Lani Diane Rich (Goodreads Author)
Dana Wiley's True Confessions (Or How Did I Get into This Mess?) * My mother's being held by kidnappers, and only Nick Maybe, the man I left at the altar six years ago, knows how to find the ransom-a big, smelly, flightless parrot. * Manhattan isn't exactly ideal for wildlife-unless you're talking about me and Nick.

An amusing novel, pretty short, sometimes funny, sometimes silly. On one hand, a typical romance, but on the other, I don’t quite get the obstacles in the way to the heroes’ married bliss. Why is Dana so afraid of marriage? Her aversion seems artificial to me, and as the entire story is based on it, I can’t help thinking: stupid!
There is a rare bird in the story too, and everyone is trying to steal it from each other. The bird sequences are hilarious, even when the human motivations are often i...more

While I'm not generally a romance reader, this was a fun read. I liked just about every character in this book, except of course the ones the reader wasn't supposed to like (and even those, such as the idiotic kidnappers Vivian and Gary, I enjoyed). The plotting was fast-paced and extra twisty, but not hard to follow.
While the book at times felt slightly larger-than-life, the emotions in it rang true, even the more mundane ones, such as Dana's sheer frustration at the absurdity of the situation...more

This is a wacky, fun little contemporary romance with a heroine who has serious commitment and trust issues and the hero she left at the altar several years ago. Now, she's in danger of losing the family winery and goes to her grandmother to borrow money, but grandma doesn't have any to borrow. Grandma also is still in touch with the hero, and has a habit of doing favors for people, just little things to help them out. Things she gets the hero to help her with. This time, it involves a rare, sti...more
I have found a new favorite author. I wish I would've read this before The Comeback Kiss but I didn't. Didn't matter a lot but it would've been nice.
Anyhow, I've been reading a lot of "heavy" stuff lately. Then I stumbled across this author and decided I needed a change of pace. I loved this book and the rest of her books so far. I plan to read every one of them.
I'm a total sucker for second chance romance. And quirky leads and this had both.

Good. I'm really liking Lani Diane Rich. This was not as good as Ex - it got bogged down a little in its own plot in the middle of the book. (Also, I'm a sucker for the "Southern girl goes home, makes good" trope, so some of the better-ness is not Maybe's fault.) But, fun characters, silly caper, good relationship and believable reactions from people. LDR is good at drawing people who act like real people.
I picked this one up at a used book store. I don't usually do that without looking it up but I took a chance and bought it. And after I read it I am glad that I did. It was a very good book and I would suggest it to anyone. It has been a while since I read it but I don't think there was any boring parts in it and that's hard to find in a book.
Maybe if I hadn't read this book before I would have liked it more and gotten through it much quicker, but I just got bored towards the end.
I know for a fact though that I really liked Finn & the whole thief growing a conscience thing. After all, it's part of what drew me to White Collar

I'm somewhere between "it was ok" and "I liked it". Not normally my type of book, but it was a free book on Amazon and I was looking for an easy read on vacation. I liked the witty banter in the book and had a few laugh out loud moments.
This was a Kindle freebie on Amazon and a perfect summer weekend read. Silly and farfetched, a little predictable, but fun! I would certainly read another book by the same author sometime in the future if it crossed my path.
Fabulously funny and inventive. A well-crafted cast of characters (topped by Nick Maybe and Dana Wiley and rounded out by an endangered kakapo) plus snappy dialogue made this a truly enjoyable read.
Terrible book - finished it in 2 hours (yes it's that short). This book is a feeble attempt at romance & suspense. Humor almost non-existant, I have definately read books funnier than this.
Not sure how I missed her in my years of chick lit devouring. The relationships and characters were authentic. Some of the comedy/plot twists are a bit slapstick but it works.
great book, wonderful characters, she makes you care about all of them, funny as all get out but also has touching moments.
Fun, easy read about a group of mismatched characters trying to steal/save a big smelly exotic bird.
Every book that I've read from this author I've really enjoyed. Ill be keeping an eye out for more of hers.
This was a cute book. Romance, quirky characters and plot twists galore!
This was a fun book, good characters, and a great adventure.
Got this as a free read on amazon and it took me a while to finish (got distracted by new releases from some series I've been following), but I'm glad I did. It's sweet, funny and has the screwball comedy vibe that I really enjoy. I'll look for more from this writer.
This was a fun and crazy book. Really enjoyed reading it!!!
Good, lighthearted book - great for that transitional read between the heavier stuff.
quick fun easy read cute dialog.

marked it as stopped-gave-up
Just wasn't sucked in, even though I like comedy. Wasn't making me laugh. But I loved another book by Rich, so I'm not out forever.
Nice story.
Cute and funny.
New to me author, recommended by a Facebook Friend. Glad she did. I enjoyed this lighthearted romantic comedy.
This is a very nice easy read - something light and cute to fill in the time. I think Nick and Dana have good chemistry, and I always love the idea of getting back to the one "who got away". Secondary characters, including Dana's gutsy mother Babs, and the wise-crack bird thief Finn brings more merriment to the story. Goodreads won't let me do 3.5 rating because that's what I'll give to this :)
cute, romantic comedy. A nice light read
This was a fun book. Easy to read. Who knew such problems could arise from a bird!
