Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

What happened to the Julie Garwood who wrote sparkling dialogue in The Bride? The one who wrote a good strong mystery with interesting characters in Heartbreaker? The author who already wrote a book about a surgeon with a much better plot in Killjoy? Give her back. And please take back this fake Julie Garwood clone who's been putting out mediocre minus books under her name the past few years. For an author who used to be an auto-buy, even in hardcover, she's now become an author I don't even bother buying in paperback. Borrowing from the library is just fine for a quick, unmemorable read, and that's all The Ideal Man is. Flat characters, tired plot, weak dialogue, and at times just plain boring. I get the sense she's writing to fulfill a contractual obligation rather than out of any driving need to tell a story, and it shows. So it is time to mount the campaign. We want the real Julie Garwood back. The one who toiled over books until the dialogue sparkled, the one who plotted carefully, and above all, the one who wrote characters you cared about and remembered.
