4.0 out of 5 stars
Unforgettable characters, August 20, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Beckett's Cinderella (Silhouette Desire) (Mass Market Paperback)
If you're looking for a fast, sexy sit-com, this isn't it. What I love about Browning's books is her people. They draw you in until you really care what happens to them, even the villains. I love Betty Neels books for the same reason--I never finish a Browning without feeling that nice, warm glow of being with people I care about. Some are better than others. I'd rate this one a solid 4.

This book warmed my heart., September 3, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Beckett's Cinderella (Silhouette Desire) (Mass Market Paperback)
It's a warm fuzzy romance, even if the cover and title are a little misleading. I thoroughly enjoyed Browning's character development...not just of Liza & Beckett, but her Uncle Fred and his "PawPaw". Liza's troubled past and slapstick moves make her even more attractive as a heroine. I'm looking forward to the Harlequin historical novel & future Desire in this series.

It's okay, October 28, 2002
This review is from: Beckett's Cinderella (Silhouette Desire) (Mass Market Paperback)
It's an okay book. If you have some time on your hands, you might give it a try. It really didn't interest me. Romance books are cool sometime, but other romance books are horrible. Why do all romance books have the chick being 'offish' or snotty and why do all romance books end the same way? The guy always gets the chick. I guess it wouldn't be considered a romance book if the guy didn't get the chick, but it's always the same formula. They could've made it seem more like real life. I gave this book 3 strikes. Strike 1 was reading the word 'PawPaw' so many times. First off, I hate that word. Say grandpa. PawPaw sounds like something a 6 year old kid would say if they didn't know how to say grandpa. Argh! It drives me nuts. Strike 2 was the typical sex scenes. The guy never notices if the chick has beautiful eyes or whatever. In books they always notice the [breats] first. Strike 3 was the whole formula I explained towards the top about the chick being offish and the guy never gives up. I'm not a guy, but if I was a guy I would totally forget about the chick if she had an attitude problem. Only in romance books. Only in romance books.
