Historia
Nothing can mend a broken heart quite like family. Sherry has struggled all her life to understand who she is, where she comes from, and, most important, why her mother slapped her cheek one summer afternoon. The incident has haunted Sherry, and it causes her to dig into her family's past. Like many family histories, it is fractured and stubbornly reluctant to reveal its secrets. But Sherry is determined to know the full story. In a few days' time, her extended family will gather for a reunion, and Sherry sets off across the country with her mother, Dumpling, to join them.

Historia
It’s 2008, and things are falling apart: Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers are going under, and the residents of Pepys Road, London - a banker and his shopaholic wife, an old woman dying of a brain tumor and her graffiti-artist grandson, Pakistani shop owners and a shadowy refugee who works as the meter maid, the young soccer star from Senegal and his minder - are receiving anonymous postcards reading "We Want What You Have." Who is behind it? What do they want?

OMGOSH! ............ BEST BOOK I'VE READ LATELY!!!
Revisado: 02-06-14
If you could sum up Out of Breath in three words, what would they be?
What a heartfelt book, the characters are so well written! You have to love Emma, root for her and Evan, life is so unfair to her. She has all this complication in her life and most of it happened to her before she was 10 years old! I felt as though I was in therapy reading it, in a very good way! These characters have very good friends that tell it how it is, they recognize a damaged person and only want to help her. I cried, laughed, as some places my breathe was just sucked away! WOW!
Have you listened to any of Kate Rudd’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Wonderful writer, story teller, she pulls you in to her stories!
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Each time Emma reaches the end of her struggle, I understood and cried to see her finally have had enough!
Any additional comments?
Bravo to Kate, I wish I could tell her how much this book helped me!

Revisado: 07-15-13
Would you try another book from Philip Carlo and/or Michael Prichard?
After the first few hours . . . it became all the same. Certainly did not warrant 19 hours.
Has The Ice Man turned you off from other books in this genre?
Yes
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Yawn
Any additional comments?
Can't imagine why this was HBO material. The gore he described could not have been easy to hear on national TV

Historia
Valentina isn't averse to sensual pleasure, or even to the idea of finding true love, but as a Hollywood business manager she's watched too many smart women fall for actors...only to be torn apart when the fairytale comes to its inevitable end. But when intense weeks together on set turn their heated attraction into red-hot flames of passion, Smith knows he has to find a way to convince Valentina to let him get a little bit closer. Close enough to completely steal her heart...the way she's stolen his from the start.

TOO MUCH NARRATION
Revisado: 03-28-13
Is there anything you would change about this book?
YES, this book is narrated way too much. The story does not flow . . . too much he felt this, she said that, the rest of the books let the story tell it much better. I found myself saying just let him tell her, but instead it was . . . "he wanted to say this".
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Not surprising
Did Eva Kaminsky do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
Yes, always does
Do you think Come a Little Bit Closer: The Sullivans needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Go back to telling your story and stop telling us so much about the feelings under the story.

When Gabe Hamilton saw Mia Crestwell walk into the ballroom for his hotel’s grand opening, he knew he was going to hell for what he had planned. After all, Mia is his best friend’s little sister. Except she’s not so little anymore. And Gabe has waited a long time to act on his desires.

Mia knows he’s way out of her league, but her attraction has only grown stronger with time. She’s an adult now, and there’s no reason not to act on her most secret desires.

Historia
Nothing incites Marcus more than the primal hunger roused by his former fiancée, Elizabeth. It’s been years since she jilted him for another man, but that only means there’s a lot to catch up on, a lot to make up for, and that he’s going to enjoy every sweet moment.… The same drive and passion that sent her into another man’s arms is what brings Elizabeth back to Marcus. Her attraction to him is the one thing she fears, but she’s run out of options. Resisting is impossible. But does she have the courage to surrender everything?
