With allegations of a 'fix' at the church bake-off, the arrival of a handsome and single preacher, and the antics of the town's sleazy mayor, reporter Susan Collins's plate is full, if unexciting. So when the local Murder Mystery Club, a trio of octogenarians from the local assisted living centre, appears at her desk to resurrect a decades-old missing persons case, Susan is intrigued. The newspaper's hunky CFO, Mark Tremayne, wants Susan to focus on stories that sell ads to stop the haemorrhaging of the small-town paper, but that doesn't sit well with the spunky redheaded reporter. As Susan investigates the mystery and fights Mark's plans for the paper, sparks fly between them. Can her Lois Lane aspirations and his seriously sexy Clark Kent personality team up for a Superman-worthy ending? Filled with humour, fast-paced storytelling, and lovable heroines, Karen Hawkins's story will delight fans of Jennifer Crusie.

"Lois Lane tells all" by Karen Hawkins is an awesome book full of great characters, sweet and sexy moments and many funny and amusing scenes.
Susan Collins loves living in small and sleepy Glory and working as editor-in-chief for "The Glory Examiner". Life could be great but sexy and nerdy Mark Tremayne is bringing tension into Susan's life. On the one hand he's trying to tell her how to do her job but on the other hand he is just too much like Clark Kent whom Susan adores. Normally Susan isn't interested in casual and short-time relationships but for Mark she's willing to make an exception.
Mark also feels the sparks between them and even though he's only in town for a few months he wants more of Susan than just being colleagues. Like Susan he is not interested in a long-term relationship because Glory is just too small and sleepy for him.
But when weird things start to go on in Glory and Susan seems to be in danger Mark can't stand back any longer. What starts as a casual relationship soon feels like so much more for Susan and Mark. But they still have to overcome their different viewpoints to form a relationship that can last longer than just a few months.
I absolutly loved reading "Lois Lane tells all". Following "Talk of the town" it's the second book by Karen Hawkins that plays in Glory. I would recommend to read "Talk of the town" before "Lois Lane tells all" but it's not a must.
From the beginning of the book I had a smile on my face and couldn't stop laughing until I finished it. Susan and Mark are both great and interesting characters and I enjoyed their arguments and banter a lot. The chemistry between them is palpable from their first scene and becomes more and more sizzling during the book.... Read more ›

I also enjoyed reading more about the Murder Mystery Club and the other citizens of Glory. Although there's a mystery in the book it's definitely more romantic than suspenseful.
Meeting all the bachelors the town has to offer lets me hope for many more books about Glory.
So, all in all I think "Lois Lane tells all" is an amazing book and I spent some very entertaining hours reading it. I can't wait to read more of Glory's citizens and I'm already excited for Ethan's story which will be published next.

silly
20 May 2010
By Dog Lover
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I bought it because of the dog on the cover.
Never heard of this author before. Silly little book. Most of the beginning chapters had each of the H and h "thinking" about how sexy the other was. When they finally made it to bed, there were 2 paragraphs. All that build up and, then, nothing.
Hmmm. That last sentence makes it sound as if my primary objection was the lack of explicit and drawn-out sex scenes. Definitely NOT the case as I usually just skip over such stuff anyway. What bothered me most about the "build up" was that it was just silly. Sounded like high-school stuff. If I had read an outline of the book, I would have been VERY interested. There are some plot lines that could have been used to create a fine piece of fiction. Reality is that those were never fully developed and I found that to be a real shame. I am continually befuddled with a lot of recently produced Romance genre books when the author (or publisher) elects to provide pages and pages and pages and PAGES of nonsense when there exist those candidate plot lines to develop and add depth to the writing. I appreciate light entertainment reading very much - spend $100s every year on it. I mourn, however, the lost opportunities I often see in such writing.
Lois Lane Tells All was inoffensive but it could have been much better.
At least the dog, Krypton, did finally appear in the book.

amusing journalistic investigative romance

In Glory, North Carolina, Susan Collins is a reporter and editor of the Glory Examiner. Her current boss is a no nonsense bottom line accountant. Temporarily in charge Mark Tremayne (brother of Roxie from Talk of the Town) is a hunk who ignores the news.

Her brake lines are sliced and that adversary cut a hole into her boat. With the help of the not over the hill assisted-living gang, Susan investigates who wants to kill her.
This is an amusing journalistic investigative romance starring a likable cast. The lead couple fights and fusses over the Examiner from the onset with the dear Bob column and never slows down as they fall in love. Fast-paced, Karen Hawkins' fans will appreciate the return of the assisted-living mob to assist the intrepid reporter uncover who wants her dead and with her heart. Readers will enjoy the antics of the reporter and her super Clark Kent as she works finding the news worth printing while he works saving the newspaper.
