Thinking Of You - The Ultimate Escapist Read
Jill Mansell, unlike other writers in the rom-com arena, seems to get better with every book she writes. Thinking of You is her latest offering and proves that it is possible to get better with age!

Ginny Holland, a best selling author if left rattling around in her house on her own after daughter Jem goes to university. Lonely, she advertises her spare room for rent. Instead of a happy roommate, she gets moaning Laurel who is still hung up on her ex-boyfriend. If that wasn’t enough, Ginny finds herself lusting after two men who can only be bad for her. Will Ginny get the man of her dreams, or will he be the one that gets away?

Mansell has a disarming ability to create characters that you already know and that tends to make her books impossible to put down. This book is no different. It is charmingly written, hopelessly funny and will make you forget all of your own troubles as soon as you read the first page.

2008-09-13 sigh....

These books used to be fun, snappy, full of genuine character concerns for the lead, Anita, which did not boil down to simply, sex. They used to have actual plot. God knows I've kept trying, but this could be the one that means I just can't be bothered with Anita Blake anymore. Danse Marcabe was the worst of the recent bunch but this one is just plain dull. Anita used to have a job, there used to be the interest of a mystery to solve. Now it's just wheel on the next sexual partner and LKH simply arranges the rest of the story around it like so much limp set dressing. It saddens me to feel that these books are now just one big Mary-Sue exercise. Perhaps they always were, but at least we got some story for our pains. Blood Noir is just a low rent soap opera with endless sex thrown in. Up to 'Blue Moon', it's worth reading the series. Of the recent ones, only 'Obsidian Buterfly' is worth your time. And these UK book covers are totally and utterly dreadful.
