I enjoyed this a great deal. The characters are played somewhat against type. She's a mechanic, he's an architect. I'm not a big fan of teeny tiny heroines but I just ignored that most of the time. He was the clincher though. Not a total alpha hero, but he was just so funny the way he'd get engrossed in his work and forget everything including dates. I like how the author showed her ability to work a story outside the traditional box with the way the heroine accepted this about him and found ways to work around it. I'm not a big historical fan, but I'll read Ms. Dahl's contemporaries.

I first discovered Victoria Dahl when I purchased "A Rake's Guide to Pleasure." (Sorry, I decided not to post it, but put it on my Keeper shelf.) Wow, it was so sexy and funny, I immediately knew I had to read ANYTHING else I could find by this new author; I have not been disappointed.
This is my fourth Dahl book and I've got another on my Wish List. She is now one of my three most favorite authors. I enjoy an interesting storyline with plenty of humor and great romance. Victoria Dahl delivers all of the above every time. I'm tickled that she is such a young writer because it means we will have many opportunities to enjoy her writing in the coming years.

This is the first book I've read by Dahl, and it didn't disappoint. Witty dialogue, smart characters, it was a great read and I couldn't put it down. I liked that Lori was not your typical heroine and Quinn wasn't perfect, and that the ending was good without being entirely HEA. I also appreciated how she brought back characters (Molly and Ben) from the first book in the series and they played a solid role as supporting characters. This book is definitely on my keeper list, and I can't wait to read Talk Me Down!
