"Treat Her Right" Book Review

Treat Her Right by Lori Foster reminded me of the Marla Singer-Narrator Jack relationship of Fight Club.  In Treat Her Right, single –dad Zack is an average all-American man who becomes captivated by his kooky neighbor Wynn.  Wynn is arrogant in a beautiful way—she lets her emotions get the best of her.   She’s large and has messy hair, but Zack can’t help his attraction toward her.  It sort of repulses him that he finds her beautiful.  It’s almost like how in Fight Club how Jack can’t help but dwell on Marla Singer.  Both Jack and Zack become fixated by women they want to dislike. 

This story was funny and a quick read.

Caught in the Act Book Review

Lori Foster's Caught in the Act is about an undercover cop, Mick, who falls in love with a suspense writer, Delilah. He's been watching her pass his favorite cafe and when he finally gets the courage to approach her, some jerk tried to shoot her.  Mick took a bullet for her which lead to Delilah kissing him.  The writing style was pretty good, everything was described beautifully and really painted itself in my mind.  I like how their love is so true, but I didn't like how they fell in love fast -- a little too fast for my taste.  I'd have preferred if their love started off small or unnoticed and then slowly grew.  I also didn't like how Delilah goes on like being a published writer isn't a big deal.  She is a bit of an enigma.  I remember the noting in my eBook that she was a sexy version of Annie Wilkes (the enigma from Misery).  Delilah's delicate and feminine, but she's a sucker for danger.  Overall, I give this story 3.5 out of 5.

The Secret Life of Bryan Book Review

Lori Foster's novel the Secret Life of Bryan is a modern romance between two people pretending to be things they're not. A bounty hunter disguised as a preacher falls for a woman of high society who's pretending to be a hooker.  This novel is funny and so real.  It made me think about the problems within a community.  We mostly think about the world at large because it's just so mainstream, but overlook the problems close by because they've become our norms.  This novel is so well-written and a quick read.  I finished it within five days.  4.5 out of 5 stars!
