Customer Reviews

Hilarious & smart!

This book was hilarious! I was laughing out loud. Also, I walked away feeling smarter and more business savvy than ever before. Love it! Beauty, humor, and brains!

Plenty of heart

Cynthia has given us a dose of heart and a dollop of brains. All the gals in Ladies with Prospects are the sort you'd like to meet for lunch. Witty and warm, with full lives and solid characters. Life doesn't pass them by and they have no special exemptions from the tribulations of daily life. They live, love and laugh - and life is life! And life IS grand when you are aware of your prospects! Cynthia makes me remember all the wonderful people I have known in my own life and reassures me that, like the Ladies, there are more out there yet to meet. I am re-reading Ladies With Options wondering who they'll get from Hollywood's finest to play these wonderful, lovable women. Dreams come true and life unfolds, and life indeed is full of prospects. We love you Cynthia - Thanks for the Ladies we love.

Loved it!

As a reader, I had loved author Cynthia Hartwick's first book in this series, LADIES WITH OPTIONS. So it was with great expectations that I started reading LADIES WITH PROSPECTS.Yet, at the beginning, I didn't care for this work as much as I had the earlier book; bluntly, this story and these characters are not as endearing. Still, as I continued on, I realized that this plot is much richer and more complicated. While OPTIONS had aspects of a fairytale about money, LADIES WITH PROSPECTS tells a plausible tale.Well into the novel, I realized what a wealth of information this author possesses. She obviously has an expert's knowledge both of business and of the highest levels of technology, to which she adds a working knowledge of the film industry. With wonderful imagination, she has woven these elements--and, oh yes, a little romance, too--into LADIES WITH PROSPECTS, using language in an easy and elegant manner.LADIES WITH PROSPECTS is as complicated as any Dickens saga--a master to whom she pays homage--but a whole lot more plausible. And, in the process of divulging the plot, Hartwick examines the impact of the corporate raiders of ten years ago on a small town in which the sole factory (and largest employer) has been purchased and systematically stripped of its assets.By its end, LADIES WITH PROSPECTS is as full and compelling a saga as Dickens himself would have written, if he only had been a modern woman.Cynthia Hartwick is an author to watch.

Ladies With Prospects

An entertaining read... but not as wonderful as the first.

They're B-a-a-c-k!

They're b-a-a-c-k! Just as sassy and caring as before with some new characters that are just as entertaining and enjoyable as in Ladies with Options. This quick and easy read makes you feel like you've just received a long, newsy letter from your friends in Larksdale and leaves you wanting to know what happens next. (If you've read Ladies with Options you'll want to read Ladies with Prospects to learn what's happened with pink-haired Skye.) I'm anxiously awaiting the next novel from Cynthia Hartwick.
