Madden “Mad” Forrest is a Son of Thanatus, a secret order rumored to be descended from gods. The members possess the ability to hear the souls of the dead, and they travel the country speaking for those without a voice, helping to lay them to rest. After a particularly stressful job, Mad heads to New Orleans and picks up a hot twink in the hotel bar.

Josh McGreggor is out for a night of pleasure before heading off to a new job. The perfect man who invites him over to his table is the answer to his desires. What neither expects is the strength of their feelings after one night’s passion or that, come the light of day, they can’t bear to part.
Can these two men navigate through the minefield that arises from their roles to find love, or will they be destined to continue their lives all alone?

He can hear the souls of the dead. Sometimes it’s not a pretty sound.

This is my first foray into the world of Joyee Flynn. I’d seen plenty of reviews and couldn’t wait to nab a book for myself. The plot is unique and filled with twists and turns. I liked meeting a new group of characters and seeing how they dealt with their gifts. This was a quick read and it had more than a few interesting moments.

Madden “Mad” Forrest has a tough job. He’s got paranormal abilities and it takes a lot out of him when he’s using them. He’s also in the market for a good time. Can’t say as I blame him, I mean, a man needs some recreation. I liked his non-commital qualities–just one night, something fun, get the tension out. Hey, he’s believeable in that respect. Physiotherapists also have an important role in rehabilitation, such as helping people who viagra prescriptions online have had strokes to relearn basic movements.

Mad’s cute and Josh is sinful, so putting them together seems natural.

But I had a few quibbles with this story as well. It’s told in first person narrative, so there’s more than a little telling versus showing. I drifted from the story a couple times because I didn’t feel immersed in it. I also didn’t get to see things from Josh’s point of view and I think that would’ve added a degree of depth the story lacked. Now I realize it’s from Mad’s point of view, but the sex scenes felt rushed. I got the idea they were in the throes of passion, but I didn’t feel it. I wanted more discovery, more time to realize that they belonged together, not such quickness. It happened almost too fast and I struggled to overcome my disbelief. There are also a lot of characters, though I’m betting Ms. Flynn will give each one his own story and kudos.

The story itself is unique and the characters are interesting. I am certainly looking for more in this author’s backlist as she certainly writes some sizzling hot male/male scenes. Grab a copy of My Maven, My Everything for a smoking good time.

She outran her memories. She couldn’t outrun her past.

Legacy, Book 3

Shelley is a killer. Never mind that her “crime” freed her from thirty-five years of brutal captivity—the bounty hunters on her trail don’t care. For the first time in her life, she is on her own, free to put the past behind her and explore what it means to be a werewolf.

James Riley is dead tired. After a week untangling legal and financial affairs his brother’s death left behind, he’s feeling every ounce of his new responsibility as Wolf Creek pack alpha. He’s not too tired, though, to notice his sexy waitress is a werewolf—one that strangely doesn’t recognize him as one of her own kind.

After his questions rattle her composure and get her fired, Shelley figures the least James can do is drive her to the next town, but he wants more. He wants to take her home. And despite her fear, something inside her is irresistibly drawn to his commanding yet gentle presence.

James is willing to give Shelley all the time she needs to embrace her heritage, her sexuality, and eventually his love. But her past will not be denied…and her secrets demand a price paid in blood.

Shelley is a werewolf on the run. After being captured for some thirty-plus years, she’s attempting to adjust to a free life. Working as a waitress and trying to piece things back together, she’s shocked when she meets James. He’s a werewolf who recognizes what she is – even if she doesn’t recognize the same in him. One thing leads to another, Shelley loses her job, and James takes her under his protection. As he attempts to uncover her secrets, he slowly brings her out of her shell. Today on the store shelves we have many alternative kinds of milk such cialis in india as; almond, coconut, soy, or rice to choose from.

One of the safest and best viagra cheapest online ways to improve male sexual condition. However, her past is a haunted and tragic one, and it will take time, patience, and understanding for James to claim Shelley as his own.

Legacy Found, the third book in the Legacy series, has a promising premise. You have a scarred woman, a strong, alpha hero, and the bad guys who want to put an end to their happily ever after. From the start, you learn the tortures Shelley endured, which are horrific to say the least. As an older alpha, James is the perfect man to protect and guide her. Although he’s mourned the loss of his mate for years, he feels he’s been given a second chance with Shelley. Their chemistry is immediate, even though Shelley fights it, and you know it won’t be long until they find comfort in each other’s arms.

The only criticisms to be found in the work are that it tells us what’s happening throughout, instead of showing us, and the several instances in which the past of the hero is repeated. James recalls his former mate many times, as well as his disbelief that he could find love in the arms of another woman. It became unnecessary, as the reader is more than aware of his feelings. Fortunately, the interactions between Shelley and James overshadow the negative aspects of the book.

Shelley is a likeable heroine, and James is delicious as a hero who will defend her at all costs. Legacy Found shines as they cave to their feelings, accept them, and discover a world of pleasure and acceptance.

Fans of sizzling paranormal romance will enjoy Legacy Found. The twists and turns will keep you guessing, while the danger ups the ante and keeps things interesting. If you’ve not read this series, be sure to place them on your TBR pile.

I’m looking forward to more by N.J. Walters.

It’s only her first day on the new job and already fairy Holly Tucket is in over her head as she attempts to use her powers to turn super nerd Alex Nelson into a lady killer. Little does she know that Alex isn’t who he pretends to be, and when it comes to making women melt, he doesn’t need any help.

Security expert Alex Nichlaus has been undercover for four months and is putting the finishing touches on a smuggling case that has kept him secluded and celibate. When a sexy redhead shows up on his balcony claiming to be a fairy sent to teach him how to please a woman, he just can’t bring himself to send her away.

Forget magic wands and grey-haired buns, these Naughty Godmothers come in stilettos and thongs. Inept at dealing with women? Uncomfortable in your own skin? Not to worry! Your very own Naughty Godmother is here to teach you all you need to know.

It is always amusing when fairies are portrayed as calculating and political rather than the light and airy playful creatures they are so often taken for. With these Fairies, like in politics, the higher up you are, the more authority you have, the more calculating you become. Fairy Queen Lucieene is no exception. Even though you never meet Fairy Queen Lucieene in this story, her presence is felt through out the entire book. Holly would have never even considered being a Naughty Godmother if it wasn’t for her mother’s (Queen Lucieene) influence. Although it might seem to be a strange career choice for a mother to want her daughter to take, being a Naughty Godmother is much more prestigious than being a Tooth Fairy.

Holly’s just been given a promotion, albeit not one that she particularly wants. But she tackles her new job the way she handles everything else in her life, with a wry sense of humor, a determination to do her best, and a sincere desire to help people. So with her friend Mila’s words of wisdom ringing in her ears, “Color coordinate, emphasize your assets, and never leave home without your stilettos and a thong”, Holly attacks her first job as a Naughty Godmother with a charming gracelessness and a complete lack of guile. From start to finish Holly does pretty much everything wrong, beginning with picking out a man that needs no help in the women department and ending with breaking the most cardinal of all Naughty Godmother Rules: Never sleep with the client. It’s a true delight watching Holly bumble and stumble her way through teaching Alex the art of pleasuring a woman, all the while watching Alex stumble along in his attempts not to show Holly exactly how much he already knows about the subject. How common erectile dysfunction is? Well, it is very important generic viagra prices valsonindia.com to resolve the problem at the exact time without delaying. The pill of discount levitra rx must be administered just with any natural liquid and not with any sort liquor or drinks. You should look out for potential red flags such as extremely cheap prices, no licensing for generic levitra their pharmacy, and upfront payment. This is not a regular occurence yet needs to be remembered. cialis prescription is a pharmaceutical that you take just when required, by and large men should utilize the drug thirty minutes or one prior hour a sex.

I really like how Holly and Mila’s friendship is portrayed, I only wish you got to see more of it. However, the two women complement each other very well, Mila being brash and bold where Holly is a bit more like the “girl next door.” It is so very easy to imagine all sorts of trouble that these two get into. I don’t want to give anything away but I have to say that Mila’s influence at a very pivotal moment is priceless, it is the perfect combination of her love for Holly and her wicked sense of humor.

Alex doesn’t quite know what’s going on when Holly quite literally falls into his arms after appearing from nowhere. Not one to believe in fairies and magic, he’s sure this is some elaborate practical joke that his colleagues are playing on him, but after getting a glimpse of Holly in her thong, it’s a practical joke he is more than willing to play along with. Being deep undercover and not having had sex for the last four months helps him cement Holly’s opinion that he is inept at dealing with women. This all works out well until the truth comes out, as it always does, leaving Alex bewildered at the existence of fairies and Holly hurt that he lied to her.

Alex is a great guy if a bit literal at times, but that is what makes him so good at his job. Undercover work is hard especially when you have to stay in character for such a long time. So it was very entertaining to see his internal monologue, warring with himself, going back and forth between what he wanted to do and what his character would/should do. You have to admire a guy for being able to maintain his cover when faced with the likes of Holly in her thong. The only thing that seemed really out of character for Alex were some of his emotional outburst after the truth came out. We all hate for men to be premature, either in the bedroom or out, while Alex usually doesn’t have a problem with the former there is at least one instance when he has a problem with the latter. Again I don’t want to give anything away but I will say that some things are better if you wait.

Naughty Godmother is a cute and sexy story that will make sure you never look at a Fairy Godmother in the same way again. This unique twist to the traditional fairy tale brings a new meaning to Happily Ever After.

Although Casey Keller loves his life as a YMCA counselor, making a difference in the lives of inner-city kids, his personal life is a mess. He loves Adam, his live-in boyfriend, but he can’t deal with him. He misses Nathan, an old lover and current friend, but there’s a distance between them Casey can’t overcome. He’s starting to fear that he’s the one constantly ruining any chance he has for happiness. But life is about to change: a trip to the California mountains to escape the pressures of city life will introduce him to a world he never knew existed, where creatures out of mythology and fiction roam and men run in packs.

Lyn Gala has written a story of love, trust and secrets.

Casey is happy working with the disadvantaged boys at the local YMCA in Los Angeles. He’s proud of the progress some of the boys have made, and delighted when two of ‘his boys’ get college scholarships based on academics. And he’s very comfortable staying safe in his nice snug ‘closet’. He knows he couldn’t do his job, working with boys, if it became known he’s gay.

This causes a lot of friction between Casey, and his current lover, Adam, an over the top art student who pushes the limits at every turn. Casey realizes that Adam is not his type, and that he really doesn’t see a future with Adam. Only one man has ever really rocked his world, and that man has chosen to maintain a strictly platonic relationship with Casey.

Nathan is a forest ranger, and welcomes Casey and the boys for day trips up to the mountain, but keeps Casey at arms length-until one fateful day when Casey shows up on the mountain unannounced, looking for some peace after the nasty breakup with Adam. He gets so much more than he ever bargained for, when he encounters Vince in the woods. Vince believes Casey is like him, and Casey suddenly learns of the existence of werewolves, a reality he was not ready to accept.

When Nathan explains things to Casey, he encourages Casey to move far away, for his own safety as well as for the safety of Nathan’s small pack of three ‘misfit’ wolves. But Casey realizes that Nathan is ‘the one’ and tries to convince Nathan to turn him so they can be together. Can Casey convince Nathan he wants this? Does Nathan even want Casey or is it one-sided attraction? Can Casey pass the control challenge necessary to prove he’s ready?

Ms. Gala has created a world filled with sympathetic characters, each with their own desires and all with secrets and doubts. In the first place, most cats do viagra uk not carry this bacterium. generic levitra sale The essential property is that it takes care your ED. In this age and day, sildenafil 10mg it is not a problem in patient. Online stores ensure privacy viagra pill for woman apart from offering effective treatment for sexual weakness in men, this herbal pill also offers cure for general debility, fatigue, low sperm count, low libido and early ejaculation. None of her characters are perfect, but all are extremely likable. Who wouldn’t love a werewolf with a summer cold and insecurities? I liked that she set her story, not in some out of the way municipality, but in and around Los Angeles. I also liked that although she has four hot guys, each has his own insecurities to overcome.

Casey is, if not happy, at least content to be in the closet. He loves working with the boys who need his guidance, and knows it would change if his lifestyle were exposed. He realizes that his choice of Adam as a lover was a rebound from his one night of heaven with Nathan, but just doesn’t have the energy to say the words to make the split. I liked Casey’s dedication to his boys at the YMCA, and his determination to be there to keep them moving forward.

Nathan is alpha of his tiny pack of three, and very lonely. He realized after one night of passion with Casey, that it could be more, but Casey is human and knows nothing of his life. He is determined to protect Casey from the darker side, the part of his life he shares with only two others: Vince, the newly turned wolf, and Amadi, the African wolf with a secret past. Nathan knows Casey is his mate, but hesitates to turn him, fearing Casey may not survive the change. I love his protective nature, willing to sacrifice his happiness to protect the man he is growing to love.

This is a story of finding ‘the one’ regardless of gender or species. It is a love story, sweet and tender at times, with two people learning about each other: what pleases them and what they have endured and survived to become the men they are now. It is also a hot and sexy adventure with an alpha and a stubborn ‘meed’, both wanting the same thing-each other. I enjoyed the passion here, and would love to read the stories of the rest of Nathan’s small but interesting pack in the future. What is a ‘meed’, you ask? You’ll need to read Long Lonely Howl to find out.

Caught between duty and sweet temptation, what’s a wolf to do?

Gunnar has a job to do. He was brought into the pack to be mated to Alfred and that’s what he’s going to do. Beta’s have always been charged with taking control of the trouble makers in their packs, and Gunnar is going to do his duty by his new pack if it kills him.

Just because his eyes constantly stray towards another wolf, that’s no reason to alter his plans. His alphas might believe in love matches, but Gunnar believes in duty – no matter how sweet the temptation to let his thoughts wander to a very different wolf might be.

This is a story that starts off with a sensual bang between two unlikely werewolves. The Duty of a Beta will definitely keep you turning the pages until the very end just to see what will happen.

Gunner and Talbot are complete opposites. This is a story that runs along the lines of Romeo and Juliet. Two people in love yet circumstances and rankings in life keep them apart. The pull between these two men is so evident that the scenes they share are just jumping with erotic energy.

Gunner, being a beta wolf, was brought to the pack to mate with a gamma wolf. Little did he know the omega of the pack was what he really wanted.

He’s been treated like a weakling all his life due to his small stature. His life is turned upside down when Gunner joins his pack. The overbearing nature of Gunner attracts Talbot in ways he can’t explain but he knows he wants to explore.

The controlling nature of Gunner complemented the submissive nature of Talbot. This is a story that will have you guessing. Will they or won’t they? Will honor and duty override love? Or will love conquer all in the end?

This book had a different take on the omega wolf that I really liked. In most books the omega wolf is treated very poorly but not in Kim Dare’s werewolf world. Talbot was treated with respect and loved by all others. The one thing I wished there was more of in this story was more dialogue between Gunner and Talbot. In the story we get more of what they were thinking and feeling versus what they said to one another. Overall, though, this was an excellent read. I highly recommend it.

Problem is, Scarlett has developed amnesia from the trauma and can’t remember anything about the accident, including the mystery villain. And before she’s even gotten a chance to recover, she finds out her new lovers are Texas longhorn shape-shifters claiming to be her destined mates!

Now the twins and triplets must go off for a weekend, leaving her with the two oldest Lenox brothers, Leo and Byron. Leo is in charge of the Lenox family, and now, for the weekend, he’s in charge of Scarlett. She’s thrilled to learn a few lessons from the alpha, as together they explore another layer of Scarlett’s newfound sexuality.

The adventure continues the morning after Scarlett’s dramatic rescue and the ensuing mating ritual with her seven sexy longhorn beaus. With five of the brothers away, Scarlett is left to the tender ministrations of the eldest twins, Byron and the alpha male of the family, Leo. With Byron on calf watch, it’s up to Leo to care for Scarlett and further her budding sexual education, something Scarlett is only too willing to participate and instigate.

Scarlett still suffers from temporary amnesia and is helpless against the efforts of her unknown evil nemesis. Despite the care and attention of her shifter mates, it’s while Leo and Byron are otherwise occupied, that fate comes calling for Scarlett yet again…

With culmination of physical intimacy with all her shifter mates at one time, a vision of her past returns to Scarlett and with it, the beginnings of another pathway down the road to recovery and discovery.

One character that really stood out for me is the wicked and evil stepmother. She is just as delightfully dastardly and debauched as could possibly be hoped for! Ms Newmar weaves her characters from grit and brawn, and a rawness that only seems fitting since all her heroes are bulls!

There’s much humor in this book too and aside from it only being 80 pages long, there’s action a plenty and the sex is hot, heavy and frequent. Ms. Newmar has set the stage for her next book about Scarlett and her longhorn lovers and it will be interesting to see what challenges and direction she takes them on. On the whole though, while I found the story likable and the premise entertaining, it was also rather forgettable. But if you like it light, fun, with a kinky twist on an old classic, Leo’s Crown might be just what you’re after.

Zetithians have a feline gene that gives the males remarkable sexual prowess. Refugee Dax is no exception—but as a virgin, he has no idea how to use it. His fumbling attempts at romance fail to tempt the beautiful Ava, but he is determined to learn the art of love. Let the seduction begin…

Virgin blew me away with its entertaining story line, exciting possibilities and more purr-fectly charming Zetithians for fans to swoon over. Ms. Brooks might have heard me squealing in delight when I found out that Virgin is a continuation of the series that I fell in love with. I’m pretty sure I was that loud in my excitement. This is most definitely a standalone read because it picks up with one of the survivors of that ship at the end of Hero. I met a lot of new and fascinating characters and I commend the author and her creative talents.

What am I referring to? Every time the author introduces a new character, he or she appears so naturally and provides ample opportunities for the hero and heroine through their interactions with them to grow, and for the plot to move forward. Another thing with Ms. Brooks’ writing is her sense of humor. If her characters can pull off a joke or pun or have dialogue scenes with witticisms that make a reader roll on the floor, the author finds every one of them and uses them to perfection. In this latest book, her sense of fun and the ridiculous is as sharp as ever. All someone has to do is mention Ms. Brooks’ name and I break out into a grin.

When the book starts, a reader meets the heroine, Ava, first. I got the biggest kick out of her but don’t let her anywhere near your frying pans. She’s a woman with smokin’ hot passions and I’m not talking about her cooking. She’s courageous, clever, quick on her feet and even more alien than the past heroines in the series. I am in love with her hair. Kudos to the author for making something so ordinary into the most amusing, unique and captivating feature a heroine has ever had. It is a brilliant stroke of genius and is another testimony to Ms. Brooks’ vivid imagination.

Dax is one of the newly found Zetithians and he’s so dreamy. I really enjoyed reading about his falling in love and how he goes about it. So with the help of this super viagra active men are in the capacity to purchase it. Whatever the age group of man is, do not have the potential to cause dependence on them. viagra sale Chronic indigestion: When an individual suffers from this cheapest price on viagra problem. purchase tadalafil india Naturopathic anesthetic developed a band-aid for low animal admiration in the anatomy of a tablet. It’s not perfect and that made it all the more special. I also enjoyed the role he ends up playing. It was sort of mystical and very heroic. What makes it even better? He wasn’t doing it for the glory but something a lot more basic and romantic, love. My favorite description of him comes from Ava: “He was a big purring kitten of a man…” How can a reader not fall in love with him too?

I had an absolute blast with the secondary characters. Waroun constantly gave me the giggles, Kots was creepy and totally cool, Threldigan is a character I’d love to know more about, and Quinn was a character with a surprising bit of depth, after he took a bath.

Remember I mentioned fun dialogue? This line had me in stitches and is just a small example of the fun that is in store for readers throughout the entire book. “…you want to get dinner over with so you can get back to the ship and play snuggle bunnies with Super Kitten.” There are so many moments of wonderful repartee between Dax, Ava and the other characters that it made reading this story a breeze. I never knew who was going to say what and it guaranteed my absolute focus on the story. I didn’t want to miss a thing.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t tease readers with the hot factor in the book. Yes, the powerful snard is back but I also think the author challenged herself a bit with some of the physical relationship scenes this time around. It’s really eyebrow raising and quite erotic and yet even in the midst of all those increased pheromones, some scenes get tickled with the brush of humor to an enjoyable degree. I loved it!

It’s not all purrs, bites and sex in trees; there are some seriously nasty villains chasing Dax and Ava. At one point I thought there was one group but as I read I figured out that there were two factions chasing my new favorite hero and heroine and I didn’t know which group was worse and who was going to get to them first. It was a great bit of writing because it kept me on the edge of my seat. I liked the idea that things the main characters thought they knew were actually mistruths and the revelations were gripping. The confrontation was full of action and crisp writing and I felt like I was right in the thick of it. It’s another strong point in this book’s favor.

Virgin is high caliber entertainment from beginning to end – it hit all my happy buttons and I couldn’t put it down. I continue to be amazed as to the quality and vibrant imagery painted within its pages, whether it be flora, fauna or characters. Ms. Brooks has consistently written well thought out intricate stories that amuse and entertain and Virgin continues the trend. It’s been an awesome reading experience and I am so glad the author has more coming out. I simply can’t get enough of that snard!

Book Passion… Yeah, Baby!

No pastime is more pleasurable to me than reading a book as long as the story is one that I can’t put down. Sometimes, though, I have to read five or six books which are merely okay before I find the one that really carries me away. I enjoy writing for that same pleasure. It helps me fill the yearning for a story that satisfies. And if my stories don’t satisfy me, how can I expect them to satisfy someone else?

Yet, I’m aware that everyone has different tastes. A book that grips my imagination may not be one you would find particularly enthralling. I’m largely an historical fiction fan, dabbling in contemporary romance. You may be a sci-fi enthusiast. Still, isn’t it wonderful that there is the online world of book lovers out there, where we are able to discover kindred spirits and form virtual book clubs or enjoy simple discussions?

Those of us who are passionate about books sometimes seem a little odd to the rest of society; but, oh well. We’ll enjoy our imaginary getaways anyhow.

What are the titles of some books you’ve been absolutely passionate about?

It’s been great to be here on LASR this week, sharing a little about how I visit my book passion. Before I bid you adieu, I’ll leave you with this opening excerpt from The Green Veil. Of course, I hope it’ll leave you wanting more. But if historical stories aren’t your bag, maybe you can stop by my site to say hello and take a closer look at my debut contemporary romance Heart Not Taken.
In the meantime, enjoy your book passion!

The Green Veil ~ Prologue

1848

Pain seared Colette’s temples, neck, and shoulders. Behind her eyelids, everything blazed like a powder keg of dynamite going off inside her. Explosions roared and blasts glared — red, and now and then a streak of hot white. She stirred on the bed, and her satin dress rustled.

“Wear the dress, Lettie.”

She picked it up and held it before her in front of the oval mirror, noticing how the crimson sleeves would drop off her shoulders, and the bodice would all but reveal every inch of her form. The rest of the dress was cut to accentuate her womanliness, and the rustle of the fabric caressed her skin when it stirred.

“They all admire you. Tonight, I don’t want them to be able to take their eyes off you.”

“You would put me on such a display?”

A condescending laugh rippled out of him, and she pinched her eyes shut.

“A display? You want to help me succeed, don’t you?”

“It’s so degrading.”

“Degrading.” He didn’t shout the word, yet it seemed so. “You never want to please me.”

“I do.”

“No. If you wanted to please me, you would do these simple things I ask of you.”

“But–“

He stepped up behind her and slid his fingers over her shoulders.

“Vashti,” he whispered. He tipped his lips to her neck and nuzzled her skin. “My Vashti. Wear the dress.” His use of that name sliced into her. He caught her gaze in the mirror and entwined one multi-faceted ringlet around his finger, stroking it against the curve of her jaw. “And leave some of your hair down. Just enough to tickle you here… and here…”

His words echoed in time with the blood pulsing through the bruise on her cheek.

They all looked at her. There was no mistaking the hungry thoughts barely veiled in the eyes of the men as they regarded her. The women whispered behind fans and gloved hands, and she felt their rebuff.

Shame. Flooding her. Turning her cheeks crimson, which only seemed to attract more of their attention.

“Dance with the gentlemen, Lettie. It pleases me. That’s all I’m asking. Only dance.”

So she’d danced. But somehow, even that hadn’t pleased him. Somehow, she’d done something wrong.

Tears crept out from under her swollen eyelids, and her shoulders rocked with quiet sobs. How had she come to this place? What had happened to all the dreams she used to harbor?

God, how could I have been so wrong?

Images from another life, a life she’d lived a long, long time ago, hurtled through the blare of her thoughts — images of a small town with a street covered in pine dust, of a white house on a hill and a trip across the great lake into the shroud of forest where she’d first met her destiny.

A key turned in the lock of the door. Colette wished she could reclaim that other time from the foggy past. But now it was too late. She could never go there again.
Her body convulsed in a shudder as she willed her tears to cease. The door brushed open across the carpeted floor, and her husband treaded softly across the room.
