5.0 out of 5 stars A sassy heroine, a mystery, a gorgeous hero with a Jaguar, January 7, 2004

This review is from: No More Bobs (Paperback)

No More Bobs is not just about a woman who can't find the right man (and for whom all the wrong men just happen to share the same name). It's about a single mother, struggling to make ends meet while pursuing her dream. This is a great book--funny, light, sweet, and compelling. The characters in this book are so unique and well-defined that I never had trouble remembering who they all were and what was going on, in spite of having to put the book down for days at a time because of the holidays (and even losing it for an entire week, at one point). Super reading. I can't wait for more by this author!!

5.0 out of 5 stars No More Bobs in 2004!, December 21, 2003

This review is from: No More Bobs (Paperback)

No More Bobs is a funny and enjoyable look into the life of writer Madison Lawhon, who has a rather Bob-filled dating past. Take it from a Bob, no good can come of that.
Madison's story opens with an appearance on a morning television program with a fat woman who speaks to animals and a voodoo doctor, and swiftly begins to add odd characters. Madison's dating history of toads suddenly means more than we think, as the fun cast begins to interact in this well-written tale.
Cynthia Borris's book should be on everyone's Christmas list this year. If not remember, No More Bobs in 2004! You'll be glad you did. Believe me, I know.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just plain fun!, November 23, 2003

This review is from: No More Bobs (Paperback)

No More Bobs is a fun-filled romp into the life of Madison Lawhon, a single mom with a Bob problem-all the guys she has dated were named Bob and all were less than dream dates. Add to the mix: Jack Graham,a man with an agenda; a cast full of quirky characters; and some weird science that includes an aphrodisiac and mutated frogs and you're in for a good time. All in all, a very enjoyable read.
