Good Little Wives 7 reviews Abby Drake
Avon A, 2007
Great book for a rainy weekend.
+ Perfect Beach Book! + Good Little Wives is a great book with twists and turns to keep you guessing
I loved this book. It was fun to read, and the story moved right along. Even with a fairly large number of people to keep up with, the characters meshed nicely-- the plot was straight-forward and uncomplicated. I hope she writes another one soon. As a first book, it's great.

The Blonde Theory 13 reviews Kristin Harmel

Very Enjoyable!

I picked this up because of its title and it sounded like a fun read. Since I have brown hair, I really wanted to know what the author meant by "The Blonde Theory". I loved her last book "How to Sleep with a Movie Star" and had a feeling I would enjoy this one as well.
This was a great read, ...

There's no place like here
+ Very unique
Pretty different, never read one like this before. I really like how the author ties everything together along the way so you don't get bored. I have read everything she has written and I appreciate that she never writes the same theme over and over as many authors do. I always look forward to ...
