REVIEW: Everything Nice by Ellen Shanman

By Jayne • Sep 9th, 2008 • Category: B Reviews Category, B+ Reviews, Reviews

Dear Ms Shanman,
Mike is like a breath of fresh air. I can honestly say I don’t think I’ve ever read another heroine like her. I probably don’t need to tell you that readers are either going to love her or loathe her. They’ll cheer as she gets pushed off the cliff [...]



REVIEW: Sex, Straight Up by Kathleen O’Reilly

By Jayne • Mar 24th, 2008 • Category: B Reviews Category, B+ Reviews, Ebooks, Reviews

Dear Mrs. O’Reilly,
How do you do it? How do you make accountants sexy? No offense to any number crunchers out there, especially at this time of year, but the profession isn’t up there on the sexy-job-o-meter. Daniel’s brothers, the lawyer and the bartender, have jobs that could be considered babe-magnets but it takes a [...]



REVIEW: The Accidental Werewolf by Dakota Cassidy

By Jayne • Feb 7th, 2008 • Category: B Reviews Category, B- Reviews, Reviews

These days, the Isley sisters’ sense of camaraderie isn’t what [...]



REVIEW: The Diva’s Guide to Selling Your Soul by Kathleen O’Reilly

By Jayne • Nov 1st, 2006 • Category: B Reviews, B Reviews Category, Reviews

Dear Ms. O’Reilly,
We’re having paranormal week here at Dear Author so I pulled “The Diva’s Guide to Selling Your Soul” out for a reread. If the Devil ever got a foothold in my household, it would be for the ability to munch out on chocolate truffles and deep fried foods with no guilt or [...]



REVIEW: Sex as a Second Language by Alisa Kwitney

By Jayne • May 14th, 2006 • Category: B Reviews Category, Ebooks, Reviews

Dear Mrs. Kwitney,
Your first book had more of a traditional “romance” style to it and since then, you’ve been moving in more a “chick lit” crossed with “women’s fiction” with some romance direction. I’m fine with that and have enjoyed all your books but it is something I thought I should mention in [...]
