I can readily admit that I have a slight fascination with rowing. And the men who do it. *grins* I never grew up anywhere on the northeast coast where it is in fashion, and I've not spent enough time across the pond to be that familiar with it. It's exciting to watch, though, and when I read the blurb for 'Stroke Rate' by LM Somerton, I figured it was a win-win, since I already adore this author.
