Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Psychic wanderer Daria Marshall tries to ignore the dead people who follow her around everywhere—and she refuses to settle down anywhere for very long. When she visits her sister in New York City, she ends up in Astoria, where she encounters Ralph Chickalini, a lifelong Astorian and member of a large Italian family. Chickalini is mourning the loss of his father, but not the end of his recent ill-advised engagement. Their immediate attraction is tempered by his sadness and her fear of settling down, yet Daria yearns for family and stability and Ralph needs to strike out and become independent of his support system. The presence of the father's ghost adds a nice touch to the story without being too schmaltzy. The characters are fairly well drawn, and Markham (Bride Needs Groom) captures the smalltown/big city contrast of the Queens neighborhood perfectly, with local touches that really make the atmosphere come alive. (July)

Love her books...BUT..., Aug 19 2008
By Cordelia Ryan "Cordy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: That's Amore (Mass Market Paperback)
I love her books, but this writing in the present tense MAKES ME CRAZY! The entire time I'm reading the book I am translating it into the past tense, as in "They seem so comfortable together, she notes" instantly becomes in my head "They seemed so comfortable together, she noted." Picky? Maybe, but with her extreme writing talent, I just wish she would write NORMALLY, LOL... Aside from that (which seems to be a biggie for me) I really enjoy her books, whether they are written under her own name or a pseudonym. I'll continue buying them and just hope she eventually switches over to writing them to my specifications, hahaha...

Chickalini strikes again., July 1 2008
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: That's Amore (Mass Market Paperback)
As always, Wendy Markham created another cute romance story with more of the Chickalini characters. It's been a while since I've read another Chickalini romance, so I dont remember the characters all too well. Markham did a good job of refreshing my memory with some things that happened previously. I cant wait to read more from this author!

Contemporary Romance with Psychic Flair, Mar 30 2009
By Linda Edwards - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: That's Amore (Mass Market Paperback)
Daria's ability to "see" is quite entertaining, especially when it's Ralphie's father. How could Daria not fall in love with Ralphie after his father's influence on her from the beyond? Not only that, but the warmth of the Chickalini family surely would want to make anyone belong to a loving family like that! Great romantic read.
Listmania!
