REVIEW: Driven to Distraction by Ashleigh Raine

JaneBook Reviews / C Reviews / C Reviews CategoryAction/Adventure / movie-star / Samhain-publishing / sports romance8 Comments

Dear Ms. Raine: I think someone brought this to my attention because I mentioned I liked sports books.   I never really equate sports and cars, but I suppose it falls under the same rubric of entertainment.   This story is a car book and a movie book.   I liked the movie ... more >

REVIEW: Sexiest Man Alive by Diana Holquist

JaneB Reviews Category / B+ Reviews / Book ReviewsContemporary / Diana-Holquist / movie-star19 Comments

Dear Ms. Holquist: I was skeptical that I was going to like this book given the back cover copy, the title and the concept. It just sounded too hokey, too precious. If it wasn’t sent to me for free, I don’t think I would have read it because I wouldn’t ... more >
