I'm A Sucker...
.. what can I say?I never read out of my genre. I never read shorts. I hate stories that end just about the time I get into them.So, why did I hit the "buy" button as soon as I got to the end of the sample?I fell in love.Yeah. Sappy, but true.Mick's adorable. A little dense but brilliant. She has a collection of friends that I envied and, secretly, I hoped she'd pick me as her match.Ok, it's fiction, right? You're allowed to make up stories in fiction and this one sucked me in -- hook, line, and guppy tank.Clean story telling. Crisp dialog. Lovely character sketching. Interesting ideas on relationships and a perfectly executed romance with a twist at the end that tied it all up in a big red bow with hearts on it.What? I'm a guy so I can't be a romantic?Puh-lease.Thanks, Debora. Great read.

Excellent nibble
This is the first in the promised series of "Novel Nibbles" by Debora Geary. It will take you an hour or two to read it - I guess it males it a novella, technically.Genre-wise, this is your typical unpretentious humorous romance, only perfectly executed. We follow romantic troubles and their resolution of a central character, with two or three secondary ones (a best friend, two colleagues, and, eventually, a love interest, obviously), a bit of slightly unconventional office politics, and little more. The plot is mostly linear and follows what can be expected of the genre canon - no many surprises, but still plenty of original execution, and the setting is pretty unusual. In less than 1000 locations there is no room for some great character development, just an occasional quick sketch, and we will see at least one usual stereotype (a computer geek), but even he gets to move a bit outside of the "standard" confines.This work will not cause belly laughs, but...
