Summary: Plain Jane - not really, a great read - YES!!!
Comment: When Jane Lewis was in college she was overweight, frumpy and painfully shy. She so wanted to be like Connie Bryan, the homecoming queen. Today, Jane Lewis is confident and has a thriving psychotherapy practice, her own radio talk show, a beautiful old Louisiana mansion and her dog, Olive to keep her company. What she is missing, however, is someone to share her life.
Jane is haunted by a spirit in her house, as well as the brutal, unsolved attack that ended Connie Bryan's life. The present begins to collide with the past, and a man she admired from afar in college comes in to her life and Jane finds herself re-evaluating he life and everything in it.
This was really a great read for me. I have always enjoyed Fern Michaels' books, and this one is right up on my favorites list!
The story line was well-written and the characters well-developed. By the end of the book, Jane and all the other main characters felt very real.

Summary: An entertaining fast read.
Comment: Plain Jane is present at the gang rape of a fellow coed on campus at LSU one night. The coed is the cutesy cheer-leader type who has the world by the tail, about to be married to her dreamboat jock of a boyfriend. Jane was held down by two of the jocks while the girl was raped and unable to help her. She makes a reluctant promise to the victim, against her better judgment, not to tell anyone about it and has to learn to live with the consequences of what happens to the girl. Basically, it is not a bad story, just lacking the intensity that some of Michaels other books have had. I agree with several of the readers here that we expected more and didn’t get it, as far as the plot and climax of the story went. In between all that however, were some entertaining characters and amusing reading. One has to remember that this is fiction. This one is a little far-fetched even for the fictional book-lover, but it has plenty of witty dialogue, and emotions of sadness and joy, loyalty and doubt. The dog stuff (not surprisingly) is overdone, as Michaels always puts the dogs on a level par-to if not above humans, and it appears this is where she loses some of her (new) readers– not everyone shares that attitude towards dogs, and don’t like to read sooo much about it, they can’t relate. I enjoyed the characters of her affluent God-parents, even ‘though I found some of their antics it to be unrealistic, they were none-the-less amusing and entertaining. I always find Fern Michael books to be good reading.

Summary: Ditto
Comment: Well folks, I have to agree with most of you. This book was unbelievable. As a mystery, it left you wondering. As a romance it was seriously lacking. As a ghost story, it was benign. No redeemable qualities at all. How can someone's best efforts miss the mark so far?
That's about all I have to say.
