Glad you liked them Gail. I’m looking for good straight contemporaries too. They are more hard to find than a paranormal without a vampire. Irresistible remains my favorite Mallery book. I haven’t yet started in on her category romances although I remember trying one (a Sheik one) and it wasn’t to my taste.

Jasmine Haynes is another contemporary author I like (although I’ve had very differing responses to her backlist so I can’t give unqualified recommendations) but her trade paperbacks for Berkley – The Fortune Hunter and Show and Tell are B/B- reads.

I picked up Sweet Talk and Sweet Spot on the basis of these reviews. Also Irresistible. I liked Irresistible and Sweet Talk so much that I went to the online store (because the store didn’t have the other books in the series) and ordered the rest of the books–including a second copy of Sweet Spot because I forgot I’d bought the book at the walk-in store. (sigh) (I hadn’t read it yet, and it got lost in the bottom of the second bag. I’m allowed to forget.)

Anyway, I just wanted to say that I really liked the books I’ve already read–I’ve been in a “straightforward, no-suspense contemporary romance” mood lately–and I’m looking forward to getting the rest.

Every so often, I think I should quit reading these reviews–but the reviews tell me about books I think I’d like to read–and when I get them, I do. So keep ‘em coming.

I like Sweet Spot; Nicole is bitchy and sweet by turns. Hawk is hot, but on occasion so dumb.
Re: ex husband: he is out of the picture before this book starts and does have a role in this book as an excellent schmuck. He definitely is not in the third book with little sister Jesse as the hero.
I liked the way Nicole worked with her issues with Jesse in this book. First book was all fighting, this one involved more thinking. I am looking forward to final Sweet Trouble.
The way Nicole dealt with her desire for a family while everyone around her seemingly was getting pregnant (even the dog) was good too.

Wait, so Nicole gets rid of her husband first right? What happens with the younger sister – the next book isn’t going to be her and Nicole’s husband is it?
