I truly don’t know how to describe this book. Words escape me, and it’s not easy making me speechless. If you’re squeamish, you won’t make it past the first page, when the rat pisses in his coffee. But if you can make it through that, it’s worth the trip.

It’s true. I do read romance novels. Historical novels are my favorites, one with quirky characters and lots of interesting history. Two dissimilar characters who have no idea that they belong together, lots of laughter, and misunderstandings, and tension.

I read a lot of books. A lot of books. A 2005 Gallup Poll found that, among those who said they had read books, the average was nine books a year for women and five for men. I read 9 books last week. I’ve got books stacked on the coffee table, on the computer desk, [...]
This is one of my favorite books in the world. I first read it 10 years ago, having previously been a fan of Laurie King and her Kate Martinelli mysteries. I actually thought this book was part of that series (I bought it without reading a single thing on the cover beside Laurie King’s name) [...]
