Best Sherryl Woods Series
Revisado: 02-29-20
In my opinion this is the best series of Sherryl Woods! Clever, strong female character talking about something other than romance but still a sizzling romance novel series. Murder mysteries with expected and unexpected twists and turns. Witty dialogue. An equally clever, mysterious and handsome male lead character who respects and treats the female lead with respect. Such a refreshing change from other romance novels where the women are only focused on getting their man and the men are belittling and other forms of abuse to the female characters. And, if you have any knowledge of South Florida you will appreciate the landmarks, history and mentality mentioned.

Sakina's Restaurant breathes new life into an age old story: the emotive tale of an immigrant coming to New York in pursuit of the American dream. Actor, comedian, and writer Aasif Mandvi originally performed his Obie Award-winning solo show off-Broadway 20 years ago. This past October, the iconic play was reimagined and produced by Audible for a limited run at Minetta Lane Theatre in the West Village of Manhattan. Recorded for an Audible-exclusive audience, listeners can forgo the price of admission and embark on the cross-cultural journey with Mandvi.

Tragedy NOT Comedy
Revisado: 03-21-19
Here’s the skinny: Aasif Mandvi’s laughing face on the cover and your likely expectation that, as a well known comic, even if this is a drama it will be peppered with humor is wrong. Beyond tragic, this is without a doubt a seminal work of art in the American experience lexicon. The stories share runs at the American Dream, clinging to and loss of culture, attempts at assimilation and social exclusion told in the raw from the hearts of an immigrant family. A highly emotional and telling performance showing America’s “classless” class system. More masterful vignettes propelling you to enlightenment like PBS than a ruckus HBO entertainment. It is a reminder we are all humans who dream and suffer so wrapped up in our own dance we forget everyone around us is human too. We feel our American ugliness at home and the distance of a third culture abroad in the telling of these stories.
Why three stars? Personal preference for humor maybe. More sweet comedy would make it easier to ingest, digest and internalize the full dish being served up here. We need to clean our plates and eat our bitter greens so we can grown big and strong sure, but I hope we grow compassionate too. A little sweet onion or cheese mixed in might make a more catalyzing meal.

Not a fan of abusive males portrayed as the love of your life
Revisado: 09-22-17
Stumbled across this book in a retail store while visiting the Badlands of South Dakota, thinking it would be nice to read something that had a flavor of the area I downloaded it not realizing it was a Harlequin romance. Not against romance in a novel, but not generally a fan of Soap Operas in book form. I did listen to the entire book and here'S my review/concerns:
What really bothered me, once excepting the book for the genre that it is, several of the male characters are down right abusive in the way they treat, talk to and neglect the female characters. I thought no wonder why girls and women think men are bad communicators, naturally neglectful, and verbally abusive - this is how they are portrayed in the books we read. Yes life is messy and complicated, but this book was 75% conflict, 5% happy and 20% rehashing what you just read in character dialogue now retold by the narrator. It was very repetitive, predicable, and almost never peaceful or happy.
Why in the world would you marry anyone who always told you, you were wrong, avoided you when he was mad at you, projected his own hostile feelings on you, etc. I worry about the culture norms we are building in women's minds through media glorifying and normalizing abusive relationships.
