Your Turn Friday with the WW LadiesJune 26, 2009Since I've been reading a lot of unedited manuscripts, I haven't had much time for just fun reading, but I thought I'd let the WW Ladies have an extra go this week since they've been busy picking up my slack. Then it's your turn to let everyone know what you've been reading lately.  Prime Time by Hank Phillippi Ryan Read by Jan TV reporter Charlotte Mc Nally (AKA Charlie), whose job is on the line in an effort to boost ratings, following up on leads after two unsolicited email informers end up mysteriously dead and, in the process, uncovering a wide-spread pharmaceutical industry fraud. As an award-winning investigative reporter herself, Hank Phillippi Ryan brings personal experience to her lead character. Another 'new' author to me and I know I have discovered a 'keeper'. In addition to PRIME TIME on sale this week, Ms. Ryan has FACE TIME coming out in July and AIR TIME in August. She writes a fast-paced novel that will keep you guessing the outcome to the last page. I can't wait! Engrossing, thrilling and heart-thumping. Read by Heidi
PI Renata Cordona has put herself in harms way to bring out a murderer. Jacob Marshall is drawn to protect her. Both have secrets and realize they are life mates. A killer watches and waits to destroy them so that the world becomes the ultimate prize.
A new paranormal experience for me with werewolves. I loved how the past swirled into the present with this book, and how the characters were connected in past lives. Very cool. The suspense is what brought it all together. A fantastic read for summer!
 Tall, Dark and Deadly by Lorie O’Clare  Read by Marie Grace Jordan traded her big-city badge for life in the slow lane in Rockville, South Dakota. Grace wanted some place quiet and safe to raise her daughter, but when young women keep turning up brutally murdered she has a serial murder case and a drop dead gorgeous FBI agent on her hands. Justin Reece is a Special Agent with the FBI and a Rockville native. He never intend to return to Rockville for longer than a week at a time, but when young women started turning up brutally murdered he gladly accepted the assignment to hunt the serial murderer that was wreaking havoc on his town. This was my first Romantic Suspense by Ms. O’Clare and it was an exciting ride that I didn’t want to end. It was hard for me to put this book down at the end of the day, the characters are strong and compelling, and the bad guys are extremely bad. I was thrilled to see that there is going to be another installment coming out at the end of September, Long, Lean and Lethal, and it looks to be just as exhilarating! His Son's Teacher by Kay Stockham Read by Jan It's the end of the school year and Jennifer Rose, along with her fellow teachers, announce their plans for exciting eventful summers... ONLY Jennifer's have been sidetracked following a divorce from her cheating physician husband and subsequent depression and weight gain of 35#. Enter, Nick Tulane, successful gym owner and businessman whose 8 year old son Matt needs a summer tutor to help him keep up with math and reading. Nick has a secret past, but finally opens up to Jennifer who is not only able to help him and Matt, but he, in turn, helps her with weight loss/workouts and a boost in her suffering self-confidence. I love learning something new in my readings and this book was no exception. Anyone familiar with Irlen's Syndrome, a form of dyslexia? Yes, I had to GOOGLE it, too. It's been 30, 40, maybe 50 years since I last read a Harlequin romance--and I thoroughly enjoyed it. You've come a long way, Harlequin! This won't be my last. Now that the WW Ladies have done their job, it's up to you to comment on your latest reads. Bottom Line: Next week is the 4th of July already and I'm in charge of the Taffy Apple Salad. Maybe I should make a practice batch. Posted by Barbara Vey on June 26, 2009 | Comments (16)

In response to: Your Turn Friday with the WW Ladies Kay Stockham commented: Just wanted to pop in and say thanks to Jan for reviewing HER BEST FRIEND'S BROTHER. I'm so glad she enjoyed it! I hope she'll check out the rest of the Tulanes of Tennessee series.

In response to: Your Turn Friday with the WW Ladies Keri Stevens commented: I loved Stockham's Teacher. In my day job, I'm a personal trainer. Her story of the progression of a woman's struggle with weight loss was spot-on. So many women don't feel they deserve love (and that lack of self-confidence manifests in overeating). I'm happy to see a story where the heroine gets her beefcake and gets to eat (healthily) too!
