Highland Lover
Highland Lover by Amanda Scott (Romance, Women's Fiction, Relationships, Humor)
This is the third in a series and a thoroughly enjoyable romance novel. Lady Allison MacGillivray is fun and her encounter with Lord Jake Maxwell under the livelihood of a ship's captain is interesting and entertaining. I love how Amanda Scot manages to share a lot of true Scottish history within her stories. A good read! -- Added by k2disos on 02/16/2013

Easy
Easy by Tammara Webber (Romance, Women's Fiction, Relationships, Humor)
This book may be unconventional as a typical love story. It definitely hits the strong points of assault and why it is so important to report it, tell people and seek help. Although a little heavy, was a very good book. -- Added by trublu on 02/14/2013

The Quality of Life Report
The Quality of Life Report by Meghan Daum (Romance, Women's Fiction, Relationships, Humor)
This is the story of a New Yorker's move to the heartlands. There is a lot of humor in this story, but as we get to know the characters it is obvious that all is not fun and games. The book is well written and I enjoyed listening to it. -- Added by Cyndy on 02/14/2013

The After Wife
The After Wife by Gigi Levangie Grazer (Romance, Women's Fiction, Relationships, Humor)
This book explores the grief and pain of the sudden death of a spouse at a young age and what it may be like if one could still communicate with not only your spouse's spirit, but also with others. As strange as the premise is, it seemed reasonable in the story! Again shows the power of close friends at a time like that. -- Added by Ethel Hartman on 02/11/2013

Where'd You Go, Bernadette
Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple (Romance, Women's Fiction, Relationships, Humor)
The author wrote for TV comedies before entering fiction. The writing in this book is not in a usual fiction format. There are not chapters. There is a mixture of narration, emails, letters, commentary, and dialogue. This book was OK. Ending was interesting, but middle to end was really lacking. -- Added by TheWriteJim on 02/10/2013
