars

    This is the type of romance Jim Thompson would have written if he'd ever decided to write a romance. That seems to be what Seville was trying for. It had such potential, such great characters and a fun story, and let's not forget the hand holding scene that will send your heart soaring. If only the writing had been better....

  • Snared
    • Rated 3 stars

    Although this was a very cute read, it wasn't the best romance. The writing was just okay, although the author does do a good job giving the reader a feel for the place and the people. She also does a very good job with the accents. It's just that the writing could have been so much better and would have made a fun, cute romance novella much more.

    Worth a read, but not much more than that.

  • The Assignment
    • Rated 3 stars

    While the characters were fun and well drawn, the story was a bit thin. Also, the gay bars didn't quite ring true, especially the leather bars. And I mean right down to the names of them. I'm used to bars with names like The Stallion, The Eagle, The Vault and Ramrod so a bar called RamJack was a bit too vanilla for my sensibilities. I was also hoping to get a little taste of the leather life in the book, but that wasn't really there.

    Luckily I enjoyed the characters and their situation enough to not let the lack of truth about the leather scene bother me. I kind of took it as leather-lite and moved on. And although the sex was very hot, I found the final sex scene to be a bit gratuitous. Keep in mind that I tend to not want a lot of sex in my romance. And yes, I am a gay man. I just prefer more story than sex.

    All in all, a decent book.

  • The Great Gatsby
    • Rated 2 stars

    Vile people with too much time and money. There really isn't much more to this book than that. A waste of time.

  • Look Again
    • Rated 5 stars

    This could have been very sappy, but Scottoline knows how to tell a good story with compelling characters and very little schmaltz. She also knows how to crank up the tension when needed (which is through the entire middle of this book) while keeping the reader guessing. There's also a touch of romance to make it just that much better. If you're looking for a good book to pass some time, This is it.
