Order Up is a fun lighthearted read. It is a part of the Assignment Series, however each stands alone.
The main character Nancy struggles in life in general building and maintaining relationships and not allowing others to "control her"

Mixing real life struggles and insecurities with every girl's fantasy of connecting with a band and a bunch of funny hijinks along the way makes for a fun, entertaining read that makes you root for them all. You smile and can't wait for the next one. (Seriously! I'm waiting for the next one right now!) A light-hearted read.

I enjoyed this book: the heroine is competent without being super-heroic, smart, sarky, with moments of vulnerability, and 'felt' like a real person.  High prose it isn't, but it was a light-hearted, fun read, and I would definitely recommend it to my friends.  I look forward to the next book!

I enjoyed this book. Unusual to read a romance written from male viewpoint. I also love the friendship between Gabe and his assistant Cooper. Gabe is a successful  man who is looking for Mrs Right. He has had several unsucessful tries and one very disappointing failure and is wary about continuing his search for love when he unexpectedly finds Mrs Right . It is a pleasant light hearted  read and perfect when you just want easy non complicated read. Well drawn characters and kept my attention.  Chick Lit at its Best.

I received this book in exchange for a review.  This book is lighthearted and funny with a twist. I love books where there is a mix of younger and older characters because each can learn from the other and this is a bit of my own life!

This was such a fun book to read.  The characters were hilarious and some of the things that were said are things we've all thought but never had the nerve to say.  It was just a fun read, one to surely put you in good mood

Reviewing on behalf of Relentless Book Chics Ramblings and Reviews

I love DH Sidebottoms dark books but I haven't read anything by Andie M. Long so I thought Id start with The Bunk Up.
Daisy has been with her boyfriend 8 years and thought her life was all worked out until she went home one day and found him in bed with his mistress.

As if that isn't bad enough, Daisy also gets made redundant from the Post Office so now heartbroken, homeless and jobless, shes forced to stay at her best friends house where the evil pixies also live (her friends 3 children).

The light at the end of the tunnel comes from an unexpected source, Daisys least favourite customer at the Post Office Mrs Haversham who offers her cottage in Norfolk as a getaway for a few weeks so she can get her thoughts and feelings straight and relax.

The village of Beydon is small and everyone knows everyone elses business and when Daisy arrives she meets some interesting characters in the village square. Finally at the cottage and looking forward to going to sleep, shes horrified when she finds a man already in the bed.
Frazer is Mrs Hs other son who Daisy knew nothing about but as both of them insist they are staying at the cottage, they come to a mutual agreement that benefits them both and decide to Bunk up for some no strings fun.

The boundaries of their agreement begin to blur and both of them are quite stubborn which makes for some really funny scenes and Daisys mum causes a few problems too.

I enjoyed this story and liked all the characters; some of the situations Daisy got into were hilarious.  Daisys mum has to be the most embarrassing parent on the planet and I cringed when I read some of her scenes.  There was a bit of everything, humour, friendship, romance and reunions. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a light, fun romance.

Love the lighthearted dialog and spunky characters.  A few creepy details combined with just enough humor to make this a fun read.

Super Cute light rom-com read. A fun Mish mash of family dynamics and workplace shenanigans .

I like the journey Bev went on when she was forced into a situation she didn't think she was ready for. How she discovered her own self worth and a backbone in the midst of a tonne of life changes was an enjoyable romp!

Definitely checking out more of Gretchen Galway's other works.

A very fun read for those who might need a reality check before they enter the fashion business. Well written and the author gives you a good giggle on what it takes to make it to the top. This is a delight of a read.

From the beginning of the book I was laughing at the drama that is Kate's life. This is a light hearted fun read right up until Kate looses her home. Kate is a DJ and news announcer with fantasies of a hero to sweep her off her feet. She was let down in a previous relationship and therefore has trust issues. Leaving work one evening she arrives in time to see her home on fire. It's a condo complex and everyone is left homeless.

The fire traps a little boy, her neighbor who she immediately rescues as she remembers there is a ladder on the side of the building. The fire department arrives to put out the flame but not before Lieutenant Matt Lewis starts a fire of his own in Kate. After he catches her when she faints from smoke inhalation and seeing her to an ambulance he randomly appears several times later on, as the Mayor and the fire department chief wanted to give her a commendation.

The heated attraction between them soon has them in each others arms creating flames not even the fire department could put out. This was a fun, entertaining sweet romance with some intense sex scenes, right up until a female from Matt's past shows up to his apartment right after the most amazing sex claiming to be his girlfriend. I loved the story and the characters of which there are several and can't wait to find out how Matt explains this new development.

Feminine Touch by Adrienne Regard
Contemporary Romance - May 12, 2010
4 Stars

This book starts out on a game show where Monica Moreland meets three bachelors and picks one--but not for dating!  She is supposed to be redesigning his pad.  Only the bachelor, Jerrod O'Neal seems to be anything but what he seems.  As Monica and Jerrod get to know each other better, things only get more unbelievably fun.  Their adventure extends far beyond what is expected in a typical romance novel, out of the bedroom, and into the dog house, on set, and into uncharted territories.

I really liked the humor in this novel, it had a good mix of characters that interacted well together and also made me more interested in them and how things would work out. I didn't enjoy reading Monica's point of view in the first person.  It felt like I was reading her mind, and I guess, I didn't want the character to tell me everything. Other than that it was a good fun story with characters that were in an unusual situation but had the ability to handle things in an exciting and interesting way for the reader to enjoy.

I found the story to be very endearing and heartwarming. It's a great contemporary romance novel with the right touch of humor and a fun lighthearted story that has a great mix of characters and romantic fun.

some parts were hilarious like the one where madison announced that she and jared are getting married as a joke but it backfired now they will have to marry since it was a request of a dying aunt. but just like any story the protagonist  and the leading man or woman begins to to fall in love with each other.

the story was refreshing and a bit uplifting. over all I would give it a 4.8

This was a wonderful light hearted read which is just what I needed to get back into my reading groove.  Can you imagine having to start a new school filled with snooty teenagers who look down upon you just because you are not descended from a god?  Welcome to Phoebe's life.  I really felt sorry for Phoebe as she is dealt one whammy after another.  Her mom comes back from a trip with a fiance, then announces they are moving immediately to Greece and then slams her with the revelation that her new step-dad is descended from a god as are every other person in her new school.  If that is not enough to drive you away screaming then throw in a mom who is a psychologist and tries to psycho-babble you through it all.

Phoebe's character was fun as were the two friends she makes in her new school.  The part of the book that threw me was I was not sure who Phoebe would end up with.  She started out having a crush on the uber-good looking guy who happens to also be on the track team with her but he turns out to be a jerk--or is he?  Then throw in the cute, nice guy who befriends her when few other people in their school do and happens to have a crush on her.  Who will she pick?  You have to read the book to find out.  This is the perfect book if you are looking for something to make you laugh.

I enjoyed reading this book. Made me smile, some romance with humor mixed in. It reminded me a little of Marcia Lynn McClure's books. It was the perfect light-read for me when I needed it.

This was an entertaining romantic comedy from Kelly Siskind, this is the first time I have read one of her books and it won't be the last. Sometimes we want a fun read that will bringa smile to your face. The one thing I loved was they were two normalpeople. Ainsley is a personal shopper who is tired of buying gifts for cheating husbands wives and girlfriends, it makes her uncomfortable. So to make herself feel better she volunteersatAHabitat for Humanity project. There she meets Owen, at first thinking he is gay and they become friends. Owen is making hand made furniture and volunteering at the same site as Ansley. The sexual tension is there from the beginning, and once Ansley finds out he isn't gay. Its full steam ahead, and not a Billionairein sight.
This is witty and enjoyable romantic comedy, and the sexual tension between Owen and Ainsley was HOT.Unfortunately theyboth had previous failed relationships, thateffected the way they view each other. What follows is comedy of errors, love and misunderstandings. I love Owen he was a sweetie, and fell for Ainsley straight away. As we know the path to true love is never smooth. Also a good cast of characters to support the main couple. If you like a good laugh this is for you. I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
