Review of WINE CLUB

No Sweat Pants Allowed

WINE CLUB

 

Jan Romes

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Putting two women into a conspiracy against men would raise hell. In WINE CLUB, Ms. Romes has interwoven the stories of four women and their personalities, living under one roof, into a play of disasters and triumphs.

These women, led by wealthy Elaina, owner of a large house they all move into, come together because of marital problems, i.e., divorces. How each marriage ended brings up various questions as to why they lived with those men in the first place.

The solutions to the ladies' endeavors evolve into conflicts between themselves. Some are sad, and some are funny. 

However, the story as a whole does work and keeps the reader wondering what will come next right up to the end---an enjoyable, Good Read.

Review of White Lily and a Teddy Bear

White Lily and a Teddy Bear

 

DANIEL S. SMITH

 

Review by Roy Murry

 

This story starts boring: an engineer, Don's daily routine of shit, dress, and shave (Crazy order); then he goes to work. Okay, there are some funny and sad parts: he talks to his dead wife, eats the same food each day, and reads the love commentary in the newspaper.

Don's life changes when Rachel arrives as a coworker on Monday. This adventure starts on a Wednesday and ends the following Saturday after he meets Rachel.

It's love at first smell. Yes, first smell. The involvement starts because their boss asks Don to help Rachel find an apartment.

The only drawback to this romance novel is Mr. Daniel Smith's interwoven politics into Don and Rachel's wooing, using rants. There was no need for me - I never mix love with politics.

All in all, the writing kept me engaged and was somewhat funny.

Review of JUST TYRUS

JUST TRYUS, A Memoir

TRYUS

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

After finishing his story, I had to think about what I read in JUST TRYUS for a few days. At first, I gave the book a five-star rating. But I reevaluated that thought - three to four-star at best.

Honesty is essential in a memoir. This work does to a point; I get it. Tryus wants to be known for his wrestling. But what is his birth name? Did I miss it?

Did I miss many things - the women in his life and their children? Unfortunately, for some reason, Tryus is not giving us the whole story. However, he alludes to that part of his life in comments on the Gutfeld Show, which I enjoy each time I see him on the show.

Tryus is not a literary spin master. His writing is uncomplicated and simply right to the point, as they are on Gutfeld. I look forward to them each time I watch the show.

His life has twists and turns, which many have also had. But he made it to the limelight, and I am glad he has. I wish him nothing but luck.

Good Read.

Review of RECKLESS

RECKLESS

A Mia Kazmaroff Mystery

 

SUSAN KIERNAN - LEWIS

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Mia touches a person or an object and receives feelings. They lead to solving a mystery. Well, not always does she get the right vibes.

Kazmaroff must mean flaky in Russian because Mia is a bit off-the-wall beautiful character who knows what she wants. Her brother is found dead, and she is the only one right to call it murder.

Mia teams up with her brother's detective partner to solve the crime. The investigation goes through many roadblocks, many of Mia's making from that moment.

As a book one in a series, the author keeps the reader engaged. However, I felt something missing, a cement that will keep the characters together through the series.

A good free read. Purchase: https://amzn.to/3Ma8rEU

SAM, I AM

SAM, I AM 

REGINA PUCKETT

Review by Author Roy Murry

The book's introduction to Amazon tells it all. This story is a short, gripping adventure into the dark side.

I have read many of Ms. Puckett's works. 'Sam I AM' is an excellent example of her work as a word spinner.

However, I would have liked to read a more extended version.
