Author:
I couldn’t find any information about PJ Lincoln. He/she doesn’t have an author page on Amazon or Goodreads. He/she should get one.
Description:
Regan is
struggling to extract herself from a relationship with a possessive guy. Matt
is trying get over his failed seven-year marriage. When they bump into each
other on Cocoa Beach, FL, sparks fly.
Appraisal:
Because I’m
writing one, I’ve been reading a lot of romance novels lately. I’ve found the
genre to be a mixed bag. In
particular, I find ‘the middle’ often gets bogged down with repetitive concerns
popping up in the main couple’s inner thoughts. Even when the romance portion
of the story works well, I’m often frustrated by unlikely events or backstory being
artificially inserted to drive the plot forward.
In The Sunshine avoided both of my pet peeves. This is a
cozy romance, neatly told. The author’s writing style is light and easy on the
eye. The main characters, Regan and Matt, both had believable back stories and
logical reasons for being where they were, both geographically, and personally.
I read the story in one sitting and
thoroughly enjoyed the tale. A nice, light romance with a feel good factor.
Format/Typo Issues:
Too few to
mention.
Rating: ***** Five stars

Thank you for the kind words, Peter. PJ Lincoln is my pen name ... and, yes, I am working on a web site!
You're welcome, PJ. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Here's an interesting blog about Author Central by Jackie Weger. (I'm the author whose ass she kicks about the lack of AZ presence). Ms. Weger doesn't take prisoners :-), but she talks a lot of sense. http://jackieweger.com/blog/
Scott, if you need some help setting up your author central page, you can find some easy tutorials here: http://www.indiesunlimited.com/2014/02/18/amazon-author-central-refresher-course/
Congrats on the great review.
I was going to post that same link, Kat, but got off reading Jackie's post and then saw something shiny and ...
