5.0 out of 5 stars You can't have too much fun with this book!, April 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Monday Man (Harlequin Love and Laugher) (Paperback)

MONDAY MAN is a smoothly-written book and a quick read. This sweet romance is full of clever humor. I laughed out loud more than once. And the hero, Nick Chamberlin, is impossible to resist. Ms. Gabriel does a great job combining tall, dark and brooding with soft-hearted vulnerability.

3.0 out of 5 stars I liked it., January 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Monday Man (Harlequin Love and Laugher) (Paperback)

Based on the Amazon system, 5 stars for "Love", 4 stars for "Great" and 3 for "Like", I liked this book.

It was just a bit too fluffy for me. Our hero and heroine had a great set-up, a good chance to get to know each other and it felt wasted in the need to wrap up the mystery. The time that Nick and Lucy spent together was mostly concentrated on the dilemma that originally brought them together, not on getting to know each other. Thus, by the time I reached the end of the book, Nick and Lucy were together forever and I was left wondering why. They never had "The Sex", they barely had the intimate talks. The bachelor auction that is emblazed on the cover seems like it was slipped in there as a hook, not as a necessary part of the story.

But, there are good things about this book. I enjoyed Ms. Gabriel's characterization. Love the fact that our hero has something interesting in his past, and Ms. Gabriel handled it well. I enjoyed the humor throughout the book, some situational, some laced in the secondary characters.

This book won't make my keeper pile, but I'll give it away so others can enjoy it.

Yes, I gave it 5 stars. No, it isn't sophisticated prose, but it never was meant to be. As Harlequin Romances go, this is a definite winner. Sweet, cute, amusing, entertaining. Not too smarmy, just sweet and romantic. I really enjoyed it.
