5.0 out of 5 stars Look out for the kitty in a life preserver!! 21 Oct 2003

Katie Macalister, who does nothing but write 24/7 so that I have lost track of HOW MANY books she has out this year, gives us BIRD OF PARADISE story in this trilogy. It is a gem of a comedy that says big is beautiful and a man and his cat should not be parted! Poking fun at the "reality" telly shows, this one groups a bunch of bachelors and bachelorettes and puts them in competition to find true love. The one that does wins a million dollars. But there is shady dealings doing on, as Adam is not really a contestant - neither is his cat named Jesus!! He is a private eye on the trail of his best friends ex-girlfriend. Girlfriend is fed up with Superjock friend and has joint the hunt for true love, so friend bribes another contestant to let Adam take his place so he can spy on the lady. Only, she spots him and knows what the game is. Into the mix is another not there for romance, Hero. She is there in a last ditch effort to save her job and get the inside scoop on the show for the rag magazine for which she works. Between Adam, Hero and Jesus the cat...love is a forgone conclusion. Katie once again give you a lovable, less than perfect heroine in Hero and anyone who loves kitties will adore Jesus the cat. The Story will have you HOWLING with laughter.

Jennifer Archer offer us BREAKING THE RULES, continuing the theme of men and women seeking romance - and a million dollars!!
Claire and her fiancé, James, are contestants. THey are there because of James' not so brilliant idea - thinking the tropical local would bring them closer. Enters Mitch and sudden that plan is out the window. James not only lose a shot at the girl but the big bucks!!

Sheridon Smythe's entry is HOT SHOT, and is another story of contests. This time Whitney and Rand as centre of focus. Whitney, again is not there for romance, but has come in search of the father she never knew. Daddy dearest is the host of the game show and she figures this is a good chance to see daddy up-close and judge him. Rand is there only because of his dead wife's fruitcake will. Since neither are there for romance, they figure they can give each other a cover and keep the other contestants from bothering them. What they did not count on was find love in paradise.

Who wins???? I won't tell...you have to read!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Mixed Bag 10 Jun 2010
By Jedibarrister - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the earliest work by Katie MacAlister so I picked it up used. It's 3 short stories told about a reality show on an island called Eden. 50 men, and 50 women come on the island to find love, and the winner gets a trip around the world and $1million.

MacAlister's story is typical zaniness. Hero North thinks herself fat (and thankfully she isn't a skinny minny but a 'real' size) and is sent as an expose writer for a London tabloid. Adam Fuller is a private investigator who's been hired to follow a contestant on behalf of a stalker NFL player. But he's had to infiltrate as an approved contestant, an agoraphobic radio sex therapist with the tagline of "And then my nipples exploded". He needs this job b/c his cat, Jesus, is suicidal over his neutering and Adam needs to buy him prosthetic testicles. See? MacAlister!

The second story, Archer's is about a cameraman (Mitch) trying to get an interview with the producer of the show since he's filming a documentary in Africa. He hates recording the confession booths. He during a power outtage meets the only 'committed' couple on the show...well the woman anyway. Her fiance convinced her to come on the show for the prize money and they pitched it as a "testing our love" game to get on the show. This was a good story generally.

Last and least, was Smythe's. Whitney is signed on by her busy-body mom and friends to go and get a life, a man, and oh...meet her father the host of the show who doesn't know Whitney exists. Rand is 5 years widowered. His wife's will took away the life-sized statue of hers (with huge boobs) and her teddy bear if he didn't marry within 5 years of her death. Rand's been staying true to his vows and lonely. The story might have been better had it had an additional 20 pages on it. As it was, it had a cliched end and wrapped too quickly.
1.0 out of 5 stars BZY BEE BOOKS 3 May 2012

I recieved an ordered book from Bzy Bee Books entitled "Heat Wave". The book was listed as "new". However, it came with bent and folded yellowed pages. The cover had seen better days as it was dirty, folded up, and frayed. The binding was also well broken in from use. How can this possibly be considered new?
