Sean Michael had done it again! Angel enters the Velvet Glove sedated. Jax relies on a friend, Malachi, to find the right man to help Angel heal. Malachi apparently is good at matching people. Ronald is a good match for Angel. I could visualize Angel’s reactions when Ronald refused to let him do something. One of the problems I did have with the story was that the jump from Angel not liking Ronald to wanting to be around him all the time was a bit sudden.

The other problem I had with the story was the balance between the two couples. A good portion of the story was devoted to Ronald and Angel, while the relationship between Jax and Minuet was not really explored as much as I would have liked.

I enjoyed the sex scenes with each couple. The sex scenes were milder than Sean Michael’s norm for both couples. I wonder if a heavy sex scene with each couple was left on the editing room floor.

As a fan of Sean Michael, I have to say this book does not disappoint to say the least. If you are interested in a spicy hot read that has a happy ending, then this is the book for you.

The day former exotic dancer Camilla O’Neal began working at The Dancing Pony, she told co-owner Ben Lawrence and head bartender Quinten Parks that “work is work and pleasure is pleasure” and she kept the two very separate. Working with their tiny dancer brings Ben and Quinten as much pain as pleasure. After two years of secretly lusting over and loving this blonde temptress, they have a plan.

Camilla goes about her job as assistant manager at The Dancing Pony with boundless energy in outfits designed to distract. Her plans for owning her own nightclub are a driving force within her. She’d left the world of stripping and pole dancing at a gentlemen’s club behind to pursue her dreams but finds Ben and Quinten an increasing distraction from her goals. Can she handle mixing business with pleasure when her men decide it’s time to claim her?

Ben and Quinten want Camilla, bad. But she has a rule and they don’t want to ruin things with her before anything ever gets started. Leave it to a little competition to finally make them show Camilla that some rules are made to be broken.

Camilla is a sassy, energetic assistant manager at the club Ben co-owns, and Quinten works at as head bartender. She is great at what she does and when she starts wearing “costumes” to work, the men are positive it’s just to tease them. Of course it brings in more customers and gains more tips for her but it also makes control a hard to reach thing for Ben and Quinten. They have both lusted over this woman for years and decided to partner up and build a life in hopes of Camilla one day joining them.
They launched a fine chemicals business called Charles Pfizer and Company, from a building which lay at the intersection cialis brand cute-n-tiny.com of Harrison Avenue and Bartlett Street. Internet pharmacies are viagra france http://cute-n-tiny.com/cute-animals/long-haired-guinea-pig/ the best resources to buy Tadalista online. When one opts for erectile dysfunction treatment, his fertility issue is also treated so as to get proper and natural generic super cialis erection whenever he gets sexually aroused. Contrary to this problem there is hyperopic where the distant object looks much clearer levitra 50mg than the objects which are closer.
A series of shady events bring the threesome together outside of work, and for Camilla the line she had drawn in the sand–work is work and pleasure is pleasure–is starting to blur. But she’s had feelings for both men for a while and decides to take the bulls by the horns. All the while Camilla is getting closer to realizing her dream of opening her own club with the help of a guardian angel, and some really great friends. Danger is lurking and Camilla struggles to let her men protect her and keep her safe because no one has ever cared enough too. The men work to destroy the walls she’s built, yet she manages to complete and heal the men at the same time.

Tiny Dancer is another great addition to the Divine Creek family. Ben and Quiten are great characters individually but together they are like the two halves of the ying and yang and Camilla is the energy that sets it spinning. Ben is dark and intense as Quiten is light an easy going while Camilla is like the sun and full of energy and brightness. This trio is a wonderful compliment to each other, probably the best of all.

One of the things I really liked about this book is that Camilla was a very sensual person and she really embraced that. We typically see heroines needing to be brought out of their shell, a la Grace from book one or Dr. Emma from book 9, but here Camilla was not only a former exotic dancer but also part of the lifestyle that is BDSM. I felt that this particular book was more sexually charged overall whereas most of the previous books start off sweet and loving before turning the sex factor up to full blast. Camilla, Ben and Quinten scorch the pages from beginning to end.

Heather Rainier has done a great job again with adding interesting secondary characters, setting up potential protagonists for future books and not recycling any previous tales in her ever expanding city of Divine, Texas. I personally think it should be called Smexyville R US, where there is something in the water they should bottle and sell. But that’s just me.

I don’t think I can sing anymore praises for this book or series, so if you are not reading it you are missing out. But if you are with me on this ride, you’ll know how excited I am to see where we go next.

Earth witches aren’t easy targets…

Earth Witches Aren’t Easy is a departure from Ms. Long’s normal romance, and is a delightfully suspense filled Urban Fantasy romp. Chance Monroe is a hedge witch, that nearly a decade ago was the only survivor of a serial killer’s spree and she thought she was finally free of the nightmare with his death. Now he’s back and very much alive and the killing has begun again, and her ex-lover and FBI agent Jack Harker, shows up to protect her.

Ms. Long writes a wonderfully rich world where a hedge witch is just another part of the world to those in the know. She spends her time healing the earth and helping with the harvest, so everyone assumes she’s weak, but Chance is an incredibly complex character that is easy to fall in love with and root for. The rituals and rules of the world are all fleshed out nicely, and the mystery and suspense of this action packed story keeps the story moving along quickly. This isn’t a romance, there is no happily ever after between Chance and Jack, thought their friendship remains strong, and there is this thread of sexual tension between them that just amps up the story.

The first person can be hard for some to pull off well, and I will admit I’m very picky about mine. However, Ms. Long pens Chance’s voice in such a way that you become so immersed in the world and how she sees it that the first person just adds another layer to this multi layered and colorful story.

While Chance may spend her time with fairies and blessing fields, she’s still a very strong witch and it’s easy to see how everyone could underestimate her. My only complaint for this story, if I can even call it that, is that I wanted more. I want more adventures with Chance and hopefully more appearances from Jack and maybe even some of the lovely cast of characters that add to and enrich Chance’s life.

If you love action packed Urban Fantasy with a mystery that keeps you guessing right up until the end, you need to pick up this book. Soon you’ll be waiting for more Chance Monroe books just as anxiously as I am.

A forced-sex fantasy is one thing—waking to find a scruffy man binding you to a bed is quite another. Amy fights him, until she realizes her friend must have set up the sexy scenario. They’ve swapped lives, with Harper flying to Australia and lending her Chicago home to Amy. While she’s surprised Harper would go to such lengths to help her fulfill a fantasy, Amy figures…why not?

After days of nonstop travel, Andrew arrives at the home he shares with his sister, Harper, with sleep on his mind—until he finds a naked intruder in his bed. Subduing the beauty, he assumes she’s the blind date his pal had tried to set him up with. But would Mike actually sneak the woman into Andrew’s house? Seems so. And he’s not one to turn down such a gift.

By the time each has learned the other’s identity, Amy and Andrew have shared the most intense sexual experience of their lives. And they certainly don’t want to stop now.

Inside Scoop: This sexy life-swapping tale includes BDSM with a side of ménage.

When her counterpart in America, teacher Harper Shaw, suggests that she and Amy switch houses for two weeks, Amy jumps at the chance to visit Chicago and spend two weeks away from familiar spaces. Amy and Harper have spent hours online, Skyping and discussing everything, including their deepest secret desires. When Harper says she set up a surprise for Amy, she wonders what her American friend has in mind. When Harper’s brother, Andrew, has to cut short his latest travel show due to extreme weather, he heads home for some relaxation. When his buddy tries to set him up with a blind date, Andrew doesn’t really say no. When Amy wakes up in the middle of the night, tied to the bed, with a handsome and sexy man doing delicious things to her, she thinks this is the surprise from Harper, because one night, in a tipsy conversation, Amy confessed that her secret desire was to be tied down and dominated by a stranger. Andrew thinks this is the Amy that his buddy wanted to set him up with. When they realize the truth, they also realize they really enjoy each other’s company, and decide to spend time together, with Andrew showing Amy the sights of Chicago. Andrew isn’t looking for forever, and Amy knows he will be gone in a week, and she will be returning to Australia soon, as well. Neither expected their hearts to become involved.

Can Amy have a fling with Andrew, and go back to Australia with just her memories to warm her heart? Will Andrew move on to the next place, the next woman and forget her? Or will these two find a way to fight the distance and make a life together?

Misplaced Lessons is the third in Mari Carr and Lexxie Couper’s hot Foreign Affairs series, and for once we have a female Aussie doing the adventuring, going to America to chase a dream. I really enjoy the collaboration between these two authors, both of who write scorching hot romance on their own. With this series, they boost it up a few levels, bringing laughter and tears in equal measure. The world they have built is a delight, and the characters are charismatic and so much fun to meet.

Amy Wesson is a delight; organized, smart and a bit sassy, willing to go with the flow when things don’t go as planned. I liked that she was open to new experiences, and that she was a bit unpredictable at times, like when she tries to convince Andrew that she is a submissive, when she is definitely far too independent to fall in that category. I liked Amy for her honest approach to life and love, and her ability to accept those things she felt she couldn’t change.

Andrew Shaw is a celebrity, handsome, dominant and overly protective of those he loves. When he realizes his sister has ‘disappeared’ he is determined to find out where she is, and frustrated when Amy will only give him generalities as to Harper’s location. I loved that Andrew could discover things about himself as he spent time with Amy, and was sensitive to her desires to see everything she could in her limited amount of time in Chicago. I enjoyed watching as he got blindsided by the lovely Aussie lady, and discovered what love could be.

There is a side story with Harper and Amy’s two friends back at Farpoint, but nothing is really spelled out here. Of course, since Ms. Couper and Ms. Carr are both masters of erotic romance and Ms. Carr does marvelous romantic comedy as well, this is a real hot treat for a winter’s night. I hope that, at some point, we will see Harper’s story, but until then, I highly recommend the three Foreign Affairs books already out, especially Misplaced Lessons, my favorite so far. But beware, these folks will snare your heart, make you laugh and make you cry before they find the perfect solution to their unique dilemma.

One night can loosen the grip of the past. Only love can break it completely.

Sensual Healing, Book 2

Freya Fletcher longs to travel and use her nursing skills abroad. But while her father keeps gambling away her meager savings, she’s anchored to her hospital job and family responsibilities.

When friends ask her to a bar one evening to support a local band, Freya goes along reluctantly. But she’s glad she took the night off when gorgeous Nate Taylor turns out to be the lead guitarist and singer. Too bad there’s no room in her complicated life for anything resembling love.

Now, hounded by the family that used him, haunted by the memory of a boy he couldn’t save, he is a man on the run. Although the promise of peace glows brightly in Freya’s beautiful eyes, his past, weighing heavily on his soul, won’t let him reach for it.

Luckily, the delectable Freya doesn’t want a relationship either. They come together for one night, just casual, no strings. But one night quickly turns into several. Before long they’ve fallen in love, but until they can find a way to break free of their pasts, a happy future will remain only a distant dream.

Freya Fletcher longs for a different life, one where she is free to travel, and use her nursing skills to help others. Too bad family responsibilities keep taking all her money, keeping her tied to the one place she’d love to escape. When her friends convince her to take one evening for fun and relaxation at the local bar, she hesitates at first. But once she is there, she is fascinated by one of the band members they came to hear. Nate Taylor has a unique talent, just not with his music. As a young teen, a car accident left him with the power to heal others, and he is on the run from the family that abused that talent and his trust. He isn’t able to handle relationships any more than Freya is, so it seems like the perfect match; two people who just want some no-strings romance and easy-going sex, no talk of happy ever after. The funny thing is, they forgot to tell their hearts, and as the saying goes, life is what happens when you just aren’t looking for anything special. Can Freya stop enabling her father’s gambling and say no to her family? Can Nate come to terms with his past, and move on, making a place in his life for Freya? Or will the weight of their combined responsibilities drive these two fractured souls apart?

Making Sense is Serenity Woods’ second book in her Sensual Healing series and is set in her familiar Australian world, where things are sometimes unseen, but no less real. I like this world, one where people are open for new and different experiences, and you never know if the person next to you is just your regular person or a psychic who talks to the departed. As always, her characters are multi-faceted and well crafted, and are folks who make you laugh and cry in equal measure.

Freya Fletcher is a strong woman, with responsibilities that keep her from fulfilling her dreams. She has a strong sense of family loyalty, but wants more from life than she has gotten so far. When Nate offers a chance at some ‘no-strings’ sex and fun, she accepts, telling herself that it is all she wants in her life. I liked watching as she fell under his spell, and discovered that there was always room in her life for love. I loved watching as Freya grew and found the strength to, finally, tell her family that enough was enough, and that she was finished enabling them. I loved that Nate supported her decision in that.

Nate Taylor is a sensitive, caring man, handsome and a bit of a wounded hero. His family abused his talent for healing, and pushed him to the breaking point. But rather than strike out at them, he just walked away from it all, using his gift quietly, out of the spotlight, with small things. When he meets Freya, he sees in her a kindred spirit, someone he can relax with, and enjoy a ‘no-strings’ relationship with. I liked Nate, with his gentle manners and his caring nature, and loved watching as love sneaked up on him with Freya. I loved his sense of honesty and fair play; at no time did he lead Freya on, and always was up front with her.

The chemistry between Nate and Freya is hot, almost from the first moment they met. I like that there was no hesitation, and that they both head into this with no expectations other than a good time. I enjoyed catching up with the characters from the first book in the series, and look forward to more from this world that Ms. Woods has crafted. The secondary characters deserve to be applauded for their ability to see that these two would have more than either of them expected, and I totally enjoyed watching these two learn about life and love together. This is for all of those who want their romance on the hot side, with some unexplainable powers thrown in. One warning: keep the fan on high, and lots of ice at hand, because, like most of Serenity Woods’ romances, this one goes to scorching quickly and quite often.

Have you ever woken up every day afraid of everything?

For single mom and widow Melody Carter, six months passed since an IED ripped her life apart. Everyone is sympathetic and offers platitudes of comfort and support. Everyone thinks they know why she’s grieving, but Melody isn’t mourning her broken heart. She’s ashamed to be grateful her abusive husband won’t hurt her anymore and scared for her child.

Marine Captain, Joe Anderson Cooper, received the Silver Star for Valor when he led his unit through heavy fire to rescue fellow Marines. Despite numerous injuries, the Captain refused medical aid, insisting that the medics attend others. A broken back and shattered bones put Captain Cooper in a wheelchair and every day is a battle to keep his recovery on track and his sanity intact. When a single mom moves in to the apartment next door to his and he recognizes kindred—damaged—soul, can he overcome her fear and be the man she’s always needed?

When life seems to be at its lowest, opportunity can present itself in the most unexpected ways.

Captain Joe Cooper is a true Marine hero. Injured while attempting to save other members of his unit under attack, he is relegated to a wheel chair until his back and leg have the chance to heal. Though he hates the idea of the chair, it’s literally the vehicle that brings his true love into his life.

Melody Carter is a Marine widow struggling with a sickly baby. Alone in every respect, she is exhausted from carrying the burden of the emotional and physical efforts since her husband’s death-and before. When Joe offered his help, her initial reaction was fear, but the combination of his wheelchair and her gut instinct told her he was trustworthy, and she allowed herself to finally lean on someone.

This is a beautiful story of love and redemption. Each character has suffered through their own trials and tribulations, but has persevered and eventually found a match in the other. I love that most of the story is told from Joe’s point of view, since most romance novels focus predominantly on the woman. We do, however, get a good deal of Melody’s viewpoint, so it’s easy to connect to each of them.

Joe had my heart from the start; a man battling back from injury and determined not to give up. Melody is an outstanding character as well; despite being battered and put down, she refuses to submit and is resigned to doing whatever it takes to care for her ill child. We even get to meet Joe’s mom, who is a woman we’d all be lucky to have in our lives-smart, strong and nurturing.

I do wish we had a little more time with the two once their relationship grew, but considering their emotional states, it really was for the best they waited. The slow build up between these two was perfect and natural. Since both were dealing with their share of challenges, it was wonderful to see that neither looked to the other to “fix” things. They first developed a beautiful friendship, although the attraction and love was brewing under the surface.

Those familiar with the rest of Ms. Long’s Always a Marine series will recognize some other familiar names in the course of the story, and it’s fun to see how they can all interact. This book is great not only for the fans of Ms. Long, but for anyone looking for true friendship and love.

Connor, chieftain of the MacDonalds of Sleat, holds the fate of his people in his hands. Rival clans are plotting to take over his lands, and duty determines whom he will fight, trust . . . even marry. Seeking guidance, Connor turns to Ilysa, a young lass with the gift of foresight, who reveals an approaching danger-and a passion that burns only for him. But the warrior must make a powerful marriage alliance, and Ilysa’s bloodline is far too humble.

With her powers to heal and see evil where others cannot, beautiful Ilysa dresses plainly, speaks softly, and loves her chieftain from afar. Yet when Connor finally stokes the embers of desire that have so long burned within her, Ilysa feels bliss unlike any she’s ever known.

The adventures and misadventures of Chieftain Conner and the wee Ilysa who runs his household kept me turning pages until late in the night. The Chieftain is spellbinding.

Ilysa and Conner, on their way to Trotternish to set up his household and hold off the clan’s enemies, stop by to see Tearag, the old seer. She tells Ilysa to remember she has the blood of the Sea Witch of legend and was born at midnight on the full moon so she has “The Sight”. Though not as strong as Tearag’s, it gets stronger where her heart is. Also, Tearag reminds Ilysa that she’s been taught the spell of protection that will gain in strength with the faery dance on Faery Hills that is near Trotternish.

She also taught Ilysa to speak softly, to keep her gaze down, to draw no attention to herself, and had conditioned her pretty daughter to wear a loose sack dress and keep her hair totally covered at all times with a kerchief. With her efforts, the household seems to run with magic—then Conner in a fit of temper sends her away. Oh, My! What a mess!

Conner also listened to Tearag’s ramblings but gave little heed to them. His total focus is on securing the clan’s holdings to make them strong for generations to come. His personal desires are set aside for chieftain DUTY to his clan. One major duty is to marry to form a strong alliance with a clan well-equipped to do battle and is well financed.

The plot and the many little sub-plots that are woven together with consummate skill by Margaret Mallory make The Chieftain a magnificent addition to this series.

Some secondary characters that ratchet up the tension and suspense are Sorely, the old warrior who served under Conner’s father and later his brother; Lachlan, the acclaimed warrior that Ilysa sees danger and conflict in; and the ‘sour’ cook at Trotternish to mention a few. Of course, the would-be brides that invade Trotternish Castle create their own special type of tension. Black Hugh and the MacLeod press their claim to Trotternish to the limit with most unusual outcomes.

Margaret Mallory’s masterful storytelling and her exquisite writing style make the reader’s sojourn with Conner and Ilysa a memorable vicarious experience. The Chieftain is a keeper!

CIA operative John Bishop arrived in Bliss, Colorado, seeking a respite from the high-stakes game of blood and lies that sent him to the worst corners of the world. A week playing the role of vacationing professor Henry Flanders would recharge his batteries, especially if he found a submissive plaything to occupy his time.

Nell Finn has spent her life focused on helping others, but when she meets the tall and mysterious Henry Flanders, she can’t stop imagining what he might do for her. When Nell and her mother are threatened, Henry comes to her, offering his protection and comfort.

But as the threats escalate out of control, Henry discovers that the beautiful and innocent Nell is much more than a plaything. Can he save the woman he loves without exposing the secrets that would drive her away?

Sometimes first impressions can be dead wrong. Not Nell’s first impression of Henry Flanders. She knew he was her soul mate, the man she could and did trust with her heart and she was right on the money. Not Henry’s impression of Nell. He knew almost instantly that she was a closet submissive and that he would spend his entire “vacation” exploring that side of the petite protester. Again, he wasn’t wrong, although he did learn that there was so much more to this idealistic tree hugger. She was his reason for fighting the never ending dark and bloody war that had consumed his twenties and half of his thirties. I can’t tell you any more about Henry’s past. If you’ve only ever met the passive resister that joins his wife for the weekly protest in front of the Stop and Shop or Stella’s Dinner, depending on the grievance, you wouldn’t believe me anyway. The first impression I’m referring to was my own. Henry and Nell were secondary characters that I didn’t have much in common with when I first met them many, many books ago. I didn’t think much about who they were or how they came to be together or consider that their story would be just as sweet or as exciting as the others. Boy! Was I ever wrong!

This is Henry and Nell’s story but it’s so much more than that. This is the story of how the small town of Bliss, as we know it today, started down the path of being one of the deadliest cities in America for homicides per capita. The irony of who took the first kill wasn’t lost on this reader. Nor was the town’s response to one of its own being in danger. Family isn’t a joke with these people; it’s a way of life.

Set five years in the past, my first thought with Once Upon a Time was that it was meant to be a prequel to the rest of the series and to a certain extent it is. Many of the characters I’ve come to know and love join the cast within these pages while other simply get a foreshadowing nod in passing. It was kind of like a wink from Ms. Oak to her loyal readers. And then because she seems to know what makes her fans smile, Ms. Oak gave me a chance to meet some very special people who had already passed on when the first book was written. I don’t mind telling you that brought on a few tears. Then in true Sophie Oak fashion she tied this book in with both the Siren series and the Faery stories. Truly inspired!

As I said “prequel” came to mind at first but in all actuality it’s the set up for next several books. I can’t say how because that would be a total spoiler. I will say the epilogue gave me a thrill similar to what movie watchers get when they wait until all the credits have rolled and then their patience pays off by getting a sneak peak at the next movie. But don’t jump ahead just for the ending, Henry and Nell have quite a story to tell and it isn’t to be missed. Bliss is a one of a kind town with one of a kind people you’ll want to visit with again and again.

Poppy lives in hell. His only bright spot is his friend Marcus. If he saves Marcus, Poppy knows he will have done one good thing in his life–then he has to go back to hell.

Dean Stone is an assassin without remorse. He’s also damn sure he has stepped into a crazy world. His friend is mated to a shape-shifting cat, his other friends are missing, and the agency he works for is a mess.

Author Stormy Glenn somehow made a house cat into the most feared creature around. Yes, these kind, sweet shifters will have the fur flying and the claws out in a instance if you challenge their mates; and whether Dean likes it or not he is Poppy’s mate.

With a captivating plot line and inspiring characters this story seems to end far too quickly. Of all the characters in the story, Poppy stole my heart. Dean found him a broken man having suffered years of abuse. While someone else would have fallen apart to the point of no return, Poppy seemed to pull the pieces together to not only help himself, but those around him. His naiveness also made him entertaining. Poppy made me reflect on the simple things in life and try to appreciate them as if they were new experiences. He is a character that will stick with me for a long time, and brings a smile to my face at just the thought of him. While Poppy found a way to get past the way he was mistreated, it became a driving force in creating who he is. It created a completely submissive and subservient individual. Readers may find some parts of his past a bit disturbing because, while Dean has no wish to be Poppy’s master, his former masters have not always been kind to him.

Dean’s smart mouth may annoy everyone around him, but for me it just entertained. I have met some humorous characters in the past, but none of them can hold a candle to Dean. His quick wit just seems to come so naturally to his character that I could only appreciate his antics. While he may like to poke fun at others one thing he does not take lightly however is his duty to protect others and do what is right. I came to appreciate his smart mouth because I knew that it probably helped him cope with his job as an assassin. I would think that trying to lighten things up when off duty helps him to be able to handle what needs to be done while on duty.

The conflict in this story is a driving force. It throws the characters together as well as gives them something to start to develop a relationship around. It also plays a role in who they are as individuals as well as together. It also allowed me to meet a plethora of supporting characters who each had their own attributes whether good or bad. I was so enthralled with the story that I had not realized how long it had been, and was not ready for it to end. I cannot wait to read the next installment of the Assassin’s Pride Series.

At a time when bullying torments so many young people today, this unique and important novel sheds light with humor and wit on an issue that deeply resonates with countless teens and readers.

My high school was never this interesting.

I’ve never watched Glee and I didn’t know anything about Chris Colfer before I read this book. Maybe I’ve lived under a rock, but that’s okay. When I passed this book at the store, I stopped to check it out. The title grabbed me right away. Struck by Lightning. Okay, I’ll give it a try. I’m glad I did.

Carson Phillips is the standard outcast kid with huge dreams. He’s not had the best start in life and will find out just how messed up life can get. But I rooted for him all the way. His voice in the story is forthright and funny. I laughed and cried along with him. He’s got a great cast of characters set in an average high school.

I loved Carson’s pluck. This kid never quit and when it looked like he should, he gave another 110%. He’s mischievous but driven. It’s great. I also loved his relationship with his grandmother. She’s suffering from dementia but she’s the one person who hasn’t given up on Carson. It’s bittersweet and sweet. I love how she always has his back.

The secondary characters helped make the story memorable, too. I loved Malerie. She’s innocent, but there’s much more to her than meets the eye.

Granted, there is some swearing in this book. It’s definitely geared for the upper high school set, but anyone from around 16 years old and up will be able to identify with at least one character.

If you want a book that will make you laugh, cry and want more, then this is a great place to start.
