4.0 out of 5 stars Good emotional romance, November 20, 2008

This review is from: Unravel Me (Berkley Sensation) (Mass Market Paperback)

I enjoyed Unravel Me more than How to Knit a Wild Bikini, but it might be because these are not typical Ridgway romances. These are more graphic in the sex scenes, and not so innocent heroines. Once I got past the thought that this was not going to be like her previous books, I enjoyed it much more. I found I had a hard time putting this book down. It was an emotional read with complex characters. The heroines and heroes have Ridgway's trademark great chemistry. Noah is the strong, protective hero and his soulmate is strong, but vulnerable. Very likable. Another reviewer commented on the older heroine "doing" the younger man, but she was actually only 33 and Noah was 30. Not much age difference, really.

This book set up the next book or two very well and I'm more anxious to read Cassandra and Gabe's story as Gabe has much to overcome to be the man Cassandra can give her heart to. It promises to be a heart-wrencher.

This is a very enjoyable series and I remain a big Christie Ridgway fan.

This review is from: Unravel Me (Berkley Sensation) (Mass Market Paperback)

The series is about 3 sisters all from the same sperm donor find each and start to grow as a family - the 1st novel was How to Knit a Wild Bikini. In this novel it's the story of Juliet a widow in her early 30's who was married to older General. Noah worked for the General but now a year after the General's death he is started to act on his feelings for Juliet. I loved the secondary stories of sisters and evil step-daughter of Juliet's , Marlys. Looking forward to the next novel in this series Dirty Sexy Knitting.

4.0 out of 5 stars entertaining contemporary romance, November 4, 2008

(#1 Hall OF FAME REVIEWER)    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Unravel Me (Berkley Sensation) (Mass Market Paperback)

Being the widow of an US Army General usually means respect for the surviving woman, but in the case of Juliet Weston she receives none of that even from the tight knit military families. Instead the media condemns her for marrying a much older man while the military and his family scorn her as a gold-digger.

Having enough of the ridicule that she does not deserve, Juliet flees to her home in Malibu where she can grieve her loss without the nasty spins of the pundits or family. Her only companion is her late husband's trusted aide, Noah. However, she begins to fall for Noah at the same time she learns she has two sisters that she never knew existed.

UNRAVEL ME is an entertaining contemporary romance starring a fascinating lead couple who each has doubts about falling in love with the other out of respect for her deceased husband who was his superior officer; adding to their respective discomfit both knows the timing is bad as she grieves her loss. The newly discovered sisters' subplot enhances a fine tale that fans of Christie Ridgeway will enjoy while anticipating two more "Malibu and Ewe" novels to follow.
