I really liked this one - by this time Castle/Krentz is fairly comfortable with her future world and doesn't have to wow us with funny names for stuff. I've enjoyed all of the Harmony series.

I think this must be my favorite of all the Cynster books so far, except for the first one (about Devil and Honoria).

This is one of my favorite SF romances. The hero and heroine are both admirable people. Both the romance and the SF story are well written and reinforce each other. A good read!

The author writes a great science fiction tale that is not only action packed, but also introduces us to some great characters, Mac and Gillaine. One of my favorite books by this author.


Bag Man: The Wild Crimes, Audacious Cover-up, and Spectacular Downfall of a Brazen Crook in the White House

I found this book to be very interesting -- Rachel Maddow sure knows how to tell a story!

This book was recommended to me as a good one, and it is. The hero and heroine are nice people trying to do the right thing. I really enjoyed the story.

While this was only an overview of Steve Martin's early career, I found it quite interesting since the first person point of view illuminated events that I only saw at the time as a spectator and fan. It certainly emphasizes that "stardom" is never an overnight phenomenon, even if it seems that way from outside looking in. An interesting book and a quick read.

Interesting book, and the only one I've seen so far that talks about personal safety at sea. However, it needs a good editor to help cut out some of the extraneous material.

This is my favorite of the whole series, starting from when I read the first version when Christine Warren was publishing through Ellora's Cave. Funny and sexy!

I was very amused by this book. The story is unusual, and that's what I'm always looking for. Maybe this explains why I'm always seeing those people with wings ...


The First Year: Type 2 Diabetes: An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed (First Year, The)
Review Date: 2/2/2009
Helpful Score: 2


This is a wonderful book and should be given to everyone who is diagnosed with diabetes II. The author is an experience RN, so she knows what she's talking about. The book is written in plain language, but doesn't talk down to the reader. I found it so reassuring for someone to tell me the facts of diabetes; I just wish someone had given me this book the first day, rather than finding it six months along.

I really enjoyed this book. I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of Katie MacAlister, but Hard Day's Knight was great! In my opinion, her best. The story moves really well; in fact, I couldn't put it down. The characters were well developed, basically nice people that one would want to read about. Definitely a book I can recommend.

Not a bad story.

Back cover: A storm had claimed her apartment and now Holly Garrett was without a home for the holidays. Just when she saw her plans for Christmas crumbling, a miracle came her way. The handsome firefighter who'd saved her and her cat -- and who'd injured himself in the rescue -- was now asking for her help. And he was inviting her to live with him. Sure, she could cook and clean for him while he recuperated, but was that really all he wanted?
