The main characters have depth; I cared what happened to them. They make for another great Foster romance. The plot works though pieces are a bit far-fetched...but I can tolerate that in a romance novel. However the whole "Hell" character, her plotline, doesn't work for me. I feel as if she's only there to provide an acceptable vessel for an S & M subplot. Murray is well enough written that I already understand how sick and twisted he is without the scenes with Hell. Now, obviously I don't mind some "hot" in a romance novel or I wouldn't be reading Foster ; ) but the scenes with Murray and Helene just come across as gratuitous. They read like bad erotica and I expect better from Foster. It's a shame because they pull the book from a five star read to a three and a half.

She's welcome to her political views; I even agree with a few of them, but I don't want lectured in my cozy....more

Sometimes I want to read a book that I can just enjoy, no deep meaning, no dark suspense, no weighty intrigue...If you're looking for the same, this fits the bill. It's adorable. This is rom-com in print, though with a title like "Goodnight Tweetheart" would you expect anything else? I almost wish I hadn't already read it, just so I could read it by the pool this summer.

For now, first thoughts, inspiring, uplifting, honest...I often refuse to read anything with a blurb that says "you must read this" however in this case, it's true....more
