Satisfaction

This is the first book I have read of Marianne Stillings and I enjoyed it so much, I have already ordered 2 more. She has likable characters and mixes fun, romance and drama so a reader can run the whole gambit of emotions and feel satisfied at the ending. All in all a very good read and I will keep my eye on her other books. I put Marianne Stillings in the same category as some of my other favorite authors, Nancy Warren, Amey Garvey, Susan Donavon, Erin McCarthy, Susan Andersen, Christie Craig & Lori Foster. They all write books that are hard to put down and easy to get lost in when you need a break in your day.

They just get better and better.....now I have wait till fall for the next book !

Ethan is PI who is hired to investiage strange mixs-up with Georgie cooking show. As the mystery unfolds, Georgie and Ethan fight and fall in lust with each other...laugh out loud moments! I actually did not have this mystery solved until almost the end - lots of people to suspect! I love Ethan edgy personality - a great book, Enjoy! Now I have to wait until September for the last of the Darling Detective Trilogy. Here is the list of trilogy Arousing Suspicions(1), Satisfaction(2) and Killer Charms (3~due out September 2008). I would also recommended; Spirited Away by Cindy Miles, Abby Cooper, Psychic Eye by Victoria Laurie and The Remains of the Dead: A Ghost Dusters Mystery by Wendy Roberts.

Satisfying Satisfaction!

I bought this book on a whim and I am so glad I did. I am an avid romance reader and this is one of the best books I have read in awhile. It was full of everything you want in a romance - a good storyline, characters you just fall in love with, and some hot and heavy romance. Not only was it chock full of the romance, but I was laughing out loud quite a few times, which is rare. Quite worth the money!

Ethan Darling is the hero in this light and rousingly sexy romp by Marianne Stillings. The hottest private eye around, Ethan has met his match in Feng Shui guru Georgiana Mundy. Private investigator Ethan Darling has been called to the local television station by the station manager. It seems that the local sweetheart and cooking show host Georgie Mundy has been having a bit of set trouble. Someone is sabotaging her ingredients and Ethan has been given the task of finding the culprit. It would help matters if the pretty in pink vision that stumbles into his arms and steps on his feet was anyone other than the woman he is assigned to. He can't stop thinking about her eyes and how she smells. He has to get her out of his head because if Ethan knows one thing about himself it's that he doesn't do relationships and he never falls in love. Evidently his heart isn't listening to that rule. Georgie has a secret. Several in fact. And keeping her secrets is important. Sure, someone is messing with her sets, and quite honestly, Georgie doesn't know why. She has bigger fish to hide from - namely her ex boyfriend and nemesis, Paul Corcoran. Paul can't find out what Georgie has carefully kept secreted away in another city. Now if she can just get Ethan Darling to leave her alone and stop following her around. Although, if Georgie were to be honest, Ethan does kiss pretty well and he isn't a hardship on the eyes. It's just too bad she doesn't need him. Or does she? Ethan and Georgie agree to disagree on her protection. Mishaps follow them around but there is one thing for certain. Each is falling for the other and if they can just let themselves forget about their differences for a little while, they might find out they are more compatible than they realize. Marianne Stillings has me totally and completely hooked on her writing. She has the uncanny ability to take serious issues and suspenseful storylines and fill them with fun and comedy and just plain sassy situations. SATISFACTION is this type of novel. Ethan's first scene with Georgiana is a comedy of errors just waiting to happen and more than once I laughed out loud at their antics. Both characters are afraid of relationships and vulnerability, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching them fall in love. SATISFACTION was just an all around perfect read for me. It made me laugh, I got teary eyed, and I swooned at Ethan's manliness. Not a bad gig for a book reviewer! SATISFACTION released from Avon Books in November 2007. While it visits characters from her previous release, AROUSING SUSPICIONS, this book can be completely read alone. Don't miss it!
