This Time Next Door
by Gretchen Galway (Goodreads Author)

Excellent characterization raises this above the general level of the rom-com. Rose and Mark become real characters with fascinating back stories and clear motivations. Lots of clever repartee and well-drawn settings. But I think there's a book befor...more

I liked the character of Tubby a lot and I liked all the chapters that featured him -- but I didn't like the ones that were about the bad guys and ended up skipping them.

Dex in Blue (Johnnies, #2)
by Amy Lane (Goodreads Author)

Very sexy writing but I often had trouble keeping track of the characters, because many of them had two names (real life and porn names), and I often found myself confused.

About Face by Donna Leon
I am fascinated by Donna Leon's books and the portrait they paint of contemporary Italian society and Guido Brunetti in particular. I'm seduced by the beautiful images of Venice, contrasted with the dark tones of corruption and scandal. I love the re...more

Kitty Kitty Bang Bang is another clever romp from the Sparkle Abbey ladies. I enjoy coming back to Laguna Beach to the two cousins feuding over their grandmother's brooch and I always know I'll get a good story from them. In this outing, pet therapis...more

“If a tree falls in the forest and kills your ex-wife, what do you do with the lumber?”
Neil Plakcy, Mahu

“They say that a few minutes each day of petting your dog can raise your serotonin levels.”
Neil Plakcy, In Dog We Trust

“On my way to the parking lot, in quick succession, I saw students wearing t-shirts which read, “Save the whales. Collect the whole set,” “Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now,” and “Half the people you know are below average.” Typical for the Eastern student body.”

Zoë Sharp Hi Neil. Thanks so much for Friending me here. Lovely to catch up with you. How's the writing going?


message 9: by Kaje

Kaje Harper Congrats on the release - it posted a little early. I've been waiting for this one.


message 8: by Neil

Neil Plakcy Will do, Lori, once it's available at Amazon (in about a month or so). Right now it's only at the Loose Id website.

Lori K Neil, congrats on the new release! Gonna add it to Goodreads? :)

Teach me Tonight sounds amazing and AWESOME title! With Liam and Aidan that can only mean all kids of delicious things :O) Sooo looking forward to their next adventure.

message 5: by Neil

Neil Plakcy Thanks so much! I love Liam and Aidan too and am always glad to hear that others do! The third book in the series, Teach Me Tonight, sends them on assignment together to a summer study program in Bizerte, on the Mediterranean coast, to protect a student who has been threatened. Aidan rediscovers how much he loves teaching, and Liam's friend Joey shows up... leading to all kinds of complications! It's in the copy edit stage now so should be out in the next month or two.
Best,
Neil


Lauraadriana Hi Neil,
Thanks for the invite...Can I just tell you I read Three Wrong Turns in the Desert and Dancing with the Tide this week and LOVED THEM!! I read with a group of friends, and we just could not get enough of Liam and Aidan. What fantastic men, so sweet, funny, and HOTTTT! The adventure was great as well.
Anyways thanks for great books and looking forward to more of those boys!
Have a great weekend :O)


Tame thank you so much for the friend acceptance Mr. Neil :)
