I finished a contemporary romance: Last Chance Book Club
by Hope Ramsay. It was light and entertaining, but too predictable.My 3 star review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Nice Work – Celia Imrie – 3***
Book two in the Nice series. Love the double entendre of the title as this book is set near Nice, Cannes and Marseille in a charming small French town full of colorful characters and a tight group of expats who are trying to make a new life on the Cote d’Azur. This is a fun, enjoyable read with a bit of intrigue and a likeable cast of recurring characters. Some of the family drama from book one spills over into this tale.

Darn cute cover though:)
Devil in Winter – Lisa Kleypas – 3***
Book number three in the Wallflower series is a fun romp of a regency romance. The action moves forward at a steady pace, there are dastardly villains, innocent damsels, mysterious foreigners, handsome heroes, and a feisty heroine.

My Review
: Revenge Wears Prada – Lauren Weisberger – 2**
Subtitle: The Devil Returns. This is a follow-up to the immensely popular The Devil Wears Prada . Andy and Emily have joined forces to launch a high-end bridal magazine that is very successful. I didn’t much like either of these two lead characters and how they handled their professional and personal relationships. I’d already read book three in the series (which focuses on Emily), so that may have colored my reactions.

It's not a bad story at all. It got 3 stars not because of the shortness of it but because it just wasn't long enough to do the characters justice.

Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit – Jeanette Winterson – 3***
Winterson’s semi-autobiographical debut novel has a protagonist who is also named Jeanette. It is a glimpse at one teenager’s path out of childhood and into adulthood. Oh, the angst of teen years! The confusion and questions that adults don’t seem to want to answer (heck, they don’t want you to even ask), the emotional roller coaster of attraction vs guilt. First published in 1985, I can see why it became so popular. But I’m long past this stage of life and I’ve read many books treating coming-of-age, including those featuring LGBTQ characters. I thought it was fine for its genre, but not particularly memorable to me.

Cold-Hearted Rake – Lisa Kleypas – 3***
Book number one in The Ravenels series. A charmingly wicked bachelor inherits an earldom, and butts heads with the late earl’s beautiful, young and head-strong widow. Sparks fly and passion overcomes sensibility and rules of propriety.

I think it might work better as a regular book instead of an audio experience. My review:
