The Betrayal of the Blood Lily (Pink Carnation, Bk 6) (Audio CD) (Unabridged)
Review Date: 12/4/2014


I love this series. Well written and I love the juxtaposition between the historical storyline and the modern. Willig has a way with the characters and the dialog that is so real. It's very conversational in tone, making it a quick read and yet it's also witty with great little plots. There are romantic overtones, but nothing too racy, which I think often detracts from the writing of other authors. Highly recommended.

Hated it, hated it, hated it. Poorly written, monotonous and repetitive dialog, and I didn't care about the characters AT ALL. I have no problem with the sex, but I did have a problem with the heroine's willingness to humiliate herself because of her lukewarm interest in this "bad boy". I've never written a review before, but was moved to do this one if I could spare just one person from wasting their time with it.

I love this series! It's well written and each one is about a different couple, so you're less prone to boredom with the characters after multiple books.


The Masque of the Black Tulip (Pink Carnation, Bk 2) (Unabridged Audio CD)
Review Date: 11/13/2013


I really like this series. Intelligently written, they're a cross between Jane Austin, Bridget Jones' Diary and spy thriller. The characters are interesting, and well formed and there's plenty of humor. Probably crosses over into chic-lit a little bit, but still, smart.

My 2 1/2 year old granddaughter LOVES Max and Ruby and this is a great book she can relate to. Living in Minnesota, she understands snow.

Based on the cult "60's TV series starring Patrick MacGoohan, this is a well-written little psychological thriller.


You've Earned It, Don't Lose It : Mistakes You Can't Afford to Make When You Retire
Review Date: 10/4/2014


Easily read, Suze cuts through the gibberish of most other books. This is a great source when you just want a better understang of what the various tools can do for you. It increased my confidence for seeking legal and financial advice from professionals because I knew what specific questions I needed to ask them about.
