This was a very fun audiobook. I brought it into the house to finish as I was cleaning and my husband kept laughing at the little bits he was hearing. He finally said he thought the book was pretty funny. I really enjoy Mary Kay Andrews especially as an audiobook.

I really don't know what kind of fools they take women for to play out utterly ridiculous crap!The hero is like all other stupid films: he hurts the person, again and again and still she is desperately in love with him. Deterred from marrying 'the crazy lady' he returns yet again to Annjane, his ex wife. Of course the crazy villain plays the I am pregnant card and because he doesn't live in the 21st century and he hasn't EVER heard the story he falls for it! Completely unoriginal. I have no idea...

The kinds of book we enjoy really are matter of personal taste. I downloaded this audiobook and actually listened to the entire book, being to lazy to download another. Why one star? I was not able to relate to the dysfunctional characters and the illogical story line. I kept asking myself questions about the plot. For example, what exactly makes Anna Jean so important to the company? She apparently sat on her butt in her office for five years, feeling sorry for herself, watching sales decline a...

Spring Fever was a slow-starter for me. It had an incredible amount of back story that dragged on and was confusing at times. (I found myself getting lost between the past/present and having to re-read.) In fairness, most of the back story was needed to support the plot and romance. Eventually the story picked up pace about half-way through and I grew to like Annajane and Mason. Reading about the adorable antics of 6-year-old Sophie and her pink pocketbook made it all worth it.Anything written b...

3,5 starsI really don't know what to say about Spring Fever. I had fun reading it, it had good Summer vibes, the best kind for this time of year. Most of the time I found Mason to be a dumb man but then, later, came THAT TWIST and, oh my gosh, I couldn't believe it, it's the kind of thing that changes ones perspective about everything.Ok, it had that twist and some other revelations but the story itself wasn't near as good as the others I read previously by this author. It was about family's sec...

Fever by Mary Kay Andrews (Summer Rental)*ARC Supplied by Publisher*This is a book about second chances It is about when life hands us a ‘do-over’ do we have the depth of character and maturity to take a chance on getting things right the second time around. It is about Mason’s integrity and his abiding love of a family business that will keep a town from going under. It is about Annajane's ability to love and trust someone that she has a few doubts about.Annajane and Mason have just such a chan...

Not great literature, but fun enough to listen to in the car between destinations. I met the author once, and was totally charmed by her,so it's fun to pick up one of her books occasionally. Also liked the bits fo soft drink company-isms, as I once dated the son of a VP from once of our national chains. The house had the soda logo all over the place. On my first visit, there were a slew of gifts for me with the logo, too: tee shirts, tote bag, pillow, jewlery box, bracelet, earrings, socks... "W...

Spring Fever starts with Annajane Hudgens attending the wedding of her ex-husband, Mason Bayless. They've been divorced for several years. She's engaged to a new, terrific guy, ready to start her new life with the man she loves. However, not everything goes as she planned...Wow, this book moved on reaaaaaaly slow... ...rambling on and on with no good flow or real focus. I didn't like that there were so many flashbacks. By the time author reach chapter five, the wedding circus still goes on. I ha...

Written for : Beyond Reading3.5 starsSpring Fever was so essentially... sweet. When I read the blurb, I thought it was going to be an explosive reuinion - exes arguing and rehashing the past to move on. I didn't expect it to be such a tentative, loving joining. I think the characters were well-rounded through and through, with Annajane positively shining as a strong, dedicated heroine (despite ditching her marriage) and Mason being as honest as he was. Background characters tend to lack depth,

Another great Mary Kay Andrews story. She keeps you guessing till the very end and all ends well as usual. Loved Annajane's feisty bestfriends Pokey.

I am not quite sure what I thought. As some of my other reviews note, I enjoy love stories. But lately, I keep picking up ones where the conflict is so contrived that I just can't feel any sympathy for the characters. What I don't understand is what was going on in the five years that Annajane and Mason were split up. Five years...is a long freakin' time!!!I find it very hard to believe that anyone could stand working in the same office, pining over someone for five long years. And then actually...

This has probably been my favorite MK Andrews book yet. I'm such a sucker for Cheerwine though that I just really loved the storyline involving the fictitious Quixie beverage which was written based on Cheerwine. The main characters feels about Quixie mirror mine about Cheerwine, so this book was just perfect for me. I finished it while at the beach, and it is a great light beach read!

This is a MUST READ y'all. If you only read one MKA book, let it be this one - please!I absolutely love MKA, and I think this is my favorite book of hers that I've read so far. She is such a talented writer and has such a beautiful way of captivating the reader's attention to a story. I love how she slowly and carefully weaves details and backstory for the characters throughout her books. I love that she constantly includes humerus southern-isms and names into the stories, which made them slight...

I'm going to dnf this with no rating because it's not really the book's fault that it isn't a story I'm interested in. Andrews spins a great story and the location is evocative and the relationship dynamics complex and in ways that have great potential.My problem is that I'm primarily a romance reader and this is very firmly chick-lit. The romance is developing painfully slowly and could be resolved with a conversation and a little charity. And it isn't even that the author is artificially keepi...

I'm surprised by how invested I found myself in this book. I was fussing at the characters when they did something stupid, was thrilled when they finally did the right thing, was shocked when certain things were revealed. I loved the gay couple that ran the motel, they were fun and I would have liked to see a bit more of them.

I have really enjoyed some of her other books. I love a book that can make me laugh out loud and I have always found this with her books. This one...eh...not so much. Although it was an easy read and kept my interest I am missing the wit brought forth in her previous books. I totally disliked Mason. I need a stronger male character and I found him lacking and kind of a wuss. I did get that the main characters loved each other but didn't really know why. And if their love was as enduring as portr...

Chick lit books. I have a love/hate relationship with these books. I love the familiarity of them, the comfort, and the mindless page turning. But they, like many genres, have a formula. And it almost always involves a happy and far-fetched ending. In the latest book I devoured, compliments of the public library, this was certainly the case once again. In "Spring Fever" by Mary Kay Andrews, our protagonist, Annajane Hudgens, believes she is over her ex-husband, Mason. Mason, of course, is good l...

This is the 3rd book in the last few weeks that I've read by Andrews. In fact, it was a review of this book that caused me to read the other ones because the older books were available at the library while I waited (i.e., name placed on the wait list). In some ways, in an uncertain world where people's real stories often turn out horribly, it's nice to read some books where the ending is happy but plausible. This book falls in this category. Sometimes that bad things that people do catch up with...

Spring Fever is most definitely Andrews' best work, to date (though I can't quite reconcile the title to the story. I suppose if everyone was at as much of a loss when attempting to come up with another title as I seem to be, it's fitting enough. Still...)I could not put this one down, and enjoyed every minute of it. The classic tale of family secrets, sibling rivalry, small-town drama (gossip), long lost love, people who are not at all what they seem to be...My husband kept interrupting me, ask...
