Essa Alroc has a real winner with this book. Fast paced and entertaining, I read it without putting the book down and immediately went to the Kindle Store to buy her other book.

The characters she creates make you care about them from the first page and the author's ability to bring laughs into tense moments in the story make a nice contrast to the action and anxiety as they move through the challenges they face right from page one.

This is an author I will be watching from now on. She made a fan out of me about 5 pages in with her well written, very entertaining storytelling.

This book was filled with excitement from the beginning to the end. A definite must read for all. I'm in the middle of another book called Foolz by the same author, be sure to download a copy of that one too.

I won this book at a local vendor/craft show and I am SOOOO glad I did!  It is probably one of the best books I have read in a long time.  When I was younger, I used to REALLY get into what I was reading.  I could see each character in my mind; I could hear them talking; I could see where they lived, etc.  It has been a long time since I've had that happen with a book.  Until I read this book.

The author writes with such detail that you are literally able to see exactly what she wants you to see.  I won this book on a Saturday and I was finished by the following Friday.  I had a very hard time putting the book down.

I would recommend this book to any of my friends.

I absolutely loved this book.  It hooked me from page 1.  I loved the way it was written, although I could see how some people might find it annoying. The characters were well-drawn and the story was gripping.  I chose this book for my book club and everyone loved it. I highly recommend it.

This was an incredibly wonderful book, with complex characters of great depth, and a great plot. At first, it would seem that these two characters would never find common ground, much less romantic interest.  But, when their personalities begin to mesh, there's no way to stop the process.  Slowly, and the reader is certainly hooked on every advance or retreat. Their feeligs start changing, and it's a great surprise, even to them.  The two kids are delightful and do much to advance the story and the romance. You end up rooting for these guys to get together, and as you progress through the book you get so emotionally attached to them that they feel very real.  The supporting characters are finely drawn and do much to add to the enjoyment of the story.  The background of the plight of the indigenous people gives great scope to the book and lifts it high above your usual readings.  I like best, the books that tell a great story, but also give the reader some new and intersting imformation.  Obviously well researched, this one does both superlatively.  I like this story so much, that as soon as I finish this review, I'm going to order another one by this terrific author.  My advice: do youself a favor and buy this book!!

This book has it all! From heartwarming to heart-wrenching, the characters and plot kept me guessing. I found that I identified very well with the several main characters, which to me shows that the author really knows people. The ability to create a character that is similar in personality to a person that one could meet on the street, and then make them into a friend or an enemy is an incredible skill. The storyline was phenomenal as well, with many great turns and twists.  I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, and would heartily recommend it to anyone.

Just finished reading 'Luck is Just the Beginning'. A wonderful well written story about a man who wins the lottery, how it changes his life, the struggles, a roller coaster of events and his personal success at remaining true to himself. I found myself smiling at the end..almost in tears and feeling good all at the same time. I think you will love this book, It is very well written with a comfortable flow and great descriptions of life in a small town in Puerto Rico. I highly recommend it!

Win or Lose, I Love You! is a great book that I am sure will get a lot of use in the upcoming years. I loved the moral of the story that it doesn't matter if you win or lose, it matters how you respond. My favorite line in the book is "Coyote, you behaved badly, but you aren't bad."

One thing we have been trying to correct in our speech with Esther is when she does something good to say "good job" and and "good girl." Praising the character and not the person. Hard, because that is not what we as Americans do. This book went right along with that.

Thanks to BookLook Bloggers for a copy of Win or Lose, I Love You!

Pearls Oyster: A Memoir is a must read book for so many women.  This heartfelt books reaches into the inner soul and speaks to the humility of triumph after being held down, while drowning in a quagmire of personal challenges.  This definitely could lead one to question his sanity, dignity, loyalty and self-worth,  all of lifes apparatuses that are needed to navigate a successful life.  I absolutely love this book.  I cheered for the main character, Pearl, when no one seemed to be in her corner.  Her victory became my victory and I cried when she crossed the finish line into self-love and worthiness.  The writer, Seleta J. Bright, has made a fan of me and I warn you ahead of time, you will not be able to put the book down before you exhale at the very last page.  This masterfully written treasure chest of twists and turns read like fiction and non-fiction.  I do hope she is offered a movie deal for the book because so many would benefit from seeing it on the Silver Screen.  So for now, I await her next book.  It might sound like a clich, but I just became her Number One Fan.

I truly believe that this book is worth your time any money. First of all it is educational. The authors go to great lengths to explain the way our bodies work. Secondly, it is motivational. After reading the book it is hard not to follow the author's advice regarding healthy lifestyle. Last, but not least, the book is also fun to read. The writing style involves the reader and keeps him interested until the end. I highly recommend this book for everyone. Dont Miss it.

Win Kelly Charles did a wonderful job of self-publishing her book and getting it to Amazon for sale. Quite an accomplishment for a young woman.  It takes a great deal of courage to put your feelings down on paper for others to read and she has done it very well. She gives us a snapshot of what it is like living as a physically disabled person with Cerebral Palsy in the mountain town of Aspen and how, with determination and tenacity she takes to the hills on skis and a snowboard and bikes down main street. We hear about her exceptional parents who support her at every turn and Win shares her grief of the tragic loss of her mother who was her anchor.
Win shows us that despite her challenges of slow speech and numerous surgeries that have limited her mobility, she has a college degree, and a sharp and intelligent mind that she shares with the children she teaches and her readers.
It is a charming and enlightening book that I highly recommend to anyone who is curious of what is going on in the minds of the special people around us.

This was a fabulous  book. One of the best I've read so far this year, with clever plot twists that I never saw coming. The characters are fully developed and engaging, and the book moves quickly. Some books are like potato chips--you can't just have one, you need the whole bag. Anne McAneny books are more like crack---one hit and you can become totally hooked!!  After reading this one, I went on to read three others by her. Each one was superb.
