Light and fun debut romance, but had a mixed reaction (3.5 stars)
I've been looking forward to this book, as it's been a somewhat uneven year (for me) for romance new releasees and it's always exciting to have a new writer on the scene. Unfortunately, I have to say my feelings are somewhat mixed on this one.

I don't think there are any real spoilers. This book and its sequel were Christmas gifts. I actually received a total of I think at least 6 books for Christmas this year, one can never have to many books. Anyway, Kieran Kramer is a new author and this is her first book. I keep wanting to call it "When Harry Met Sally".

Oh, I am so done with this book.
I could, I suppose, force myself to read it then write a long snarky rant about how much I hate books like this, but that's hardly fair. It's like shooting fish in a barrel and kinda mean-spirited. Or like pulling on a hangnail then complaining about it hurting.
I think Kieran Kramer is probably a good writer. (I won't even get started on the titles; that's a rant for another day.) The little bit I did read seemed to be well-written. More...

Kieran Kramer is now officially my favorite new historical romance author. I had so much fun reading When Harry Met Molly, even though half the things that occur in the book are not at all believable. With that being said, I didn’t care. Kieran has a great historical romance voice with enough laughs and quirky cuteness that one other historical author comes to mind, which is Julia Quinn. Keiran could possibly be the new Julia Quinn, and if her next two books are anything like this one, she’ll ha

OK, so I admit that my previous aversion to historical romance really had more to do with not finding the right authors than not liking the books. Case and point: Kieran Kramer’s first book in the Impossible Bachelors series was seriously one of the best books I’ve read all year. This book was funny, light, but had an interesting enough plot and lovable characters that I literally had trouble putting it down and was genuinely sad when the book was finished. Luckily for me, though, there are

Fun, outrageous, and well-written.
Harry and Molly actually met as children. They grew up as neighbors, at least until one horrible moment when 13-year-old Molly reads a love poem, offering her undying love to Harry's older brother while telling everyone about Harry's kiss with his brother's fiance (Molly's sister). As a result, Molly is shipped off to the country and Harry is sent off to war.

I'm still working on my review, but here are my thoughts I wrote down not long after I started this book...
Sometimes you hear so much awesomeness about a book that it really never has a chance to live up to the expectations that have been built up about it. Then, there are those books that deserve every single bit of purple prose that they've received.
I've found one of those books and I can't even wait to finish it before coming on here to tell you I LOVE IT!

Hard to write this review. It's a cute little book, really it is, and I guess if that's all you want, completely mindless reading with a plot and characterizations that are all over the place, then it would be more like 3 stars. Probably. It's just that it's so terribly fluffy, marshmallow fluff that's been run through a frother, and it was all so unsatisfying.
One star for a pretty good idea (if you leave out the Prinny part) and writing that was technically fine. But, oy, what a me More...

My four-sentence or less take on the plot: When Molly is 12-years-old, she performs an embarrassing poem that ends up getting her sent away to a strict boarding school, as well as getting family friend Harry sent in to the military. They consider themselves enemies. When Harry is pulled into a stupid little game of the Prince, he commandeers Molly (who he found running off to Gretna Green with a milksop employee of her father) to pretend to be his mistress for a week. As this is a historical

For the most part, I liked this book. That said, I have mixed feelings about parts of it where I thought it was uneven...which is where I ended up picking myself up and just heaving myself over those doubts.
I have to say, though, that one thing I found VERY distracting: bad editing! 1/3 of the time, Molly's eyes are blue; 2/3 of the time, they are a warm brown. Call me crazy, but this is DISTRACTING to the extreme. I'm not even a very picky everything-has-to-be-absolutely-precise-and More...

I picked this up for the title alone (and the fact that I'm a big fan of "childhood friends/enemies/acquaintances/etc. growing up and discovering feelings for each other" stories). The premise is absolutely ridiculous and for me the secondary characters (at least the male ones) blended together, apart from the villain. <spoiler>The climactic confrontation at the ball at the end, particularly Harry and Molly's fathers' reactions, seemed a bit unbelievable; although given the rest

Normally, I'm very hesitant to try new romance authors. However, I came across this one at the library - the title caught my eye, and Julia Quinn's blurb on the cover convinced me to borrow it.

I think this is the author's first book so I'm willing to give her a second chance.
The plot was pretty ridiculous. Harry and Molly have known each other for over a decade when her sister married his brother. She fell in love with him but caused a major scandal when she revealed that Harry had kissed her sister while engaged.
Ten years later, their disdain is still mutual. Harry is now known as one of the Impossible Bachelors. It is a group of five men who, by order of the prince, must c More...

I'm very conflicted about this novel. It isn't often that I'm so torn when I finish a book.While this novel was enjoyable, I had a hard time suspending disbelief through much if it. I'm willing to give the characters some leeway in any historical novel I read, if the author provides an entertaining enough read to distract me from the fact that what's going on would never have been allowed in real life. Kramer exceeded in this at times, but all too often I was left feeling vaguely ill, waiting fo

Rarely do I write reviews but this time I have to. I enjoyed this book. What I had problems with was the editing. Who the heck edited this had to have been some kind of ***** (you can fill in the blank as you see fit).

This has the feel of a smutty madcap screwball comedy that ultimately falls short of it's goal. It's a 2.75 star book but I'm giving it 3 because it did make me laugh out loud and the prologue is simply hilarious.
