I have read Maryann McFadden's other books and this one didn't disappoint!  She is an amazing story teller that writes a beautiful story that you become a part of!  You can feel what the characters feel, living their fears and joys!  I have thoroughly enjoyed The Book Lover and look forward to reading many more titles by McFadden!

I purchased this book in 2011 but never read it.  Wish I had because it is more about Mary Ann, Brian, Michael, Mrs. Madrigal and Mona.  some will say it is just another book to make money but whats wrong with that.  If I could write like Armistead Maupin, Id keep writing about these characters because they are so intriguing.  This book is mostly about Mary Ann being selfish and thinking only about herself, which is just her way.  She is selfish and wants to succeed.  Always trying to prove shes not from Cleveland but....she will always be that way even if she gets a big TV show and makes her mark.  So, what about Michael.  He is now HIV positive but surviving quite well.  he and Brian are partners in the garden store.  The book just grabs you and doesnt let go.  The ending is satisfactory if not when I would have liked but it was such fun to see all the old characters from Barberry Lane.  So, get Book 6, 7, 8, and 9 and finish the saga of 28 Barberry Lane, San Francisco. Circa 1976 or so.  Great read.  He is a very talented writer.

Another great add to the series Maryann! We've meet both Nick and Bayley in previous books (separately not int he same books or scenes) but it was real quick, here we finally get the full package! When they meet in the nightclub Bayley reminded me of a cute hyper tornado and couldn't stop smiling. These two are definitely 'the odd couple' with Nick being tidy and simplistic, where she's disorderly and cluttered. This book had great added side characters like Bernie, Daphne, and Nathan (hopefully another Saint?...) Amazing story, with a little dash of Christmas time cheer and St. Nicholas-ness (yeah I'm making that a word!) that just made the story so much sweeter. Can't wait for the next. I voluntarily reviewed an 'Advance Authors Copy' of this book.

I am a HUGE fan of Terri Reid's. The husband and I both have high wired jobs, so reading Mary O'Reilly books lets us escape the stress and lose ourselves in her series. Yes, my husband reads them also. I love every one of the characters in this and in all her books. She has great development, and it's believable compared to some of the more way out there books I've read. This could be one of my neighbors. And besides that, Mary is classy. I like that.

"Tetch", by MaryAnn Myers continues in the tradition of novels about horses and the people who love them, that has made MaryAnn Myer's contribution to the genre so unforgettable and popular.

But for me, what sets this book apart is that Tetch, a woman of principle and deep wisdom, is so beautifully presented and her story is so compelling, that I was mesmerized from the first encounter with this incredible character.  I was reading the book while packing for a move to our new home, but the book was calling to me daily.  I had to stop packing, and go read more about Tetch's amazing adventures.

Some chapters brought laughter, some chapters brought tears.  And I found myself cheering Tetch on through every page.

MaryAnn gave me a new friend to admire and care about.  I hope we'll see Tetch again in another wonderful novel.

Bravo, MaryAnn!

Each of the books in the series is better than the last. I love how each character is developing and I find myself intrigued by each new character introduced. Mary's sense of humor is also great. I'm definitely addicted! Keep it up Terri!

This is another MUST READ of Mary Monroe! I have read all of her books and I absolutely loved One House Over (The Neighbors). I really liked that OHO was set in a different time because it gave me a nostalgic feeling an opportunity to read what went on back in the day. This story has a bit of everything in it that will keep you engaged.  From Joyces overbearing and aloof well off parents to Odells superficial compliments of how he loves everything about Joyce you will not be able to put this book down. Joyce had such a low self-esteem that she would believe the sky was green if Odell told her it was! The supporting characters in OHO were a trip as well. There were crazy! I finished this book in a few days because it was really good and I wanted to see what was going to happen nextnow I cant wait to see what does *hint*! MM is known for her colorful language, descriptive scenes, and LOL style.and OHO does not disappoint at all. You know the old adage the grass isn't always greener on the other side, because you still have to mow itwell Odell is mowing all kinda grass in OHO! You have to pick this up to find out! Waiting for the next one to drop Remembrancekeep them coming MM.

Just the right blend of intrigue, lush landscapes and spiritual connection. Maryann draws you into the story and keep you there to the end.

I couldn't wait to get hold of her new book. What a great story line. What a beautiful picture of God's love. I love how she weaves history through her stories. You are there!  Keep writing Marylu!  The only sad part is we have to wait to read another of her books! :(

I love this series and the Author Maryann Jordan. The characters in this series are so wonderful, you can envision each character and can almost  see them step out of the story. KATHY

Maryann Jordan has once again delivered a story that is well thought out and carries the story through from beginning to end.
Faith has a special gift that not everyone understands. In a world full of sceptics she rarely discusses it unless it is for work purposes. When she first meets Bart he is as sceptical as the rest of the world & this bothers Faith more than it should.
Bart is a facts man. He investigates and bases his decisions on data and facts. He soon learns though that not everything in life is black and white. Faith challenges everything he thought he knew.
This is a couple that are perfectly matched in every way. They are both smart intelligent people and both have huge walls built around themselves to avoid being hurt.
They soon learn though that sometimes the fall is worth closing your eyes, holding on tight & taking the leap!
Maryann has done a beautiful job bringing this couple to life. She has left no questions unanswered & has delivered a fast paced romance story that leave you feeling the love long after you have finished reading the book!

I have enjoyed all the Unseen Enemy and Dangerous Curves books.  Marysol James does not disappoint!  Great characters, great story, and great romance.  I highly recommend this author.

This book grabbed my attention from beginning to end. I could not put it down. I knew Marylu was a FANTASTIC writer, but this book has only further shown what an amazing, talented author she is. I, as with all her books have found a renewed faith through her writing. This one especially. Her way of stepping into the character and trying to understand what life would be like for a woman of color in such a dark time in history would be tough for anyone, but she made the character come alive in a way that many authors before her would have failed at. It is a very good read and I will suggest this book a hundred times over.

Another wonderful book by Mary Balogh! She is sure to become an addiction so don't resist. Read on and on it's worth every minute.

I can't get enough of Marian and Charlie. The book is well written, attention grabbing, and just plain fun. I have yet to figure out who done it before Mary Anne Edwards lets the reader know. I am a fan of this series.

Leighann does it again!  The islanders of Mooseamuck Island have another murder to deal with and the detective from the mainland is none other than Detective Zambuco himself. He does. Are for civilians investigating his cases, but that doesn't stop Claire and Dom.

Another wonderful Cozy Mystery from one of my favorites!

Roseanne did it again with yet another wonderful story! There is not one book of hers that I have read that I didn't fall in love with. Two Wolves and Claire are a perfect match. I can see a sequel to this book.
