WONDERFUL!!!!

AN ENJOYABLE BOOK!!! LOTS OF FUN. A FAST READ. Picked this up on the way out of the book store and was not dissappointed. Being from the northeast I enjoyed the southern charm of these colorful charcters.

I couldn't put it down!!

In most every book I read someone gets murdered, so I thought I would take a break from the mysteries and try something different with this book. Great move on my part. I loved this book. I loved the characters, the setting, the dogs, everything. I am not from the South, but I do come from a small town where everybody knows everybody else's business. I think that Rosina Lippi did a great job of showing the fear that encompasses Julia while slowly revealing what is the cause. Julia's jumping into bed with Dodge after about 20 pages did seem a little premature, but it made her a more interesting character. She was really two people - the person she was trying to be in front of all the town's people and the person she was with Dodge. Anyway, I just loved this book and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a light, romantic read (with no murder.)

A Delightful Read

I did a search on Kindle for novels by Sara Donati and found this jewel. Thesupporting cast of characters wereas interesting for me as was the story of dodge and Julia. If you enjoy reading novels that give you a wonderful slice of life in the South then you dont want to miss this one. It is a keeper.

Romantic comedy of the best kind

"A bird may love a fish, but where will they build a home together?" (Tevye, Fiddler on the Roof) He's claustrophobic. She's agoraphobic. He's a rover, moving from town to town rescuing small businesses on the brink of disaster. She couldn't be more settled in her apartment in Lambert Square. John Dodge and Julia Darrow both have secrets. They have problems. They have pasts. But can they have a future together? All of Lambert Square is watching and waiting, and from the first page to the last, you will be too. The Pajama Girls of Lambert Square is a romantic comedy of the best kind, with smart, funny characters drawn by an author who knows exactly when to keep us guessing and how to make us laugh. Fans of the Wilderness Series (written by Lippi under her pen name Sara Donati) will recognize the author's trademark wit and her ability to address real-life problems with loving attention to detail. The Pajama Girls of Lambert Square is Lippi's second foray into the romantic comedy genre, following 2006's Tied to the Tracks, and she has only gotten better with practice. Pajama Girls is sexy, funny, and genuine. If you're looking for a page-turner, this is it.

Lovely Southern Romance

The Pajama Girls of Lambert Square is a really wonderful book. The idea of a linen shop where the employees go to work in their PJs is really fun. It's also nice to read about two people falling in love who have some baggage and a whole life lived before meeting each other. I loved all the quirky characters and the fictional town of Lamb's Corner. Lippi's writing is so good that it will sneak up and steal your heart you when you're least expecting it. I'm definitely going to hunt down her backlist, including Tied to the Tracks so I can soak up all the southern goodness.
