Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2464 KP) rated The 8th Confession (Women's Murder Club, #8) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The latest book in the Women's Murder Club series finds the women tracking the killer of the very rich and famous as well as the murderer of a homeless man. Those cases are fine, but the romantic sub-plots and the stories given to Yuki are bad enough to make me want to throw the book across the room.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2464 KP) rated Say Goodbye in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Gary Kellerman gets involved in a mystery when his neighbor dies in a car accident. To complicate matters, he can't hide his attraction to the only witness. Good story, likeable characters. However, I found the romantic sub-plot moved too fast for me to buy and I never got used to the writing style.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2464 KP) rated Shadows on the Sand (Seaside Mysteries) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Just as Carrie and Greg might be ready to start a relationship, danger comes to their resort town. First the dishwasher in Carrie's restaurant is murdered, then her waitress starts acting strangely. What's going on? This is more romantic suspense than a true mystery, but I found the story compelling and the climax very suspenseful.

Comedy

Quotable Lines
The Book that Inspire the movie... The greatest Romantic Action Comedy of all time... "They’re kissing again. Do we have to read the kissing parts?"
The only downside to reading this book, is that there is almost nothing the movie didn't cover... if you are looking for hidden gems the movie left out, you will be disappointed, otherwise this might be one of a few perfect adventure books of all time.
Clare Parrott (294 KP) rated Hunt the Dawn (Fatal Dreams, #2) in Books

Wow
I loved it
Couldn't put it down.
This is the second book in the fatal dreams series and although you can read it as a standalone I would recommend reading the first one, race the darkness.
I enjoyed the way Abbie writes and although this is a romantic paranormal suspense it also has quite a few grisly crime scenes.
I would certainly recommend this book and I'll probably include it in a future monthly book box at www.andrelaxbookboxes.co.uk

spoiler: jar jar is now working as a clown at an orphanage. highlight of the book. just kidding.
great wrap up to the trilogy even though I didn't fully love the final romantic pairing for sinjir, but that's my personal preference. sinjir + jas imo lol
love how it explains what's on Jakku and how it may explain where snoke may be from, and the battle that happened on jakku, which we see the remains of in the force awakens.

Sara Cox (1845 KP) rated Seven Viking Romances in Books
Aug 13, 2018
This is very easy to read, unlike a lot of translated classics. I highly recommend it. It is interesting as to what is classified as a romance, as the first story of the the seven wouldn't be deemed to the modern standards of romantic. However, after getting to know the definition of romance in this context, this is very different to the way we look at romance - in terms of love and gestures, the book becomes increasingly interesting.

Funny
Better than expected
I thought this was going to be an ok/ bad movie, but it was actually really good. The movie follows multiple characters and there dogs, and each story line was entertaining in its own way. The movie had a lot of funny parts, but still managed to get serious during some of the story lines. I would recommend this to anyone who likes romantic comedies, or someone looking for an unexpected jewel.
Katey Bassett (610 KP) rated Daughters of the Lake in Books
Dec 10, 2018
This book was a lot different than I thought it was going to be, there were certain parts that really sucked me in and there were other parts that sort of seemed like they went unfinished. I felt like the romantic aspect was slightly far fetched with the detective and there were a lot of details left out about Celeste. Overall, very quick read and I was glad to have gotten this book from Kindle First.
David McK (3663 KP) rated Jeeves and the Tie That Binds (Jeeves, #14) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
Known in the UK as <i>Much Obliged, Jeeves</i>, this is the penultimate of PG Wodehouse's Jeeves books (the last being <i>Aunt's aren't Gentlemen</i>). This one features his <quote/unquote> 'deserving Aunt Dahlia' as opposed to his Aunt Agatha, and also features a previously-unknown-to-the-reader old school friend of Bertie Wooster in Ginger Winship.
Cue the usual romantic entanglements and sheenanigans!
(oh, and we also find out Jeeves first name (it's Reginald))
