Review of Going Coastal (Mass Market Paperback)

I loved this author's previous book Smothering.I was eagerly looking forward to this one.

Going Coastal is about our main character -working in a diner and hating it - or so she thinks.

Basically, this book is about finding yourself and what you truly love.There are many wacky characters as you would imagine in the diner and our main heroine has some hilarious interactions with most of them. The writing style is fun and breezy and although there is a "morale" to this story, the overeall tone is about being who you should be.

While this book wasn't as "sweet and innocent" as Smothering, I still enjoyed it thoroughly.Great chick lit reading.

Review of Every Demon Has His Day (Paperback)

Constance Plyd can't believe her husband, Jimmy, is dead.All she'd wanted him to do was sign the divorce papers but no, he put Tide in her dishwasher and then manages to get killed by a demon!Sheriff Nathan Garrett doesn't want to believe that Constance is responsible but she's the only witness to the murder.Is he letting his guilt over the past interfere with the investigation?Or is Constance's story true that a demon killed Jimmy and now the Devil intends to impregnate a ditzy virgin to bring about the birth of the Antichrist?Constance and Nathan will have their hands full as the situation is only going to get wackier....

Hilarious!Cara Lockwood had me laughing throughout EVERY DEMON HAS HIS DAY.From Jimmy's history of mishaps to the whole concept of a talking dog, the story is chock full of humor.Cara Lockwood keeps the tone upbeat, even as the world is crashing around Constance.

Constance is a great heroine.Her disbelief at the unbelievable events makes her all the more credible.I particularly love the distinguishing moniker of "Dead Jimmy" she uses for her now-deceased husband as it adds yet another bit of quirkiness to the tale.The romance between Constance and Nathan is sweet and builds over the course of the tale as both must learn to trust the other.EVERY DEMON HAS HIS DAY is a bit outrageous at times, but that is part of the fun.Easily recommended!

Review of Fantasyland (Paperback)

I have had this on my bookshelf for quite some time, and I should have read it earlier!

I have read many paranormal romances and I thoroughly enjoyed the wit of this character, Jessica Matthews.She is tough, hilarious, sexy, and has some delicious come-backs for anyone who annoys her.

Take the time to read this one... Michelle Bardsley will be one of your new best authors.

Product Description
The national bestselling author of Cupid, Inc. takes readers on a hedonistic holiday with four erotic fantasies.

Just off the Florida Keys, Fantasyland-a chain of exotically themed islands-offers the perfect setting for guests to act out their wildest dreams. If a woman is looking for her own pirate of the Caribbean, there's an island where bawdy buccaneers roam the shores in search of booty. And then there's the island where vacationers can be treated like royalty-or servants-depending on whether they want someone groveling at their feet or taking control of their pleasure.

About the Author
Michele Bardsley lives in Florida with her husband, their two children, and Their Highnesses Isis and Cleopatra, two of the most spoiled Bengal cats on the planet. Author website: michelebardsley.com.
