Dear Ms. Parr: I get the sense from the various internet reviews that people either love this book or hate it. I fall into the latter category. It’s not that I didn’t hate it so much as I wasn’t convinced at the end of the story that the two protagonists actually belonged together. It’s sold(…)

Dear Ms. Cullinan I’m going to apologize up-front that this review will not do justice to this book. I don’t think anything can do justice to this book except reading it AGAIN. It’s just…brilliant. Not without flaws, but brilliant. The book starts with two alternating prologues. One is the night Laurence “Laurie” Parker is thrown(…)

Dear Ms. Rochon, When I decided at the last minute to join Wendy the Super Librarian’s 2011 TBR Challenge, I was relieved to see that the first month’s reading was category romance. When it comes to categories, my TBR mountain range can give the Himalayas a run for their money, and I’d been meaning to(…)

Dear Ms. Burton: Your book first came to my attention when you posted the cover on your blog. I am not a huge fan of the man titty but even I, a scoffer, could not help but be impressed with the rendering on this cover. This guy exudes hotness like a furnace at a coal(…)

Bend it Like Beckham (2003) Genre: Comedy/Drama/Romance/Sport Grade: A- Jess: Anyone can cook aloo gobi, but who can bend a ball like Beckham? What better time to post this review then during the World Cup? Though as I’ve stated before footie/soccer isn’t a sport that gets me excited, I do love this movie. Jess –(…)

Dear Mr. Culpepper, Yours was a book lingering in my Fictionwise wish list (love, love, love that feature) for a few weeks after the title caught my eye during one browsing session. I’ve grown used to hearing less than positive adjectives attached to the word “American” so wasn’t surprised to see ‘clueless’ added to the(…)

Dear Ms. Andre: I’ve often wondered why sports stars are not the subject of more romance books. The men fit the standard mold: aggressive, wealthy, dominant, ambitious, usually in possession of totally hot bodies. As I read the few sports related fiction books I can find, I am more convinced that the reason is because(…)

Dear Ms. Gibson, After Jennie did a review of “Not Another Bad Date,” I saw her grade and mentally wilted a little. In fact, I wasn’t sure I even wanted to read it at that point. But after starting, and stopping, a horrible historical – asshole hero plus virgin martyr widow! – I thought, “why(…)

Dear Mom: I am going to buy this book for you for Christmas. I know you aren’t a Packer fan and that your idea of relaxation does not include anything that is sports related, but I think this is the perfect book for you. Well, okay, maybe it is more the perfect book for me(…)

Dear Ms. Lee Football season is right around the corner and I thought this book would be a perfect fit given that the hero is a football player. Unfortunately, the football aspects were merely window dressing for this average story. Bobby Mac is an injured star quarterback for the Texas Lone Stars hoping to make(…)
