[.ca] Magnolia Moon (ISBN 0743457439)

To the moon Alice is ditto'd here, people! Yuck...:
If you like predictable and boring then MAGNOLIA MOON is definately the book for you. "Mcquire" fans might like this one, but I sure didn't. I was disappointed in a very big way! This was my first and last JOANN ROSS book!

To the Moon is Right!:
I have heard that there is software out there for romance authors to use that basically writes the book for them. Didn't believe it when I heard it, but after reading this book by Ross, I believe it! I couldn't even finish it, it was so predictable and just plain boring. This was my first and last book by this author. I'm sticking with Nora Roberts and others of her caliber.

CAN'T WAIT FOR JOSH'S STORY:
This was my favorite of the trilogy. There were so many layers to Nate & Regan, I loved discovering them. I think Nate was very dark and although appeared to be very open, was actually the opposite making him sexier and more intriguing than his brothers.

A bit of a letdown:
I loved the first two books in this trilogy. The only reason I rated this a four instead of a three was due to the updates on the characters from the first book. This book was somewhat choppy and I really didn't see what the attraction was between the two leads. It's just as well this was the last in the series.

A Pleasent Read But Not Over The Moon:
Although I liked the first two books in this series this installment left me a little let down. I think that this was due in large part because of the actual characters. Nate Callahan is a ladies man. The reader will be aware of this trait if you have read the previous two books in the series. He was also very likable which is why I feel that his pairing with sarcastic, acid tongue, tough as nails I need to prove myself Regan Hart was a mismatch in my opinion. Although many may find a strong willed heroine enjoyable I found her to be too abrasive and unlikeable. As a result I did not find the romance as interesting as I found the mystery surrounding Regan's mother's death. This book was saved by my opinion by the Callahan brother's and other character's that we have been introduced to throughout the trilogy. If you have not read the previous titles in this series, do yourself a favor and get them. They are worth the time it takes to read them.
