Wow. Um, wow. I have to admit, the cover did me in on this one. It's been on my TBR pile for a while now and I just haven't had a chance to get out to pick up a copy. And there was no way I was sacrificing a cover like that for the sake of my Kindle. No, this was one that I needed on my shelf. And it will stay there. The story doesn't disappoint. At all. After meeting Tara at an even she organized, Mick knows that he needs to get to know her. She's not the super-models celebrity poaching women he's used to. She's a real woman with a real life. She's down to earth and naturally sexy. Everything about her intrigues him and despite her initially rejecting him, he still pursues her. Tara is a single mom and small business owner. She's been on her own nearly her entire life and she's made it this far without a man. But when she meets Mick, she quickly realizes that he's the real-life version of every woman's fantasy, including hers. Sexy, strong, successful. He's compassionate and cares about kids, and when he sets his sights on something he wants, he doesn't give up. This is an intense, emotional and erotic romance that is sure to leave any reader breathless. The passion between Mick and Tara sizzles and the story is real and relatable. Despite Mick's celebrity status, Jaci Burton writes him in a way that makes him tangible, bringing the fantasy of snagging a professional sports star a little closer to reality for her readers. But it's not all fun and football games. The story is full of real-life issues, including teenage drama, alcoholism and emotional neglect. For me, that just made this story more relatable and enjoyable. You can read my full review here: http://secretsofabooklover.blogspot.c...
So that's what Kafkaesque means!
Gotta finish the series.
The Move to the Right I had wanted to read "The Nine" since it was published in 07. My frugality got in the way. The online price hovered too far above my target price point. However, when I did purchase the book on Amazon a couple of months ago, its price reflected the underlying theme Toobin hammered home - liberalism was dead. Toobin's brilliant, if slightly partisan tome, traced the decline & fall of the liberal court, as the conservative movement within the Republican Party triumphed by ushering onto the court its most conservative ideologues in a generation. The only reason I was able to buy this book for less than a buck is that so few care about this slide, a precipitous drop really, into the realm of right winged politik. The Court, as the country, had moved far from the judicial sensitivity of the Warren Court. As Toobin so eloquently concludes: " ...the Court is a product of a democracy and represents, with sometimes chilling precision, the best and worst of the people. We can expect nothing more, and nothing less, than the Court we deserve."
