Do-Over

Summary: Fun little gem!
Review: Cara Adams's world has taken a spin toward disaster. Mark "the Shark" Morgan -- the man who made her law school years a living hell -- has joined the firm she has painstakingly tried to make partner for six years. To make matters worse, Mark, with his New York contacts and credentials, is a bigger shoo-in for the aforementioned position. What's the girl to do? Not fall in love with the Shark... right? Things would be so different if the gods would grant her a do-over...

This is another fun installment from Harlequin Flipside. It is a lighthearted, hip and witty romantic gem! I recommend this wonderful effort to those who love romantic comedies.

Summary: Not sure what to think
Review: Having heard good things about the Harlequin Flipside series, I decided to give them a try. So far, I haven't found one that has been good. Not that I'm expecting to read classic literature, but I do enjoy mindless reading at times. May be I just haven't found the right book in the series to read. Do-Over sounded good, but halfway through I started to think the author should take her character's advice and "do-over" this book. I'll guess I'll keep reading until I can find one in the series that is good.

Summary: Great FUN read -escape from life's chaos w/this book!
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was a very easy read, yet fun and entertaining as well. The story is set in suburban Detroit, which was a bonus for me as I am a native of the area. I had a hard time putting this book down with Cara's fast paced life to follow. An all around fun read to forget the chaos our daily lives bring us. ENJOY!!

Summary: humorous contemporary romance
Review: Thirty-years old Cara Adams knows with her track record and as the most senior associate, she is next in line for partnership at the Detroit suburban law firm of Saperstein, Underwood, Clark and Kielman. Cara has followed her thirteen rules for success and believes she has earned the privilege due to hard successful work.

However, the office relationships tilt when her law school enemy Mark Morgan returns to town as competition at her law firm. Deep in her gut, Cara knows she lusts for Mark, but refuses to repeat her "dumbing" down performance she did at law school to attract him. Though they work together on a critical case, Mark and Cara struggle to ignore their attraction that is stronger than ever. She rejects what is blossoming into love because she does not trust him and he says no because he does not trust relationships after observing his parents. Of course Cara also has rule number fourteen to consider: "Follow your heart".

Fans of humorous contemporary romance with two delightfully intelligent lead protagonists will enjoy this replay tale. The story line contains interesting "truisms' on single life in the city especially in a law firm, but it is the conflict between Mark and Cara that makes the plot move. Sub-genre fans and the residents of Mount Olympus will enjoy this charming story.

Summary: CUTE!
Review: This was a very fun book. The writing was smart, the characters were fun to get to know and, in my opinion, it's the best Flipside so far. It's not going to win awards for great literature, but it's a light read and an enjoyable one - recommended.
