Customer Reviews

What fun!

What fun! Being an almost purely historical romance reader, I didn't know exactly what to expect with this kind of story but it was right up there with Stephanie Rowe's "Immortally Sexy" series. Fantasy, romance, and humor! My favorite ingredient! I understand this is new for this author as she usually does darker more serious paranormal fantasy stuff but if this was her first light book - I say MORE of this!! Only one little quirk and it's not just with this author. I hate when the cover images don't match the description of the characters inside. This definitely seems to be a blonde on the cover with pretty long hair; not brown hair and shoulder length. Aside from that my big question now is "What" is Walter??? Enjoy! =)

ParaNormal Romance Review Top Staff Pick

From ParaNormal Romance Reviews - Top Staff Pick ! Deborah M says: "I saw this three years ago in the American Titles contest and really rooted for it to win. It was just so much fun and really strikes the note that Thomas will be an author you hear a lot from in the coming year. I've got a feeling this could be the sleeper of the year. With that title, the quirky cover and Thomas's original style, this is a winner."

Enjoyable Reading

If you are looking for a light, energy driven, easy read and fun sensual story this is the book for you. Linda has created this para-normal fiction for a person who can be sipping a cup of tea on a warm Sunday afternoon or waiting for children to get out of school to help take their minds off life for a few moments. Listening to Linda at her recent book signings, she is truly passionate about her writings and creativity. Linda is a down to earth person, who does all of her own writing, who responds to correspondence received and edits her own material. Very few writers in this industry can say that. This book and future books are a must read collection and one for gift givings. Cheers!!

Fantastically Quirky, Paranormal Romance

Heather of Night Owl Romance 4.5 / 5 Hearts - Reviewer Top Pick What do you get when you pair an Alpha male with a furry side and a strong, slightly uptight female? You get Linda Thomas-Sundstrom's upcoming release, Barbie and The Beast. This is a fantastically quirky, paranormal romance. Shapeshifters are one of my sub-genres in paranormal romance and this book makes a great addition to my collection. Barbie Bradley has been swept off her feet, literally. One minute she was walking through the Forest Lawn Cemetery with her best friend, the next she's being thrown over a man's shoulder. Darin Russell found "Ms. Right" at work, usually the only women he finds there are dead. He had to find out more about her and her possible reaction to his furry little secret before he pops the question. If things go according to his plans, she's going to see his animal side. Ms. Thomas-Sundstrom has penned a wonderfully funny tale of romance with a furry kick. Her characters are strong, intelligent and really believable. Her plot is imaginative and the story seems to float off the page with delightful quirks. This is a book that you won't want to put down and you'll wish there was more to read. I am happy to recommend this book. © Night Owl Romance 2007-2009 [..]

Barbie Does Graveyard and Digs Wolf!!!

This is a great, fun, fluffy read. As light as angel food cake, this amusing light paranormal had me laughing out loud. I was hooked from the first page to the last. I wanted to be Barbie and I fell in love with Darin and his furry little secret. Linda Thomas-Sundstrom has created a wonderful escape book. I highly recommend it.
