review 1: This was a light, fun read. Some of the situations were over-the-top and I found the fact that Casey was supposedly a street kid (with a record) growing up who is no stranger to fighting kind of contrary to her supposedly "shy," virginal nature. Also, we have a two-year-old in this book that eats jawbreakers, chews gum, is taught to crack open and eat shelled peanuts and rides in a car without a carseat, apparently. I had to wonder if Rita Herron has ever had children, and if so, just how long ago that was. LOL. But whatever. I went with it. Also, Gabe kept getting calls on his cell that required him to "answer" it but yet entailed him calling the caller back. I was wondering if this story was originally written with Gabe carrying a beeper and later rewritten to update the... more content. I don't know. Weird little details like that kept pulling me out of the story. Small inconsistencies, but jarring for me. Like where limbs were placed and how certain physical actions were carried through in certain situations. Thinking of that scene where Casey and Gabe are under Brick's BMW. What in the world? And in another instance, Gabe is wearing nothing but borrowed sweatpants in one scene but pulls out his ringing phone (which he has to answer, yet call the person back, as above) AND a pad and pen?! If he had to walk over to his discarded, wet pants, please tell me. LOL.Overall, it may be a typical romance plot, but it was funny, suspenseful, and a cute love story. Good for a free download on my kindle, for sure.
review 2: Single and Searching by Rita Herron is a great contemporary romance novel with great characters.Casey is an author who writes children books. She is a young single mother who’s has been convinced by one of her best friends to start dating again. Not really sure how to handle this, she places an ad in order to find the perfect date. Never in a million years would she have thought that it would turn out to be something totally different.Gabe is a handsome reporter who has been giving the job to go undercover on dates with women from ads and write his experience in an article. Gabe really hates this assignment because he wants to solve the case of the ABC thief.Gabe appears to be Casey’s date but he stands her up on their initial date after meeting her on the worst time in her life. When she reads his article in the paper she is determined to teach him a lesson he won’t forget. When Gabe finds out the truth who Casey really is he is more determined to fix his mistake and make her his and in the meantime trying to save her when all the signs says she has something to do with the ABC thief.Rita Herron has written an good easy reading novel with great characters. I love Casey’s determination to succeed in life, her cute little boy, her funny dog and the way those to two get into trouble all the time. It was so funny sometimes that it often brought a smile to my face.I never read a book by Rita Herron before, but if her other books are similar to this one then I’m definitely going to check them out. They are easy to read, funny and have a good storyline, so what more do you need. less
