review 1: Closer to 2.5 stars, I think. Not as funny as the first book, the mystery is pretty easy to solve, and not much happened in the Hartley-Chase front. The last thing's fine, though. It's nice that Hartley's not too obsessed with Chase. I'm not going to add any more spoilers in here...

review 1: This is a very short Christmas themed romance centered around Maddie and her first Christmas with her boyfriend. All they want is a little time alone, but it looks like that's a Christmas wish that will not come true. This is a super fast read, zany, cute and fun but just too sho...

review 1: I was hoping the Jamie Bond books would be spy stories, a la James Bond. They're actually more mystery stories, but they move fast enough and are titillating enough that they held my interest. The girls are smart and not just pretty, and they can play rough when they have to. I'm...

review 1: I've really enjoyed this series, but I apparently read them out of order. It did not affect my appreciation of them one bit. Cameron is sassy and smart like all of Halliday's heroines. Trace barely resembles what you would believe a movie star to behave like. All in all they are ...

review 1: As always, Maddie has a propensity for finding dead bodies, and then wanting to hunt down the culprit herself. But, in this book, more so than any other, I was thinking - what are you doing, Maddie? You are expecting, you shouldn't be trying to track down a murderer! One thing...
