This book is named SOMETHING GREAT for a reason..>IT IS FREAKING AMAZING! I am so in love with this book. NO LIE! Author M Clarke has captured a BEAUTIFUL story and given it life. I am not usually a romance reader. I am more of a paranormal/magic/supernatural type of reader. This book had me hooked from the very beginning. I love the twists and turns, the characters and the storyline. I am looking forward to more books by M Clarke.

Buddy Read with one of my BBBs (best book bitches) Jessica!!
Here we are reading the book....
Oh wait...you thought this was a comedy?!?!
Something Great = NOT so great!
DNF'd at approximately 60%!!!
Mostly--the dialogue! It was bad, horrible, embarassing, cheesy as hell....
I think the following quotes speak for themselves!
"I'm your prescription. Let me be your new addiction."
Really Max? Really? Does that line usually work for you??

It's a miracle I managed to finish this book!
I was so excited before I started reading! I liked the blurb, loved the cover and even the first few chapters were great! But then it went quickly downhill. I can't even count how many times I was on the brick of giving up! The one thing I don't understand: How this book got so many 5-star ratings???
First of all, the story is NOTHING ORIGINAL!

VERY GOOD: The characteristics of a heart book include: a great story; I loved the characters; and there was an interesting plot and unique story elements; there may have been a few odd things kept the story from being amazing. I would read it again and I would recommend it to a friend.This book was provided by the author for an honest review.

This book was amazing. Let me tell you, for someone who hasbn't written in this genre before. Well, she nailed it out of the park. This is the best book I have read in 2013 and maybe period. I am so tired of reading the rock stars, bad boys, etc. Max was a gentleman, so sweet, caring and loving. He really loved Jenna and he did everything to show her and make her feel special. Jenna, I loved and adored. She wasn't like most other book heroines. She was strong, amazing and I loved how she was dif

“I’m your prescription. Let me be your new addiction”. I LOVED that!! The pull between the main characters is fantastic. How they are able to hold off is beyond me. Jenna knows what she wants and it could very well be Max but she is at a crossroads when it comes to him being her boss’s son and she’s not sure she really wants to go there. BUT, is the pull he has on her too intense that she isn’t able to say no to him. This is a first in ro ...more

This is an amazing story about the unexpected whirlwind romance between Max and Jeanella. They run into each other and find that there is a chemistry that is undeniable, but trying to stay focused and not cheat on her current boyfriend Jeanella ignores her feelings. Max fights hard to get her attention and does cute and sweet things to impress her. Jeanella finds her feeling are becoming overwhelming and cant deny them any longer. This story has its ups and downs, highs and lows that every great

This book really is Something great. I read it all in one night because I simply could not put it down. It was so worth my book hangover the next day. Jeanella is a likable and determined character and Maxwell is simply swoon-worthiness tied in a bow. When the two cross paths, feelings are ignited on both sides. Little do either of them realize their paths will cross again. I think what I really enjoyed about this book and what sets it apart from so many of the NA stories out there is that is do

When I read Mary Ting’s YA Crossroads series, it crossed my mind she would be a great Adult Contemporary Romance author, too, if she turned up the heat. Well, my wish came true in her new Adult novel, Something Great, written under her pseudonym, M. Clarke.
The story is both fast-paced and an easy read while it gives you the emotional turmoil and angst Jenna experiences with her feelings for her boyfriend, Luke, and the very hot, Max.

Reviewed by R. Murry
Romantic stories are now geared to the young, because they are the only ones who fall in love?! The one difference I see in Contemporary Romance vs. any other Romance novel is gadgets used to upscale the plot. In Mary’s novel Something Great, that gadget is a Smart Phone, with people using texts to convey information. I’m old school and don’t text.

I wasn't sure what I was going to think of this book but I really enjoyed it. It showed two people who had their own trust issues but also fell hard for each other. Jeanella and Max make a good couple but talking was a problem for them.
I'm going to continue with the next book because I want to know Matt's story.

It is spectacular!

His pursuit is relentless and unconventional, making Jenna even mo

There was no need for words; I felt his hard stare on my body, as if he was undressing me with his gorgeous eyes. His gaze was powerful, as if his eyes were hands; I felt them all over me, completely unraveling me.
College graduate, Jeanella Meffered has always kept her life plain and simple. She liked everything to run smooth, her friends, her job and even the guy she is dating Luke. Luke has never made her feel special but mostly he has never made her feel. He doesn’t treat her bad but h ...more

I was instantly drawn to this book just by the cover however what was in the page was so much better. Something Great was absolutely amazing and left you wanting more. The story was well thought out, characters were awesome. Max was def blush worthy and boy did he know how to make a girl swoon. He was the total package, good looks and loaded to boot, almost too good to be true. Jenna of course knew his type right from the start or so she thought besides that she had a boyfriend who was comfortab

Mary Ting has done it again! She made me laugh and cry at the same time. I became so involved in the characters that I couldn't put it down. In this New Adult book, Mary gives romance without making it sound so mechanical. The twists and turns kept me on edge while all the time I was saying come on be with Max...who cares who his dad is...lol.
As always I can't wait for another book by her!

Mary Ting, aka M. Clarke in this case, has made the transition to adult romance very successfully. I've been a huge fan of Mary's ever since I first read Crossroads, but as M. Clarke, Mary has crossed the line into more adult themes while maintaining the style that has made her other books so successful. Ladies, you're gonna fall in love with Max Knight...he's gorgeous, he's sexy, and he knows how to make his lady feel sooo loved! Jeanella is torn between solid, safe Luke, who she is currently d

Trust doesn't come easy for Jenna, so she's always playing it safe. When a total stranger puts her pulse into overdrive she expects it to be a one time occurrence. What are the chances of running into him again? She was as wrong as she could be. Little did she know Max was her boss's son.
Max wasn't an option because he wasn't safe, and now he definitely isn't an option. Letting herself get caught up in him would be unprofessional. Max doesn't take rejection, and he pursues Jenna like it's his jo ...more

I really enjoyed the first part of the book. It was a solid 4. Guy and girl see each other across a restaurant, eyes lock…instant attraction for both of them. Unfortunately, she has a boyfriend and he’s there with someone else. But call it fate or serendipity, they keep running into each other. And let the wooing ensue!

“So when that time comes, make sure to pick the one you can’t live without. The one that lifts you up and never lets you touch the ground. The one that loves you so much, he’ll put you first above anything else. The one that will love you on the sunny days, but love you most through the heavy, thunderous storms. Let him pamper you, shelter you, and romance you till he’s given his all. And in return, love hard and give back everything he’d given you.”
