Felipe Ponce felipe6cc4 — Four (and a half) stars-- would recommend reading her short in GUY NEXT DOOR, "Just One Taste," first, since it supplies some eeeenteresting background to a few of the scenes in the novel. And before you get too excited-- I read the ARC of this. The finished product is due out Sept. 2011. So... I loved this book enough to devour it in one sitting. It made me giggle, it made me cry (tears of anguish AND happy tears), and it has one of the most beautiful lines I've ever read in a sex scene ("He explored her in one unbroken touch that seemed like creation, as if she'd been formless before she stepped into him.") The sex is hot hot HOT (and yet-- safe! I *love* that the author takes time to point that out!), and most of the characters are incredibly three-dimensional and real. It wasn't *quite* a five-star for me, because of some minor points. For me, Luke's partner, Simone, was an exception to otherwise really well-developed characters. I was intrigued by the glimpses we got, but I would've liked to see a little more fleshing-out for her. She kind of fades quietly into the background most of the time. Upon reflection, this could've been a side effect of how she was handling her own personal problems-- they sort of effaced her from the story-- but I still think it was a shame we couldn't get to know her better.) Also, the pacing seemed to lose momentum a bit in the middle (although it picks back up again pretty quickly). Overall, though... j'adore! What I love most about Dahl's contemporary romances is how determined and "game" her characters are despite the craziest of circumstances, and this title is no exception. Tessa and Luke are stressed, they're busy, they're kinda screwed up, but dammit, they will work their butts off for their shot at happiness. (And believe me, these two *really* have their work cut out for them-- I worried more than once how the author was going to pull a HEA out of this story.) Tessa's work AND family life are a tense hell because of problems with the family business. Luke's living under a cloud of nasty rumors and doesn't have the greatest reputation when it comes to relationships. Both of them have capital-P Pasts-- they have issues that, if not outright secrets, are at least things they're not comfortable sharing with others. They're both stubborn and emotionally guarded. As if that weren't enough, both of them have friends and loved ones going through really rough patches, too-- people they desperately want to help and protect. The LAST thing either of them needs is another complication... and what could be more complicated than a new relationship? Still, they're willing to TRY, and that's part of what I so admire in them. How many relationships fall apart these days because one side or the other is just tired of putting the time in? How many don't happen because someone's unwilling to take that risk? Luke and Tessa are given a lot of reasons not to date-- heck, Tessa's big brothers are two big, looming, overprotective reasons of their own-- but they both recognize the chemistry brewing between them. (Ouch. Sorry, bad pun.) This is not to say that the path of love runs smooth once they decide to date. (I did mention the whole "stubborn and emotionally guarded" bit, right?) They both make a few foolish choices (usually for the right reasons), but they're not ridiculously stupid about it. (One of my biggest pet peeves in romance is when a character's refusal to address (or even recognize) a personal flaw turns into willful, rampant stupidity merely to force a plot point to happen.) Dahl's characters are human, but they're also smart... they characters may stomp and pout and yell, but eventually they can recognize when their fears are holding them back, and they're wise enough to grow. I raise my glass to Ms. Dahl for this one-- and I can't wait for the next two rounds! (I'm *definitely* buying.)

Lisa Jansen jansencreative — interesting read for anyone who likes food!

Ivo Von ivovonrenner — SUCKED!

Gee Dlamini gawjuss — Pretty cute. I really enjoy when books end leaving us thinking about the same character doing something different - in this case, becoming a cat. Very cute!

Will Townsend wtsnz — The author gave a lecture when I was in college; it made me like this book more.

Boudaouara Yosr boudyosr101d — A triumph. Junot fully captured the north jersey Caribbean immigrant experience. There is so much I could relate to in the book that I guess there was no way I would not have liked it. The sci and geek allusions were awesome and the book is one of the most laugh out loud funny books I have ever read. It felt like an old friend.
