Who Puts Out the Fire?



Product DetailsHave you ever felt frustrated!  Life not going your way?    Have I got a story for you!    In Slow Burn the fifth novel in the Buchanan series we Kate MacKenna and her sisters.

Synopsis:

  It all started with the wonder bra!   Kate was on her way to an exhibit when an explosion occurs.   She wakes to find   paramedics and policemen looking her over.   Kate brushes off the explosion as nothing more than bad luck.  She starts to put it behind her when asked to come to Boston by her friend Jordan Buchanan.   Kate meets up again with the Buchanan family who she knows well, and one in particular brother Dylan Buchanan.   After one night together she leave quickly but her luck doesn’t change.  Who is out to harm Kate?  Will she and Dylan hook up?

My Thoughts:

If you are excitedly waiting for Julie’s next novel.  Then I suggest you either revisit Slow Burn or read it for the first.  I happened to be able to listen to the audiobook this time around.  I have listened to others on audio that are by Julie Garwood and this one is the best!  I thought the reader did a great job!

Ms. Garwood tells stories with much humor and wonderful plot.    She employs a form irony which pokes fun at her characters which creates an entertaining read. 
One side note if you have followed her other novels then you will know that they relate back to one another. 

Rating:

4.5/5

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries? My own take, as a reader, is that if I am going to spend hours reading a novel, hanging out with cha...
