Love Stinks Book Review





About the Book
Robin Wagner has had it with that silly little thing called "love." Who needs it? Not her! She already made that mistake once and had a lousy ex-husband and thousands of dollars of debt to show for it. Robin's friends and family think she needs to try again, so Robin decides to give internet dating a try. Before she can weed through the losers and find someone new, an old friend from her past shows up on her doorstep...literally. Luke Everman was the life of every party back in school, but the scarred Army veteran that shows up to fix her wiring is a different man with wounds both emotional and physical. Will Robin be able to take a risk on giving her heart again or will she settle for someone else who isn't a danger to her heart? Robin never can seem to do things the easy way, and love is no different. No matter which way she turns, she can't avoid the simple fact that love stinks!


About the Author
Paulette Oakes is a married mother of three lovely daughters that give her gray hair daily. She's lived in Kentucky her whole life and loves her state and the people in it...most of the time.She is an avid reader and has been writing on and off since she was 12 years old and has wanted to be an author forever. She started by publishing her first ever book, "The Garden of Good and Eden" in September 2013 and she couldn't be more excited! She loves to write paranormal/fantasy fiction mixed with a dose of reality, but she also has some contemporary romance novels, too. More than anything else, She just wants people to enjoy her book and love the characters as much as she does. She loves when readers give her honest feedback in reviews, even if it is just a sentence or two. If the majority of readers enjoy her books, that will be the real measure of her success as a storyteller.

My Thoughts
When I read romance I prefer the comedy variety. What is love if not a big joke played on us? :) Robin is just the sort of person I like. She is smart alecky, cheeky and fun. I loved her revised dating profile. Online dating would be a lot easier if everyone put honest answers like that.  And Luke, what's not to love about a sexy studmuffin who happens to be a veteran? I really enjoyed the book but it was a bit over the top with the crude language which added nothing to the book and the constant sexual references. If the book were tamed down a bit then I would totally love it.

Cassidy Lane Ebook Review



About the Book
From the author who brought us the unforgettable Waverly Bryson and the bestselling Perfect on Paper series.

Bestselling author Cassidy Lane walks into her twentieth high school reunion with several novels under her belt, but no date on her arm, and deep down she still feels like the smart girl no one asked to the prom. Then handsome Brandon Forrester confesses his teenage crush, and soon Cassidy finds herself swept up in a modern-day fairytale romance not unlike the tales she spins for a living. While their relationship blossoms, however, the new book she’s writing isn't going as well, and for the first time in her career she considers crafting an ending that doesn't include a proverbial walk into the sunset. Contemplating the simultaneous reversal of her own romantic fortune and that of her protagonist’s is daunting, but maybe it’s time for both her writing and her personal life to take a new path. Or is it?

Filled with Murnane’s trademark wit and optimism, a charming cast of secondary characters, and loads of heart, Cassidy Lane will have you cheering for its heroine down to the very last delightful word.

My Thoughts
This is the second book I have read by Maria Murnane. I loved this book so much. I loved the characters and the plot line. I really enjoy Maria's books because each character has been someone I could identify with in my life. I have had dreams of being a writer and it was interesting to see how Cassidy managed the writing process. I get tired of reading the same old romance story where boy meets girl, boy and girl fight all the time, boy and girl miraculously fall in love and get married and live happily ever after because that isn't how my life has went. I hate to put in a spoiler but I think most of us have had a relationship that just didn't work out no matter how much we wanted it to. I love books that are about characters that I could know and be friends with in my life. Maria is definitely on my top 5 author list.
