The Mama's Reviews:

Henry Castle is no Richard Castle, that’s for sure

July 25, 2016 by The Mama Leave a Comment

Is it bad that I can’t really remember this book? I had to look up the blurb on Amazon and even after reading some reviews, I can’t really put my finger on how I felt about the book. I do remember the basic plot, though. Amy Sheldon runs a flower shop (sort of; it seems like she just sort of drifts about). Henry Castle orders a lot of flowers for a variety of women. When Amy screws up one of his orders by sending it […]

I feel like I’ve read Rachel Gibson before, but when I looked through her author page, all of the books looked both similar and complete foreign at the same time.

Twenty-five years ago, Silas (“32”) Jones and […]

Not so sweet

July 25, 2016 by The Mama Leave a Comment

I remembered reading another of Stephanie Evanovich’s books (Big Girl Panties) awhile ago, but didn’t remember too much about it, other than it was kind of a serviceable romance, and I needed something to listen to on my commute, so I downloaded The Sweet Spot from the library’s website. And then I remembered that I didn’t much like Big Girl Panties. And then I remembered why. The Sweet Spot was written after Big Girl Panties, but is set a couple of years before it, chronicling […]
