Missy LeHand is THE GATEKEEPER!
930229
Through Kathryn Smith' new book, THE GATEKEEPER, she has brought Missy LeHand's unusual and fascinating life to the attention of the public. Too many great women have fallen through the cracks and have been forgotten as time has moved on.  Kathryn, because of her interest in FDR, found MIssy and decided she wanted to know more. It took more than three years for this book to materialize. And now we have it in our hands to enjoy. Kudos to Kathryn for her beautifully written book and I do see a future movie to be made. Fabulous.

Meesha and Denesha have brought the Bentley's Manor's residents back in a furor of even more drama.  Ms. Cleo's opens up this story as she witnesses her life flash before her eyes while lying in a pool of her very own blood.

Takiah, Ms. Cleo's unscrupulous granddaughter shows up unannounced with nothing but the clothes on her back and her trick baby.  Takiah is on the run from her pimp/husband Kameron, in a kill or be killed situation.  Next we have Princess, an abused and misused child. Despite all the cruel breaks she endures, Princess finds solace in three things:  she has the voice of an angel, superb writing skills, and a genuine friend in Lucky.  Then there's WooWoo, who luckily escapes hood life in Bentley Manor via marriage with a hard working man.  Woo Woo has a secret that she's sadistically jonesing for.  Lastly we have Keisha, the neighborhood kitchen beautician that is tied to Smokey, her childhood love, father of her children and the ultimate weight around her neck.

Ms. Cleo tries to steer Takiah to Jesus by way of Rev. Eddie Meyer, and has no idea that she's actually handing her over to the devil in disguise.  Princess happens upon a piece of happiness with the discovery of her magnificent vocal skills, but tragedy strikes and stomps her dreams into oblivion.  Smokey's brother, Shakespeare, is coaxing Keisha to improve her life by offering to finance her way through beauty school while Smokey is weighing her down with guilt about his addiction via her past urging.  Woo Woo is being lured back into a sex trap that could cost her everything she's fought so hard to attain.

Shameless Hoodwives is the second installation of the Hoodwives series, and it is an even more electrifying read as the authors introduce more tenants of the crime ridden Bentley Manor.  Invigorating plots magnify the intensity of each scene that creates a breathless anticipation as you delve further and further into the sordid lives of the people that occupy this notorious neighborhood.  Ms. Mink and Ms. Diamond has once again charismatically articulated another masterpiece as they fascinate the readers with the continuation of the various hardships and ordeals that the Hoodwives experience whether it be desperately or shamelessly!  Awesome read!!!!!!!

This book is hard to put down once you start. Missy Kirtley is a talented writer - I look forward to finding out what happens next in volume 2!

This cd is good...but missy needs to realize the age of most of her fans.  Most of her fans are not old enough to appreciate...the old school flav. she put in it.  Not sayin that the beats aren't hott(cuz they are) and not sayin that the lyrics aren't CRAZY( cuz they are), but i feel she needs to keep it more up todate.  Her best albums are Da real world and Missy E....So addictive.  Hopefully her next one will be more up todate.

This book was fun, but this woman is nuts! Who could spend all their time ensuring that everything is this organised and tidy!? Having said that, I may not follow the letter of the Kondo Method but the spirit has definitely taken hold and I'm finding clearing out and organising much easier - I'm making faster decisions. This book works like Occam's Razor where possessions are concerned.

OMG.ok this one is a cliff hanger! This second book in the trilogy of Bash and Angelica does nothing but pull us further into the RTMC world and shows how saavy Angelica really is about both her worlds. Multiple scenes show just how smart she really is both scientifically and politically. Bash is slowly finessing her into the kinkier aspects of his sexy times and Im on the edge of my seat waiting to see how far he can get her to go cuz Im pretty sure sexy Bash is a sadist. Once I picked this up I couldn't stop reading until I ran into that dang cliff hanger and I wasn't ready for it to stop.
Volume one was fantastic and volume two has upped the ante. Cant wait for volume 3!

25 stars!
The women in this book club that started coming in Miissy's Creme de la Cupcake shop turned out to be scandalous, devious and murderous.
Missy joined and started to enjoy the club, but there were some things that took place before she even knew any of them that she didn't know what was going on until the murder and things went crazy.
The vandalizing of her home and business in Dellville was too much to handle.
YOU REALLY WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!

Even if the reader  is not a 36-year old ex-rocker, lapsed Catholic, defected Scientologist and the fourth in a family of eight complicated people, this is a book that will enchantingly take you into the world of a heroine who IS.

In her deft handling of  After The Sucker Punch, Wilke shows the same breezy style that has made her a favorite Huffington Post writer.  A few pages into this book one realizes that relating to the specific  details of Wilkes heroine isn't the point.  Relating to Tessas personal zig zagging through her life ISand the point is well made.

Well Done, Lorraine Wilke!

Finally...FINALLY...women are letting down their ponytails and talking OUT LOUD about the reality of new motherhood. It's so refreshing to hear stories that you can actually relate to, and Claudine Wolk takes it one step further, offering advice for surviving those early months. If only she'd been living next door to me when I was going through it all.

A great read when relocating yourself!

Many people read books as a way to escape.  Others as a way to travel.  Still others a way to view the world through someone else's eyes.  This book does all three and more.  And of all places - Siberia, Russia!

 I thoroughly enjoyed Rebecca Lerwill's "Relocating Mia".  Ms. Lerwill's fine attention to detail and grasp of the English language is stunning.  The reader is compelled to root for the "good guys", despise the bad and feel as though they have been transported to each area in which Ms. Lerwill describes.  In the beginning of the book, I found myself slowly drinking in every word, yet by the last one hundred pages, I could not turn the pages fast enough.

As she combines suspense, intrigue, mystery and romance, Ms. Lerwill has some great lines in this book.  I would definitely recommend "Relocating Mia" to others and am relieved that her sequel, "The Acronym," has already been released!

When your mother sells your soul to Satan in exchange for political power, you just know you've got a rotton mother. But, when you find out that the political power Mom's been granted will allow her to take over the world, trample on everyone's rights, and wipe out anyone who gets in the way of her planned Utopia -- you've just got to leave Hell for a bit to bring Mommie Dearest under control.

Demon Chick is a wild ride of a political thriller, romance, fantasy, chick-lit potpourri with some pretty strange characters. There's a sympathetic demon named Brad, a gorgeous student-radical stud with a jealous girlfriend, and a double-dealing Mother's-helper who provides our girl-on-the-way-Down with a Teen Vogue quality make-over!

Marilyn Kaye has given her fans a quick, easy, very entertaining read with an outstandingly surprising twist at the end. One can only think that this surely must be the beginning of a really fun series. The possabilities are endless for divinely hellish complications!

Loved it! I'm waiting for more!

Missy is an independent, free spirited, stubborn and feisty heroine. She is perfectly matched with arrogant play boy Roi.

This book was really, really good and I love the extended version, when I read the original release it felt like there was something missing, but with this extended version it's all there.

I love how Missy is able to hide her kick ass self and how she is absolutely loyal to her friends.

Simply speaking, Ms. Somers again takes on WESTERN medicine as we know it. She simply is the best at what she does. And she lives what she speaks. Like breakthrough, this book will have you riveted and saying to yourself, Well that makes sense.

Doctors are learning in med school more about pharmaceuticals than curing and prevention. if your legs shakes, take a pill. If your upset, take a pill. All the toxins and chemicals and we wonder why cancer is everywhere. It's all about money people! Not health! Not living a better life. Its about milking us dry and making us sick. And in making us sick, they can milk us dry...

I only wish that this book was available when so many I've known were diagnosed. They have all died. I would have been relentless in making them read this book. They just might still be here.

The thing that just blows my mind and infuriates me is hearing these critics and the controversy about Suzanne and her books. Get well by eating well and eliminating toxins, she says. Makes sense, don't it? Not to most, they grab their torches and start a witch hunt. What is wrong with this world? CONVOLUTED LOGIC, might just be what's wrong....

Go on Suzanne! I hope this book goes through the roof!!!! We need this woman and her voice. And buy it!!! You won't be sorry!!!

It's amazing to see Sagara on her game. I was worried she was losing her touch, since the Elantra series is really starting to meander and naval-gaze. (I'm still reading it though. I think she just needs to end it) But she's putting out this new series at the same time and it's such a breath of fresh air! So she definitely CAN still do strong, poignant writing. This new story is interesting, and enthralling, and heartbreaking. I was crying while reading this on the subway. And not just the end, I'm talking throughout the book. Yes, there's a supernatural adventure plot, but this is really a story about human connections and grief. Real, REAL grief. It's amazing. I've already read and loved the second book as well. I'm looking forward to the final one.

The power of touch....

  Reporter Sloan Janson can't believe his best friend, Rob Dillon, was hoodwinked into marrying someone he'd just met based on a supposedly psychic matchmaker!  Everyone knows that psychic matchmakers are just frauds, don't they?  Sloan is determined to prove Rob has been deceived by a fraud and sets off to meet matchmaker Cally Matthews.  But what happens when Sloan and Cally touch, for the power is electrifying?  After all, Cally knows a matchmaker can never have her own true love or her power will be lost forever....

  Beverly Rae takes readers on a wild emotional ride in TOUCH ME.  Readers will cry, laugh, yell, and jump for joy in Ms. Rae's beautiful tale of soul mates finding one another.  I will never look at pork rinds in the same manner again; Ms. Rae manages to take a snack that I consider absolutely distasteful and turn it into part of one of the most sensuous scenes I have ever read.  That is true talent!

  Sloan's disbelief of Cally's talent is understandable.  So many charlatans are out there that it is only natural that an investigative reporter such as Sloan would have doubts, particularly considering both he and Rob come from wealthy families.  His awakening to belief in Cally's ability is nothing short of magical.  The obstacles that face Cally and Sloan would seem practically insurmountable, except for the power of love.

  Beverly Rae delivers another hit with TOUCH ME.  If you haven't read one of Ms. Rae's stories, TOUCH ME is the perfect one to start with as it showcases her fantastic writing skills.  I couldn't put this one down until I'd finished it!  Keep the great stories coming, Ms. Rae!

Missy and Chas are back in the latest edition to the Frosted Love series and we all know what that means. Mystery! Intrigue! Murder! Missy's kind heart once again takes center stage after Spenser, the B&B's all around go-to guy, rescues a young woman from drowning in the ocean. This woman, of course, is at the center of the mystery and Missy calls upon friends, Echo and Kel, to investigate and gather information. I was happy to see Spenser take a major role in this story and I always love the interaction between Echo and Carla, Missy's friend and decorator. I'd love to see a compilation of all of the cupcake recipes created by Missy. That would make everything complete!

LKH was my absolute favorite contemporary paranormal author for many years.  I used to preorder and read immediately, then listen to the unabridged CD version as soon as it was available; now I speed read the books, whenever I get to them, and I get them at low or no cost. K. Wilkins has saved me a great deal of typing in her most excellent review!  To think I look back with nostalgia on the days of Anita's ceaseless whining about dead mom, "good girls" and what the catholic church had taught her about their sexual limits; not to mention how short her legs, yet large her breasts, were. Now I'm speed reading the print copies, skipping over many pages/paragraphs and no longer buying the CDs. If someone would just do a Cliff Notes version of the ABs so one could see the end of the "story" arc, many trees could be spared.  Mea culpa, but having been in at the start, I still feel a desire to see where the train wreck finally ends; perhaps the next AB will cure me.  Thank you, K. Wilkins and may I recommend Deborah Harkness' All Souls Trilogy for your consideration?
