A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet #2)A Heart So Savage by April Moran
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book two to this series and I must tell you that if you are not a fan of violence, dark romance, dubcon, mature langue, sensitive content, adult situations, jealous/possessive themes, and the such then this book is NOT for you! If you can get passed that type of content, then check this dark romance out! This also can’t be read as a stand alone. You need to read the first book to fully understand where this one starts and is heading. So Ava is a prisoner. Kidnapped and trapped by Kingston for her brother’s debt (2.6 million). Instead of selling her to the highest bidder he has decided to keep her. She belongs to Kingston now and she rebels at almost every turn. Which makes him want to punish her and break her into submission. She craves his touch just as much as he wants to touch her, but the hate is clear in their eyes. He will have her break so he can put her back together again. All while she tries to win his heart so she can escape. Both falling but both don’t see the danger rushing towards them. This is a book about a villain and his captive. He always gets his way. But will he this time? Such a great story. I wasn’t prepared when I read the first one, but once I started this one I knew what kind of content to expect.

The Liminal Space (Antipodes, #2)The Liminal Space by T.S. Simons
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book had me in tears!!! Seriously!! The Author builds the world and characters so well that you are so attached to it all! The characters are so diverse and relatable that you can’t help but fall in love with so many of them. And maybe even dislike a few too! When anything happens you are on the edge of your seat, reading as fast as you can to find out what will happen next! I did this a few times and stayed up way to late to find out! This is only book two in the set and I have to say that I am hooked and can’t wait to read the rest! Cam is happy with his new life on Lewis with his new wife (Read book one for more info on all that craziness!!). Anyways, he has become a welcomed productive member of this new community and he feels at home. Not at all like how he was treated in his last community. Settling into Lewis has been much easier and he treasures that and the people so much. As he is getting into that new life, Cam is burdened with some news. Someone he loves from “before” may still be alive! What do you do when it’s the end of the world and you find out someone you love might be out there somewhere? Torn between leaving his wife and making yet another torturous journey into the rings or staying and letting the past be the past, he must make a choice. Traveling yet again in the gray unknown world has him embarking on a path that will forever change his life. Again! How much more can one man deal with?! Virus that kills the whole world and now all this! Who knew the end of the world would be so challenging! Don’t say ” what else can happen?” because even more does!!!! Pick up this book NOW and get reading!! You won’t be disappointed with this set!! So far it is SSSSOOOO good!!! Look for my other reviews on the other books in the set because I AM going to be reading them ALL!!!!

Born to Fall (Can't Resist You, #2)Born to Fall by Brittany Anne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Brittany you are killing me. I started reading this morning. I am done. This was so good. I don’t even know where to start with this review. I was anticipating learning more about Kayla and Sawyer. But I’m this story gave me everything I didn’t know I needed about Julia and Derek. First off Derek is so much like his brother Hunter. And I love him for it. Julia and Rain had such similarities (which isn’t a surprise seeing how they were both Alans wives…I mean prisoners) but each had to develop their own strengths and heal their own way.

What the heck is going on with Sawyer? Will we learn more next book? Also my poor Kayla. My heart is so heavy for her.

Anna is such an independent, skilled, woman. A bad mother…shut yo mouth. I cannot wait to dive into her story and her plan. Perfect for Hayden.

I want Hunter to come out of retirement a little. I need to see his dangerous side again.

And the poor older woman who’s name slips my mind at the moment. Ugh I just wanna hug her. Can we get a prequel to the fall?

Also movie and tv execs can I get a show on the CW or something? This would make great tv. Or a great movie franchise.

I hate that I read it so fast cause now I gotta wait so long for more. Ugh! If you’ve read to this point of my review, what are you waiting for read this series! Romance, action, thrills, chills, bump n grid, happy endings, epic cliff hangers, what else do you need?

Me and Cinderella (The Dirty Rooster #2)Me and Cinderella
By: Kelly Mooney
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Me and Cinderella (The Dirty Rooster #2) by Kelly Mooney was a pretty great read that will pull at those heart strings.

Not my first read from this author or in this series, but though this book is part of a series it reads as a standalone. So no worries if you haven’t read the first book.

This book is a fun read thats both witty and bouncy, as well as emotional and heart melty. The only thing that I didn’t quite like, is a common theme I see with these types of books. The male MC calling female MC, innocent and what not. It’s a pet-peeve of mine, and I don’t find it endearing or a complement to call a grown woman innocent. I don’t want to get into it, cause I’ll be here all day, but in the long run, you can make a character complex and multi layer without adding words like innocent, only to find out..”they aren’t so.” you know, sexy wise.

Other than that, I very much enjoyed this story. I loved how it wasn’t just about the romance, and that Eli was there for his family. That added extra layer that made this story more than your normal mushy romance. It added a complexity to the overall plot and storyline. Eli was an outstanding character and he really stole the show. I honestly think that the author did an amazing job on Eli, and though I did like Remy, and she was also a great character, Eli just, glowed, and was a powerhouse.

Overall this story is a must read, and it gets my super high recommendation and my stamp go approval.

Happy Reading

LOVE on the LINE (Great Expectations Love Stories: The Graykens Book 2)LOVE on the LINE
By: Laurie Lewis
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Love on the Line (Great Expectations Love Stories: The Graykens Book 2) by Laurie Lewis was a sweet, emotional read, that complimented the first book quite well.

The second book in this original heart punching series, and I will tell you that the hard feels has carried over, and man oh man, I didn’t think I would be raked over the coles again. Laurie Lewis sure has a way with words and making me want to cry every three seconds. I will say that this book pretty much picks up wheres the last left off, though it reads well, and could be read as a standalone, I do highly suggest reading the first book, or you won’t get the full impact of their complex relationship.

As this is the second book, I’m not going to tell you anything, but I will tell you that, I fell easy into this read. I was hooked and could not put this book down. My only quirm, was that, the ending felt rushed a little bit. I don’t know if it was done to keep the word count down, or if it was done like that, to keep us readers guessing and wanting more. But I need book three, so those loss ends can be tidied up.

Overall this book is a sweet, raw emotional read, that will rip your hearts strings to pieces. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will need tissues close by.

Happy Reading

A Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott – Review by Emily Walsh

A Tangy Christmas KissA Tangy Christmas Kiss
By: Allyson R. Abbott
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott is the second book in the Christmas Kiss series, it was just as whimsical, sweet, cheesy hallmarkly, as the first.

Not my first read by this author or this series, I read A prickly Christmas Kiss last year, so it’s only fitting I keep going with this fun holiday series. Now before I get to into this review, I have to tell you that though this is a series, so far they read as standalones. So no worries about spoilers or reading out of order.

Okay, here’s the tea, I wasn’t as drawn into this one as I was with the first. Though I still very much enjoyed this fun tale of lost in translation, I wasn’t too keen on how much time was spent on Mel getting to her destination. Not only that, her first impression, for me, wasn’t the greatest. I know what it’s like to travel, long, tiring and plain old crazy. I didn’t like the bratty way she was acting, especially with the barista (don’t be sassy with people that’s preparing your food/drink, unless you like spit.. then go for it..), or her overall tone for the first 30% of the book. I do get it, overtired, irritated and lost, been there done that to many times to count. What I’m saying is that maybe, starting the book before we get to the strung out Mel, probably would have made me more sympathetic towards her situation. (Cause when it got into it, I got it, her mom pulled a pickish move, but I think that should have been first, like a flashback before the whole barista thing).

But even though this had a rocky start, the more I read on the more I got pulled into the story. It turned into a fun, crazy sweet tale, and the ending was every bit of that Christmas magical, cheesiness, you know and love. Mel’s character did grow on me, she turned out to be a pretty solid character and managed to carry the last half of the book.

Overall this book is a nice addition to any Christmas book collection. The plot was fun and unique. The writing was rich with detail and lush with engaging dialogue, even if Mel couldn’t understand what was being said half the time. That added barrier brings a nice layer complexity that really rounds out an otherwise predictable storyline. Those layers don’t stop there, because as Mel becomes more and more involved with her surroundings, things start to get interesting, because who needs one hot guy, when there can be.. two.

I hope you give this adventure a chance, so please take my high recommendation and my stamp of approval that, this book will have you wanting to book your own trip, on the off chance you’ll find love.

Happy Reading

Shoot Me (Lie to Me #2) by Lynda Filler – Review by Emily Walsh

Shoot Me (Lie to Me #2)Shoot Me
By: Lynda Filler
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Shoot Me (Lie to Me #2) by Lynda Filler was a fast pace, steamy, interesting, crazy read, with a surprise touch of action, that rounds out this original tale of love, lust, and the dark underbelly that this world has to offer.

Talk about a book that has it all. Shoot me, the second book to the Lie to Me series, was a different type of addition. The first book drags you to the depths of the back streets of male escorts, but ends on a note where you don’t know if the story will continue. This one picks up well after the fact, with our couple from the first, split. You’re left with a sense of aw before you’ve even started. So I do highly suggest reading that first book, even if this one, sort of reads like a standalone.

Like the first, we’re led on a journey that starts out a light, but as the pages flip and you get pulled deeper into this world, the tone gets darker, things get scary and, at one point I got worried for Lynda. She grew so much in this book, I didn’t think it was possible. But Lynda shows us a different side, and if this series continues I can’t wait to see where the authors takes her next.

Well rounded and just an intriguing read, I highly suggest getting your hands on this not so sweet, dark romance. The elements will shock you, the detail will draw you, and Lynda will become apart of you.

Happy Reading

The Killmores (Killmore #2)The Killmores
By: Martha Sweeney
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Killmores (Killmore #2) by Martha Sweeney was a action packed, not your normal romance thrill, with a power couple could give Mr. and Mrs Smith a run for their money.

I am in deep with this series, it’s everything I never knew I wanted in a action romance. Both are kickass, both are amazing, and this isn’t a story about the hot action, alpha guy saving the girl. No, no, this story is about a powerhouse couple that work together, fight it out and know how to give and take.

Outside of the nail biting action and heart pounding intense situations, the writing is on point. Everything flowed cohesively, transitions were near seamless and, the detail was rich and drawing. I felt like I was watching a blockbuster action movie instead of reading a book.

Not one for spoilers, I don’t want to say anymore as it will ruin this fan-freaking-tastic book. I will warn you that this is part of a series, and it picks up pretty much were the last leaves off. It has a continuation timeline and plot, so I highly suggest you read the first book, Killmore, as to not get confused.

So if you haven’t guest, I highly, highly recommend you get your hands on this book, this series. Take my stamp of approval that you will be capture by this power couple, their resolved and, the endless thrilling action.

Happy reading

Eternal BloomEternal Bloom
By: A.E. Gamrat
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Eternal Bloom (Bloom Duet) by A.E. Gamrat was a emotionally raw, kick to the feels, that may have cause some tears to slip.

Before we start I must warn you this is a duet, and is the second part to it. I highly suggest you read the first book before going into this one, as there is much need back information, character development, and general plot devices that will be needed in order to fully understand, and embrace this emotionally raw punch to the heart.

This book makes up for my mixed feels in the first. The beautiful crafted writing is carried over and you can’t help but be sucked into Gwen’s heartache, mixed emotions, and the sh&^ storm that seems to be getting out of hand. The once sheltered Gwen is coming into her own at a fast pace, and for a bit I was worried it might be too much for her. But, I have to say, Gwen fast became a strong, solid complex character that shone.

As this book is the second and final, I’m going to keep the review a little short as I don’t want to start gushing and spoil this gem. But I need to you know that this book, this duet, is something special. It’s a must read for not only those that are trying to find their place, but for anyone that has a heart. This has things we all can relate too, and experiences that will bring you back to that time in your life, when everything felt like it will fall apart.

So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will be invested, and will be reaching for those tissues.

Happy Reading

Love, Christmas - Movies You Love (The Holiday Series Book 2)Love, Christmas – Movies You Love
By: Various Authors
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love, Christmas – Movies You Love (The Holiday Series #2) by Various Authors, was a light heart, sweet, cheesy, slighly thillerish, good feels read that just put me in the mood to be ready for, the upcoming holidays.

This anthology is a little different then your normal hallmark like Christmas collection. This as the title says, is based off favorite movies classic, some updated, some a little bent, but all have that cheesy, good feel spirit that I love.

Being as there are 26 stories, I have yet to read them all, I will, I just want to space them out until that glitty month is upon us. But I have read enough to where I need to tell you that, this book is worth your time and energy. And I’m going to tell you my first impressions, from the first story, and one more that I quite loved.

A Wonderful Life by Mimi Barbour; pulled me in right away. The guardian angel, Noel, and Mary. It was strongly impactful, especially that opening scene. With a little divine help, sometimes things just fall into place, and for Noel, if he had done what he had intended, things for Mary would have been hell, and she, would have, even be possibly died. The power of choice is strong in that first story and it hit home a little too close.

The other story I’m going to touch on is the fourth story, Can She Get Home for Christmas? by Rebecca York. Again another story that starts with a bang. That opening in the snow, the dark and the storm. Growing up in Northern Newfoundland, I know snow storms, so I knew the panic Sam was in, and I felt the cold. I like the paranormal elements, the mystery, and the little bit of a thriller. It topped off this story and made it stand out.

Overall this anthology isn’t just stories about Christmas, it has many different elements, a good mixing of genres, and of course an amazing assortment of very talented authors. You’re getting a little bit of everything, and I truly believe there is a story in here for everyone, even if you don’t like holiday themed books. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will find an engrossing read, and fall head over heels for this magical collection.

Happy Reading

Conviction (Ash Park, #2)Conviction
By: Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Conviction (Ash Park #2) by Meghan O’Flynn was just as, no, it was more dark and thrilling then the last book. I didn’t think it was possible, but this series is fast becoming an obsession.

The second book in the Ash Park series, we are once again tossed into the dark underbelly of Ash Park, this time following Shannon Taylor, Ash Park district attorney. We met he in the last book, and I didn’t know too much about her, only that I liked her and having this story centered around her was quite a thriller treat.

Shannon is a fierce character, she is the attorney you want on your side, and would do anything to never be on her bad side. She’s a strong character, and one that I believe was written in a real, complex way that made you connect with her. She isn’t perfect, and is trying to do her best to put the baddies away, while wondering if she made a life changing mistake years ago.

I will tell you that this book, was wow. The mystery, the clues and the plot twist. I didn’t see it coming, and I was shocked. Again Meghen played with our hearts, twisted our emotions and lead us/me astray. Nothing was wasted, even the subplots. Having such multi-layered writing, added to the complexity of this story and, it made for such a big polt bomb, that I had to put the book down just to process.

This series is just everything I didn’t know I wanted, and I can’t stop reading. As I said, I’m a little obsessed, and I think my dreams are going to be a little nightmarish for a few nights. So yes, I give this book my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

The CatchThe Catch by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Catch by Phoebe Alexander is book two of the Eastern Shore Swingers Series. This book can be read as a standalone. This book is really intended for readers 18+ due to subject content. I was pleasantly surprised to find out when I started reading that this book is pretty suspenseful. It definitely adds some layers to the book that really keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting to find out what happens.

As with book one, this book invites you to join the characters at a very specific type of club and the book really does a great job detailing the club and it’s activities so you feel like you’re right there. Paisley is very self-assured. She draws people in with that trait. She manages to draw Calvin in and it’s truly the last thing she wants. Relationships aren’t for her and she stands pretty firm on that. Will Paisley be able to rely on someone other than herself when he past comes back when she least expects it? Will Calvin be able to protect Paisley and convince her of their future?

Paisley doesn’t avoid relationships for no good reason. She tries to stand her ground as a way to protect Calvin just as Calvin is protective of her. I really enjoyed the depth the characters had and the chemistry between them. Paisley felt so real. She was flawed but she was aware of it and knew it was something she needed to work on for herself. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the next book.

Give and Take (The Thorne Brothers, #2)Give and Take
By: Lee Kilraine
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Give and Take (The Thorne Brothers #2) by Lee Kilraine was a okay read that has those good feels and some good chucking moments.

My first read by this author and for this series, they read as standalones so no worries about reading out of order. This was a fun, light heart read that had me sort of hooked. I’ll tell you why, it just felt like something I’ve read before that and, there was just something bothering be about our female MC.

I’ve read a lot of these types of books this year, and you start to see a pattern. And as much as the writing is witty and the feels are good, I just wasn’t fully sucked into the story. There was this far-fetchedness to it that just kept pulling me out. Our female MC Rhia, she was a good character, but at times I felt like she was, too much, just a little. I didn’t care much for the way her family acted, especially her older sister. Maybe because I come from such a supporting family, that I just don’t get how people that are suppose to love you just, are so disapproving and mean. I didn’t like the the way it was implied that Rhia wasn’t as smart as the rest of her family. I mean, starting a business, an event planning one, isn’t anything to laugh at. Rhia is just as smart as her overachieving sister/family. She just using her brain and intelligence in a different, more creative way, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

As for Wyatt, I liked him very much. He had this spark and really stood out. I don’t want to call him a alpha, because though he showed those cliché’s, he also didn’t. He is what kept me reading, I loved it when it was his turn to tell the story. I think if this whole story was told in his POV, it would have been just… bamd! Just my opinion. Or maybe even starting with him, instead of Rhia.

Overall this book is as I said, a fun, witty, light heart read that is packed full of good feels, frustrating moments and all that romantic drama we romance lovers crave. This books gets my high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Can't ForgetCan’t Forget
By: Colleen S. Myers
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Can’t Forget by Colleen S. Myers was a fast pace, epic science fiction fantasy drama, that has me hooked just as must as the first book.

The second book in the Solum Series, is a continuations series so I highly suggest you read the first book, as it will give you much needed backstory and get a better understanding of Bata and Marin. I very much enjoyed reading about Bata and Marin, it fit better in this book and actually added something good to the plot and at times drove it forward.

What I will say, and something I find irritating with female MC’s/the hero; was that she fell into the whole,I can do it myself trope. She didn’t listen to reason and, it bit her hard in the behind. But it’s like TV, no matter what I mutter into the book she’s an’t going to listen. I do get it, I do, it moves the story forwards, crates drama, and a deadly situation. I just didn’t like the whole “You can’t tell me what to do!” trope. No one likes to be told what they can and can’t do. But sometimes, closing your mouth and processing why a person is asking you not to do something dangerous, could save your life. I’m in the military, so I know this, teach this and stress this, to my young subordinates that have the same attitudes.

Outside of that, like the first book, we are still getting pieces of Bata’s past, this drives not only the plot but the reader. The authors does this through flashbacks, and they’re pretty intense. There is bit of a plot bomb towards the end, and you are going to have your mouths opened. I’m not going to say, cause I don’t want to ruin a thing about this original read. Not only is the writing smooth and easy to follow but the raw emotions that it’s lace with, will pull at your hearts string, snapping them, making you feel for Bata, and for the hell that she went through.

Overall this book, this series is a must read. I give this book my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval. It’s truly something special and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.

Happy Reading.

Beneath a Blue Moon (Crescent City Wolf Pack, #2)Beneath a Blue Moon by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beneath a Blue Moon (Crescent City Wolf Pack Book 2) by Carrie Pulkinen
This is book two in the series and it follows Chase second in command to Luke the alpha. Chase is wary of witches and avoids anything to do with them at all costs due to an event from his past. When he meets Rain a cursed witch he tries his best to avoid her even though the Alpha has put him on cake duty which deals with her directly. He is fine with just being civil until he realizes she is his fate bound. When an energy vampire begins targeting witches his protective instincts arise. Can he protect her while also keeping his family safe from her curse. Will he be forced to pick between his mate and the pack?

I loved this novel and both the main characters Rain and Chase. Rain had a spunky personality, strong will, and was full of compassion. She looks for ways to end her curse and hates that it causes others with witch blood harm for their kindness. Chase is a great guy. He is dedicated to the pack and to his family. He also sounds mouthwatering from the description in the book. I loved following the romance between the two and the storyline was easy to follow. I could not put this novel down. That’s why I rate it 5 stars.

Not sure where to begin with this review… I also wasn’t sure how many stars to give this book, I started out with 4 then stared at the screen thinking wait a minute, just because I’m totally ticked off about a few things doesnt mean its a 4 star book, it actually means in my opinion it’s a 5 star book because of how i’m feeling, which of course means it got to me, and that is usually the author’s intent isn’t it?

Im left confused after finishing this story, this is probably because it’s the 2nd part of this series and like an idiot I didn’t read the 1st. I had no problems while reading the entire book, until like I said it came to an end and I literally threw my kindle…I was so upset because I have no idea what happened…This tells me that I need to without fail, go pick up the first in this series and see if it helps me at all with how this one ended, this will also help in me being 100% ready when the 3rd is released, because I will have the 3rd the very second I can get a hold of it.

I sincerely loved this story, I loved the characters, GiGi and Angela were completely awesome!! Alex and Leigh made me fall in love with them immediately and their lifelong friendship even with the long break in it was great. I loved the way they interacted and how their relationship was aloud to grow, not just happen, was something I seriously appreciated. There are 2 other characters in this story that have me sitting here with question marks above my head…this is where I feel like I’m missing something and although I’m not sure Ill get these cleared up when I read the first, I still feel like I’ll get a little more understanding.

The story moved a tad bit slow in parts but it was still written so beautifully that I read every word and whenever I had to set it down I couldn’t wait to pick it back up. This is an awesome read and I want the next one like 25 minutes ago…I can not wait to see where all of this goes.

Highly recommend, but read them both, I have a feeling that is exactly what I should have done!

I have been so looking forward to this book. I absolutely loved the first one and knew this would be be just as good and I was right…

I loved how this story started out and I usually get upset when it takes a few pages to figure out what is going on but in this one it was all part of the build up that needed to happen to appreciate it all. I loved every word in this book, there was no filler added anywhere, every single page was a needed addition and I so appreciate that in my books.

I love all of the characters in this story, I do hope I get a little more about Hannah in either the next book or books to follow, theres alot of questions I have about her and I can’t wait to find all of those answers.

It was nice revisiting Liv just a bit and getting some updates about her and I’m truly hoping that this series will continue for many books to come. I sincerely love the writing style of this author and will be one clicking any and everything she has available from this point forward.

You absolutely could read this as a standalone but I don’t recommend it as the first in this series gives you the background you need about this team and not to mention its just awesome!!

Highly recommend!! Loved It!!

Oh how I wish I had read the first in this series, not because I was lost at all in this book but because I have fallen head over heels in love with Libby LOL This is my first read by this author and I absolutely positively loved it!! There was something about the first few pages that had me completely hooked to this story and I will be going back to read the first especially knowing there is a third coming soon, and thank goodness for that because the ending of this one had me totally frustrated, probably not as frustrated as poor Libby though LOL

This was awesome, I loved the constant action in this book, there was never a dull moment and there was more than one occasion I thought I had things figured out and of course was totally off base. I loved how everything happened and I especially loved the way Libby handled her work situation towards the end, although not sure how all that will play out and what about her relationship with James…So so many questions and I can not wait for the next in this series.

This author writes an amazing story, and it was so much fun to read, and I can almost see all of this playing out on a tv show and even have some ideas of who would play who. I can’t say enough good things about this book and this author..

Loved It!!!!!

5 Stars

This is my second book by this author, and I can say she has joined the list of my favorites. I loved this book, everything about it even when I was sitting here bawling, like ugly nose blowing take my breath away bawling.

I love MC books, but this one has a completely different feel to it, it doesn’t concentrate so much on the club but more on the members and I really really like that now as well.

What Carly went through in her life was so awful and I completely understand her mindset and why she felt the way she did about no strings relationships, and then her torment just seems to multiply right about the time she thinks she could possibly have it all, the decisions she had to make had me totally falling apart. Thank God for Chance, I loved loved loved him. He was everything you want in your book heros.

This author is brilliant in my opinion and kept me glued to this story and when I had to put it down to do some adulting I still thought about it.

I can’t wait for more and also can’t wait to see what else there is available by this author.

Simply Awesome!!
