Sweet Love by Sarah Strohmeyer

The story of a single mom in her 40s, her reunion with the long lost love of her teenage years and her relationship with her mother combined with lots of talk of scrumptiously delicious desserts and some Shakespearean references. Sound interesting, doesn't it? I thought so, too. Unfortunately, the characters seemed one-dimensional and I had a hard time coming to care about them. The plot also seemed contrived and even filled with extraneous characters in some points. The best part was the detailed discussions of all the amazing desserts. All this aside, I stuck with it until the end, as I always seem to, and thought it wrapped up "sweetly".

Rules of Deception by Christopher Reich

An Audiobook Review

This was read by Paul Michael who was an excelelnt reader. This book had it all: great locals, primarily in Switzerland, suspenseful story with many twists and turns. I loved that I was not able to figure out the plot twists. Definitely a "pageturner." As the story unfolded I was always with the protagnoist, never discovering anything until he did.
