Rogue
Danielle Steel
Delacorte Press, 2008
Great read
I've been a fan of Danielle's books for years. I actually met her on the beach in Hawaii in the 1980s, and she was and is a personal delight. "Rogue" continues her seemingly never ending formula for successful romance novels. It may start off a bit on the slow side, ...

Nothing to Lose (Jack Reacher Novels)
Lee Child

Good, but not his best.
Well worth the read, but then I'm a die hard Child\Reacher fan. Kept my interest and had somw good twists and turns, but left me wanting just a bit more.

A great conclusion to the series
I thought this book was a great conclusion to the SIMPLY series. Since Claudia was a minor character in the stories of her fellow schoolteachers, I was glad that Mary Balogh added her story and provided closure for all.
Like other reviewers here, I would definitely ...

Fractured
Karin Slaughter
Delacorte Press, 2008
Fractured
This book was a great read, and a much needed change in characters. Although her other books started out interesting the storyline had become too depressing to enjoy. I really enjoyed this book and the writing style. I was entertained to the point I couldn't put it ...

Lord John and the Hand of Devils
Diana Gabaldon
Delacorte Press, 2007
Lord John fans will like this one
I'm a hopeless Lord John fan so I found these three short stories very entertaining. If you haven't read all the other books (plus the Outlander series) these stories may confuse you since they occur at different periods throughout the other two books. I enjoyed this ...
