READY TO ROLL Reader Reviews
I TOTALLY ENJOYED THIS SECOND ROLL OF THE DICE - EVERYTHING ALIGNED PERFECTLY. I WAS IN THE MOOD FOR A ROMANCE AND JANICE WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS FROM ROCKET MAN (READY TO ROLL #1). THERE ARE NO CARDBOARD CHARACTERS IN GREENE'S WORK - EVERYONE STANDS ON HIS OR HER OWN, READY TO ROLL THE DICE AND TELL ANOTHER STORY.
QUICK AND EASY READ. LIKABLE CHARACTERS YOU CAN RELATE TO. I THINK FOR A NOVELLA THERE WAS A GOOD MIX OF BACK STORY/CHARACTER HISTORY (MOSTLY DUE TO INTERRUPTING SUPPORTING CHARACTERS) AND ACTION. THE DIALOGUE WAS BELIEVABLE AND NOT OVERLY CORNY LIKE OTHER ROMANCE STORIES.
A QUICK, ENJOYABLE READ, WITH COMPLEX BELIEVABLE CHARACTERS AND A GOOD SEX SCENE.
IN READY TO ROLL, BE PREPARED FOR THE DATE OF THE YEAR FEATURING JANICE AND MIGUEL. JANICE'S ENERGY KNOWS NO BOUNDS, BUT SHE SLOWS DOWN ENOUGH TO ACCEPT AN INVITATION FOR DINNER PREPARED BY HER CO-WORKER AND SECRET ADMIRER, MIGUEL. THE PUSH-PULL OF THESE TWO CHARACTERS FILLS THE EVENING WITH ONE HUMOROUS DISASTER AFTER ANOTHER - FROM RELATIVES WALKING IN TO SECRETS REVEALED TO DINNER BEING RUINED. FRUSTRATIONS ABOUND. WILL THINGS EVER SETTLE DOWN ENOUGH TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT LOVE MAKING? JUST WHEN MIGUEL THINKS THE ENTIRE EVENING IS RUINED, JANICE RESPONDS TO HIS VULNERABLE SIDE. WHO KNEW?
THIS WAS A GREAT LITTLE STORY. I LOVED THE CHARACTERS AND THEIR BANTER/BATTLE OF WILLS. TOOTS' FAMILY ADDED A NICE TOUCH OF DRAMA.
IT'S A TESTAMENT TO AUTHOR MELANIE GREENE'S SKILL THAT I FOUND MYSELF BOTH INVESTED IN THE EMOTIONAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN JANICE AND MIGUEL, AND ALSO GOT MY GLASSES ALL STEAMED UP AS THIS DATE BETWEEN WORK COLLEAGUES REACHES ITS LOGICAL CONCLUSION IN THE BEDROOM. THE TEXAS SETTING MAKES THE EMPANADAS SOUND DELICIOUS, AND THE HUMIDITY ONLY INCREASES AS THESE TWO PUSH PAST ONE ANOTHER'S DEFENSES AND FIND AN INTIMACY THEY NEVER DREAMED OF. IF YOU LIKE THIS KIND OF STORY, YOU'LL LOVE READY TO ROLL; HOWEVER, EVEN IF YOU THINK IT'S NOT YOUR CUP OF TEA THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE YOU'LL BE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED.
