Customer Reviews

Excellent Duets Duo

Both of the stories in this book were well-written and funny. The characters are quirky, humorous, and vulnerable. True love, of course, prevails. It's a book definitely worth reading.Jill Shalvis' "New And...Improved" took the tried and true formula of a nondescript female scientist getting a makeover and a whole new outlook on life, and made it fun and believable. The sexual tension was done well, and so was the everyday interaction of the characters. The combination of lust, love, and humor was handled deftly.Jennifer LaBrecque's "Andrew In Excess" just confirmed my enjoyment of her books. It took the ticking-body-clock theme and presented it with believable characters. It was nice to have the female protagonist be a quirky yet not ditzy person, one who knew her own mind and went after what she wanted. It was interesting to watch the "stuffed-shirt" lawyer-type reveal more and more layers of his character that didn't fit the stereotype. Some of the scenes in this book were laugh-out-loud funny. It's a great romantic comedy.

Andrew in Excess is Excessively Wonderful!

ANDREW IN EXCESS is one of the funniest books I've read in a long time. The heroine, Kat, is a delight from page one, with her quirks and her little dog Toto. And Andrew is fabulous! Watching Kat de-starch the stuffy Andrew had me laughing out loud. Every character, from Kat and Andrew, to the secondary characters are well-drawn and multi-dimensional. I cannot wait for another romantic comedy from the very talented Ms. LaBrecque!
