I got this book at the library so I'm not a verified purchaser; although it's so good I'm going to buy it (and sisters.)
I never put spoilers in my reviews.
This author is hilarious!!! Even if you aren't into vampires you'll love this book. it's absolutely the most unique take on this 'subject' and the irreverent, snarky, caring, indomitable lead will have you laughing out loud.
Read, laugh, enjoy.

Others have said plenty about this novel. I just want to give it another one of those five stars! The style is so unique, so catchy, so funny. And those who didn't like it, quite clearly did not make much of an attempt to love it. The opening page of two words, one of which I cannot write here because Amazon censors, is so funny because the reader doesn't expect it. And then the next page reveals who she wants to do that to her. And off you go into the worlds of these two guys, and O and then the back stories of the hippies, and the drugs and the... Well, just read the other reviews. Bravo! Bravo! I can't wait to read the sequel which just happens to have been written and published first.

I have always been drawn to joke books, ever since I was a little kid over half a century ago. Most have been disappointing. THIS one was original, funny, clean, and seriously well worth reading. I honestly laughed out loud at a bunch of these! I rarely laugh out loud at anything in a joke or riddle book, only occasionally laugh out loud at jokes I see in a certain magazine whose name I won't say (initials are R.D.), and occasionally laugh at a joke I hear, although most of those are not suitable for publication and really aren't funny... they're the kind you laugh at in hopes the teller will stop with that one and not tell another.

But I digress. I laughed out loud at a lot of the jokes in this book... definitely a much higher percentage than in any other joke book I've ever read. When I read them to my wife, I think she only laughed at one of them. It has long been known that men and women are wired differently when it comes to humor (consider "The Three Stooges" for example; most women just don't 'get' them, while most guys will blow beer out their noses laughing so hard, even after seeing the same episode 100 times). This book is just further proof of that difference between the genders.

I highly recommend this book for all guys! I also recommend it for any women who do not like what I said about gender differences, and want to prove me wrong. I hope you DO prove me wrong, and laugh out loud at these jokes just like I did! If you don't, you can always gift the book to a male friend of yours; he'll appreciate it!

I LOVED this book! I have honestly never laughed out loud reading a book before. This author is witty, clever, and funny....whilst still having the ability to weave romance and mystery through the story. Quite a feat. The characters are strongly drawn, and the personalities are as eclectic as the authors humour. I slowed down my reading pace towards the end of the book, because I truly did not want it to end.
I have now also read books 2 & 3, and can't wait for the next book in the series.

I've never, in my whole life, laughed so hard while reading a book! I don't want to give anything away, but I will tell you this: If you don't mind irreverence, colorful language, and the coming of age experiences of a teenage boy, HANG ON TO YOUR HAT! You will LOVE this book! It's philosophical & comedic on subjects nobody EVER talks about! It's politically incorrect to the extreme in the funniest way imaginable! I LOVED it!!!!

After A Fashion was a book I wasn't sure of initially, but became very glad that I decided to read it. This was one of the most entertaining books I've read in a long time. The main character, Harriet, had a wit that was very amusing to read. The interactions between her and Oliver, the other main character, were original and interesting.

The plot was crazy original, so much so that I really had no idea what was going to happen most of the time (not so crazy as to lose interest, though). The ending caught me by total surprise. It caught me by surprise, and unraveled in such a way that I felt like I was in Harriet's shoes, being totally blown away and caught off guard as it happened. This was definitely a refreshing read after a semester of reading for school!

I would definitely recommend this books. I'll also be holding onto this book for my personal collection; I'm sure I'll reread it at some point in the future. I received a free copy of this book from the publisher for this review. These opinions are my own; I was not required to write a positive review, nor was I compensated for this review.

When a friend lent me this book, I really didn't have any expectations, I found the title silly and thought it was going to be another wallbanger after a couple of chapters besides I didn't know the writer at all. Well ladies, was I wrong! It s a very funny, entertaining, well written story and with a lot of hawt lurv, if you know what I mean :-P .the other reviewer made a good job of explaining the story so no sense in going at it again, just let me tell you that after I finished TSTL I immediately peeled off my MasterCard and bought the first one in this series "whitetail rock", which is Jurgen and Rik' story. Very very recommended :-D

This may be the most hilarious book I've ever read.  Seriously, when you get to the part about the main character Google -ing himself, pay attention. At times, I was forced to stop reading due to my own hysterical laughter. It's wonderful satire, well developed characters, and impeccable writing. I wish the author had more books available. I've read the 3 that I could find. But I'd honestly read anything this guy writes....shopping lists notwithstanding.  Need a good laugh?  Get this book!

I have to confess that I love Geralyn Corcillo's writing, which means I'm predisposed to like her books.  This book was so much fun to read. It can be read as a stand alone, but for those who have read any of Ms. Corcillo's other books, the incorporation of characters from those books enhances the enjoyment of this one. I love some of the quirky fun of it, the mental references to urban legends for instance and the humorous fun with language usage (bread basket and it's meaning).  I loved the variety of perspectives in this book. It was a fresh take and brought so much to the story to see it from so many different eyes all looking at the same situation and each picking up on different aspects of it. I alternately laughed out loud, cringed, hoped and celebrated. I don't want to post any spoilers in this review.  I will simply say that the plot continued to surprise me and I would never have envisioned the end as it played out, but was delighted with it.

I totally loved this book! Made me laugh my head off! It was hilarious!
I liked a lot Colby, Aunt Chloe, Thomas and Piper!
Colby is a very brave kick-ass and often so funny that made me laugh most of the time.
Aunt Chloe is awesome! she was funny as well some times and a very lovely old lady.
Thomas is just incredibly sexy and cute and caring. How could you not fall in love with him?
Piper is a very nice girl and a good friend. What will happen with Carl? Hmmm we'll see in the next book I guess.
Colby's parents are awesome too. Her father is really something. A crazy orthodontist! And her mother is very practical and a strong woman. And it's clear they both love Colby immensely.
Charles (or Chuck) was kind of creepy. And obviously a tad bit insane.
Aidan is just a stupid jerk. And Allison is a b*tch. Hateful.

I also liked the story, very original and funny. I smiled, chuckled and laughed almost all the time. For the remaining time I was either swooning or tensing for a fight or something else.

Fantastic, clever writing, original and hilarious while providing a unique lens to the so-called post racial society we live in today. Loved it.

This review is for Queen of the Throne, by Shari J. Ryan

So, I've never read a story like this. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but laughing at something most people going through wouldn't find laughable- was an excellent surprise! I gave 5 stars, and without giving too much away, here's an overview:

Plot: For a short story in an anthology, I was so pleased that the plot had no loose ends. There was a problem, followed by an exploration of the problem, and it ended with a resolution. Yes, if you want to know what happens afterward, Mrs. Ryan would have to expand into full book mode, but it is not necessary. I did not feel that this believable story was incomplete or cut short in the middle.

Characters: Sydney wants what most women want, but she has a mortifying secret only her roommates since college (and her old grizzled doctor) know about. Dating has become unbearable and next to impossible, as her condition gets worse and remains undiagnosed... Until she meets Noah, the unlikely hero she didn't know she needed.

The Writing: The story flowed well and was an easy read. Told from the main character Sydney's POV, it allowed me to empathize with her on a flustering & totally new hysterical level of discomfort!

In Case You Wanted to Know: This is a s***ty story. Literally. S.J.R. brilliantly finds a way to make an embarrassing aspect of the character's life, funny. Not every writer would have the guts to talk about, let alone tackle with sarcastic wit, such a sensitive topic as IBS. But this author blows it up like a bathroom after too many tacos!

Overall: S.J.R. Did a great job! Humor is so terribly hard to convey on paper, yet, this lady nailed it! This was my first story of Shari's that I've read, and I truly loved it!
