I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Laura’s Big Breakon October 6th 2012 and has 181 pages.Explore it on Goodreads or Amazon A cute and reluctant romance, and in 2013, Laura’s Big Break won the Gulf Coast RWA Silken Sands Self-Published Star Award for Contemporary Romance. My Take This was great! A sweet read of two people discovering all that they didn’t know about each other. I envy their trip around Holland, even if I don’t lust for the bike/camping trip. I loved this one, LOL: “Under the heading of ‘other abilities’ she could write ‘scarier than armed conflict’.” Her boss does have a point about her being in the more adult leagues; I just can’t agree with her moral decisions. It’s one of those things I dislike about journalists. Yes, I am making a blanket judgment, but, as Claire says, next week the world will focus on something or someone else. In the meantime, the hatchet job a media outlet does on someone sticks to that person forever. It’s not fair to force this on someone, especially when someone […]

Book Review: Karen Rose’s Don’t Tell

Book Review: Karen Rose’s Don’t Tell

I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Don’t Tellin Paperback edition on July 1, 2003 and has 512 pages.Explore it on Goodreads or Amazon First in the Romantic Suspense series (can ya get more uncreative?) split between Asheville, North Carolina and Chicago. My Take Scum like Winters are cowards. There should be a death penalty for men (and women) like him. Rose wrote a dramatic and tension-filled story with real-life characters. Homey characters (on the good side!) you wanted in your own family. She can also write ’em bad. Really bad. It’s an interesting mix of funny and passionate, brave and insecure on the romantic side. With a double helping of self-pity. From both Caroline and Max. They both take offense so easily…much like people do in real life. It’s just that it’s so much easier to see it when you’re reading about it. On the abusive husband side…not so much. Just terrifying that someone like him has never been caught. That his fellow cops have ignored their own intuition simply because he’s a cop. So he must be one […]
