4.0 out of 5 stars Great Motivation for Single Mothers, May 27, 2010

This review is from: The Successful Single Mom (Paperback)

THE SUCCESSFUL SINGLE MOM has a lot to offer the newly divorced mother in regard to personal and professionals goal setting after divorce. The author is honest about the feelings of fear and rejection that accompany the end of a marriage and the emotional paralysis that can result.That said, the book moves quickly from acknowledging those feelings, getting whatever help is necessary from professionals, clergy or friends and planning a future for you and your children.
This book will be particularly helpful to women who want to start their own bussiness. The author has much to offer in this area as she ran her own business before her divorce and shares a number of her keys to building and maintaining a successful business. In addition, she has developed a 100 Day Plan, complete with worksheets, to encourage women to begin setting goals for themselves. This plan,however, is not for everyone as each woman must find her own way and the pace that works for her. A large part of the divorce experience is learning about yourself and developing your own style for creating a life for you and your family.Whatever choices you eventually make, this book will get you thinking and moving!

This is a great book for any Mom! No, I'm not a Single Mom, but LOVE this book. Any Mom can apply the tools in this book and make a better life for herself and her family. I hope you don't mind that an old married Mom uses these techniques, too. Read it, re-read it and make the changes that will make you happier and more successful in whatever you do. Thanks, Honoree for helping yet again!

Product Description

Bella Rossi may be nearing thirty, but her life is just starting to get interesting. When her Italian-turned-Texan parents hand over the family wedding planning business, Bella is determined not to let them down. She quickly books a "Boot Scoot'n" wedding that would make any Texan proud. There's only one catch--she's a country music numbskull because her family only listens to Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. Where will she find a DJ on such short notice who knows his Alan Jackson from his Keith Urban?
When a misunderstanding leads her to the DJ (and man) of her dreams, things start falling into place. But with a family like hers, nothing is guaranteed. Can the perfect Texan wedding survive a pizza-making uncle with mob ties, an aunt who is a lawsuit waiting to happen, and a massive delivery of 80 cowboy boots? And will Bella ever get to plan her own wedding?
Book one in the Weddings by Bella series, Fools Rush In is fun, fresh, and full of surprises. Readers will love the flavorful combination of Italian and Tex-Mex, and the hilarity that ensues when cultures clash.

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny!, January 8, 2010

By

Trisha's Book Blog "Trisha" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fools Rush In (Weddings by Bella, Book 1) (Paperback)

This book was funny from the first page. I have never read a book with so much religion in it before, but that did not stop me from picking up this book. Just from reading the description on the back of the book, I knew that I had to read this. I love anything weddings, and a little bit of romance never hurts.
The book starts off with Bella's parents retiring from their wedding business. They have decided to give the business over to Bella, her first wedding is a boot scoot'n country wedding with cowboy boots as the centerpieces. There is only one problem, Bella is full blown Italian and her family has only ever done traditional weddings. But when Bella advertises that she is doing themed weddings she starts getting calls for some crazy weddings.
She meets DJ towards the beginning of the book when she hears a man talking about DJ on the phone, Bella thinks that this is a sign from God since she is looking for a deejay for the wedding she is planning. Get it, DJ is his name, she thinks he is a deejay. Let's just say that when DJ finds out that Bella wants him to be the DeeJay for the wedding, it turns into a very funny part of the book.
Bella's family is very close. They all live together, her Aunt, Uncle, Mom and Dad, and a couple siblings and are they funny! It reminds me of my family, there is always someone talking louder than someone else to be heard over everyone, and Holidays are even louder.
This is a must read for anyone who likes a little romance, and the love of family in a book.

A Light Hearted Fun Read, November 27, 2010

By

Kara Isaac (Wellington, New Zealand) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fools Rush In (Weddings by Bella Series #1) (Paperback)

After reading all the glowing reviews here I had high hopes for this book. Perhaps too high!
First the good. As other reviewers have commented the Rossi family form a cast of lively, quirky and very funny laugh-out-loud characters. They swoop you up in one big embrace and carry you along the story as you flip the pages.
So why the three stars? Firstly, I found the book a little difficult to get into. I've owned if for over a year and after three failed attempts finally managed to crack my way past page 50. Personally, I think this was because I found those first fifty a little too much backstory, introspection and introductions and not enough action.
*Possible semi spoiler*
Secondly, I think I've realised I like my romances to have a few more obstacles. While trying not to spoil anything for future readers, if the feature romance had had a little more conflict and tension it would have definitely had me a bit more engaged. It was all just a little too easy and left me wishing they'd had to fight a little bit harder.
However, this is a lovely lighthearted read if that it what you're looking for.

Delicioso!, September 18, 2009

By

Mocha with Linda (Texas, United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fools Rush In (Weddings by Bella, Book 1) (Paperback)

What do you suppose happens when the Bella of a passionate & noisy Italian clan meets a Texas cowboy? Mamma mia! Something's bound to be cooking, and I don't just mean the pizza and BBQ!
Twenty-nine and single, Bella Rossi has taken over the management of her family's wedding facility and bridal consulting business and immediately changes its focus from traditional to themed weddings. The only flaw is that it's less than two weeks before her first event, a Boot-Scootin' western wedding, and she still has to lasso a deejay (along with a few other minor details, such as music, food, and centerpieces). That seems to be a daunting task until she overhears a customer at her uncle's pizzeria talking to a deejay and convinces him to give her his number (the deejay's, not the customer's). After Dwayne (or Duh-wayne, as he pronounces it!) arrives and the initial meeting with her and the couple getting married takes an unexpected turn, Bella falls for him - literally, in a fainting heap at his feet.
As plans proceed and then the event itself occurs, Bella tries to find the balance between giving her all to prove her capability and relying on God to guide her steps. There are plenty of amusing - and horrifying! - mishaps along the way, as well as lots of family drama. Will Dwayne "head for the hills" or will he add a little flavor of his own to her family? And what will happen when her rowdy relatives meet Dwayne's own down-home, small-town family? This humorous and engaging tale adds sparks and gives new meaning to the term "melting pot". And it made me hungry! I look forward to Bella's next adventure as she

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-8?The law of the jungle?intense competition for one's niche?seems to apply to The Jungle Book, judging from the numerous editions jostling on the bookseller's shelf. The centenary of publication is the justification given for this avatar: but fortunately, it needs no excuse. All the Mowgli stories, and the perennial "Rikki-tikki-tavi," appear to glorious advantage in a handsome format. A manageable size, creamy paper, a clear typeface, and generous margins are as inviting as the 17 masterly full-page watercolors. They are beautifully composed, balanced but not static, freely handled but without any loss of clarity. Mowgli and the animals are characterized rather than idealized. Color and texture are subtle but lush. These contrasts perfectly complement the tension between order and "the jungle" evoked in Kipling's text. If survival of the fittest indeed applies to publishing, this edition should have a long life.?Patricia (Dooley) Lothrop Green, St. George's School, Newport, RI
Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From Booklist

Gr. 4^-7. In 18 rich watercolor paintings, Pinkney captures the sheer drama of the eight Mowgli stories and of the well-loved "Rikki-tikki-tavi." A handsome volume for collections of classic tales. Sally Estes --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Real Thing, January 27, 2008

By

Chris J. Sexton (Fillmore, California USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Jungle Book (Hardcover)

My favorite books from childhood have always been Milne's "The World of Pooh" and Kipling's "The Jungle Book". Over the years I have purchased many copies of each as presents. Both can be difficult to find in versions unaltered from the original. I have found this to be particularly true in the case of The Jungle Book. Some folks just don't seem to get that Kipling had a pretty good handle on what he was doing. One does not tamper with a Masterpiece.
This version is the real thing. It reads word for word the same as the tattered, 40-year-old copy that I first read when I was eight years old. Add illustrations by Robert Ingpen that faithfully capture the emotion of the story and you have a real winner. For those who appreciate The Jungle Book as it was BEFORE it was adulterated by Mr. Disney and friends, this is a very worthy effort.

This review is from: The Jungle Book (Mass Market Paperback)

Just read the previous review (about 'simplifying' the
language in Jungle Book). I am reading the ORIGINAL
text JB to my eight year old son (for over a week now),
and he's not once indicated that the language puzzles
him. He did ask me why Mowgli uses thee and thou
and wouldst while talking with the animals, but
accepted my explanation without demur.
Reminds me of the lines from an Elinor Wylie poem
"Our mutable tongue is like the sea
Curled wave and shattering thunder-fit;
Dangle in strings of sand shall he
Who smooths the ripples out of it."
Say it out loud, and feel what it does to your
mouth and face - that's what Kipling's prose

This review is from: The Jungle Book (Hardcover)

This is undoubtedly a beautiful book, but it should definitely be noted that it only contains the first half of Mowgli's story (i.e., through Shere Khan chapter only) - the text seems unabridged that far, but parts of both Jungle Books are missing - which I for one was misled about from other review(s).

I found the book very useful and easy to read. There was just enough technical information in the text to be informative without being overwhelming. I did order the Kindle edition of the book and unfortunately many of the example photos were missing (some were included, but not all). So several of the examples in the book would refer to a picture that was missing. These missing picture are what lead me to rate the book a 4 star instead of 5.

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Single Mother's Guide to Raising Remarkable Boys (Paperback)

What a beautiful book! The Single Mother's Guide to Raising Remarkable Boys is one of the finest new parenting books that I have seen in a while. The balanced and accurate summary of parenting research is a breath of fresh air. The advice is sensible and well grounded in both research and the experiences of parents. The affirmation of single mothers and the wonderful children they raise is overdue. An engaging writing style also makes the book a good read.
The Single Mother's Guide to Raising Remarkable Boys resonated with me both professionally and personally. Professionally, I have three advanced degrees in behavioral sciences and most of my research has involved parenting and child development. On a personal note, my own mother raised three boys and two girls as a single mother for many years. From both the professional and personal perspectives I must say that these authors got it right!
I can't think of any parent who wouldn't benefit from the view of parenthood presented here.

Review

Naturally funny and candid style of writing keeps the reader engaged as she comes into her own as a parent. She is honest and humorous as she admits the mistakes she made, but also confident in her role as a mother, first and above all
--women24.com
With wit and humility, Engelbrecht shares her mistakes and triumphs, regrets and pleasures. She doesn't presume to be an agony aunt or a psychologist - just another girl, not so different from everyone else. --Cape Times, South Africa
It's not a cautionary tale of a Good Girl Gone Bad or even of a Bad Girl Made Good... It's just a little story of changes and adjustment, of love and destiny". This is a refreshing look at motherhood free from the usual cheese and cliché.

Product Description

A sharp, occasionally shocking, memoir that will change how you look at teenage mothers, The Girl Who Couldn’t Say No is told with frank South African humour and refreshingly mature insight. Tracy Engelbrecht tells the story of how she came to find herself pregnant at 15, and how she coped with pregnancy, birth and homework.
An eye-opener for teens and their parents alike, as well as a message of hope, empathy and respect for those who have experienced a teenage pregnancy.
No M-TV teen moms, no sugar-coating, no horror stories - just honesty, humility, humour and love. Real life.

I've been wanting to read this book for quite a while and I was not disappointed. I bought it late on Sunday afternoon and thought I would read a few pages every night. I took a sneak peek at the first two pages. I finished the book on Monday afternoon. I was hooked!! Tracy's honesty and humour makes this a fabulous read. Easy and keeps you hooked. Tracy's writing style is fabulously refreshing.
Her story is captivating and honest. It is her story and she tells it well. It gave me insight to her as well as other young moms. I know this is her story only but I am sure that there are other young moms out there that experience much of the same. This gives me, the average reader, so much insight and a new found respect for every young mother, whatever their journey.
I would highly recommend this book. It's a good story. It is very well written. It is thought provoking. It is fabulous!

Tracey does a great job describing motherhood. And, she's right, many of the feelings she describes are the same whether you're 15 or 40. The exhileration, the exhaustion, and the pure love that's beyond anything you can imagine. Also love the description of preschool teachers vs office workers. As a teacher turned office worker, she got it spot on. Enjoy the book!

Soon, she opens her heart and her body to Alex. Alex has been coming to this resort for years, but has never been tempted before meeting Hannah. Against the rules of chivalry, however, he fails to tell Hannah one important fact: he is the king of Boisdemer. Their fairy godmothers have their work cut out for them.

Sensuality Rating: SCORCHING
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Length: Novel (45,000 words)

5 Kisses: "The Prince and the Single Mom is a charming story by Morgan Ashbury. I love the fairy tale feel of the story and the fairy godmothers. Catharine has been so hurt by a man in the past that her response to Phillip takes her by surprise. Phillip is the perfect hero! He sweeps Catharine as well as her son off their feet. I loved the way he doesn't disregard her child. Hannah and Alex's love affair is a wonderful addition to the story. They share true passion and caring and their love scenes are very poignant. The Prince and the Single Mom is a wonderful read I highly recommend!" -Tara Renee, Two Lips Reviews

4.5 Stars: "The Prince and the Single Mom is a sweet fairy tale that confirms the power of love. I enjoyed both Catharine and Hannah's stories. Catharine became a single mom at a very early age and is skeptical of men. I love that Philip is patient with her and anticipates her concerns. He's wonderful with her little boy, interacting with him as one would expect a father to do. The love scenes between them are steamy and the ending will melt your heart. I loved the way Ms. Ashbury wrote Hannah's story. She's a young widow who decides to throw caution to the wind and have an affair that will last her a lifetime. The interaction between Hannah and Alex is superb with great dialogue and sexual encounters. Hannah's story does not conclude at the end of this book, which makes me hope that in books two and three of the series, Ms. Ashbury will continue with Hannah and Alex's tale. I definitely will be returning to the Kingdom of Boisdemer in the future for other stories in this new series." -Claudia Orpik, Just Erotic Romance Reviews

4 Angels: "Catherine is a lovely heroine and Phillip is truly 'Prince Charming'. These two are just spectacular together. Their chemistry is spot on, with lots of tender moments. Catherine's hesitation to embark on a relationship is understandable, and Phillip's ability to sway her will win the heart of readers. He is such a yummy hero, it is not hard to understand Catherine's capitulation. Hannah and Alex's story begins in this book but is not resolved. Hannah and Alex are the respective parents of Catherine and Phillip. This is a mature couple, and their story is just as compelling as their children's. The dialogue between them is sizzling. Hopefully, the author will present more of their story in the upcoming books in this series. The Prince and The Single Mom is an enchanting romance with fairytale aspects to the story. The author has done a great job weaving her storylines together. It contains plenty of eroticism and romance. This reader looks forward to the next book in this series." -Susan T, Fallen Angel Reviews

The Prince and the Single Mom, September 10, 2008

By M. Nix "Joyfully Reviewed" -

This review is from: The Prince and the Single Mom [Magic and Love 1] (Siren Publishing Classic) (Kindle Edition)

Single mother Catherine Jones and her young son (Jamie) are accompanying her mother (Hannah) on a trip to the kingdom of Boisdemer, which Hannah won. This is really the first time that Catherine has let loose and had some fun since she was duped by Jamie's father. She is enchanted by the man who is helping Jamie on the horse, during a horse-riding outing from the resort. She is intrigued by his looks as well as his demeanor. Though when she finds out he is a real life prince she is not so sure anything can come of the spark they seem to feel. Can Phillip convince her that she is meant to be a Princess and that he loves her son?
Hannah is drawn to the older handsome man (Alex) she sees across the room. She is not sure she ever felt a fluttering her stomach over a man before. But, she takes a chance, as she is on the vacation of a lifetime, and decides to do more than just a little sailing on his boat. While both of their feelings for each other grow ,Alex is also `digging a deeper hole for himself' you see he has forgotten one important thing in his dealing with Hannah. He has forgotten to tell her he is not really mild mannered Alex Cross, he is actually King Alexander.
The two fairy godmothers that are trying to get these two couples together definitely have their work cut out for them in this story.
The Prince and the Single Mom is the fantastic start of a series of stories by Ms. Ashbury featuring the modern day kingdom of Boisdemer and princes, kings, and a fairy godmother or two. For those who don't believe in fairy godmothers anymore you should read this story and it just might change your mind. Ms. Ashbury does a wonderful job with the romance between Kate and Prince Phillip, including how Jamie would be a strong part of any relationship and Phillip's acceptance of him could make or break a relationship. Additionally, Hanna and Alex's romance shows the reader that just because you are more than forty does not mean you are dead. The author did a great job in planning out the story so that both plot lines worked together and even fed off each other in places. She additionally made the reader see how important it is to tell the truth and even lies of omission may someday come back to bite you. I found The Prince and the Single Mom a fun contemporary romance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read it Twice...and probably will again..., April 12, 2007

By

Sandee "Loves God, Loves Kids" (Folsom, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: My Single Mom Life: Stories and Practical Lessons for Your Journey (Hardcover)

I have read this book twice..once in April and again in August. Both times it spoke to me. First off, it is from the Christian life view perspective. So not having that perspective would probably make the book less helpful, although it might offer some insight into how that perspective can help.
As another reviewer noted, the book does end with the dream of a "hunky" man, and I agree with her criticism, that a "hunky" man is not the end goal. That said, I think the principle of a spiritually (emotionally healthy) "hunky" man or NO MAN AT ALL, it a great perspective. ie..don't settle. Don't make a mistake out of weakness.
What touched me and spoke to me most about this book was the kids. It IS about them. It is about being a "groovy" mom and having a rich life FOR THEM! (As well as for yourself.) And then some very practical insights into how that might look.
I agree, that her work life is very idealistic and not what the rest of us live and that part is hard to relate to. I do feel, when I read it, good for her, what a blessing for her, but that is NOT the life I live.
I have purchased and given this book to other single mom's. It has a positive, hope-filled message and the shot in the arm to be brave, be a woman of valor and dare to have a full life as a single mom.
I say. Bravo! http://360.yahoo.com/lvglvk

missing something- reality check, August 2, 2007

By

Jasmi Thotts (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: My Single Mom Life: Stories and Practical Lessons for Your Journey (Hardcover)

After reading this book, I continued to struggle with the familiar nagging at my heart and the ache in my stomach, which speak more honestly to me about the realities of single motherhood. While I respect and appreciated many things that this author described about her own experience as a single mother, the heavy emphasis on religion, the reliance on a masculine form of divinity and the reference to the constant craving for a "hunky" male partner, particularly towards the end, left me feeling like this book was directed primarily at the white, high heeled, manicured, primarily Christian raised, middle class lifestyle type of mother. It spoke largely of this one woman's experience with the hopes that some of it might help other women, likely in similar circumstances. None of the descriptions of this book, nor the on line reviews identify the heavy extent to which the theme of religion, a male God, church, etc. are woven into the chapters. If something in this book resonates for white middle class women, great, the book is a success. But there remain thousands of women who do not fit in this group. Some of the serious issues that are often part of single mother hood and need real solutions, real acknowledgement, seem to be minimized or ignored. Dealing with abusive ex partners who remain involved in the children's lives, dealing with the emotional upheaval of depression, experiences of anxiety, trying to secure medical care for oneself and ones children, trying to find and get to therapy or good counselling, legal costs, not dating for years, not dating at all, having to manage house hold repairs, sick children, a full time job, shift work, all of these things alone....they just aren't dealt with adequately. The isolation of living in a smaller community, and not jetting off to other cities and countries, the lack of family resources and few reliable men who have time to mentor a son....they are realities for many many women. This book falls short for these women. The end of the book was disappointing...the reference to the fantasy of the dreamy man that is pined for and waited for, the end goal.......the hope for this dream to come true.....it promotes the message that a woman is not whole or enough without a man....that the goal is eventually to be with a man. This book seemed like an outpouring of one woman's story, and perhaps that was in itself therapeutic for the author. But for the other women out there who are also raising amazing children and get through the day with incredible integrity, courage and strength, women out there who don't have a personal assistant, don't jet off to big cities or other countries and do workshops or talks, don't have people stop them and tell them "you are beautiful",or "you know why we all love you", haven't dated for years, this book will feel alienating and out of touch with their reality and those "practical" challenges. Potential readers and purchasers of this book should at the very least be aware of this ahead of time.

This review is from: My Single Mom Life: Stories and Practical Lessons for Your Journey (Paperback)

Life sometimes does not turn out the way we expect it too. Sometimes, we are thrown for a loop with no where to turn. Who plans after vowing "I DO" and having a couple of "blessed events" to be alone raising children? Who plans on holding the hand of their child while their spouse is lowered into a grave? Who believes that of the 50% of marriages that end in divorce, theirs would be among the statistic?
No one expects the worse. But when the worse happens, it's great to have someone who has been there, show you the way. Not someone who gives you advice they overheard someone say or fish a random verse from the Bible, but someone who has walked the journey you yourself are now embarking.
In some circles, Angela Thomas had it all: a husband, four beautiful children, and a successful speaking and writing career. She wrote books encouraging women to seek the beauty and wrote prayers for the expectant mother and new mom. I can imagine she never imagined she'd write a book about herself titled, My Single Mom Life: Stories and Practical Lessons for Your Journey. What was made for her bad was certainly turned around for every reader's good.

Love it! Love it! Love it! Cudos to Cassandra for having the insight and courage to write this gem of a book. Every single mother should have a copy of this book. It touches on so many important issues that I don't know where to begin. You'll learn not to beat yourself up over things that are out of your control. You'll learn how to tune out negativity from others so that you can focus on living your best life. You'll also learn what to look for and what not to look for in a mate. It's a small book that packs a big punch.
What I like most about it, besides the practical information was that I felt like Cassandra was right here with me. I feel like she understood my pain and my hopes for the future.

This review is from: The Single Moms Little Book of Wisdom: 42 Tidbits of Wisdom To Help You Survive, Succeed and Stay Strong (Paperback)

This book has a lot of advise that can actually help any busy woman, not just a single mom, about believing in yourself and how to have that self respect you need. The encouraging parts would really help a newly single mom too, especially the one that says it's okay to grieve after a divorce. The advise is just very down to earth and candid, and I love the format. There's a wise saying and then an essay on it, so you could read one a day and focus on taking those small steps each day. I'd recomend this for any woman and especially for moms looking for a boost to their confidence.

It shows you have to be tough and strong during this critical time which allows you to grow.
If you need encouragement and support during/ after a divorce, then buy this book.

Great Motivation for Single Mothers, May 27, 2010

By Jeanne L. Ward (Jacksonville, Florida, US) -

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Successful Single Mom (Paperback)

THE SUCCESSFUL SINGLE MOM has a lot to offer the newly divorced mother in regard to personal and professionals goal setting after divorce. The author is honest about the feelings of fear and rejection that accompany the end of a marriage and the emotional paralysis that can result.That said, the book moves quickly from acknowledging those feelings, getting whatever help is necessary from professionals, clergy or friends and planning a future for you and your children.
This book will be particularly helpful to women who want to start their own bussiness. The author has much to offer in this area as she ran her own business before her divorce and shares a number of her keys to building and maintaining a successful business. In addition, she has developed a 100 Day Plan, complete with worksheets, to encourage women to begin setting goals for themselves. This plan,however, is not for everyone as each woman must find her own way and the pace that works for her. A large part of the divorce experience is learning about yourself and developing your own style for creating a life for you and your family.Whatever choices you eventually make, this book will get you thinking and moving!
