Pemberley Manor 6 reviews
Kathryn L. L. Nelson
Sourcebooks Casablanca, 2008
Exceptional read
I have read a number of the continuations of "Pride and Prejudice" and "Pemberly Manor" is one of the best. It starts where the wedding of Darcy and Elizabeth leaves off and tells the true feelings of the couple during their first year of marriage.

Georgette Heyer is tops
Although not a light and humorous as some of Heyer's novels, it still holds up. When will the movie industry stop doing "Pride and Prejudice" over and over and do some of Georgette's stories. I'd love to see the "Unknown Ajax" in movie form.

Your Stress-Free Wedding Planner: Experts' Best Secrets to Creating Your Dream Wedding 5 reviews
Judy Allen
Sourcebooks Casablanca, 2004
Straightforward and helpful wedding planner
I have purchased four different wedding planners and miscellaneous wedding planning books over the last year and this is one worth buying. All the wedding related books I have purchased have some helpful things and some not so helpful things but this one I have not found a page in it that has not been helpful. The book breaks the planning process down into ten easy steps to simplify the planning ...

Regency Buck9 reviews
Georgette Heyer
Sourcebooks Casablanca, 2008
My very favorite Heyer Regency!
I have read all of Georgette Heyer's books, and Regency Buck remains my favorite -- after a few dozen readings! The mysterious plot, the wonderful dialogue, the splendid Regency settings, the chemistry between the impulsive heroine and the sardonic hero -- all these add up to a Regency masterpiece and the ultimate rainy night comfort read! (I did not, however, enjoy the audio-book version read ...

The Perfect Guide for Weddings - Inspirational - Resourceful - A Perfect Helping Hand
Being a wedding officiate for four years, I wish I had found this book for my first wedding. This book gives it all to you. The ABC's of a Wedding. Out of all the books I have purchased over the years (now collecting dust) this is the book that stays within my reach at all times. You have just become engaged, now what, or you have been officiating for a while and need something to inspire you ...

A....R E G E N C Y....B O O K....F O R....F E M I N I S T S !
ALL OF MS. HEYER'S wonderfully enthralling heroines, are -- though living in the midst of the male-dominated English Regency period -- closet feminists! Or, at least, are those with whom I am acquainted. I have yet, it seems, to read all of her numerous and wonderous books. But I have, however, read FARO'S DAUGHTER, and know, from it and the other of ther novels that I have read, that I have ...

10,000 Ways to Say I Love You 24 reviews
Gregory J.P. Godek
Sourcebooks Casablanca, 1999
Want to create a truly 'special' gift?
Although I did buy this book, I didn't read it. Instead, I bought it as an excellent way to deliver a surprise birthday gift (a diamond necklace) to my girlfriend. It was easy, creative and very well received. Here's what to do:
1. Buy the book and use a red Sharpie to draw a line through the last 0 (zero) in 10,000. Write in a 1 underneath the last zero you just drew a line through (so it now ...

The Reluctant Widow9 reviews
Georgette Heyer
Sourcebooks Casablanca, 2008
One of my favorites by Georgette Heyer
I have been reading and collecting Georgette Heyer novels since I was 18. I actually discovered them by accident in a used bookstore where my older brother had a job. (One must patronize establishments where family members are employed.)
I have loved her novels right from the start. I have read all of them more than once. Some I have read many times. The Reluctant Widow is one of the special ...

Sourcebooks Casablanca, 2008
Exciting and Witty Highly Reccomended!!!
As an avid regency era reader, i have read most of georgette heyers books, but this one (and Cotillion) is by far my favorite. It has many unexpected twists and turns, and not just another copy cat plot. Most of the romance stories I read have a predictable plot they meet each other and after a few minor set-backs agree they are the only two people for each other. Fridays Child is on a whole ...

A Study in Family Relationships
I think that in emphasizing the romance, Heyer gets short-changed as a story teller. Not to say that the romance is not enjoyable but that there is a bit more depth to this book than the evolution of a relationship between two people.
The plot of this book revolves around families-- the good, the bad, and the indifferent-- and the demands they make on their members. Abigail and Selena ...

My toast is going to be GREAT thanks to this book
As the mother of the bride, I was quite nervous about making a toast at the wedding. But after reading this book, I now know my toast is going to be TERRIFIC. I found so many great quotes and poetry to inspire me, and I loved the tips on actually delivering the toast to a room full of people. I know that my daughter is going to love what I have to say to her, and I'm not nervous at all anymore. ...

The best guide for single women everywhere
As a single, black female in my late 20s, I have continually focused on finding someone to have as my own. This book made me realize that person is me. I am SO incredibly happy being single the book made me realize I can have a fulfilling life into my 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond without being tied down to someone. The alternative to being single is not bliss (I've seen way to many messed up ...

marry your best friend....
I really liked this Heyer. Unlike many of the silly "love at first sight" stories which are found in my least favorite Heyers (where "offers" are made within days of a couple meeting), this book is about dear friends who have a second chance to find love together.
The characters are realistic and likeable-- a pleasure to spend time with. Not a fevered sort of romance, a quiet comedy of ...

Slave (The Cat Star Chronicles)19 reviews
Cheryl Brooks
Sourcebooks Casablanca, 2008
Romantica done Star Wars style.
Slave is definitely not the book for every romance reader. And it is definitely not the book for most sci-fi readers. Slave is the kind of book you get when you have a rabid Star Wars fanatic with a runaway imagination and a taste for erotica. You've been warned.
Jacinth, better known as Captain Jack, is in the market for a slave. Not just any slave will do. She needs a man, one who can clean ...

Stays with my planning stuff at all times
I'm a Maid Of Honor later this year and this book totally gave me ideas/new twists and brought up things I hadn't thought about. As a long distance MOH, the travel tips and hints were great too. I totally had no idea about some of the extra responsiblities in the reception! Yay for this book!

best of the bunch
I read a lot of books of this type, and I have to say, I really think THIS one is the best. It can be incredibly baffling and frustrating ( as well of often heartbreaking) to deal with a person or partner with NPD...but, with a book like this ( which I heavily underlined!!) I didn't feel so alone. VERY well written. GET THIS BOOK and stop tearing your hair out over 'your' NPD'er ..and it's nice ...

A Great Bridal Shower Gift!
This book is great for newlyweds. It has sections for holiday meals, and romantic cooking for 2 meals. Most meals are made to serve 2 people. There are sections about entertaining, hosting a Thanksgiving meal, etc. Great for a couple who are new to living together and are learning how to cook for two. Full color pages. I gave this book as a bridal shower gift to my friend, along with Betty ...

Unforgetable FANTASTIC Romance - Don't miss it!!
I don't usually write reviews because I feel inadequate writing them but this book is so ROMANTIC and has such great characters that I HAD to share my excitement and joy from reading it. I finished reading this book a couple days ago and the first thing I wanted to do was RE-READ it. There are so many cherished parts.
I couldn't start reading another book because this book would not leave me. ...

A Great List of Ideas to Spark your Creativity
First off, it's important to realize this is a reference tome. You really don't sit down and read through the 1,001 suggestions one after another, like reading a novel! This book is nicely broken up into sections. If you need an idea for a romantic movie, you flip to that section. If it's ideas for a special night out, you go to that section. This is the perfect book to leave in the bathroom or ...
