Pagi yang tenang, senyap, sunyi, dan sedikit beraroma dingin adalah waktu yang tepat untuk membaca novel semacam ini. Hihi. Lucu. Tidak menyangka aku akan baca buku ini sambil ketawa-ketawa.
Salahkan Barry White yang membuatku memilih Fanta C dari deretan buku di rak chicklit di Gramedia. X)
Btw, Sandra Brown ini masuk dalam kategori Harlequin bukan ya?

ngabisin waktu baca ini slama mati lampu 8jam ==*
masih paling suka yang Long Time Coming. Yang ini ceritanya tentang seorang wanita bernama Elizabeth yang ditinggal mati suaminya, dan harus hidup bersama kedua putra-putrinya. Ia menganggap bahwa stelah kematian suaminya,John, ia takkan sanggup lagi mencintai orang lain. Sampai ketika ia bertemu dengan tetangganya bernama Thad. Elizabeth yang dipenuhi dengan fantasi2 yang selama ini sering dilamunkannya, dianjurkan oleh adiknya agar mempub More...

I won this book through Goodreads First Reads Giveaway.
I have to admit that although I enjoy a wide variety of books, I have a real weakness for Romance novels. In saying that, quite often I find myself a little disappointed with them, more often that not the leading ladies start to annoy me and although I enjoy the journey and the steamy bits - by the time I get to the end I'm feeling a bit disappointed. Often I feel like I've just read the same book over and over.

OH. MY. GOD! ..... Sandra Brown be still my heart!
This is the first book I've read from you and I think I'll 'stalk' the rest of them!
Even though this book was written 12 years ago... this is probably one of the most romantic/erotic books I've read in awhile.
LOVED the writing, characters, and story line. MY GOD...the fantasies this prudish character could whip-up were amazing!
This the type of book that your significant other benefits from as well *wink-wink*

Semua penggemar SB tahu, bahwa buku SB yang tebal akan lebih menarik daripada buku SB yang tipis. Buku ini tipis sehingga sudah bisa ditebak kira-kira seberapa bagus buku ini.
Sebenarnya cerita di buku ini hanya berhak atas 2 bintang, tapi kutambah 1 bintang karena karakter anak-anak, Megan & Matt yang menggemaskan, dan tentu saja 4 fantasi Lizzie Burke yang hot itu hahaha... benar-benar bikin ketawa membaca 4 fantasi seksual di dalam buku seperti ini.

Mungkin cuma aku saja yang tidak cocok dengan genre ini.. Karna bener2 ga semangat waktu bacanya.. Sama seperti Genre HR yang tidak begitu memikat buat aku. (walaupun ada beberapa buku dari Genre tsb yang jadi buku favorite sampe saat ini, spt Morning Glory nya LaVyrle Spencer dan Comanche seriesnya Catherine Anderson). Tapi entah kenapa aku masih saja membeli buku2 bergenre Harlequin ini.. *sigh..* Kalau buku ini disodorkan kepecinta harlequin dan buku2 sejenisnya, aku rasa mereka bisa menikmat

This was a quick read but a good read. Having been a single mother myself there were isues that I could relate with.
Elizabeth is a young mother trying to raise her two small children and run a business when she meets Thad, her handsome next door neighbor. At first Elizabeth is causious in letting this strange man into their lives but eventually he finds a way into her heart.

Thad the mysterious neighbor,
Elizabeth, feminine woman that lost her husband
How will they romance begin? Between Elizabeth's fantasies and their real life
I rarely read this type of book (purely romance), but why not give it a try :-)
I think this book is entertaining especially for the one who love romance story.

Kesan pertama dari buku ini adalah "HOT" >.<
Kebiasaan buruk Elizabeth adalah berfantasi mengenai sebuah kisah yang erotis. Lilah, adik kandung Elizabeth, menyarankan dirinya untuk menuangkan kisah tersebut menjadi sebuah buku.
Thad, tetangga Elizabeth, yang belakangan sering menjadi subyek fantasi Elizabeth ternyata tidak sengaja membaca buku tersebut dan berusaha mewujudkan fantasinya. Selain itu Thad juga memang sangat tertarik pada ibu dua anak itu..

Aku paling sukaaa sama novel Sandra Brown yang ini :D
Dari pembukaan aja udah bikin panas dingin cenat cenut ga berhenti (jyaaa :)) )
Terus sebelum ada Envy dengan ide "novel dalam novel", tante Sandra sudah memakainya duluan dalam Fanta C. Cuma ini lebih "panas membara" :))
Lagian, Thadnya juga keren. Dan yang paling penting sayang sama anaknya Elizabeth. Dia juga ga masalah sama status Elizabeth yang janda. Laki - laki idaman nih ;)

When I read the back cover, I thought it would be the hottest Sandra Brown’s novel. But then I was disappointed. It’s very old fashion. I didn’t get the flame at all. But I must say that the characters -whose quite realistic- helped the story to become a sweet love story. So it’s not the kind of book which will makes you lose your breath, but it’s the one which makes your cheeck happily blush.

I read the description of the book it is so wrong. Fanta C is about Elizabeth Burke. She runs a little boutique of breakable things at a hotel. She is a widow and mother two kids. Life is okay but it would be better if she had someone to love. She passes time by dreaming up passionate scenarios. Things get out of hand when she decides to write them down and a sister sells them.

Elizabeth Burke fills her life with her elegant boutique by day and with fantasies of romance during the lonely nights following her husband's abrupt death. Then her bachelor neighbor, Thad, presents a promise of fulfillment.
A totally delightful romp. Naughty but nice! Tastefully written.

Not even worth reading. I've read my share of Sandra Brown books, but this book is just isn't one of her best: the plot wasn't that great plus the romance wasn't as steamy as Brown's other relationships.
Don't waste your time.

Sandra Brown is one of my favorite authors. Great story, great characters. Looking forward to reading the related story, Adams Fall...Hopefully I can locate a copy! :)

it's a good book for lonely women. It may help to keep away all the loneliness...

Sorry Mrs. Brown, you R my favorite author.. but I didn't get the flame from this story.
