Summary: Not as funny as the reviews make it seem
Review: After reading several reviews, I tore into it the minute it arrived. I expected laugh-out-loud reactions to this book ("hilarious read" etc). Did not happen. It was passable. The characters were rote, forced... the plot predictable. The "action" non-existent. I swore I would gag if I read one more comment about "the Academy" and the heroine's "duty." She's a Fed guarding a JKFJr clone. We get it! It had amusing parts. Put together, it did not amount to a great read.

Summary: Romeo falls flat....
Review: I love romance - I read everything from those bodice-ripping historical pieces to Harlequins to bestsellers Steele and Krantz....but I could not get through this book. Since I have become a "grown-up" I have little time to indulge my love of reading so I have very little patience if I feel a book is a waste of time. I took it on a train trip thinking this would be a great way to pass some time stuck in a small space but I was so bored that I would up reading the first 150 pages and then skipping to the last 30 or so. I totally didn't feel the chemistry between the characters and what little character development there was felt forced and shallow. I wound up hoping something exciting would happen like Kate getting shot so her stupid pride and irresponsible whining/foot stomping would end at least while she recovered in a hospital somewhere. The entire situation they were put in was so unrealistic I couldn't get into the story. The author spends so much time trying to set the scene and whip up a rapport between Alex and Kate that the plot moves like molasses and I lost interest. This book could have been 150 pages shorter and thus much better. Anyone interested in it contact me I will will GIVE it to you. In complete fairness I have read worse...but not much.

Summary: Reinventing Romeo
Review: I love romance novels but THIS ONE is one of the best I have ever read! The plot is so fresh, so engaging! I really couldn't put it down. Thank you Connie Lane for one of the most enjoyable books I have ever read! I look forward to your next book. Don't make us wait too long!!!

Summary: Lighten up, folks
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed Reinventing Romeo, both for its characters and zany plot twists. The story and tone reminded me of those wonderful madcap romantic comedies of the thirties and forties, and I appreciated Lane's humorous and sometimes naughty love affair with Cleveland. I'm looking forward to more.

Summary: SWEET, FUNNY AND ROMANTIC!!
Review: I usually like books with a bit more "spice" in them if I am reading romance. However, I have to tell you this one did not need it. The storyline was funny, interesting and kept you on the edge of your seat wondering what was going to happen next. I absolutly loved the characters, Kate and Alex. There is some sex in the book but it leaves alot to the imagination, which in itself is okay because the book doesn't need it all the time to make you want to keep reading it.
Highly recommend if you like good old fashioned boy meets girl romance! You won't be disappointed!

Summary: A disappointment
Review: I was sorely disappointed in this book, expecting something more after reading several reviews. I found it to be choppy, with poorly developed characters thrown into contrived situations. The "hero" sporadically swung between spoiled child stubbornlly wielding his power, with no concern for his own life, to sensitive man learning to enjoy the simpler things in life in forced comedic situations. No matter how good-looking the author wrote him to be, I just couldn't find him attractive. The "heroine" was equally unlikeable.
