Review: I think Ruthie Knox is an alien
Rating: 5 out of 5

Since I started reading romance novels 20 years ago (yipes!), I've only found a handful of authors that write as consistently well as Ruthie Knox.  It's not just the lure of her admirable diction and nigh-perfect grammar.  Her characters are always three-dimesional: they are interesting and "different" but still somehow manage to maintain a certain curb appeal.Big Boy feels dark and edgy, even though ultimately the problems that Tyler and Mandy are facing are not really sinister at all.  I really enjoyed the way that Knox made the book feel like a bunch of shadowy images being slowly assembled together to create a whole form, and in the end, neither protagonist's problems were so insurmountable that I felt like it was going to be hard for them to stay together.But I do think Knox is an alien, because I cannot think of any other reason for her consistently awesome stories.  It is superhuman (interpret that as you will about what I think of aliens.)
