Wonderfully entertaining

This cute story was so engaging I didn't want to stop reading until the very last page.  I adore stories with talking cats and the cat in this book was absolutely hilarious!  I kept eying my beautiful cat and wondering if  she was just too smart to actually talk out loud!  Crazy...sure!  I will  definitely be searching out more books from Tanya Huff.  Witty and  imaginative, just the ticket for a lazy, hot summer afternoon.

Five stars for pure entertainment.  I am just discovering the wonderful, wacky world of Christopher Moore and am so glad that I have.  Better late than never, cliche, but true.  Funny, intelligent and outrageous fun.  A wonderful protagonist, thoroughly evil love nun and husband, and some very interesting natives to the island all are inhabiting. Dive right in, you will not regret it.

I have enjoyed this series so much. I cannot believe it was taken off the air! It has to be one of the most entertaining shows I have seen.
THere is a delightful combination of humor, sleuthing, and of course a bit of seductive vampiric fun, all stirred together. A recipe for success.
The characters are simply magic together.  The female lead is no simpering damsel, either. The shows are just pure enjoyment to watch.
It would be great if it was brought back.

I was thoroughly entertained by this book. Some of the themes are ones we've seen before, but that didn't take away from my enjoyment. The book was well written and engaging. I typically only have time to read during my long commute, but I found myself picking this up and reading it at home too when time allowed.

I read this for free as part of my Prime monthly picks, but it would have been worth paying for. I'm following the author so that I can buy the sequel when it's published.

Brookwood Road is extremely entertaining. Scott Vaughan takes the reader through a range of emotions, often with quick although subtle changes in his writing tone. I laughed, sympathized and identified with the main character Frank as his early years in brotherhood unfolded. Some of the simple moments in time can turn into the most acute memories, and Vaughan relates that fact of life so well. Peppered with moments of making one laugh out loud, the writer always manages to underscore those moments with the deeper meaning of how those experiences shaped who the characters became later in life, lending a continuity to the entire adventure. I recommend Brookwood Road without a doubt.

This is a wonderfully fun, light hearted story that keeps one engaged.  Loved it!  We can all relate to one of these characters, struggling with various challenges in life. So many interesting twists in the story line as well.  I very much look forward to continuing on with their journey in future stories.  Can't wait for the next installment in this series.

Better As A Memory is a wonderfully entertaining story.  It grabs your attention from the first paragraph and makes you laugh and sometimes groan in frustration at the thickness of the two characters.

Victoria Sharpe, owner/founder of the image consultant firm Look Sharpe, is in desperate need of a high-profile client and a healthy cash infusion.  Accepting a job from the wealthy Julia Brown, Victoria reluctantly agrees to take on the responsibility of turning Julia's son, Max, from Mr. Mountain Man into Mr. Acceptably Corporate.  "Reluctantly" because Max was Victoria's college sweetheart who left abruptly, not giving her a reason and not knowing she was pregnant.

Max Brown had bolted during his last semester of college.  Faced with the prospect of graduating and spending his life in the company business, being a clone of his brother and father, Max had dropped out of school and taken off.  In the seven years he had been away, he had found his passion in helping troubled boys and discovered a love for being outdoors, not cooped up in an office. Max had dreams of running his own boys camp but to realize the dream, he needed capital.  Swallowing his pride, he agreed to return to the company fold for one year in order to claim the monies in his trust fund -- money he knew would be enough to start the type of camp he wanted to run.

As Victoria and Max are thrown together for business purposes, their thoughts turn to anything but business.  Neither one has forgotten the passion that they had so many years ago but would their their lives have taken different routes and their dreams are such that a collision course is threatening.  Will their relationship survive the present or is it better as a memory?

Marilyn Baxter has written a novella which hooks you from the first paragraph and doesn't let go until the ending.  It's one of those wonderful stories you enjoy as you sit in your easy chair, tea or coffee in hand.  It's easy to lose yourself in this story as the characters are real and jump off the page.

Ms. Baxter also keeps the secondary characters as real as the hero/heroine.  They play a vital part in the story and you find yourself laughing at the dialog of Sophie, Victoria's assistant, or Max's sister, Katy.  They move the story along and are entertaining in their own right.

When I got this story, I wasn't sure what to expect but once I started it, I was hooked and didn't put it down for anything until I finished it.  It was a great ride, a great read, and for it definitely fulfills the requirements for a satisfactory HEA.

Ms. Baxter is the author of the sweet and soft novella "Tea For Two" which is also delightful.  She has a deft touch when it comes to creating characters who are real and flawed and completely likeable.  The characters are like friends you have known for years and you have a vested interest in what becomes of them.

Both "Better as a Memory" and "Tea For Two" are keepers for me and I look forward to reading them over and over.

 He had also never gotten over his passion for Victoria Sharpe.

When his mother maneuvered Victoria into accepting the makeover job, he had at first been furious.

I was entertained entirely.  The characters are easily met and offer great entertainment.  I also enjoyed the surprise that splits the single story into two.  Really liked the story.

Such fun! It has been quite some time since I enjoyed a story this much. The story is well told with a totally captivating cast of characters. It is a victorian romance wrapped in an outlandish tale so well done that I found it difficult to put down and found myself reading into the wee hours of the morning only to pick it back up upon awaking to finish it! The title chosen by D. L. Carter fits so well and I haven't smiled and cringed and laughed so much while reading in ages. If you're looking for a book with excellent writing, and a story so nicely told that you can lose yourself in the sheer entertainment of it, this is the book for you. So I'll leave you here, I've purchased the second book Obstreperous and I can simply wait no longer to jump in and find out where this amazing cast of characters will take me next. Well done D. L Carter - thank you for the joy of being thoroughly entertained.

This is a wonderfully entertaining read.  It is a must if you are a dog lover, and even if you're not, you will find it enjoyable.  If you ever wonder what your dog is thinking this book will give a hilarious insight into what he maybe thinking about you and about life.  I hope Clyde is working on a sequel!

When I first saw this book I wasn't too sure about it.  However, I am happy to say that I was thoroughly entertained.  I had numerous laugh out loud moments, along with a couple of tears shed.

I loved the friendship between Jake, Gideon, and Conrad; and how they met was great.  I went to Catholic school for my entire education and could relate.  The dynamics of each character was hilarious, and I loved how the story was told in each characters view.

So many people are worried about how they "look" or how they can keep up with "The Jones" that they lose site of true love and what marriage is really about.  The book was dead on as to how things really should be; thank you Mr. Stevens for your book.

I look forward to seeing how these lives play out in a possible sequel.

Excellent entertaining and great fun!  I recommend the series.  The characters develop well and story is complex enough to keep you wanting to pick it up.

This series is the most entertaining Sci-Fi I've been able to find in quite a while. I applaud the author for creating some truly iconic characters, great humor (including some silliness that works well), and lots of twists and turns in the story. The only slight negative I can mention is that all of the books in the series need editing for minor typos and the like.  Nevertheless, the books are so well written and lively that you really don't stumble problematically over the editing flubs.  These books are so much fun to read; that's the way science fiction should be.
