Funny, fast, beautiful prose and colorful characters

More, you're going to fall in love with Helen and her friends. I am enchanted by novels where I find myself wishing to meet the characters.

Mr. Monk and The Two Assistants (The Monk Series)25 reviews
Lee Goldberg
NAL Hardcover, 2007
MONK: the 4th book!
Lee Goldberg knows his characters and that is good because Monk is such a great character. I really think that if certain books would make a great episode this could be one of them. Granted the logistics of having Sharona and Natalie as helpers to Monk may seem tedious and nit-picky, in Monk's mind that would be alright. The story is great and very well written. The characters stay true to form ...

Dr. Jadick is a strong writer that guides the reader through the hardships that military personnel experienced first hand (this includes him as well)in the leadup to and actual battle for Fallujah. Instead of coming across as a we kill these blankity blanks yeah yeah stuff what you ...

Defining Moments (The Prodigal Husband Series #2)22 reviews
Jacquelin Thomas
NAL Hardcover, 2006
give me more!!!
This book is what got me hooked on Jacquelin Thomas. After I read Redemption, I was looking for something else of hers and found this one. The sequel, The Prodigal Husband have been a few of the best reads that I have found in the African American literature. I am not a big romance fan, but the love in this book would make anyone a believer in true love and faith.
