Kate Corsi’s lifelong dream has been to work for her family’s world-famous explosive demolition business. Her stubborn father denied her this dream until he died. Now, his will has promised Kate a fortune - but only if she can live for a year in the same house with her ex-husband, Donovan. As Kate and Donovan form an uneasy alliance to learn the truth about her father’s mysterious death, they must confront the wrenching secrets of a past that nearly destroyed them. And they must face the perils of moving too close to the burning point, where their passion could once again catch fire.

How the heck is returning to an abuser considered romance?
Revisado: 12-24-18
I kept listening because I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. This woman left her husband because he was abusive. Of course they blamed it on alcohol. She never told her family, so her father sets her up to have to spend a year living with her abuser in order to get her and her brother’s inheritance. Unbelievably dangerous situation to put her in. How is this supposed to be romantic? Towards the end of the book, she apparently justifies his violent behaviors by comparing them to her own “violent” nature which is completely crap because you aren’t violent if you stab someone who is trying to rape you (him) or kill someone while trying to escape them trying to kill you (cousin). Worst of all is that they are barely back together before she is remarrying him. Wouldn’t be surprised if the past bad behaviors resurface and she doesn’t leave him this time. So much was wrong with this book that it made me sick. Could have seen it as a product of the sixties, but definitely the wrong message for this day and age. Author should be ashamed of herself for writing something that tries to normalize abuse and misogyny.

Beyond angry about rape scene
Revisado: 07-02-18
I only got as far as the third chapter before I had to turn it off! The lead character is fighting in her bathroom with a man who has broken into her house when he starts to rape her. The truly repugnant part is when she says in her head that she is starting to enjoy it! Unbelievably disgusting and disappointed.

Better than Outlander
Revisado: 11-09-17
If you enjoyed the Outlander series and like supernatural creature reads, you will definitely enjoy this series. Definitely credit worthy.

Finding Gobi is the miraculous tale of Dion Leonard, a seasoned ultramarathon runner who crosses paths with a stray dog while competing in a 155-mile race through the Gobi Desert in China. The lovable pup, who would later earn the name Gobi, proved that what she lacked in size, she more than made up for in heart, as she went step for step with Dion over the Tian Shan Mountains and across massive sand dunes, keeping pace with him for 77 miles.

Thrilled to find it as an audiobook
Revisado: 06-15-17
I followed this story all last year through the highs and lows. Loved both Dion and Gobi's determination. Because I so rarely get to read actual books, I was afraid I would miss the full behind the scenes stuff when this came out. Thank heavens you had the foresight to also do the audiobook! I've recommended it to all my friends as well. Very well done.
