This was the worst book in the world. Even for fluffy non-thinking books, it was crap. I'd rather read Mills & Boon, to be honest - this was like Mills & Boon but without the sex scenes and therefore completely pointless.

I liked the verbal images of Colonial Williamsburg, with its smoking chimneys & cozy fires. The scene in the hot dog place is the most comical of the book.

This was an oldie but a goodie, pre Stephanie Plum romance by Janet Evanovich. In this story love at first sight is in evidence. It takes place in Williamsburg, VA. Megan Murphy is a potter/historical greeter who ran away from her hometown to start over. She had been left at the alter by her previous fiancee and she wanted a new beginning. Patrick Hunter, a pediatrician with a curious rabbit has just moved to Williamsburg to take over a practice from a retiring physician. When Megan rescues Pat's floppy-eared rabbit, they end up in his house together. One of his patients, assuming they are married, leaves her baby for them to take care of for a couple of weeks, with no explanation. The two of them become quite close while taking care of Timmy. They actually become very enamoured of one another and fall in love, although they do not want to admit it. When both sets of parents show up for Thanksgiving, the plans for their wedding are by the mothers begin to take place. Although they are in love, neither of them is ready to get married. They play along in jest, but is there some truth there? I love the humor that Evanovich always uses in her books. The main characters play off each other beautifully and are easy to like. A cute romance for the holidays.

Some cute parts but it was too schmaltzy for me. IMO could have used a Lulu to spice things up a bit.

When I downloaded this book, for some reason, I thought it was a murder mystery. Boy, was I wrong! This book and genre(romance) is not my cup of (arsenic-poisoned) tea.

Oh my! What an awful waste of paper and ink! My book discussion group read this book last November. It was chosen mainly for the title because the meeting date was near Thanksgiving. I did not read it then because I was going to be out of town on our meeting date. A friend was donating her copy to a used book sale that she and I were working so I told her I would read it since I missed it last year.

The young woman and man in the love story meet cute, immediately fall in lust, and within a couple of days he asks her to marry him. She has had a couple of broken engagements and has decided that she can never get married so she turns him down, but they have sex and sort of develop a relationship. In typical love story fashion, the course of true love does not run smooth. When she finally decides she does want to marry him (after knowing him for a week or less--the fact that he is a doctor doesn't hurt), he has decided that he has too many debts with medical school loans, etc. and he can't afford to get married. What I can't imagine is what my book club possibly discussed about this book. The next time I see my friend, I am definitely going to ask her!

Several years ago I started reading Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. I got halfway through book 10 or 11 and decided that I couldn't stand to read another word. I understand from friends who are still reading the series that Stephanie still can't choose between Ranger and Joe. This is definitely my last Evanovich book!

If I had to sum this book up in one word it would be "random." The plot goes in about a million different directions very quickly which made me feel like I had missed something. They weren't really dual plots. It was just the story taking a very, very unexpected twist with no warning and it made the whole thing seem choppy. I had high hopes for this book since I love the Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum series, but this one fell well short of that mark.

There were some redeeming qualities. The characters were likable and the dialogue was witty. I also liked the setting of Colonial Williamsburg, probably because I've been there.

Janet, you've done it again! A light hearted romantic romp with a crazy family, slippery turkey, pregnant horse and a rabbit, all set to Thanksgiving in a reenactment village. Tons of fun for a quick read while the turkey cooks.


Ok, I’ve reread it again (2017) and I still love it. Even though I wanted to smack the hero upside the head a few times and shake the heroine, (I may sound a bit violent, sorry) it’s still a fun romantic romp.

After being abandoned by a second fiancé, Megan swears off marriage. Then she finds herself playing family with Pat, the town's pediatrician and Tim, a baby thrust into her arms by a desperate mother who immediately runs off.

This isn't a great book. In truth it's not really all that good, but it has some great moments. For a book written in 1988 it holds up quite well, and it was worth the effort but it definitely lacks the polish of her Stephanie Plum novels.

Although there were several typos in this book I still enjoyed it. It was a short fun holiday read.

Awful, just awful. I've been growing increasingly disappointed with Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books as none of the characters have shown any growth. I love holiday themed books, however, and since there aren't too many centered around Thanksgiving, I thought I'd give this one a try. I couldn't even finish it. Obviously, most stories require a little suspension of belief, but this requires a whole lot of it! This young mother leaves her baby with baby's pediatrician, and this Doctor keeps him and takes care of him along with a woman he's just met and doesn't know if he can trust? I don't think so--he would have called social services. Reading through the reviews here, I see that this is actually one of Janet E's early books, but sometimes new authors deliver amazing first books. I also found this one listed on Amazon under Holiday mysteries. I got half way through it, and the only mystery was why I was still reading it.

Thanksgiving is a pre-Plum romance by popular American author, Janet Evanovich. Megan Murphy is a potter who supplements her income dressed in period costume in her xx town. When she rescues a floppy-eared rabbit with strange appetites, its owner, paediatrician Patrick Hunter is entranced by this quirky redhead. But despite the attraction between them, neither wants to get involved: Megan is thrice-bitten and therefore involvement-shy; Pat is in no position to support a wife or the children he would love to eventually have. Sweet, sexy and funny, but just a touch too drawn out.
