It was fun to get another chance to read some more about the Chinooks Hockey team and get Sam's story, but this time it was a bit tough to become invested in the characters. Nothing really seemed to explain the change in Sam LeClaire and why he ignored his son for 5 years and now has a change of heart? Why is he attracted to Autumn now and is willing to stick?
The fun and humor in the story was there and so were some hot/steamy scenes, the kid, Connor, stole the show with not being a good hockey player and trying to get his parents together. But in the end, I didn't really care if Sam and Autumn got together or not because I never really felt like they explained what changed between them or convinced me that they could make marriage work.
Still worth reading, but my least favorite of the Hockey/Chinooks series.

Quintessential Christie! It was a real delight to discover this "new to me" book by my favorite author.

his book follows the In Death formula that the author has employed to make this series so popular. It's an interesting murder mystery, the killer is not immediately obvious, and the plot makes sense. It was cool to some previous events come to happen, in particular the movie premier for the Icove mystery (Origin in Death). Although once again I have to stick it to the author a little ... Eve doesn't need Roarke to solve this mystery, so why must he be brought into this special consultant role for routine matters. Let's save the zillionaire's expertise for terrorists, etc. I could understand if speed was critical to stop another murder, but it wasn't. Let the crimestoppers do their job while Roarke works to make another billion or two.

Not my favorite contemporary romance by any stretch of the imagination. It was very difficult to get invested in Megan and Alex, related to their distrust of each other, and to even care by the end of the book. This book seemed to be written to connect sex scenes, lacking any real plot. YMMV.

A cute book that will remind you a bit of the movie Baby Boom with Diane Keaton. It's fun to read what happens when a Wall Street Wannabe gets hit with an unexpected detour in their career. Fate should never be underestimated!

Enjoyed the first book in this series, Deep VooDoo, and was anxious to read this one. It was disappointing and not quite as good as the first. Gloria and Zane were hard to get into and care about and there seemed to be a lot of repetition of the same information.

I giggled and smiled as I read this and like the characters was sucked into like the heroine, Fleur Daxeny, despite my resolution not to like her at all. It's a cute book, and having read some of Sophie Kinsella's later stuff, it's nice to see how she's grown as an author. More closure at the end would have been nice, it was like her editor said no more words and she rushed to finish, but still an enjoyable read. I would pick up more of her work as Mdeleine Wickham without hesitation.

For me, this book was one of Jackson's better efforts. It started slowly for the first fifty pages, but once the story framework was set up, I could not put it down. This is one of the more fulfilling stories Jackson has told. The characters are full, quirky and she makes us understand where each of them: Laurel, Thalia, David, and Laurel's mother, end up where they do in life and how that effects Laurel. The town of Delop could be one of several in Alabama and it's description is chillingly realistic. For me... I'm going to stick my neck out and see this is her best book yet.

Not the best cozy mystery I've ever read by a long shot. This one found the protagonist getting on my nerves in every aspect of her life: Professional, romance, and family. She's got quite a chip on her shoulder. There was enough for me to hang with it, especially after being told that the series gets better.

This was cute and enjoyable. Not your typical romance but very satisfying all the same.

I enjoyed this book and Rachel Gibson is a fun romance author to read.
