Product Description
From the Author
"I love writing books about librarains who break stereotypes!" says author Cathie Linz. "And once I had a heroine named Paige Turner, I knew she had to work with books for a living. As for my hero Shane Huntington, well...suffice it to say he's something special, too! I hope you enjoy reading my latest book and that you'll watch for my next release STRANDED WITH THE SERGEANT, an August Silhouette Romance about US Marine Joe Wilder."

Excellent Duo, Dec 12 2001
By mayfayre "mayfayre" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Between the covers (Paperback)
This is definitely a Duet worth reading!Cathie Linz' story, "Between The Covers" tells the tale of Paige Turner, a woman destined by her name to become a librarian. She's a "nice" woman, and becomes friends with Detective Shane Huntington, the Huntington family's black sheep. It seems he turned his back on his family's tradition of becoming proctologists by joining the police force, and they've never quite forgiven him. In order to meet conditions of an inheritance, he has to get married to a woman who meets a set of exacting conditions. Of course he turns to Paige the librarian for help in finding the perfect wife.
This was an amusing and fast-paced story. It had some classic themes of the genre - Paige's transformation in designer gowns, snobbish family members, the answer to Shane's dilemma being right before his eyes, etc. - but they were all done with style and wit. It was a very enjoyable story.
Jane Sullivan's "The Matchmaker's Mistake" is another excellent example of why I'm always on the lookout for one of her books. Her stories never fail to entertain. This story tells the tale of Mark McAlister, accountant. He's up for a coveted partnership in his firm, but he can see his chances slowly diminishing because he has neither the style nor the connections nor the trophy wife to advance the interests of the firm. Mark is not a one-dimensional character; he's overcome a lot in his earlier life to get where he is today, and it has scarred him. He goes to a bar to try to meet his perfect future wife, and is ultimately taken under the wing of Liz Prescott, the bartender. Liz takes pity on him and decides to take him in hand and help him achieve his goal.
This story was a version of Pygmalion in reverse. Liz is the free spirit who is trying to loosen up up Mark and recreate his image. Both characters were wonderful, the writing sharp and humorous, and the romance lovely. This book is definitely a keeper.

A keeper!, Mar 31 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Between the covers (Paperback)
BETWEEN THE COVERS by Cathie Linz is a laugh out loud keeper. A librarian named Paige Turner has to help cop Shane Huntington find the "Perfect Wife" with hysterical results. I loved the scene with the grandmother! What a great book! I have all of this author's books on my keeper shelf -- she's always a great read!

BETWEEN THE COVERS--A Fun Read!, Mar 13 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Between the covers (Paperback)
Only the legendary Cathie Linz could create a librarian heroine named Paige Turner. This book is a perfect antidote to those dreary pre-spring days. Enjoy the fun!
