Summary: Something Missing
Review: This romance features a large cast of characters including Jenny, recovering from the death of her lover, Rita, recovering from the death of her parents, and Pam, recovering from leaving her lover. Two of these women get together but only after the other seduces one of them.

Sorting the characters out is, initially, difficult. I couldn't figure out why until I realized that they are, essentially, interchangeable. Beyond that, there isn't much of a story line.

Despite the book's shortcomings, I enjoyed the author's writing, and wish she'd try a more difficult plot in one of her future books. I'll try her other books in case this was just a fluke, but I hope she tries to challenge herself. Her locale descriptions are wonderfully drawn - so much so that you'll be hunting for a sweater as fall turns into winter in the book even if you're sitting in 100 degree weather.

Summary: Light enjoyable read
Review: This was my first JC book. It was light and easy reading. The intimate moments between her characters were sketchy and left plenty to ones imagination. Not a get "hot and bothered" kind of read but enjoyable just the same.
