I thhink this series is great couldnt put it down for 2 whole days.
This is the last one I struggle through. Some of the first two were pretty good and this had it's high points but she's just so wordy.
Irene L H. (NonExistence) -
In Coyote Dreams, Joanne makes a comeback. No, she's not perfect, and still gets into trouble, some of it embarrassing,
but she's generally thinking before jumping. More importantly, she has to face the consequences of her previously poor
judgment, and takes responsibility. In short, character growth. Let me repeat that - CHARACTER GROWTH. Now that's
refreshing. Bravo to the author.
Bravo also to the author for her obvious respect of men. Eye-candy cartoon cut-out gigolos are not her shtick, she gives
every major male character a personality, a strength, an identity of his own, regardless of his romantic potential. Gary,
a dominate character in all three books thus far, is allowed to be sexy, romantic, physically strong, solid, dependable,
wonderful, even in his seventies. Morrison (her boss) can be a bit of a stick in the mud, and still have attractive
depths of personal honor and integrity worth exploring. The sexy new man introduced in the first chapter of the book has
common scholastic interests that attract our heroine. Thor, the mechanic who took over Joanne's garage position, adds a
few words of commonsense wisdom that Joanne needs to hear. Her quirky (cross-dressing) friend and co-worker, Billy, has a
depth of passion for his wife that is stunning. Coyote, in his brick red skin, becomes more than just a teacher, but a friend
and protector you can love.
It's a terrific addition to the series, moves the plot forward, and is more than worth your time. But, for me, it's the
characters that make the adventure special.
