Contemporary romance .... 317 pages .... 3/5 stars.

accused of murder. Who knew
matchmaking was so dangerous?

(This book has humor and heart and one very memorable Great Dane named Atlas whom I loved.)
Happy Reading!
The one with the great dane looks fun to me!
ReplyDeleteI loved that Atlas becomes a key player in this book in getting the two main characters together. Gotta love a dog with personality! :)
DeleteThe Right Sort of Man looks like it is right up my alley. I love these.
ReplyDeleteIt's really good. I hope you get a chance to read it! :)
DeleteThe Right Sort of Man seems like the Right Sort of Book. Sorry, couldn't resist that! ;-p
ReplyDeleteNo, it's perfect! :)
DeleteThese are cute Haiku's! I've read Talk Bookish to Me and enjoyed it. No One Like You sounds great as I love books with dogs!
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot to like about Talk Bookish to Me, I just thought the ending wasn't as strong as the first half of the book. And No One Like You made me smile. :)
DeleteThe historical mystery definitely sounds like the one for me.
ReplyDeleteLong live haiku reviews!
:D The Right Sort of Man is very well-written! And such a good read. I think you'd like it.
DeleteI love your haikus! The Right Sort of Man appeals to me most - Gwen and Iris sound like great characters.
ReplyDeleteGwen and Iris are so much fun! I really enjoyed The Right Sort of Man. And I think the second book in the series is already out. :)
DeleteI absolutely love your Haiku reviews. Wish I could do them. So nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks. They don't work for every book, but they're fun to do. Especially when I don't feel like writing some long review. :)
DeleteI'm sure if you wished to, you could write one on every book you read but sometimes you want to tell more, right?
DeleteYes! There are books that definitely need more than three short lines to describe them. :)
DeleteI like these little reviews.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mary! :)
Deletesearching on the wind
ReplyDeletethe hawk's cry...
is the shape of its beak.
James Hackett, an Oregon haikuist...
( i think he won a global prize for this one...)
He should win a prize for that haiku. It's amazing! I wish I could write half as good. :)
DeleteI love the Sparks & Bainbridge series!
ReplyDeleteIt's so fun! I can't wait to read the next one. :)
DeleteYour reviews save me so much time...and still I think I can do a good job picking out the ones I want to know more about. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sam! Not every book lends itself to a haiku review, but when they do...it saves me the trouble of trying to write something longer. :D
DeleteLove the sound of all of these. Think I'm ready for a bit of contemporary romance right now. :-)
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just need a little bookish romance! At least I do. :)
DeleteAww that's a bummer about Talk Bookish! I hate it when books fizzle there towards the end, especially when prior to that they going well...
ReplyDeleteI felt like the energy and humor between the characters petered out at the end, and then everything got wrapped up really quick. So it wasn't as good as I wanted it to be.
DeleteLove these. What a clever haiku maker you are!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Just don't count the syllables in each line too closely. ;D
DeleteI have THE RIGHT SORT OF MAN out from the library right now. It sounds fun! Glad you enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it! I thought it was a very fun read. :)
DeleteThe Right Sort of Man sounds really good and like something I'd like. :)
ReplyDeleteIt was such a fun mystery. I really enjoyed it. :)
DeleteThank you for sharing. I just found another read.
ReplyDelete:D I'm glad.
DeleteNo One Like You looks like so much fun! I'm going to go add it to my GR before I forget!
ReplyDeleteI like a romance with a few dogs in it. And Atlas definitely makes his presence known. :)
DeleteI read The Right Sort of Man a while back and loved it, too. I just checked on Goodreads to see if the second book was out and not only is it out book three is as well! Lol! Glad to see you enjoyed it. I'll have to request the 2nd and 3rd from my library soon.
ReplyDeleteThe third book is out! I didn't know that. Guess I'll have to get busy reading. ;D
