REVIEW: Franny K Stein – Lunch Walks Among Us by Jim Benton

JayneB Reviewschildrens-books / Scientist / Simon & Schuster9 Comments

Dear Mr. Benton, A good friend of mine steered me in the direction of the Franny K. Stein books. Her daughter loves them so much that she was crushed when she discovered that she couldn’t make her own monster. Or at least….not yet. Her daughter is still young though so ... more >

REVIEW: The Runaway Princess by Hester Browne

JayneC- Reviewsclass-difference / Contemporary / England / First-Person / Royalty / Simon & Schuster8 Comments

Dear Ms. Browne, In all fairness, the title does promise what is delivered. But I found that I didn’t care for a woman who would consider this acceptable behavior. The romance is like one of the heroine’s mother’s fairy cakes or ‘light as air’ sponge cakes. And even the farting ... more >

REVIEW: In a Treacherous Court by Michelle Diener

JennieB- Reviews / Book ReviewsDebut-book / Henry-VIII / romantic-suspense / Simon & Schuster8 Comments

Dear Ms. Diener, Having recently read and enjoyed a historical novel set in the 16th century and dealing with intrigue and assassins, I was intrigued when In a Treacherous Court fell into my hands. Realizing it was a debut sharpened my interest, since I’m always on the lookout for new authors, especially ... more >

REVIEW: And One Last Thing… by Molly Harper

JayneB Reviews / B Reviews Category / Book ReviewsContemporary / First-Person / humorous / Simon & Schuster12 Comments

Dear Ms. Harper, While I know that being a woman scorned would suck, Lacey Terwilliger, nee Vernon, makes it seem survivable. Nay, not only survivable but rise above-able. Lacey does what I suspect most women in her place would want to do – she gets her revenge on her cheating ... more >
