My review


rating: 4 of 5 stars
I was surprised how much I enjoyed this book. Main character returns to her hometown for the funeral of her family's housekeeper. Drama ensues with the rekindling of a disfuntional love affair. Justice prevailed.

Fun in the Sun



The family headed south last week to visit Jill & Nathan. We golfed Thursday at Shandin Golf Course and Friday at Indian Hills. We were all rusty, to say the least. Saturday, we drove to Newport and had a fun lunch at Mutt Lynch's, walked along the beach and went to Saddleback Church for afternoon service. Sunday was a fun, crowded day at Disneyland and California Adventure before taking the boys to the airport to head back to Portland. I got to stay an extra day and golf at PGA West. More to come...

Just like all the rest of the "Slightly" books, addicting, but silly. If you like romance, these are fun and predictable.

The Gate House - Nelson DeMille (audiobook)

The Gate House The Gate House by Nelson DeMille


My review


rating: 4 of 5 stars
I loved this book. It's a sequel to one of my other favorites, The Gold Coast. The premise is the relationship between an aristocratic Long Island attorney, his wife and the mafia. I love the main character's inner dialogue. His thoughts are terrifically sarcastic just before speaking. Highly recommended, but read Gold Coast first.
