MarilynS,

Since you’ve read 75% of her books, what is your absolute favorite of hers? I’ve read lots of her categories, and I just always loved her first one the best – I believe it was tender loving care.

Up front, I’m a Mallery fan! I think I’ve read more than 75% of her releases. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to read her latest but I think the stats on this release speak for themselves, a NYC Best Seller. I personally loved her Buchanan series, her Marcelli series, and something I never thought I would admit…..Desert Rogues, fun, and entertaining.

Susan has a knack for character development, her secondary characters are very interesting and her humor always shines through.

A really fun book is Falling for Gracie. It’s silly, fun but as always Susan has a message, a very definite message.

I didn’t like this one as much as the next book but in my normal odd way I read the second book FIRST. And this one I just read over last weekend.

Did you like the next book?

I feel like Ms. Mallery’s earlier [first... 3?] Marcelli sister books were a bit different. I did really like Irresistible – and Delicious too. I’m glad Falling For Gracie is being reissued – that’s another good one. I really enjoyed this book – maybe because I liked the second half once I got over the first part.

I forgot the sentence, “I’ll give it a try.” ugh.

I read lots and lots of Susan Mallery Special Editions (and SIMS) back when I still read tons of category – though I may have preferred Christine Rimmer when they both seemed to dominate that line so much. After awhile, neither did it for me anymore – though most of category didn’t do it for me either by that point.

I have looked at Mallery’s single titles and wondered briefly if I should give her a try again. It sounds like folks think Irresistible is the best out there.

I read this book a few weeks ago and enjoyed it. I am actually looking forward to reading more about the other sisters in the August and September releases.

I agree that this is a classic Mallery book and if you didn’t enjoy it, you probably won’t appreciate her other books. I agree with Jane Irrestible was a GREAT book.

Corrine – if Sweet Talk doesn’t fit your reading tastes, I think you are right to give Mallery a pass. It’s very classic Mallery, in my opinion.

Stephanie – I’ve read 10 Mallerys by now and I think Irresistible is far and away the best one.

I think I’ll skip this one, for the same reasons that other people skip police books or EMT books or lawyer books — I’m a pianist by training. Your other reviews, Jane, made her other books sound appealing, so maybe I’ll find one of those.

This was my first Susan Mallery, and I’m sorry to say, will probably be my last. There’s something about her voice that reads a little too curt and for this story, it really didn’t allow me to connect with any of the characters. I didn’t really have any problems with the story; if it had been written with more inner dialogue and more emotion, I think I would have enjoyed it very much. As it was, I felt as if I were reading a rough draft, almost script-like version.
