Adorable, disorganized Alycia Matlock is a dedicated history major who keeps her nose buried deeply in her books to notice the scores of men who would gladly make her theirs...until she meets handsome historian Sean Halloran. With his sparkling blue eyes and ready smile, he's a distraction the scholarly Alycia doesn't need...but one she may not be able to resist. No one tells Karla Janowitz what to do-certainly not some fiery artist determined to retrieve his painting from her successful art gallery. Karla knows all about rumoured womanizer Jared Cradowg, and she's determined to stay on top in this sensual game of cat-and-mouse. But if Jared thinks he can seduce Karla into falling in love to get what he wants...he just may be right. Andra Trask has been hurt by love before. Now, vowing to shield herself from further betrayal, she finds it safer to live in her romantic daydreams. So why is she allowing herself to fall for striking professor Paul Hellka, a man of very real passion who makes it clear he won't settle for being her imaginary lover...he wants to make her every fantasy come true.

Someday Soon,
By Miss Marilyn (Chicago, Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Someday Soon (Paperback)
Someday Soon, by New York Times Bestselling Author, Joan Hohl, is actually a combination of three novels in one: Window on Yesterday, Window on Today, and Window on Tomorrow.
Each story revolves around one of three young, intelligent women who attend/ed a Pennsylvania University and are best friends and are/were roommates. The first story, Window on Yesterday, centers on Alycia Matlock, history major, and Sean Halloran, famous historian and History Professor. This, of the three, was the best and most enjoyable. The two characters have undeniable chemistry and a realistic relationship. They share common interests, share meaningful, interesting conversation and actually get to know each other and declare their love for one another before they make love. I was enthralled with their devotion to one another even when crisis arises. They make a complete and believable union, unlike the other two stories. In, Window on Today, art gallery owner Karla Janowitz butts heads with infamous artist Jared Cradowg over a painting of his grandfather that she owns. In order to obtain the painting Jared sets out to seduce Karla by any means possible. He actually states that they will have a hot love affair and in the end he will have the painting. He is arrogant, rude and well, just downright mean. but karla is too captivated with the attraction and arousal that Jared evokes in her to see straight and step back. Most of the time i was screaming, "Just shut up and LEAVE! This guy is an ass and doesn't deserve you!" But she "convinces" herself that she is in control, despite the fact that she turns to mush the second Jared looks at her. Magically overnight, Jared transforms into a sensitive, intelligent man who guides her around the beautiful landscapes and sites in Arizona. She actually describes him as being SHY! I was really confused with the change and his declaration of love. Towards the end misconceptions between the two are cleared and Jared seems like the perfect guy. I appreciated the caring man that Jared turned into and wished he wasn't so downright awful in the beginning of the book. The final book, Window on Tomorrow, confused the heck out of me. Andrea Trask is the utterly beautiful dreamer, and most of the novel she is either dreaming or thinking about her dreams. She lives in California with her loving aunt after graduating from the Pennsylvania university and the rejection from NASA. She, (as all three women were) has only had one lover and serious relationship, (before meeting their soulmates). So, she created a dream lover. Tall, with dark hair and handsome, she looses herself in the comfort of her dreams and the dream lover's arms. For over a year she sees him in dreams and when they finally unite (all the way) as lovers, she is amazed. But then, at a cafe the afternoon following the dream, she sees Mr.DreamLover...only he's real. Flesh and blood male. SHe is amazed, confused, shocked. SHe flees the cafe and returns home to her aunt and hears that her aunt's boyfriend is coming over tonite and bringing a friend. Turns out, this friend is Mr.DreamLover/RealMan/ brilliant earth science profesor Paul Hellka. She acts all flustered and bewildered and Paul asks her out for a beach date, and thus begins their outrageous courtship. Paul is perfect, and i mean perfect. He's extremely smart, a brilliant profesor and all around nice guy. He's healthy, handsome and, never gets mad. Andrea and Paul share shards of meaningless conversation when he describes to her how lovely her body is and she has a full-out orgasm. However, he never even touched her. Paul is evasive and speaks in riddles and never gives a straught out answer to anything. Andrea is confused yet fascinated three quarters of the book until she, of course, realizes she is in love with Paul. Yet, she doesn't know all that much about him. There are unearthly and odd characteristics about him and though kind and passionate, he seems less human the more she gets to know him. I despised the ending when Andrea deserts her loving family and friends to live with her alien boyfriend profesor in his "Homeland." weird.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Not the standard,
By Heather Anne "BellaNuova" (St. Helena, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Someday Soon (Paperback)
I am a fan of Joan Hohl's work but this is way outside her normal release of work. It is completely different stylistically and the tone does not match that of any of her other works. The author does have a note stating that the stories were written early in her career and in the early 1980s but I do not believe that is the problem with the stories. Please be aware if you are a Joan Hohl reader these are very different from her other works.
1.0 out of 5 stars
Really an awful book,
By Idooread "idoolittle" (Portland, Oregon United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Someday Soon (Paperback)
This is the first Joan Hohl book I have read and will most likely be the last. It is the most inane narrative I have ever read. I have read the first two stories and
don't know if I can handle the third but will try. These "college grad" girls are so stupid it is almost impossible to believe they ever went to grade school. So will try to read the end of the book ........ don't think it can get worse but who knows?
