“...some small part of her had reacted to the passion inside him. Despite his role as a titled gentleman, there seemed to be a facet inside him that society could not tame, something stimulating yet dangerous, like standing at the edge of a cliff and feeling the mysterious, subtle pull to jump.”

Thank you for accepting my friend request! Your books are so sweet and heart-wrenching, and I cannot wait to read your 10th book for Whiskey Creek!

P.S. My favorite character was Phoenix. Her story was literally one of the most heart-breaking stories I had ever read, and I was amazed by her resilience and her kindness when she had every right to be bitter. She was truly inspiring. Thank you!

There's about 15 of us. We all read what we want and we all talk about what we like, love and didn't like. It's a lot of fun and a really good way to get book recommendations. Through the Smoke has been added to all their reading lists. It's such a great price on Amazon that you can't pass it up.I can't wait to for them to read it.
