Lee Strauss: Gingerbread Man (Paperback, 2015, ESB Publishing)

Geeks and mysteries and parallel universes, oh my!

Interesting world(s), and I really like Marlowe and Sage as main characters, they work well together. Bonus points for a geeky hero (yay!). The combination of mystery, sci-fi and a bit of a romance absolutely hits the spot for me. :)

I had one minor issue at first, though: I found the change of POV a bit confusing - not that there were four character POVs, but that they changed between 1st and 3rd person, depending on whose POV it was.

All in all a very enjoyable read, the rest of the series is now on my wishlist. :)

Maggie Dallen: Accidental Engagement (2015, Kensington Publishing Corporation)

I really liked the premise of the story, and it started out funny. Unfortunately Daniel behaved like a total jerk through most of the book, he was just not very likeable. I'm not a fan of jerk-y heroes, no matter how chiseled their chins, abs or other body parts.

Like other reviewers, I'd have liked to see Ivy get together with Jack who seemed like the nicer guy of the two. Though, I know, he has a book of his own, which I will read in the hopes that he will not pull a complete 180° and turn into a jerk, too...

I've read and liked other stories by Maggie Dallen, and I have some more on my TBR list, so I'm not giving up just because there was one guy I didn't like much. :)

hat Wild for You von Daisy Prescott besprochen

Daisy Prescott: Wild for You (Paperback, Daisy Prescott Author, Daisy Prescott)

3.5 / 5

Third book in the series, but first I have read. It worked mostly well as a standalone, though I did have some problems at first getting the group of friends sorted out. (Was it Mara or Mae now? Which was which again? That kind of stuff...)

I liked the characters, and I liked how the story and the relationship between the hero and heroine developed. Bonus points for Justin not meddling with the artsy stuff, and also for Zoe's circle of girlfriends. And the sunroof. And the cake. ALWAYS the cake. :)

Books #1 and #2 are now on my TBR list. :)

Somewhat off topic, and has no impact on either the story or my rating:
I did get hung up on the horse related details a bit, e.g. Cisco is described as a "brown and white Paint" - by Zoe, who is definitely a non-horsey …
