Summary: A Wonderful Book!!
Review: Spanish Disco is the Red Dress Ink book that I've been waiting for! This book contains all of the elements that an uber-chick novel needs to be a true power read: an angst-ridden singleton, an understanding boss, a wise old mentor, a power job, a love triangle, trans-atlantic cyber affair, and an island paradise setting. Don't let the kitschy cover fool you...Spanish Disco is a for real read.So, if you've been reading and enjoying the Red Dress Ink series, but feel like some of the plots and characters fall a bit short, then this book will quench your thirst for a fun, yet brilliant chick novel.

Summary: Timeline?
Review: The book was published in 2003. For the sake of argument, let's suppose it was written in 2000. 2000 minus 33 (or 34, depending on the page you're on) is 1967. Had she been in Studio 54 during it's hey-day, she would have been AT MOST 12. Now, the book could not possibly take place in 1993, as Instant Messenger was not the popular medium for contact friends/loved ones that it is today. Let us also look at Johnny Acid. Punk Rock, eh? To have legally married him (19 to enter into legal contracts) the EARLIEST she could have married this 'punker' would have been 1986. All I have to say is that by the time 86 rolled around, 'punk' was a Halloween Costume for third graders...and a passe one at that. One more small detail...Maria is Mexican...not Spanish. I will say this...it's a quick read and it kept me in stitches. Our entire lunch table cannot wait to finish the last 30 pages.

Review: This book is my favorite Chick Lit book ever because it was different. It was super funny, very witty, and I couldn't put it down until the last page and the surprise ending, which I did not guess. This is the best book Red Dress has ever done!!!

Summary: RDI's Best Yet
Review: This book was fantastic. Three cheers for Orloff! I took a star away because the dating of it was off -- if Cassie's in her very early 30s I don't think she was a Studio 56 kid. But I could be wrong and this detail didn't detract from the great story.

Summary: Great story
Review: This should be a stand alone book and not part of the Red Dress brigade. This author's voice is much stronger and better than anything the line had produced before or since. The heroine is strong -- beyond strong -- she's a sterling [witch]. But, she's got her good points and you completely sympathize with her and everything she's going through. Forget about the sappy, self-centered RDI heroines and go for Cassie. The author has written a great, quick, quirky, funny, entertaining read and I look forward to more from her.

Summary: I loved this!
Review: This was such an enjoyable book to read! I think a lot of women can relate to Cassie, or might want to be more like her! She definitley speaks her mind, and don't we all want to do that sometimes? It's one of those books you just want to read in one sitting! I did! On a car ride from FL to VA, -- I had it finished by SC!!!

Summary: enjoyable contemporary romance
Review: Though West Side Publishing book editor Cassie Hayes now lives in Boca Raton, Florida, she has never shredded her New York City lifestyle, which means coffee at any hour. In the case of her top novelist, Michael Pearton that could mean three in the morning her time as he calls her from England whenever he suffers writer's block or needs phone sex. Cassie likes this relationship because she fears an in the flesh coupling. Pulitzer Prize winning recluse Roland Riggs agrees to allow West Side to publish his first work since he won the Pulitzer for Simple Simon decades ago. His condition is that the editor resides in his remote home to teach him how to disco dance and court a woman because he is in love for the first since his wife was murdered. Cassie has the assignment that makes her stomach grind not so much because of the spicy food served or that she will be hustling her butt off, but because relationships are not her thing. Yet when Michael becomes extremely jealous, as he loves his Floridian based editor, she begins to reconsider what life is all about encouraged by Roland's struggle to regain his. SPANISH DISCO is an enjoyable contemporary romance that plays out on several levels as the cast consists of walking wounded souls. Though the tale evolves around gun shy Cassie, readers also obtain a reasonably deep look inside the souls of Roland, Maria (housekeeper and the love of his life), and Michael. Fans of dramas with a dysfunctional relationship theme as its core will want to disco with Erica Orloff's romantic romp. Harriet Klausner

Review: What a great read! I really liked Cassie's spunky sprit. The writer is very good at describing Cassie's relationships, especially with her Dad and Lou
