I really loved Jack and the Skeffington family. I loved Desiree too, although I felt her character was a little all over the place - the author wanted to make her independent and into things like mechanics and physics, but it just felt like those things were shoe-horned in rather than being naturally part of the story.

Also, neither good nor bad, there was a small spicy scene in this one after two books without them. They seem to be throw away events and I'm not sure why the author has them in since her heart is in the characters and not the spice.

Tangled in Tinsel by Julia Mills

Did not finish book. Stopped at 27%.

The characters were vulgar and I just didn't care about them enough to read about them.
