Take a set of female triplets and male twins and total chaos and misunderstandings abound. It all starts with Quinn and Katherine stepping in as their sister Corrie for a business meeting. What they don't know is that Peter has stepped in for his brother John at the same meeting. Peter and Katherine are attracted to each other, only they think their John and Corrie, who are finding their attracted to each other also. Confused yet? This book is deliciously funny with some poignant moments. The fiesty character, Belle Gumph is priceless. Besides, you can't go wrong with a writer who has her primary male character, in a passionate moment, sweep up the love of his life into his arms and proceed to bump her head on the bedroom doorjamb. It's comedic moments like this that make me devour Mary Kay's books.

One on One is well worth the price of the book. Michelin Albee is a mechanic, tow truck driver, and arm wrestler with a 14 year old son, Eric. Noah Tessler is Eric's uncle. His brother fathered the child, but died before seeing him born. It's only been recently that Noah discovered Michelin and Eric. He goes to check them out, and hopefully become a family with them, in disguise. He sets their meeting up by vandalizing his rental car. Mich comes to tow him. Eric figures out rather quickly who he is, but Mich does not. His secret comes out, just as she's trying to seduce him. End of seduction. She decides to teach him a lesson as only a woman can. And what fun, we as the reader have on that ride.

Mary Ellen Johnson is the founder and executive director of the Orphan Train Herigage Society of America. She's also known as "the orphan train lady." This volume is an excellent outgrowth of her interest in the 75-year orphan train era in American history. It is filled with accounts of orphan train riders, written by riders themselves or their descendants. The stories illustrate the wide range of riders' experiences. Some were orphans. Some were abandoned. Other children who rode orphan trains had parents who could not support them and gave them up hoping they'd have better lives. Some accounts describe finding loving families, while others were overworked or suffered abuse. Orphan train riders overcame incredible odds and emerged as heroes of modern history. Read this book to learn more about them.

This book absolutely overflows with memories for anyone who has grown up attending the Iowa State Fair. The pictures that date back from the very first fair to the most recent years show just how the Iowa State Fair has become a pasttime for so many families and groups of people. It's a very heartwarming book for an Iowan to have in their home. Growing up, the Iowa State Fair was my family vacation destination each year, and continues to be. The pictures in the book and stories enrich my many memories and also have enlightened me of the history of the Iowa State Fair as it has grown over the years and turned into an absolute two-week hysteria for all visitors. This book is just wonderful.

Dorie Devries has an accident and escapes to a small town to recooperate. Her neighbors are Gil Howlett and his two boys, Fletcher and Max, and Uncle Matthew. Af first, she stays away from them, but young Max will have none of that. Through his homemade pictures to her and her cookies to him, a friendship develops. Neither Gill nor Dorie are wanting a realtionship. Gil has been married twice, and Dorie once. Over time though, they can't help but act on the attraction between them. Making no promises to each other, they enjoy each other to the fullest. This book was written with a honest look at relationships. There are moments of extreme sadness, but happiness does win out at the end.

At their first meeting, Jan Harper, an industrial site planning consultant, and Kevin Toliver, owner of Toliver, Inc., sparked instant chemistry. Thus, begins the book, "Someday, Somewhere". From beginning to end, this book is written with passion and humor as it's focal point. Jan and Kevin's relationship is so real, you expect them to walk off the pages of the book and into the "real world". Mary Kay has a passionate scene in the book where Jan, thinking she's dreaming, literally eyes Kevin from top to bottom, and bottom to top. The description of this moment is so hot, I expected my book to burst into flames. Their relationship is not without a couple of rocky moments. One, Jan's relationship with her father, and the other, the fact that Kevin is in New York, and Jan is in Colorado. Mary Kay's description of love "trust, affection, admiration, devotion, unselfish concern, acceptance, loyalty, passion"...had this faithful reader in tears. What a moment in the book when Jan realized that's how Kevin felt about her. Trust me, you won't regret giving this book a read.

Mary Kay Remick has done it again. If you liked Searching for Blanche, you'll love Nickel and her cous' Penny Perfect. The relationships (between the cousins, the friends, and the dog) in Sweet and Sour will make you laugh, cry and grind your teeth. I recommend it highly.

This book will have you laughing from the beginning to the end. Rosemary Wickum and Gary Albright meet at the local garbage dump. She's collecting for her art work, and he's the owner. He's mad for her, she's wary. Through the intereference of her 14 year old son, Harley, her grandfather, Grandpa Earl, and the townspeople, she finally gives in to the attraction between them. Wonderfully humorous.

Being the Nascar nut I am, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Hannah Alexander, who is deaf, is a professional photographer. Colt McKinnon is a race car owner and his brother, Trevor drives the car. Willie, Hannah's next door neighbor is Hannah's assistant and interpreter. Colt hires Hannah to do a brochure about their racing business. As they are falling in love, so are the constantly bickering Willie and Trevor. Mary Kay fills the story with exciting sights and sounds of being on the Nascar circuit. The story concentrates on Colt and Hannah's love affair, but as a sideline, Mary Kay teases the reader with Trevor and Willie's relationship. Readers will be satisified with the conclusion of Hannah and Colt's story, but will be craving for more on Willie and Trevor. That relationship needs a story of it's own.

This title is an essential source for practitioners treating HIV/AIDS - especially in a community-based setting. It is extremely readable and provides information covering pattern identification, herbal and acupuncture treatment plans and practical advice on creating a non-profit community clinic serving this population. It is a book I refer to again and again.
