Last Boyfriend

The Last Boyfriend (Inn BoonsBoro, #2)The Last Boyfriend by Nora Roberts
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

2nd book in the Boonsboro Trilogy, and I have to say I enjoyed the first book much more. I felt that the high point of the book was reached halfway through, and I didn't know what there was left to cover for the rest of the book. Good characters, but weak plot, in my opinion. First book had more drama and mystery. Second book felt like a weak attempt to match the first book. I will finish the series out of curiosity. Still enjoy her books.

Crystal Gardens

Crystal Gardens (Ladies of Lantern Street, #1)Crystal Gardens by Amanda Quick
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Kind of disappointed in this book. I'm a big fan of Amanda Quick/Jayne Anne Krentz/Jayne Castle, but there was something lacking in this book. I wasn't surprised or intrigued by the plot, and it didn't have the punch that so many of her other Amanda Quick books have. I'm not sure if it's because I'm tired of the Arcane trilogy spin-offs, or if something has changed in her writing. She is a good author, I just wasn't invested in this book. I will still finish the series, but I'm hoping she focuses in another direction soon.
