After finishing my second Dee DeTarsio novel, I find myself wondering just what genre this one fits into. I'm a guy, so I don't read chick lit (not that there's anything wrong with that), and I rarely read murder mysteries, romances, or travelogues. But whether it's chick lit, romance, mystery or travelogue, there's one thing I'm more certain than ever about: Dee DeTarsio is freakin' hilarious!

I found myself laughing aloud often as I breezed through this pleasure-fest. I've been to Maui and to...more

Here's my review! First appeared on Chick Lit Central!

I’ve got my First Class ticket to Maui, Hawaii courtesy of author, Dee DeTarsio and I’m traveling via her latest novel, HAOLE WOOD. It’s her fourth book, but first filled with all the Aloha spirit that makes you sit back, relax, pull up a lounge, and enjoy a mai tai and HAOLE WOOD like I did.

I’ve got my First Class ticket to Maui, Hawaii courtesy of author, Dee DeTarsio and I’m traveling via her latest novel, HAOLE WOOD. It’s her fourth book, but first filled with all the Aloha spirit that makes you sit back, relax, pull up a lounge, and enjoy a mai tai and HAOLE WOOD like I did.

Jaswinder is a weather caster San Diego who leaves the mainland to help her grandmother, called Halmoni whom she can’t understand except for one phrase, “not that.” Apparently, Granny is the herb-expert on the Islands. Once she arrives, Jaswinder goes out drinking one night, hooks up with Dr. Jac, a hunk of course and a dermatologist, which works out perfectly because the fair-skinned Jaswinder just happens to bake herself the next day.

In addition to herbs, Granny has bolts of beautiful fabrics in her closets and Jaswinder proceeds to make what she calls “sunshminas” – they’re similar to pashimas! She soaks them in her Kukui nut oil which is found in the Kukui nut trees all over the islands and they protects the skin from the harmful rays of the sun! Woo Hoo! They are a success! But during this good time, businessman, Mike Hokama is found murdered! He has been poisoned by a lethal amount of Kukui nut oil. Granny is number one person of interest!

At this point, a bunch of characters come into the circus making for a comedy of errors. There are a bunch of women working on the sunshminas because the business has grown so successful. There’s an enormous nude guardian angel only seen and heard by Jaswinder, her parents who lucky for everyone involved stay on the Mainland, lawyers, a nightclub singer, it’s Dee DeTarsio at her “fun Kitchen Shrink best.” All the while, Jaswinder is blossoming into a beautiful,
confident, successful woman when at the beginning of the novel many readers had barely any hope for her.

This is romantic comedy. Boy and girl kiss. The bad person goes to jail. The Hawaiian title ends up making sense. We’re in Maui, Hawaii. Everyone gets their happily-ever-after and a nice suntan, too! No, I haven’t given it all away. You’ll have to read HAOLE WOOD to enjoy the rest. Maholo!

HAOLE WOOD is available on Kindle.

I really enjoyed this book, what a captivating read! It starts off with the main character Jaswinder having to go to Hawaii to rescue her Grandmother (Halmoni) who has been arrested for possession of marijuana, and then the fun really starts. She meets a couple of hot men her first night in Hawaii and while she spends the evening with one, the other turns up murdered the next morning and her Halmoni accused of the crime. Right off the bat you know you are in for a good ride.

The main character's on Hawaii, then suddenly she starts going on about her job, and then some ghost(?) and disaster and her sister and I have no idea what she's talking about.

I admit to having downloaded this, in part, to see just how badly the author mangles local culture. As someone living in Hawaii, I actually found the book somewhat offensive. Although admittedly I haven't been here that long myself, my grandparents have lived in Hawaii for years, so I spent months out of every year here while growing up. And this book definitely lacks anything to make it seem authentically set in Hawaii.

As for the facts- far more Hawaiians speak only English than speak Hawaiian. Hawaiian actually almost completely died out in the 1970s, and the only reason it still exists as a language is the hard work of a few dedicated individuals in reviving it. Very few people actually speak Hawaiian at all. Anyone born in Hawaii since the 1920s probably speaks Pidgin, a mixture of English with other languages, but certainly understandable to someone from the mainland. And the taxi driver would probably speak Pidgin- not the broken English that was written.

I really don't see why the main character can't understand her grandmother. If her grandmother is Hawaiian/Korean, that means she was born in Hawaii, and should speak the local language- Pidgin. She's not even an immigrant, and immigrants certainly learn the language after living in a place for years. My grandparents are immigrants from China, but they've lived in America for most of their lives, and their English is better than that of some Americans.

And, uh, what exactly is cool about measuring the amount of water to cook rice with? That just kind of baffled me.

Okay, I'm just going to stop now before I do something (my computer screen) irreparable harm. If you're going to write a book set in Hawaii, then please make sure you actually have SOME grasp of local culture, not some touristy version of it. There is a BIG difference from how people in Hawaii actual live and the stereotypes that tourists have. You know all that stuff you see in gift shops? Not real. Or rather, some of it may have been real in the past, but certainly not anymore.(less)

An interesting story told from a beautiful location. The story goes into great detail about life on Maui and in spite of the circumstances that brought granddaughter and grandmother back together after years of separation, brings a sense of warmth to the story. The language barrier between the two does not stop the relationship from forming and growing as it seems the grandmother is able to pick up on what her granddaughter needs while the granddaughter has no idea what her grandmother is saying...more

Jaswinder Park is living her dream as a TV weather girl in San Diego. When she has to go to Maui to bail her old Hawaiian healer grandmother (whom she barely knows and can't understand) out of jail for selling pot, she not only loses her job but her whole life. Or so she thinks.

Haole Wood is a funny, lighthearted tale that takes us on Jaswinder's journey of self-discovery. Stuck (stuck?) in Maui , feeling sorry for herself and ruminating on the disaster that is her life, she becomes involved in the murder of a prominent island resident. Her grandmother is arrested for his murder, and Jaswinder begins to learn some important life lessons as she works to prove her innocence. With the aid, I might add, of a giant, naked Hawaiian guardian angel who has a penchant for showing up at the most inopportune times.

This book is a delightful blend of romance, mystery, adventure. Dee DeTarsio has a talent for dialogue and expressing her characters' voices and personalities in a very real way. So talented, in fact, that I came to adore Halmoni even though she could only speak two words of English -- "Not that." And Jaswinder, oh, Jaswinder. There were a couple of times when I wished I could turn that girl over my knee. Maybe that's because I saw bits and pieces of my younger self in her stubborn, flighty nature. But that's also a part of her considerable charm.

And the setting -- how can you go wrong with Maui? Well, you can. I've seen it done. But the author does an outstanding job of whisking us away to the island paradise that is Maui, giving us a peek at real life on the island away from the resorts and tourist traps. You also get a little primer on Hawaiian language and culture here and there. The only drawback? You're going to look up from your book and be really mad that your feet aren't buried in the sand on a beach in Maui.

I throughly enjoyed watching Jaswinder get to know and love her grandmother, herself, and her Hawaiian heritage. Her lighthearted romance with Dr. Jac was engaging and sweet, and I was delighted when her company "Haole Wood" (which makes "sunshminas", her Hawaiian version of pashminas) took off. Most of all, though, I was thrilled when Jaswinder began to feed the turtle of love and integrity and left the turtle of fear and greed to starve.

If you're looking to escape into an enchanting land of warm ocean breezes filled with love, mystery and adventure, Haole Wood is the book for you. It is a fun, relaxing read filled with delightful characters with a few life lessons thrown in.

When Jaswinder Park has to bail her grandmother out of jail for the possession of pacalolo, her problems on the Hawaiian island Maui have just started. After losing her job as a san Diego weather caster, getting a really bad sun burn, being photographed with a murder victim and being beaten up by said murder victim's mother, Jaswinder's stay on Maui is turning out not to be much fun at all. Bring into this equation the handsome dr. Jack and a rather unusual, wisdom spouting guardian angel and you have a story that demands to be read in one go.

As one failed attempt to solve the murder and to start her own business followed another, I started to wonder whether Jaswinder could do anything at all without botching it. This would be serious was it not for the humorous way in which the story is told. The main character has a unique capacity for getting herself into wildly embarrassing situations and saying just the wrong thing at the wrong time. The reader gets a look into Jaswinder's thoughts and inner dialogue which are, even at the most serious moments, absolutely hilarious. The author frequently refers to popular culture which gives the whole story just that much more life and credibility.

Colorful descriptions of the people of the island and the natural scenery adds to the magic of the book. Meet Zev, Bronco and Kenny, the hot surfers, who try to teach Jaswinder how to surf, Lana Ho the stunningly beautiful island entertainer and of course Jaswinder's Halmoni who only knows two English words.

If you are looking for a hilariously funny and extremely lively story, Haole Wood is the book for you. Amidst all this humor and excitement, there are some pearls of wisdom tastefully worked into the dialogue and thoughts of the characters.

Not only does Dee DeTarsio write an excellent and spellbinding story but she is an absolute genius with wordplay. There are even some sweet romantic scenes for those who like a bit of romance in a book. Haole Wood is a must read deserving of far more than 5 stars. (Ellen Fritz)(less)

Ms. DeTarsio has created a very interesting protagonist in Jaswinder Park and a great plot to read. Add in the beautiful setting of Maui and it's interesting people and you have the makings for a very fine summer (or any time of year) novel.

Jaswinder Park had me as a character from the very first page. Nothing seems to go her way, but she keeps trying. I know how that feels and I could relate. Now I am happily married, but I could still feel her pain. As she jets off to Maui to save her grandmother, the proverbial black cloud seems to be over her then she meets not one but two handsome men, but one is murdered. And then there is that guardian angel that no one else can see but her that doesn't seem to do anything but make fun of her and pop in at inopportune times. Add in a grandmother she adores but can't understand (literally) and you have Jaswinder Park and the story of Haole Wood. The characters are great from Jaswinder to her grandmother, her romantic interest, Jac, and of course the wonderful guardian angel, who when I think of him still makes me laugh. Also add in a great supporting cast as well. I loved them all as I got to know them. They each contributed to the story and each felt like a friend (or enemy) by the time the novel was done.

The suspense plot was great. Moved along by the murder of an islander who was not very well-liked, Jaswinder has to clear her grandmother's name. But it seems likes she's blocked when she tries anything. There is also a great subplot when Jaswinder really finds her niche with the sunshminas. Since I love to sew and watch all the fashion shows on tv, I loved this part of the book as much as the suspense plot (and I love a good suspense plot).

To me, Ms. DeTarsio wove all the stories together so well that the book flowed from beginning to end. I loved it. The suspense was a part of the book, the career path was a part, there was a place for the romance and the character development was stellar. Haole Wood is a fantastic book that has me wanting more from this author. Not only did she give me an outstanding story and remarkable characters, but she also gave me an intriguing culture and setting. This made Haole Wood a notch above for me. I just have a thing for Hawaiian books and Haole Wood filled that niche for me.(less)

Enjoyable read with laugh out loud moments as Jaswinder attempts to help

The adventures begin when Jaswinder arrives to bail her grandmother out of
jail for possession of marijuana. The story continues like a sitcom with various
outrageously unbelievable plots. This was a nice break from the heavy murder
