Review of Isn't It Romantic?: An Entertainment (Paperback)

This is the only book I've ever read that reads just like a movie script -- and this is a good thing!Ron Hansen has written an exciting, hilarious story that would fit perfectly on a movie screen without having to chop out any scenes.I loved it; it was entertainment at its finest.

Isn't it Romantic? tells the story of a French couple, Natalie Clairevoux, and her fiance, Pierre Smith, as they journey across America on a bus tour.Natalie, fed up with Pierre's loverboy ways, has decided to take the vacation of her dreams -- alone.But Pierre tracks her down in Omaha, wondering what in the heck?Pierre's cosmopolitian, European self doesn't belong amidst Midwest corn fields, so certainly this vacation of Natalie's must be a joke, right?Some sort of punishment for his waywardness?Then the bus breaks down in Seldom, Nebraska -- population 395 -- and the fun really begins.Stranded in the middle of nowhere, Natalie and Pierre are taken in by the friendly, quirky residents of this sleepy, peaceful town.

I laughed so much at the madcap scenes in this book.I can totally visualize the actions in my head in perfect detail.The citizens of Seldom are one of a kind, especially Owen, who has dreams of marketing his Nebraska wine, and Carlo, the cook at the café, who embarks on a matchmaking mission.Ron Hansen did an incredible job bringing these characters to life, and I will be looking for the movie adaptation in the future (hopefully!).

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.
