Hot Tropics & Cold Feet
Diann Hunt keeps getting better and better. I chuckled through Hot Flashes & Cold Cream. RV There Yet? held side-splitting moments, but Hot Tropics & Cold Feet has topped them both! I howled with laughter. When Maggie, Lily, Jill and Louise hit the beach, things start happening. With antics like escaping a resident alligator, parasailing, and rescuing baby sea turtles, you'll laugh your way through this book. I had a hard time putting it down. Part of me wanted to keep turning pages, while the other part told me if I didn't stop soon, I'd turn the last one. And I didn't want it to end. I was having too good of a time with the 'girls.'  But willpower lost the battle and I read it in two sittings. Well I had to get SOME sleep. Any woman with a group of close girlfriends will see herself in this bunch. What I didn't expect were the tears Hunt elicited from me, when Lily's new husband is moving her away from Charming, Indiana--and Maggie. I've moved away from close girlfriends before, and it brought back sweet memories of long-standing friendships. From health-nut Jill, wrinkle-free Louise, indecisive Lily to hot-flashing Maggie, these characters truly will leap off the page and into your hearts. Well, maybe leap is too strong a word. Jog? No, not Maggie--too much like exercise. Well, anyway, you know what I mean. You'll love them. Hot Tropics & Cold Feet receives Novel Reviews' top recommendation--a 5 and goes into the line-up for my pick as book of the year for 2007. This one will be hard for anyone else to beat.

Hot Tropics and Cold Feet is probably the best book I've read. The Story introduces you to 4 friends who embark on a vacation/adventure in an attempt to help one of the friends figure out if her coming marriage is what she truly should do. Their escapades are the kind that makes you wish you could be a part of this awesome adventure and friendship. This book has the most fun, real, lovable, relatable characters I've ever read. I laughed my head off as I read, getting to know their special characteristics, quirks and yes, even flaws!!

Diann Hunt proves life begins at forty-five, and you don't begin to hit your stride till fifty. Her characters are zany, witty, eclectic, deep, gritty ... in other words: real, warts and all. But the book isn't a piece of fluff. There's a message of healing in its pages, a throwing off of old baggage, and trust. All wrapped up in one delicious, hilarious read.

Heavily character driven, the story unfolds at an unhurried pace, allowing the reader to get inside Charlene's head and know her. By the time you've finished half a chocolate chip cookie and a cup of coffee, you're sitting beside Char at the kitchen table, walking with her through the maples, tapping trees and getting sticky hands.

What I found so interesting is how Hunt wrote Be Sweet in first person from Charlene's point of view, yet you know each character intimately. Though each is seen from Char's perspective, each is fully developed and has their own unique voice.

The antics will keep you chuckling all the way through, from Viney's paranoia to Janni's strange behavior. Toss in a Harley, that hunky dentist, a couple of hormonal college kids, and you've got one of the best reads of the year. Grab something maple, preferably covered in chocolate, and enjoy.
This reviewer gives Be Sweet her highest recommendation. It's a 5 star book.

RV There Yet?

This is what reviewers are saying about RV There Yet?

Diann Hunt brings readers another hilarious look at growing older as a menopausal woman.  The first novel, HOT FLASHES AND COLD CREAM, is a delightful book, and now RV THERE YET? is another look at this stage of a woman's life.  Both books are stand-alone and are fabulously funny reads.  Bugs, bears, and a bird named Cobbler all add to the silliness, along with hot flashes, an RV that's seen its better days, and a chocolate addiction.  This fun inspirational about faith and friendship will make for some enjoyable summer reading, so be sure to add it to your reading list! --Romance Junkies Reviewer, Sherri Myers

Hot Flashes and Cold Cream

Hot Flashes and Cold Cream:
“This novel is absolutely delightful! Indeed Diann Hunt manages to recreate a significant stage of life that holds the angst without burdening the reader with it and with just enough humor and inspiration to grip the reader so that one doesn't want to put the book down and certainly is sorry (but so dearly touched) when it ends.”
