Summary: Very Amusing
Review: "Plum Girl" by Jill Winters has murder, mystery and romance. All three are combined in a very amusing way, making this a fun to read book.Lonnie is a super fun leading lady that I could totally relate to. She went to college, got a degree that is of no use in the real world and is now working as an office temp. She hates her temp assignment, hates her boss, and doesn't even like her boyfriend very much. Her ho-hum job gets interesting when people start dying. A boring office party gets exciting when one of the partners is found dead in a closet. Lonnie takes it upon herself to solve this mystery and enlists the help of her sister and the boy she likes that isn't her boyfriend. I read through this book at lightening speed and then wished that I'd read slower to enjoy it longer. I would highly recommend "Plum Girl" to fans of romance and mystery.

Summary: I Would Highly Recommend this Book
Review: "Plum Girl" made me laugh out loud numerous times. You've got a fantastic lead character in Lonnie Kelly. Lonnie is a girl who got a degree in Feminist Theory and is now working, of course, as a temp. She hates her boss, who doesn't seem to remember her name and is appropriately named "Twit," and her love life isn't all it could be, seeing as a boy other than her boyfriend is the one that makes her heart go pitter pat! The story is kicked into high gear when one of the bosses of the firm she's temping at is found dead at an office party (in the closet, no less). Lonnie and pals set out to find out what really happened. Jill Winters did a fantastic job on this romance/mystery. As I am a HUGE romance fan, I can tell you that this book is not lacking in that department. The mystery is good and will keep you on your toes too. All in all, this was one fun book to read. I will be recommending it to friends and family.

Summary: Four and 3/4 stars
Review: Heroine: Average/Plump Lovely Lonnie Kelley, with her multiple Master's degrees, has finally decided to end her career as a permanent student and start a new one: as a temp at a law firm. Not that any of her degrees are in law, or that her job as assistant to the capricious Beauregard Twit is much of a "career", but at least it's paying off her student loans and gives Lonnie time to decide what she really wants to do with the rest of her life. It also gives her time to figure out how to drop her semi-sorta-long-distance-almost-boyfriend in favor of the hunk from downstairs. And, unfortunately, it gives her time to do some snooping around after one of the firm's partners mysteriously turns up dead at the office party. Can Lonnie find a direction for her life, land the perfect guy, and serve justice without getting herself "terminated" in the process? What worked for me: I don't know what was more fun, reading about Lonnie's yummy love interest or keeping tabs on her life at work. Twit & Bell has the same sort of bizarre goings-on you'd expect at that other infamous Boston law firm, Cage & Fish. Size-wise this story is another case of the heroine being assigned a smallish-sounding dress-size, but the descriptive language leads the reader to picture her as being larger than that. Lonnie loves her junk food, and the poor dear has one of those mothers whose favorite mantra is "Your face is soooo pretty, if only . . " What didn't work for me: I personally didn't have a problem with it, but some die-hard sleuths might be disappointed that the mystery doesn't present itself sooner. Overall: A great read; definitely take this one to the beach with you this Labor Day weekend. Be aware that this book is steamy and does use some coarse language. If you liked "Plum Girl" you might also enjoy The Stephanie Plum mystery series, "Princess Charming", "Infernal Affairs", "Fast Women", "Looking for Laura", or "Lola Carlyle Reveals All".

Summary: Excellent Summer Read
Review: I actually came across this book because someone misplaced it and it caught my eye and I bought it. I am SO glad that I bought this book. It's a GREAT summer read whether at the beach, by the pool, or in a nice air conditioned room. This book has the right mix of romance, mystery, and murder. Normally I don't like books with mystery in it. However, I was so into this book and found myself turning page after page. I couldn't put the book down. If you haven't purchased this book..go go go...what are you waiting for?

Summary: i have a new favorite author
Review: I am adding Jill Winters to my short list of favorites (and she's in good company: Linda Howard, Rachel Gibson, and SEP). PG made me laugh out loud. The characters were so funny and original without being over-the-top, and Dominick was YUMMY. I liked that Lonnie wasn't perfect looking that she had insecurities, but she was not at all wimpy. PG was a great book, I definitely recommend it for a hilarious night's read!
