I have been waiting for this book since I read the first one and it was well worth the wait! I love the characters in this book...they are likeable and believable. The manner in which the author describes each character, location and scenery is wonderful...I can see it, feel it and smell it! Great romance and mystery. Can not wait for the third one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hooray for a believable sequel! May 4, 2012

I liked this book as much as the first! All to often I feel ever so slightly let down by a sequel, as if the author has thrown everything at the first book and left their main character without enough room to grow further. That is emphatically not the case here!

Red's new relationship is progressing. As with every (real) relationship there are fights, jealousy and strong emotions, some of which are scary for the people involved. I said it in my review of the first book and I will say it again, thank you Kathy for giving the world a believable heroine! At times I was physically moved to laughter, tears or smiles. This book is perfect for a lazy evening, perhaps with a little glass / cup / mug of your favourite beverage for company. As Red has developed (and is still developing) as a person she is beginning to enjoy life again, and this is reflected in the comparative liveliness of the plot, especially when compared to the first book. But make no mistake there are still very real and serious undertones at work which keep the work believable. Again the plot is realistic, a situation you may meet in real life (jealous wife, straying husband, remorse and revenge), and I appreciate that immensely. Personally I loved Mac being reincarnated as a dog. I can see how it would tax some people, but in the context of this book it feels perfectly natural. My advice, just leave your preconceptions at the door and enjoy the show! The thread that runs throughout the book is friendship. In the book, as in real life, friends are important and a natural part of everyday life. Nothing about these friendships feels contrived, and I like the fact that they are irrespective of age, gender, disability or sexuality. In other words a friend set true to life!

5.0 out of 5 stars Red's Attitude is Fun! May 2, 2012

Red is an Attitude: Red Mojo Mama #2

Kathy Lynn Hall

In this book Joe takes Red on a cruise, pet friendly, of course, so they could take the new puppy Mac along. Now, we know Red... yes, she finds all kinds of trouble along the way. Trouble she thought was long gone. She also makes new friends along the way and gets a new purpose for her life.

First we have Barbie with her Sugar Daddy, then the Sugar Daddy's wife shows up. Okay, Barbie has a name, Cindi, is it any better? Henry has been married to Agatha for many years, and now that she is on board he is determined to get her back, he realizes the mistake he made.

Red gets Agatha her own room, and includes her in their on board group, which is made of their dinner partners. She offers her an empty trailer back at The Springs to get back on her feet while making a decision regarding Henry. Agatha takes to Evelyn and redoes her hair and nails then she accepts Red's offer. Oh, did I forget to mention that Bob and Evelyn came on the cruise with Joe and her?

While on the cruise twice it seems that someone is trying to hurt Red, but both times get explained away.

Once back in Nuggetville, Agatha gets an admirer almost immediately. And starts going out with him. Well, as Red put it, Henry wasn't around, so yes, they were separated.

When Agatha and Red go out one day it seems they are being followed, so Red goes to the police, the checks into it and find the car was a rental, it has since been returned, so they let the matter drop. Until Agatha sees the young men while she is out with Blake one night and they make an off handed threat. Come to find out it is Agatha and Henry's nephew and she calls Henry and tells him to stop it or she will never come home.

Then the next day her nephew and friend save her and Red from a car that tries to run them down.

It all works out in the end, with lots of laughter, a few possible tears and a couple tense moments. Red's past with the city council comes back to haunt her.

A delightful 5 stars of fun. It was a great read, a must if you read the first with the third on its way out. What oh what can Red get into in this next one? Small town life was never so exciting.
