Rachel's Holiday178 reviews Marian Keyes Avon A, 2002 A great read! + It was...serious? + Despite the "Officer and a Gentleman" Ending, a Winner + fascinating look at addiction, that is amusing as well + You become a part of Rachel's life....             Restoring Grace8 reviews Katie Fforde Arrow, 2005 Review by Tammy for Fallen Angel Reviews + Friends are the family you choose + I love Katie Fforde's books + Lovely             Let's Meet On Platform 8 (Red Dress Ink)17 reviews Carole Matthews Red Dress Ink, 2004 Bittersweet tale of infidelity Teri literally runs into Jamie on a London platform while both are rushing for a homeward bound train. Rather than leave her in a crumpled heap, Jamie helps her clean her knee, replaces her pantyhose, and sees her home. Soon, the two are looking forward to meeting on the train in and out of work, ...             For Better, for Worse: A Novel75 reviews Carole Matthews Avon A, 2002 Very light read. + Sweet, Silly Fluff It took me only a couple of days to read this book. It completely pulled me in and I didn't want to stop reading till I find out what is going to happen and who she is going to end up with. I really liked it. Very easy and quick read. Quite relaxing too.             Bare Necessity18 reviews Carole Matthews Avon A, 2003 Coupling + Over the top humor + Could things get any worse for the protaganist? This reminded me of the TV series Coupling. Not the tepid American remake, but the original British series with its slapstick situations and witty dialogue. The plot is a comedy of errors, with the reader aware of all the entanglements, while the main character continues to have obstacles put in ...             Watermelon265 reviews Marian Keyes Avon A, 2002 Loved it. + What a Way to Start a Brand New Baby's Life! This book is such great entertainment! The sisters, the crazy mammy, it's funny and great.             Paradise Fields4 reviews Katie Fforde St. Martin's Press, 2004 Fforde At Her Very Best + A charming story + Very Nice Read There is no such thing as a bad Katie Fforde book, but Paradise Fields, her latest, is simply quintessential Katie: charming, funny, witty, engaging and a joy to read. Here is the story of just-over-40 widow Nel Innes, who thinks of herself as an over-the-hill dowdy "old thing," a perception not ...             Artistic License9 reviews Katie Fforde St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2003 Brit Chic Lit is fun. A pleasant read but I'm not sure why Katie Fforde writes so often about women who are frazzled from juggling too many responsibilities. They are always tired. Still, I enjoyed reading "Artistic License", though not as much as "Second Thyme Around".             Caroline's Sister2 reviews Sheila O'Flanagan Poolbeg Press, 1998 Test Of Sisterly Love + A good read I absoulutley enjoyed reading "Caroline's Sister". Sheila O'Flanagan is such a brilliant writer and can make a story seem so real. Her simple description of Caroline's sister leads to the unexpected climax of the story. One would never anticipate that Tesa's actions would lead to the seperation of ...             With or Without You Carole Matthew Headline Book Publishing, 2004             Lucy Sullivan Is Getting Married227 reviews Marian Keyes Avon A, 2002 I Certainly Love Lucy This is definitely one of my favorite Marian Keyes books; it was the first one of her impressive resume that I read, and it retains a place in my heart and gives me warm fuzzies when I think about it. It shows Keyes' ability and further potential (given that it's one of her earliest novels) as a ...             More To Life Than This (Red Dress Ink)11 reviews Carole Matthews Red Dress Ink, 2006 Good book with no actual ending I enjoyed reading the book and was surprised with some of the reviews as I continued my reading. It was easy to read and one of those reads where you want to know what happens next. However, the book is completely cut off with no ending. The story is developing throughout the book and has a ...             Sushi for Beginners: A Novel108 reviews Marian Keyes Avon A, 2005 Contagious !!! Funny !! + A good story with interesting twists This book is so funny. This is the first book from Marian Keyes that I read. After this book, I had to go to the bookstore and buy everything she has written. Her books are full of great characters, looks of fun things going on with the story line and returning characters in her books. Always ...             Too Good to be True8 reviews Sheila O'Flanagan Downtown Press, 2004 It was really good! + Can a one night stand lead to "happily ever after"? I just read this book a few weeks ago, and last night while I was sitting in my car I started thinking about it again, and am now re-reading it. I am a fan of O'Flanagan's books, and this one did not let me down. It is just such a good story. Okay, maybe it's not totally believable, but hello!! ...             Anybody Out There?: A Novel141 reviews Marian Keyes William Morrow, 2006 Another great my Marian Keyes + Wonderful Escape + Visit with a good friend I love Marian Keyes, especially the books about the Walsh sisters. I was really happy to have one about Anna, the "flighty" sister. This book was wonderful: I laughed out loud, and cried. I recommend this to anyone who wants a great book about characters that actually have depth and feeling to them!             The Tenko Club1 review Elizabeth Noble Hodder & Stoughton Paperbacks, 2005 Poignat story of friendship, loyalty & love Freddie Sinclair is having a bad day.

I swear, I started dreaming about boats after reading it. The second time I read it, I had read it in a day! It's still wonderful everytime I read it! It's very well written, and an absolute favorite. I even bought it for a few friends for Christmas!             Just Between Us14 reviews Cathy Kelly Downtown Press, 2006 Amazing family drama! + A Well Woven Tale + A little on the cheesy side, but was a great read! Contemporary and heartwarming, this story is about a family who seems to have it all until one day they start having to open up one by one until they realize that everyone has ups and downs. Cathy Kelly does a tremendous job of making the characters sympathetic and believable. It felt like home ...             With Or Without You (Red Dress Ink)22 reviews Carole Matthews Red Dress Ink, 2005 So Enjoyable!! + Loved it! + Dumped & Ready For Revenge - Hilarious Combo + Great Book             You Drive Me Crazy2 reviews Carole Matthews Headline Book Publishing, 2005 Really enjoyed it Anna Terry and Nick Diamond meet in all places:Their divorce lawyers office.
