I do love the merry gentry series but I miss the earlier innocence & slight neglect of her main men. I'm reading through them for the third time & still enjoy them but again - I'm going to say similar to others - it seemed over described. I found it an arduous task ploughing through it this time. I love the story though.

Wow, this story was very good. I enjoyed the conflicts and the drama with the characters. The writer drew me into the story and kept me wanting more until it was over and then I found myself wishing there was more after. I loved the characters and the plot was very very interesting. Very good story.

As someone who reads a lot of erotica, this was not the worse nor the best. First of all, it was very short with little development beyond learning about the characters. Some of the dialogue with just awkward to read and I found myself skipping over certain scenes. Do not be fooled. There is nothing kinky about this book.

I loved how Charlie finally came into her own and stood up to her mother. (0 more)
Phenomenal read!
I loved everything about this book. From the cranky Eve to Charlie finally standing up to her mom. I found the storyline extremely interesting. It was so well written I felt as if I were in the car with the characters.

When the board member of a tea museum is murdered, the directors must come together to figure out what happened to keep the museum afloat. I enjoyed the characters but found the pacing a little off.

Slow burner
I read a lot of great reviews about this, but I found it as a very slow burner and I didn't always quite understand what was going on. I felt like I was missing something, the film was certainly missing something. I guess you could say there was an air of unease but that's it.

Good information
I've started listening to The Business for one of my college classes. I really enjoy listening to most of their podcasts, however, I've found that they have a tendency to be heavily biased at times which can throw you for a loop. However, I will continue listening to them.
