5.0 out of 5 stars
Romantic comedy of the best kind, 18 Mar 2008
By Michelle Schwartz "malbrec92" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Pajama Girls of Lambert Square (Hardcover)
"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.

Routine Romance Novel, 6 July 2010
By Diane Williams - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Pajama Girls of Lambert Square (Kindle Edition)
I was disappointed that an author like Lippi who is capable of crafting the Wilderness Series (under her pen name Sara Donati) would offer her readers little more than a silly romance novel. The characters where more like caricatures of southern life, each too quirky to be compelling. I'm sure this was much faster and easier to write than the well researched Historical Fiction she has done in the past, but it sure left me wanting strong believable characters like Elizabeth and Nathanial.

Lovely Southern Romance, 2 Mar 2008
By Shannzu - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Pajama Girls of Lambert Square (Hardcover)
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.
