Summary: Incoherent characterizations and cliched writing
Comment: Of the dozens of Harlequin Temptations and Blaze romances I have read, this is probably the worst. I'd guess the author is trying to emulate Sex and the City, but falls far far short. Every page has howlingly bad writing (I'd give examples, but I left the book at the beach) and the characters' motivations literally make no sense. Worst of all, flat and unbelievable sex scenes. What happened to the editors at Harlequin?
Rating: 5
Summary: Too Much Fun!
Comment: First of all I'm not sure karenml read this book as every reference beginning with page one refers to the story taking place in TEXAS, not California, duh.
Secondly. Read This Book. I can't recommend it highly enough. I haven't read anything so kick[ing] in years. Can't wait for more of Ms. Kent's most excellent portrayal of city girls!

Summary: This plot is tied up in knots
Comment: This book is the first in a series about a group of 6 young women who successfully started an internet site in California. Macy is the main character in this book and is a self-proclaimed "wild child" who does not want to grow up. This image is further abetted by her fashion style - dressing like a teenager, which compounds the childish appearance of her body and face. Macy hooks up with lawyer Leo, who is a stuffed shirt who barely smiles, let alone is interested in having a "wild" lifestyle. What do they see in each other? Cheap sex is all they have in common as far as I can tell. The author's goals were too ambitious for this first novel in the series and the story would have been greatly improved by judicious editing. There were too many details that were extraneous to this story and future installments, for example, paragraphs were spent on describing the food at Macy's parties and the interactions between the other and men at the parties. I suppose the latter was designed to pique interest in future installments, but all it did was decrease the amount of space devoted to the main characters in this book. The secondary story about Macy's roommate and her boyfriend should have been greatly trimmed in favor of much greater character development of Macy and especially Leo. I never understood the main characters and more importantly, could not figure out what they saw in each other - especially Macy's interest in Leo because the guy never talked, he always just walked. He walked out every time something out of routine happened without saying a word. This would get old really fast. As far as I could tell Leo was interested in Macy because she was easy. And because the couple did not truly have what I would consider a real relationship at any time in the book - including the end, their sexual behavior was cheap adn tawdry and hardly what I am looking for even in a Blaze romance. I don't see this couple lasting longer than it takes for the flare of sexual attraction to pass.
