REVIEW: Sweet Trouble by Susan Mallery

September 9, 2008

Book Cover Limecello's review of Sweet Trouble (Bakery Sisters, Book 3) by Susan Mallery
Contemporary romance released by HQN on 1 Sep 08

The third and final book to Susan Mallery’s Bakery Sisters books was well written and enjoyable. At the same time, this book was a bit predictable, as much of what I suspected how the book would pan out was true. Jesse was my least favorite sister (keep in mind I loved Claire and Nicole), but her story is still definitely worth reading. Sweet Trouble is a great end to the trilogy, and it’s nice that Jesse and Matt’s story isn’t short changed simply because it’s last. Read more

REVIEW: Sweet Spot by Susan Mallery

Contemporary romance published by Harlequin on 1 Aug 08

I thought that Sweet Talk was a good book, but Sweet Spot blew it out of the water. This may be my favorite book I've read all summer - possibly longer. It might be the happy book high, but I know that's not all. This is definitely one of my favorite Susan Mallery novels. Read more

MUCH love for Sweet Spot by Susan Mallery…

August 5, 2008

Book CoverSeriously - go read it - but read it first cuz I think you might hatttteeessss her (the heroine, Nicole) if you read the first book first (Sweet Talk). Can't wait to see what Lime thinks and will even try and finish my review if I can get to it.

Why am I so bouncy happy about it right now, when I read it months and months ago? Because it has a soft spot in my cold, black heart as I reread the series while under house arrest. It made me smile while I was trying not to freak the hell out. Read more

Review: Sweet Talk by Susan Mallery

July 11, 2008

book cover Limecello's review of Sweet Talk (Bakery Sisters, Book 1) by Susan Mallery (caution! music on the site!)
Contemporary romance published by HQN 1 Jul 08

I really enjoy Susan Mallery's books - both her novels, and the categories she writes. There's a special quality to her writing that keeps me coming back for more. In a way, I equate her with Diana Palmer - because her writing is loosely formulaic, and in a way you know what you're going to get (N.B. I mean this as a good thing). Ms. Mallery is an author I make note of, and read her books as soon as I can get my hands on them. In fact, I pretty much picked up Sweet Talk at 1 AM, and read it until I finished it at 4 AM.

Duckies Do SeriesSandy M's review of The Buchanan Family Series by Susan Mallery
Contemporary Romances published by HQN Books

Hello, everyone! And welcome to our first Duckies Do Series review!

I've had this series in that big old TBR mountain, as ya'll called it, for a while now. I recently ran across an excerpt from the last book, Tempting, and really liked it, so I had that on my mind when thinking about which series to start with and I think I made a pretty darned good choice.

Accidentally Yours by Susan MallerySandy M's review of Accidentally Yours by Susan Mallery
Contemporary romance released 1 Jan 08 by HQN Books

I think someone goofed with the back cover blurb on this book (see below). It makes it sound like, No. 1, everything in the book takes place from a newspaper ad, which is not even close to what happens, and, No. 2, the read is all lightness and airy, which is only partly true. Somebody should have read the book before they wrote this thing. Read more
