Books on Sale: Exclusively Yours by Shannon Stacey & More

RECOMMENDED: Exclusively Yours by Shannon Stacey is .99 until tomorrow! This is book 1 in the Kowalskis series, and it’s just terrific. I reviewed this book when it came out in 2010 and wrote, “I had such a good old time reading this book. There were some flaws to the plot but while reading it, I was charmed and giggly and totally absorbed. This book made me happy. That’s probably the best way to put it: it made me smile. A lot. Books like this are why I read romance.” It was a Sizzling Book Club selection as well. If you like contemporary comedy, this is a great deal.

Review: Taken With You by Shannon Stacey

Review: Taken With You by Shannon Stacey

I really like contemporary romances with simple conflicts. I don't need serial killers or marriages forced upon people by really sketchy wills from dead relatives – or secret babies, either, if I'm making a list. The problem with simple conflicts is that they can be really tricky to sustain through an entire novel. The conflict has to be big enough to keep issues between the couple but not so big it's impossible to overcome those … Continue reading Review: Taken With You by Shannon Stacey

Books on Sale: Contemporary Awesomesauce from Shannon Stacey, Jude Deveraux, and Molly O’Keefe

RECOMMENDED: All He Ever Needed by Shannon Stacey is .99c right now. The Kowalski series seems to be dropping in price out of order, so you might already have some of the other titles. I really enjoyed this book, especially the heroine, who is strong and independent and looking to establish her home. Stacey's schtick, “This is only temporary so long as I'm in town, oh wait, no it's not” works SO well here. This … Continue reading Books on Sale: Contemporary Awesomesauce from Shannon Stacey, Jude Deveraux, and Molly O’Keefe

Be Mine: by Jennifer Crusie, Victoria Dahl, and Shannon Stacey:  A Guest Review by CarrieS

Be Mine is a Harlequin anthology containing three novellas.  The one by Jennifer Crusie (Sizzle) is a re-release and Too Fast to Fall (by Victoria Dahl) and Alone With You (by Shannon Stacey), are new. Since the plots are lighter than air, I shall sum them up in just one run-on sentence each, followed by a mini-review of each story: Sizzle:  Marketing Executive falls for the new guy who oversees her budget. Too Fast to … Continue reading Be Mine: by Jennifer Crusie, Victoria Dahl, and Shannon Stacey:  A Guest Review by CarrieS

All He Ever Dreamed by Shannon Stacey

All He Ever Dreamed by Shannon Stacey

While the Kowalski novels are rapidly becoming comfort re-reads for me, especially the first and third ones, and while I'm always happy to go visit all the characters and see that they retain as much personality as they had in their own novels, this book ended up being more of a visit for the sake of everyone else. I didn't keep reading because I was transfixed and drawn to the lead characters. There wasn't anything … Continue reading All He Ever Dreamed by Shannon Stacey

All He Ever Desired by Shannon Stacey

All He Ever Desired by Shannon Stacey

I've been trying to figure out how to review this book since I finished it. It's going to be difficult to avoid spoilers or a frank discussion of the end of the book, which is the part I had the most problems with, so I'm going to divide this review into two parts. Part the first: spoiler free, and excitingly vague. Part the second, marked by a big ol' line, will be more frank and … Continue reading All He Ever Desired by Shannon Stacey
