5.0 out of 5 stars
and now, for Something Different, Dec 26 2009
By Gordon Clason - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stepping Stone (Paperback)
I just finished Stepping Stone by Karin Kallmaker. It's very good as you would expect from her, but it is a little unusual. Most Karin Kallmaker books are straight romance with growth or conflict which plays out during the plot.
I'm not sure what to say about this one. There are elements of angst and depression and pathos and fear. The protagonist meets the love interest at about the same time as a former lover re-enters her life. There is a subplot where the reader is kept in suspense about whether the protagoinst will be able to resist the charms of the former lover, and allow romance to develop with the love interest.
Ms Kallmaker occasionally likes to express the character's confusion or uncertainty by making a scene sketchy or incomplete enough to make the reader feel equally uncertain as to exactly what is going on. It sometimes takes me two or three readings to be certain what has happened. The break-up with the former lover is described in dribbles and pieces and you come away without a complete picture of exactly what happened.
Nevertheless the book is readable, delightful and romantic. As all her books are. It does not have the straight forward drama of Warming Trend, it is much less direct and more convoluted. But it's still gripping, I devoured it in about four hours this afternoon. Everything comes out OK, and everybody lives happily ever after, but how they get there is less direct than with some of her plots. I still loved it.

Another 5 Stars, Jan 13 2010
By C. Pierce - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stepping Stone (Paperback)
She's done it again! Like another reviewer, I found this book going against the typical plot line of Karin's books, but I found it refreshing and enjoyed the change of pace. The story was enjoyable, the main characters interesting and the romance was hot. I enjoyed the book enough to put it my favorite top five Kallmaker books. If your a Karin Kallmaker fan, you'll love this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Totally enjoyable Hollywood tale where the good gals & guys win!!, May 23 2010
By E. B. MULLIGAN "Bronwyn" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stepping Stone (Paperback)
This novel was a sheer pleasure and joy to read. The insights of Hollywood, the location shooting in Spain, the power moves, who the players are and how to become one - this novel was sheer delight.
You can't help rooting for Gail Welles, she has been working a local diner for 3 years in Los Angeles looking for her big break since arriving on her twenty-ninth birthday after a slew of success in her local community theatre. At this point she is willing to take any commercial or bit part to get her foot in the door. That doesn't mean she will brook any disrespect nor that she has lost her fabulous sense of humor.
Indie producer with a string of hits and facing the big Four-0,Selena Ryan has recently been burnt by the actress she opened her heart to only to find out she was used as a means to an end by the sultry starlet Jennifer Lamont (boo-hiss).
Add to the cast of characters Selena's dedicated production staff, hunky thirty-eight year old actor (and all around great guy) Hyde Butler, studio big wigs, hustling actors and actresses and you can't lose!
Loved the Daily Variety like chapter starters loaded with gossip on the goings on in the novel.
So many perfect moments! When Selena gets the one-up on the studio big wigs. When Gail is shopping for clothes for her first big Hollywood function - they go on and on. And the humor is as always spot on.
Winner!
Listmania!
