Good Characters, Some Plot Problems.....,
By
This review is from: Dr. Yes (Mass Market Paperback)
Dr. Yes is the story of Rachel: a modish nose-beringed heroine, who has become a tour guide in Tibet to escape her life in the states. Rachel is a delightful heroine, whose libido and attitude I found quite refreshing in the era of vapid dumb-girl action heroes, at least until the end. I was disappointed that the author felt she had to make "Rachel's personality modish hair a 'defense mechanism.'" Can't a woman just LIKE having pink hair and a nose ring for goodness sake? Why does she have to be 'compensating' for anything? *sigh* And why can't the hero like her for who/what she is without wanting to change her? I felt a bit let down about that plot device.I DID like the Hero, Harrison, however, but felt he needed to grow a bit. I was disappointed he was still the same character throughout the novel and was never really developed well. I would be interested in hearing more about his work, considering he was one of the few male members of the all-female organization. The plot about the Yes drug, meandered and wasn't dealt with sufficiently. Overall, this novel had some great characterization, but I felt a bit let down by the weak ending. I would recommend this novel for those who are looking for a funny romance with a non-traditional heroine.

Dr. Yes -- Not!,
By
This review is from: Dr. Yes (Mass Market Paperback)
After reading the first of the B.L.I.S.S. spy spoofs (From Boardwalk With Love), I was ready for more. Unfortunately I did not get it in Dr. Yes. There was none of the goofy gadgets, fun Bond names, or any real humor. It started as more of a straight spy story as the heroine is enlisted by B.L.I.S.S. to go after a supposedly evil doctor bent on subjugating women.With only two men in the plot, one of them the bad guy, there is no romantic or sexual tension to drive the romance plot along, what little there is of it. We are never really shown that the bad guy, Dr. Archer, is really as bad as he was made out to be by B.L.I.S.S. As for the romance, there really isn't any, although two characters start to get up to a little sexual shenanigans somewhere after page 200. The end plot resolution was weak and there was never any real peril from the bad guy. This one started like a straight spy novel, not a romance or a spoof, and then proceeded to a very weak and unfulfilling finish. B.L.I.S.S. is a good series, but I think this one was just unclear on the concept.

I Say Yes,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dr. Yes (Mass Market Paperback)
Dr Yes is the second in the B.L.I.S.S. series of spy spoofs and I found it a fascinating read. All of the author's usual self-deprecating humor was there in her characters (making them very sympathetic and understandable) but on top of that the story offered a wonderful tour of a part of the world I will never be brave enough to explore on my own. I enjoyed it very much.
