Wednesday Blurbs
January 30, 2008
So, how crazy is this weather? We went from 47 degrees to 3 degrees in a matter of hours. From rain to snow (right after everything had just melted. And don't even get me started on the wind chill). The good news? Perfect weather to stay at home and cuddle up with a good book. Here's the WW ladies and friends blurbs of the week.
The Saucy Lucy Murders by Cindy Keen Reynders
Read by Loretta
Lexie together with her young daughter, returns to her hometown after an unhappy divorce. Lucy, her older sister, wants to find her another mate. Unfortunately, everyone Lexie dates ends up DEAD, as in murdered! Since the local gendarmes move all too slowly to suit Lexie, she convinces Lucy that they can be just the help that the police need to find the killer.
What ensues is a hilarious and scary scenario. You will enjoy the ride!
SheWolf by Teresa D’Amario (E-Book)
Read by Joyce 
Veterinarian Anna Calloway is assaulted one night by two men, and is horrified to see one of them shapeshift. Rescued by a powerful and compelling stranger, she learns the significance of her own uncanny skills and sensitivities when he explains about Wolven. The stranger insists she is one and that she also is his.
As Anna is introduced to a new life, she begins to understand her past and appreciate the possibilities of the future. Teresa D’Amario creates an intriguing tale for werewolf fans.
The idea of the E-Book format is something that has appealed to me for a couple of years now, and I have purchased a title or two when I’ve seen something that’s intrigued me. But as yet I have not discovered the technology I would need to make reading e-books easy and economical. In this case I printed the file because sitting at my computer desk to read is neither comfortable nor convenient. What I need is a hand-sized gadget that simplifies my life by being my cell phone, my PDA, and a visually pleasing e-reader/audio book player combined that I can actually afford. When I find that gizmo, I could become quite a strong proponent of e-books.
To Catch a Cheat by Kelley St. John
Read by Lisa
The book was easy and fun to read. The characters were enjoyable and I fell in love with them immediately. Marissa or Rissi is what they called her has issues with cheating men. She decides to vent her frustration on a website designed by her and her friends, called theguycheats.com. Rissi thought to start with the very first guy who cheated on her from back in middle school, Trent Jackson. Trent and Rissi get offered a bet by a local radio station to live together for one week. If they still hate each other at the end, they win an awesome prize.
Funny and sexy. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I have.
All Through the Night - A Troubleshooter Christmas by Suzanne Brockmann
Read by Joyce
What significant high profile event of the holiday season in Boston would require the services and attendance of the whole staff of the security experts of Troubleshooters Inc, all of Navy Seal’s Team Sixteen, the FBI’s most elite counterterrorism unit, and possibly the Secret Service accompanying the President of the United States?
Jules Cassidy is getting married.
With the point of view jumping from one favorite character from past adventures to another, the story unfolds in heartwarming vignettes spiced with intrigue, suspense, humor, passion, and romance. I loved Suzanne’s novella, and I applaud its important message.
