Laurie S. (LaurieS) reviewed Light & breezy if that's what you're looking for on 4/20/2009 + 504 more book reviews

After reading about 1/3 of this it seemed very much like a ripoff of the Stephanie Plum books. The tone was tongue in cheek, the heroine a Greek girl who, after catching her husband-to-be with the maid of honor on her wedding day, is now a PI wanna-be who has a huge crush on a sexy Australian bounty hunter. If you've read the Stephanie Plum books this will all sound painfully familiar. In comparison (and how could one not make the comparison?) this one lacks. There is a lot of talk about Greek food and a few somewhat quirky characters but there is no Grandma Mazer here, just an old bat who wants to cook a dog and gives people the "evil eye" and it's all a bit bland. Man, now I'm feeling even grouchier.

I did finish it and won't say it was a chore because the writing was light and breezy. It is truly a mindless read which is what I needed to distract me from thinking on a few things. Come tomorrow I doubt I'll remember any details about it . . .
