About:

The red-haired, fiery beauty Lady Serena Carlow has just lost her father to pneumonia. Her mother died when she was just twelve years old and she is an only child.

Serena's fifty-something year old father left behind a widow, the young Lady Fanny, who is twenty three years old, which makes her a few years younger than Serena. Milverly house, Serena's home, is left to her male cousin.



To Serena's horror, at the reading of her fathers will, Ivo Barrasford who is the marquis of Rotherham, is named trustee of Serena's wealth.


Rotherham, who is not even a blood relative, is also Serena's ex-beau, whom she broke it off with years ago because he was 'unendurable'. Serena's father however, trusted and liked Rotherham.




Added to all of this, Serena was once in love with a soldier named Hector Kirkby. This was six years ago and Serena's father made her break off the match since Hector was not wealthy.


Serena and the fair and dainty Fanny get along very well and they decide to temporarily move to Bath. Once at Bath, the two ladies make new acquaintances and find some entertainment with this new change of scenery. Serena even runs into her old flame, Major Hector Kirkby and sparks reignite.





My thoughts:

If I had to describe Bath Tangle with just one word, it would be charming.







Oh, what a tangled web Miss Georgette Heyer weaves in this novel.

This book had me laughing from the start with all the goings on within the storyline and sighing at the sweet romance throughout.




The reading of the will was a favorite scene and I laughed out loud at Serena's reaction to her fate. I thought she was going to claw Rotherham's eyes out since he had the nerve to laugh out loud after the Will was read.

"Fanny, don't touch me! I am not safe!"

-(Serena to Fanny)







I liked Rotherham and thought he made a good hero.
He and Serena had great chemistry, and although the two always found one reason or other to argue, I could always see that he still held feelings for her.
Some of the things he would say to Serena had me laughing. He is very much the 'no nonsense' type of guy.



Serena was likeable. She's got a mind of her own, is a self-confessed flirt and is always ready to argue with Rotherham when the opportunity arises.

She was raised as part of the upper class, used to meeting royalty, with mannerisms of someone who is used to having only the best. She also has a bit of a reputation due to her feisty temper and because she broke off her engagement with Rotherham.




Poor Fanny, she was made a widow in her early twenties, with a step-daughter near her same age to boot. She and Serena are more like sisters than anything. Fanny is happy with the simple life.




I liked when Hector Kirkby made his entrance into the story. He makes it known that he has never forgotten Serena and hates Rotherham. I did feel that Hector was too head over heels in love with Serena, and was blind to her faults. I would laugh out loud when Serena would put him in his place, as he had no control over her.
Another funny scene was when he took Serena to meet his mother. Hector is a bit of a flake.




I always enjoy visiting Regency England through Heyer's stories. She describes the time, place and customs so well that I feel as though I am really there.



This was a fun romance and I found myself being unable to put this one down. Heyer made me laugh until the very end.


The author has a knack for putting her characters into place, then letting the story take twists and turns until the final page.

This was also a story about class and social standings. Heyer weaves this aspect of class into the storyline very well.





With Georgette Heyer's signature witty dialogue, sweet romance, interesting characters and a fun storyline, I thoroughly enjoyed Bath Tangle.



This book has also been reviewed by:

I'll close my review with a few favorite tidbits:

"Don't shoot daggerlooks at me! I'm impervious to 'em."

p.13

He had few graces, his manners being blunt to a fault, made as many enemies as friends, and, had he not been endowed with birth, rank, and fortune, would possibly
have been ostracized from polite circles. But these magical attributes were his, and they acted like a talisman upon his world. His Belcher neckties and his unconventional manners might be deplored but must be accepted: he was Rotherham.

p.13

"It is nearly seven years since I first saw her, and from that day those feelings have remained unchanged! She appeared to me then like some heavenly creature descended to earth to make every other woman seem commonplace! Her beauty, her grace, the very music of her voice, I could never forget! They have remained with me, haunted all of my dreams..."

p.127

first line: Everything here is true.

rated: 3 out of 5 stars

What do you get when you plop a moody Midwesterner in Manhattan, the land of the quick and the mean, then grant him a dream job and visions of true love? One disaster after another…



In Lost on Treasure Island: A Memoir of Longing, Love, and Lousy Choices in New York City, Steve Friedman recounts with utter honesty and mordant clarity those fateful years, starting with his first job at GQ, including his awkward efforts to impress his terrifying boss and find his future wife. Friedman’s misadventures include real and imagined love affairs, catastrophic encounters at work and play, and desperate attempts to find authenticity – nearly all of which, in the end, fail miserably.

About:
Lost on Treasure Island A Memoir of Longing, Love, and Lousy Choices in New York City is Steve Friedman's candid and sometimes humorous memoir where he shares his experiences working in New York City as a literary editor for GQ.



Originally from St. Louis, Steve takes the plunge and moves to NYC. While working for GQ he makes friends out of work colleagues, has affairs with different women, has his heart broken and meets actress Mary-Louise Parker among a few other celebs.



Steve makes some bad choices in fashion (he wears a lime-green business suit to a job interview), makes bad decisions in love and pitches some interesting story ideas to his boss.


In his mid-forties, Steve realizes he wants to settle down and find Mrs.Friedman. He embarks on what he calls 'The Plan' in order to find a wife.


Steve takes the reader along his personal journey of ten years while living in New York, which includes several bad dates, betrayal by loved ones, his joining a self-help group and his difficulties at work.





My thoughts:

I enjoyed reading Lost on Treasure Island and found it to be an open and honest memoir by Steve Friedman.


As I read, I felt like an old friend was sitting next to me telling me his life story. Some of it was funny, some of it was endearing, some of it was awkward, all of it was interesting and well written.
Steve tells his story and you can either like him or not. He writes about his several affairs, and even cheating on his girlfriend.

Although Steve had a drinking problem in the past and suffered from chronic stomach aches and sleeplessness, he manages to add humor to his story and keep his memoir light and even inspirational at times.

I found it to be refreshing reading a memoir that wasn't depressing.



Steve always tried to keep his head up, and when things got tough his mantras were It is a pleasant day. I am my own worst enemy. Things aren't so bad. This too shall pass.



Steve had me laughing out loud as I read with his witty remarks and his reactions to different people and situations.


I recommend Lost on Treasure Island to anyone in the mood for a memoir that's open, honest and funny.

first line: I am a star.

rated: 3 out of 5 stars

Hollywood casting director Vivien Slate thought she had it all, until coming home one day to find her husband cheating on her with a younger woman. With her marriage on the rocks, she decides it’s the perfect time to recapture her sexual identity... by finding a younger man of her own.


Vivien realizes she has a dating service right inside her own office—she’s a casting director, after all. She devises a scenario to make the town believe her newest film project is as real as any other. She populates the cast with male characters spanning the ages of twenty to forty and begins holding auditions with hundreds of Tinseltown’s most eligible bachelors.


Vivien stops at nothing to find her perfect younger man, even if it means leaving her morals behind and ultimately putting her life in danger.

About the story:


Vivien Slate is a well known and respected casting director in Los Angeles. She seems to have it all, a good career, a teenage son, a beautiful home and a steady marriage to a husband who brings home the dough. However, when Viv comes home unannounced and early from work one day, she catches her husband having sex with his young secretary in their new jacuzzi.


Naturally Viv is furious and heartbroken, but she goes back to work and all hell breaks loose soon enough. Viv decides she wants to get payback and have sex with a younger man herself.



After trying to get back into the dating scene with no luck, Viv has an epiphany. She decides that if she can't find the perfect man on the dating scene, she will cast him in a fake movie instead. She gets her assistant to come up with a fake movie script, then she holds auditions for the leading man.


Viv has plenty of actors vying for a role in the new film, and she sets her eye on a few of them. She goes on a few dates with these younger guys. One date is unsuccessful, but another leads to a one night stand. After this, Viv realizes she wants to find a steady relationship, not just a Mr. Right Now. However, things take a turn for the worse and Viv finds her life in danger.




My thoughts:

Slate was a pretty interesting read. I laughed out loud during a few scenes.


I enjoyed Viv's antics and was impressed by her gusto. When Viv catches her husband cheating and she goes to grab the baseball bat, I cheered for her. I like that Viv was a no-nonsense kind of gal. When she decides to find a man, she goes all out.



Author Brian Rowe successfully incorporates several characters into the storyline, all revolving around Viv. I almost felt like this book could be made into a mini-series.




Now, I'm no prude, but I didn't like some of the sexual descriptions in the book. I also found some of the behavior from certain characters to be hard to believe. I won't go into too many details, but at one point a male character forced another male to do something that made me say "whoa" as I was reading. That scene immediately pulled me out of the story and just put me off. Some of the insights to the a few of the characters thoughts were TMI as well.



I did keep reading though because I wanted to find out what happens with Viv and her search for Mr. Right. I was also interested in Viv's assistant Brandon, and the things that were happening to him. He cracked me up at one point with his reaction to something his boyfriend did. I won't say anything else, so not to include any spoilers.





All in all this was a fun read, with some humorous scenes. If some of the sexual scenes were toned down I would have given Slate a higher rating.

rated: deliciously twisted

3 1/2 out of 5 stars

Esteemed author Nickolas Cook gives new life, or rather takes it away, in his version of Alice in Alice in Zombieland. When Alice follows the Black Rat down an open grave, she falls and falls into a world full of the undead, rotting flesh, and characters beyond her imagination. But there’s something troubling Alice. Her skin is rotting and her hair is falling out, and she has the haunting feeling that is she remains in Zombieland any longer, she might never leave. Can Alice escape Zombieland, and stay out of the Dead Red Queen’s clutches along the way?

I've actually never read Alice In Wonderland, but I have seen the film version so I know the basic storyline.

In this zombified version, Alice is playing in a graveyard near her home with her sister when she spots a Black Rat nearby and follows it down an open grave.
Alice ends up in Zombieland where the Red Queen rules over the living and the dead.


She ends up meeting strange characters, most of whom seem to not be alive, yet not wholly dead. Some of these strange characters are the Conqueror Wurm and the Corpse Turtle.

Alice herself is starving and has a strange craving for live meat, and finds it hard to focus on anything but her hunger and how yummy some of the characters she stumbles across look. Her hair is also falling out and her skin has a blue tint to it.



As she goes through Zombieland, Alice tries to find her way back home. She finally comes across the Red Queen herself and her small army of zombies.



This was a fun read, I enjoyed the Cheshire Cat scene and the Tea Party scene the most.

"In that direction," the Cat said, waving its right paw round, "lives a Hatter: and in that direction," waving the other paw, "lives a Dead Hare. Visit either you like: they're both zombies."

"But I don't want to go among dead people," Alice remarked.

"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "We're all dead here. I'm dead. You're dead."


p.108

I found Alice in Zombieland to be very twisted, plenty of scenes were gruesome and not for the faint of heart. The illustrations within the book were entertaining and I finished this one in one sitting.








If you're a fan of spoofs and zombies, you might enjoy this one.


As for myself, I'd like to read the original soon. I do wonder how close to Carroll's original story this parody is.

She stretched herself up on tiptoe, and peeped over the edge of the pale, smelly mushroom, and her eyes immediately met those of a large black wurm, that was sitting on the top with its arms folded, quietly supping on a freshly dismembered human ear which it had stolen from the nearby graveyard and taking not the smallest notice of her or of anything else.

first line: As his beloved Elizabeth shattered the nearest zombie's skull with a perfectly placed axe kick, Fitzwilliam Darcy saw in her eyes something that had been missing for a long, long time: joie de vivre.


rated: 4 out of 5 stars

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and its prequel, Dawn of the Dreadfuls, were both New York Times best sellers, with a combined 1.3 million copies in print. Now the PPZ trilogy comes to a thrilling conclusion with Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dreadfully Ever After.

Dreadfully Ever After is the third and final installment in the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies trilogy.
What can I say, other than this trilogy has been a fun and quirky ride?

Dreadfully Ever After starts off with a happily married Elizabeth and Darcy visiting the Bingley's, who I might add have four children. Elizabeth is no longer allowed to slay zombies in public especially, since she is now a married woman and doing so is frowned upon when she has a perfectly capable husband to slay the undead for her.


On the walk home, Darcy is bitten by a zombie child.
Lizzie refuses to do what she is supposed to do to anyone who has been bitten by an unmentionable. She cannot bear to slice her beloveds head off with her katana.
Instead Lizzie contacts Darcy's aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, since there is rumor she has access to a cure for the disease.



Lady Catherine agrees to help Darcy, but she does have a few stipulations, the first being she take him back to her home and away from Lizzie, who she still hates. Elizabeth and her sister Kitty are supposed to be seductresses as well, getting the zombie cure from its creator, Sir Angus MacFarquhar, and his son Bunny.


Lady Catherine sees this as an opportunity to get rid of Lizzie and ruin her reputation once and for all. It's also her chance to get her sickly daughter, Anne, near Darcy.






I thoroughly enjoyed Dreadfully Ever After. Having read the first two books in this trilogy, I was eager to get to this one. I laughed out loud as I read and the book kept me hooked wondering what would happen next. The illustrations within the book add that 'special touch'.
Author Steve Hockensmith combines two of my favorite things: Pride & Prejudice and zombies. What's most impressive is that what started as inserting zombies into Austen's beloved novel Pride & Prejudice, has spurned two other books that have a life of their own.


I think this is a great conclusion to the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies trilogy. It was funny, quirky and Austen's beloved characters stay true to form, though most are highly trained warriors. Lizzie's dainty parasol conceals well hidden razor blades and a small sword in its center. I'm actually sad to see it all end.

Not everyone in Derbyshire had accepted the warrior woman of inferior birth who had married their precious Fitzwilliam Darcy. Even after years at Pemberly House-years in which she'd never once worn her katana in public-she still caught the occasional whiff of disapproval. The resentment seemed to stir up most whenever her mother visited, yet Elizabeth could never be sure when it might arise.

first line: It began with a vibrator.

rated: 4 out of 5 stars








The first line in The Liberation of Alice Love made me laugh out loud.

The story centers around a single, thirty something year old lawyer named Alice Love working in an agency in London.

When Alice tries using her debit card, she is declined. After calling the bank, she realizes she is a victim of fraud. Things only get worse when Alice goes to the bank to try and get a loan for a flat and she finds out she is thousands of pounds in debt due to fraudulent purchases and withdrawals.

Alice is trying to figure out who could have possibly stolen her identity and taken off with her life savings.



After finding out who the culprit is, feeling foolish and betrayed, Alice falls into a depression. The debt collectors are calling, she is unsure whether the bank will refund her money, and she feels like an idiot.
Soon enough Alice hires a man named Nathan to help her track down the thief who stole her identity. She first met the handsome Nathan at her sisters party and was instantly taken by him. He is a financial investigator and is eager to help her.


Alice decides to stop feeling at fault for what happened to her, and to somehow track down the thief and get her life back on track.



She begins tracking the thief's purchases and places they frequented and learns how her money was spent. Along the way, Alice finds herself trying out a gym membership that was taken out in her name and stopping to purchase clothes on a whim at a store where the thief shopped. Alice becomes liberated by doing things that are out of the norm for her in the process of trying to understand the thief's motives.




I really enjoyed The Liberation of Alice Love. It's a fun, sweet and interesting read.
I liked Alice, she made me laugh throughout the book. The supporting characters were well written and the story was taking twists and turns that had me wondering what would happen next.





The identity theft aspect of the story was right on point. When Alice questions the bank manager, she asks in great detail how someone could have wiped her accounts clean. She asked him questions like how could the culprit have known the answers to her personal questions, such as what is the name of her first pet and how the transfer could have gotten through so quickly when in reality a basic check deposit takes days to clear. Being in banking myself, I know the ins and outs of this type of thing and I can appreciate that the author did her research here, in order to make the fraud aspect of the story believable.
Abby McDonald is an author to look out for. What most impressed me is that she is just twenty five years old.

She didnt' waste time pining over men; she'd learned that lesson years ago. If they were interested, they would do something about it, and if they didn't-well, then they clearly didn't care enough to waste her time wondering over them. It was simple, far simpler tham any books or magazines or even her friends would admit.

Believing otherwise, she knew, would only leave her feeling an ache every night, absence like a physical form in the empty bed beside her.

title: Gods Behaving Badly

genre: fiction/humor/contemporary romance


published: 2007


pages: 295

rated: 3 1/2 out of 5 stars










Gods Behaving Badly is cheeky and funny with a dash of romance and I enjoyed it from cover to cover.


This book is about ancient Greek gods living in modern day London and trying to make a living. Artemis, the Greek goddess of hunting, is a dog walker. Apollo, the sun god, is doing a pilot for a tv program called Apollos Oracle. He is a psychic with the aid of the oracles. Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty, does phone sex for a living. Aphrodite's son Eros (Cupid), is a born-again Christian.



Aphrodite and Apollo are lovers and when he wrongs her, she wants her revenge. She decides to get Eros to shoot Apollo with a love arrow.






Mortals Alice and Neil are on their first date in the audience for Apollos Oracle. Aphrodite sends Eros to hit Apollo with a love arrow during the taping of his show. When he is hit, Apollo instantly sets eyes on Alice and falls madly and inexplicably in love with her. Eros was supposed to hit Alice with an arrow that would make her intensely hate Apollo, but being a good Christian, Eros just couldn't bring himself to do that.




When Alice, who cleans houses for a living, goes looking for work, fate lands her with a job as the gods housekeeper. Apollo is stunned and delighted to find his true love at his doorstep.



Alice knows there is something odd about the Greeks who inhabit the rundown house, but she can't put her finger on it. She also wonders why Apollo is so attracted to her, she figures he is probably on drugs like most celebs.




Good guy Neil and shy Alice are in love, but they still have yet to tell each other.
When Apollo makes his move on Alice, and she rejects him, he doesn't take it mildly. He involves Zeus in his revenge. As the story flows, Hades and Persephone and their underworld are involved and the plot takes some fun twists and turns.







Gods Behaving Badly was an enjoyable contemporary romance. Some of it was funny, some of it bizarre. The state of the gods house was just plain gross, there were rats all over the place, the house was really rundown and uninhabitable. Yet these Greek gods and goddesses inhabit this dirty house, with Zeus himself hiding out in the attic.



The gods all had their own personalities and I enjoyed that. Aphrodite's cell phone would ring and she would instantly go into phone sex mode. Eros is a Christian who goes to church and regrets not having ever met Jesus while he was still alive. Artemis enjoys going for runs. Apollo is full of himself, and cannot believe that anyone would refuse him.




Hermes takes the dead to the underworld on his motorbike. Here he is talking to someone about Apollo while giving them a ride on his bike:

"Did you shag him?" said Hermes. "I wouldn't worry about that. Everybody shags him. Even I've shagged him. That was during a very boring decade. Oops, nearly missed my turn."

p.152

There were plenty of laugh out loud moments and the story just kept going with fun plot twists and turns. I didn't know what to expect next. The end was wrapped up real nice and neat with a cherry on top, but I didn't mind the happily ever after ending. This was an entertaining read.

first line: Walking out in the middle of a funeral would be, of course, bad form.

rated: 3 1/2 out of 5 stars







What can I say about Dawn of the Dreadfuls? This was a fun, creepy and strange book and I enjoyed it. This book is a prequel to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies which I read back in January.



Author Steve Hockensmith does not take the storyline directly from Pride and Prejudice, he does however use Austen's characters and adds a few of his own, then mixes that with zombies. The zombies a.k.a. The Dreadfuls, long since thought to have all been slayed, have now returned to Longbourne. Mr. Bennet, who was once part of a secret order and a warrior himself, takes it upon himself to train his 5 daughters on how to slay the undead. It's either learn to fight or be disowned and eventually, most likely, eaten by zombies.

It was a cry that hadn't been heard in Hertfordshire for years, yet nearly everyone there knew what it was.


The zombie wail.

In the midst of all this, an annoying baron named Lord Lumpley pays a visit to the Bennet household and of course, sets his eye on the eldest sister, Jane. Soon after Mr. Bennet begins training his daughters, tall, dark and handsome, Geoffrey Hawksworth, arrives on the scene. He has been sent to train the girls himself. Not before long, Geoffrey, Master as he insists they call him, takes a special notice of Elizabeth.

When Elizabeth meets Dr. Bertram Keckilpenny, she is really interested in his unique ways of dealing with the undead. The two hit it off right away and before you know it, there's a minor love triangle involved in the story.



As if the zombies and would be suitors aren't enough, Elizabeth still has to prepare for her coming out ball. It doesn't help that most of the town is against the Bennet sisters' warrior training, they consider it unladylike behavior. The sisters soon become social pariahs and are avoided by most of the town.




I'm a sucker for these kinds of books. I know some die hard Austen fans don't care much for these types of spin-offs. Pride & Prejudice is my favorite Austen, so while reading this one, I knew that Elizabeth and Jane were not going to pick any suitors, but I still enjoyed seeing some new characters vie for their affections.



I liked the illustrations throughout the book. And how creepy is the cover on this one? I enjoyed the storyline, I liked the fighting and training scenes in particular and I liked the characters within the story. Steve Hockensmith creates plenty of quirky characters to keep the reader interested. He also takes Austen's beloved characters and keeps them true to their personalities. Elizabeth is strong willed and intelligent. Jane is still trying to find the good in everyone.


All in all, a fun book, I recommend it if you enjoy zombies and Austen spin offs.
The last part of the book actually reminded me a bit of Night of the Living Dead. I also liked the ending alot, it had a little unexpected twist that I enjoyed.

Within moments, there were zombies enough for all. Some ran from the shadows, some staggered, some crawled. Some were men, some women, some children. Some wore ragged shrouds, some bloody clothing, some absolutely nothing. Yet they all had one thing in common: They were headed toward the house.
