I’m reading Wallflower in Bloom by Claire Cook:
My brother
was dazzling, as usual. “Do. You. Have. Passion?” he roared. His white
teeth gleamed. His elegant hands beckoned. His bedroom eyes twinkled.
The sold-out mostly female audience drooled.
I love that each summer brings a new book from
Claire Cook. I’ve read all but one of her books and have really enjoyed
them all. She tends to have strong leading female characters and has
explored some really interesting jobs.
Wallflower in Bloom one is pretty good so far, especially since one of my favorite shows on TV these days is Dancing With the Stars! How does this tie in? You’ll have to read the book (or my review once it’s up) to find out.
I just got this one for my Sparky…I'll be reading it next week. Thanks for sharing…and for visiting my blog.
It was really cute!!!
This sounds good. I like Dancing with the Stars too and will be looking for your review to see how it ties in. Happy reading!
I love Dancing with the Stars and am psyched for the All-Star cast next season. The book was good, too!
Not an author I am familiar with, but definitely an interesting beginning. Each book stands alone, not part of a series?
Yes, all of Claire Cook's books are stand alones. Did you ever see the movie Must Love Dogs? She wrote that.
I see her books around, but haven't read any. Looks like fun.
Thanks for participating in Book Beginnings!
They are all really good!
Not familiar with this one. Hope you're enjoying it. Thanks for stopping by my Friday post earlier.
It ended up being a really cute story!
Sounds like a good one! I'm not familiar with it but hope you like it!
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
She's a great author if you're looking for someone new to read.
New author and title for me. I'll definitely have to check it out. I'm a big Dancing with the Stars fan too.
That sounds like a very interesting beginning!
Thanks for stopping by.
Aren't you excited for the All-Star cast this fall? I can't wait to see who they pick. The book was really good, too!
