4.0 out of 5 stars Just simply have to read it!!!, May 20 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Simply scandalous (Paperback)

This book is just simply one of those books you just have to pick up. Especially is you are into romance novels. You can't get enough of girl meets boy, girl falls in love with boy! I sure know that I love reading about women getting swept off their feet. If that is your case, then this is the book for you. This book is about the ever so desirable man named Logan, who is a respectable lawyer. And the girl next door, Catherine. Who was brought up in not such an upperclass living style. She is a caterer for one of Logan's dad's parties, which is where Logan first lays eyes on her. He and she get to talking and he won't take no for an answer. Eventually they make it back to his house, and I don't think I need to say much more ( If you know what I mean). They go through a roller coaster of obstacles, in which Cat can't make up her mind if this is the guy for her (because they come from two different backgrounds). But Logan steps up and becomes a man and tells his dad whos who. Does Cat see it Logans way and think they are destined to be together or does she go with her gut feeling that this is just wrong? To find out you just have to pick up this book, I loved it and I know you will to!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Something Missing, Mar 12 2004

By	K. A. Stevenson "WIAPilot" (Tucson) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Simply Scandalous (Mass Market Paperback)

I bought the three books of this trilogy all at one time. I'm sorry, but I wish that I had read at least one before I bought all of them. I could hardly read through parts of these books because they were so trite.

There were passages where Carly Phillips really grabbed my attention with her style. But the plots were just so boring. Also there were more sexual passages than I felt it needed. I felt it almost concentrated more on the sexual passages(for frustrated housewives?) rather than using the sex scenes to enhance the romance.

I don't know. Maybe it is just me. This was the kind of book I probably could have enjoyed in maybe my very early 20's.

If you are a mature woman (over 35) who has any semblance of depth - pass on this trio.

4.0 out of 5 stars Light Quick Read, Jan 17 2004

By	Tanya L. Schaub "TSchlaack" (Livermore, Maine USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Simply Scandalous (Mass Market Paperback)

The back of this book is a bit misleading about what the romance is about. What the real basis for the story is that Grandma thinks her grandchildren need fun and loving life partners and they are looking in the wrong places. As with most of Phillips books you learn a lot about what the characters are thinking and how many of us badly react to things and then suddenly just go with them. Her writing takes on a feeling of true life (ok so the girl always gets the really great guy but, what do you expect this is a romance book after all).

This story revolves around Logan who is a wildly successful D.A. and Catherine who is a caterer with some skeletons in her family closet. Can they get together, and in the process can they thwart Logan's father's plans for his political career. Especially since Logan doesn't want a career?

Great quick read.
