The first time I had this tea was in a small tea shop in Sturbridge, MA  Unfortunately because of the lousy economy it closed.
So how happy do you think I was when I found this at Amazon!!!!!
Have it with an apricot scone and your day will be complete.

Once again, Adriana Trigiani has given us a masterpiece in the form of a book not to be forgotten.  From characters developed with such depth that I swear I attended Mass, to a story that often had me in tears, breaking my heart feeling the pain of the characters.  Another one of Trigiani's not to be missed.  I'm on social security and save not to miss out!!!!

I have seen too many fiction and non-fiction "reviews" and reviewers that unfairly reveal major plots points and secrets. (A "review" is NOT a "Synopsis") Authors work so diligently to build to these big reveals and an insensitive reviewer spills the beans ... WELL, it ain't happening this time! I am NOT going to deprive the reader of the thrill of discovery, the adrenaline rushes, the gut-clinching terror, the outrageous giggles, and the incredible LOVE that is to be discovered in the pages of "Heartprints of Africa"!
The author paints vibrant vistas and experiences with her words, one can truly imagine relaxing on the cool porch, morning light growing as one sips sweet chai tea. Or trying to sleep with lions roaring or artillery explosions not so far away. Gracefully and effortlessly the tome flows back and forth, a gentle ebb and flow that spans 40 years. The gossamer threads of thought, emotions, and experiences weave together in a beautiful tapestry of Life.
The craftsmanship is exquisite! The voice change is incredible ... seeing and hearing the impressions and perceptions of a 5-year-old, then that voice matures through time and experiences of life. Tight bonds of Love, Family, and Faith grow even stronger through the challenging times and wondrous adventures. It is ingeniously embellished by excerpts from the beautifully detailed letters written by Martha(Mother) and John(Daddy) ...Absolutely Masterful!
I have read the book twice and am on my third reading (something I just don't do) .. and the discoveries keep coming!!!!
This is Volume 1 .... Can't wait for Volume 2!

This book I devoured in one day, I would recommend not beginning in the late afternoon as if you are someone, like me.. I could not Stop!
This is a Psychological thriller, drama, obsession, abuse, some mild-moderate BDSM.. (I dare say more as I do NOT want to spoil for the reader as part of what makes this book so good is the suspense and also not knowing who to trust, or what will happen next????
Harper is our heroine in this book.. She lives with her single mom working and saving to eventually live on her own and go to school.. On her birthday, she walks into her home to find her mother arguing w/her scum of boyfriend, Tony.. Yet this is different... He is holding a gun to her head.. A Tragic even happens and Harlow wakes up in the hospital, with a surgeon by her side, James... Harlow is confused, scared, and has experienced so much in such a short time, she is very scared and vulnerable.. With NO FAMILy - James takes her in and within 4 months they are engaged to be married...
James nephew, Sinclair Elliott had arranged to work for one month at his uncles hospital before med school begins (in NY) his grandmother, Nina and 'Sin' are extremely close.. She would like him to find all he can about this young woman, Harlow.. 17 years younger than her son, whom he is going to marry.... While upon meeting Harlow, he realizes she is very fragile and his uncle keeps her locked away from her friends and the outside world (unless he is with her) he controls EVERYTHING Harlow does.. This is disturbing to him and as Harlow and Sin become friends, they open up to one another about their pasts and he begins to understand the sick obsession his uncles has on Harlow and thinks of her as a possession... This book will keep you on a major Rollercoaster, you will have to watch how this puzzle actually leads further back from that tragic night (on Harlow's bday) and how it leads to what the future Harlow is still yet to find... It is one book that I believe I will be remembering and definitely recommend for your TBR list!!!

Ladybug Lin here...Surprise, surprise!

I just finished reading Sandra Cox's far reaching suspense story MINDER..and may I just take a moment here and say OMG!

This tale grabbed me from the very start, wrapping tendrils around me so compelling, I could not put it down until I reached the very END!

FANTASTIC!

When I reached the end, though, I realized there will be at least one more book following this one, and although it surprised me, I was glad to know Sandra Cox means to continue the saga she created here in MINDER.

FIVE STARTS for this haunting, brilliantly constructed suspense story.

I can't wait until I can clap my eyes on the next book in this series.

WELL DONE, MS. COX!

I do not like when reviews give away the story, but I will say that this story is not your typical bad boy/nice girl who despite trying to avoid eachother, fall in love, have crazy sex, and live happily ever after. No, this book is SOOOO much more! Don't even try to guess what you think will happen because you'll be wrong. This book keeps you guessing and really feeling for the main characters. Yes, there is amazingly hot sex scenes, but the story and development of the characters is what really makes it stand out from what you are used to reading. The author is currently working on Carnage 2 and I am so looking forward to see where this story goes. This is a must buy book!

i have been blessed to have had so much access to wonderful music throughout my short exsistence here on planet earth (over thirty and not counting)!  however, this cd stands so far from the rest (excluding a few)  that i can't even put it into one of my own categories!  what has taken  place here is an artist taking their talents to another level.  monday,  although not really known stateside, has had some great success overeseas.  but instead of following the popular music route to gain a following here  in the states, she took her talents to another hemisphere!  without any  exaggeration, this album will have you "singing to the top of your  lungs".  there's no need for me to write about certain tracks or  explain why this is different from the rest...trust me, you'll fall in  between the verses and bridges and wrap yourself with her positive,subtle  messages.  no matter how i feel (and i work in a somewhat stressful  environment) this album picks me up and cradles me like mamma (don't let my  wife see this)!  enjoy it and oh yeah...play it loud!

Wow!! S.R Grey has done it again!! She has written yet another smashing hit that is not to be missed!! In fact after you finish book one, "Inevitable Detour," (just as amazing!!), go straight to this book!!

"Inevitable Circumstances," picks up where the first book left off. The main characters are carried over, as are parts of the plot from the first book, but that is all that links them together. This novel is so very different than the first, in this duology, but no less thrilling or astounding as the first.

S. R Grey has a phenomenal gift in her use words and her ability to draw the reader in and not let them go throughout the entire novel. In fact, once it ends the reader is still wanting more... More with the characters, more with other plots and story lines, more novels in this set.

Writing with such crispness and vitality, the author brings the reader right up close and personal in every aspect of the story. You truly feel as if you are a part of the story, not on the outside looking in.

Engaging, gripping, full of twist and turns, fast paced and attention grabbing, "Inevitable Consequences," is a true hit from beginning to end. You will not be disappointed.

Highly recommend as your immediate next read...

Do not miss this book!!  It is so good you do not want to put it down!! I saved it to read on a weekend away and am so glad I did. I cannot wait for the sequel to come out. I also loved that it was written in the World War II era and filled with faith inspiring chapters.

*I volunteered to review a Copy of this book from the Author*

Thank you so very much Ms. Larsen!! I am extremely honored and grateful!! :)

This was my first time reading Ms. Larsen's work and it definitely WON'T be my last!! Holy Cow!! I loved this book!! I was hooked from that shocking prologue. This novel gave me chills, kept me on the edge of my seat with my eyes glued to my kindle, and kept my heart beating super fast. I had no clue what was going to happen next with every turn of the page.  I really enjoyed that there was multiple point of views and how i could picture everything so vividly within my mind.

I kept trying to put all of the pieces together. Ms. Larsen created such a bone-chilling and addictive novel!! She's such an evil genius!! I have never read a book like this one before It's so much more than a story it's a journey. It takes suspense to a whole other level. I am so looking forward to picking up more of her work!! I also can't wait to read what she comes up with next!! :)

If you haven't already One-Clicked, What are you waiting for exactly?!?! Get it Today!! I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a different kind of read that you won't be able to put down!! You will FEEL everything!! Be warned though this story isn't for the faint of heart but i am so hoping that you'll take a chance on it!!  I hope you love it as much as i do my fellow book lovers!! 4.75 Stars all around!! :)

A rare gem of a novel that will have you ignoring life for as many hours as possible because it is impossible to put down. The story line is captivating, the writing so poetic in places that you can't help but read it out loud. This story will terrify and thrill you. I long for time to fly by so that I can devour the second book! Beware though: never again will your casually let your foot fall over the side of your bed while you are falling asleep......!!!!!

This is a book that sat on my shelf for awhile.  I would be between books, pick it up, not be able to get into it and something else would come along.  Well, a few days ago I picked this one back up and did NOT PUT IT DOWN!!!  It picks up very quickly and is full of surprises!  My first experience with this author will definitely not be my last!!  There is also an excerpt from her new 2018 release at the end! 2018!!!  I don't think I can wait that long!!!

WOW, This book was recommended to me based on other books I read or purchased and OMG am I glad i took the risk! What an amazing masterpiece Mrs. Dohner has created! When I read reviews from others I had mixed feeling about buying this book? There where so many warning about *traumatizing rape scenes* however I did not think it was traumatizing...yes in the beginning you are hit very hard with graphic details on how these characters are treated but it was a def need to know to understand the gravity of the situations they've been forced to live through their whole life. As I have read each book in this series (as soon as they came out no less!) I don't want to spoil it for anyone. 416 (Fury) is a prisoner, not because he has done anything wrong but just for who and what he is, which is half human and half animal. Forced to live a lonely existence and be tested on by humans for vaccines, war fare and pretty much everything a rat would be used for. Enter Ellie whom he assumes is just another horrible lab person come to torch-er him some more and does something in his mind to make her just like them. And if he ever get put he's going to kill her for being just like those other horrid humans. As soon as Ellie is approached and told that the company she works for is during horrid things well she makes a choice and even with her life on the line she realizes she must save 416 (Fury) and the others that she knows are down there! Putting her life on the line she does whats right..............After all this we are taken into an amazing life on how these now newly freed must learn to do day to day things while dealing with the reality that not all humans are happy to find out they exists. They do this at Homeland, a place the government gives them out of shame from "not knowing" what Mercile was up to. For her help Ellie is asked to come help the newly freed women learn and live in their dorm but when Fury realizes shes their he sooo wants to kill the human who he thinks wronged him. .....*************OK I CANT SAY ANYMORE BUT BEWARE WHEN YOU HAVE A NEW RACE OF SPECIES WHOM ARE ALL SPLICED WITH ANIMALS RANGING FROM DOGS TO TIGERS YOUR GOING TO GET IT ALL ****OF COARSE HOTTT SEX, LOTS ;)! LOVE, HATE, LEARNING, HONESTY AND A WORLD OF NEW THINGS BE READY FOR A HELL OF A GREAT BOOK**********
