Is it wrong that I was jealous of the heroine because I wanted to keep the hero?

Dr. Connor was arrestingly sexy and caring; it's no wonder that Sarah fell for him. Sarah had to work against her fear and instincts, but she knew that Connor was the best thing for her. The plot device used to build a good part of this story is overdone in recent romance literature, but Ms. Sterling made it intriguing all over again.

I was struck by the incredible intimacy of the first love scene. It was so well written that I was reminded once again of why sex and sharing is a vulnerable experience and why it must be treated with such care by both parties. It's not often a book can pull off that message without preaching or falling into melodrama. I'll definitely buy Ms. Sterling's next book right off the shelf.

If you like your books hot, well-written, and just plain fun then this book will be sure to please. Donna Sterling keeps things moving along so smoothly-and the characters are so interesting that the reader really cares what happens to them! As always, Ms. Sterling leaves the reader with a smile on her face.

I love Sarah and Connor's story, I guarantee that it's hard to put down. Dr. Connor would be welcome as my doctor any day! SHHH. but don't tell my husband! If you are looking for a sexy and enjoyable few hours of reading look no further.

This is a wonderful book to read for yourself and to give as a gift to your friends. The individual stories range from long-term friendships developed as young adults, to those formed in later years of life that may have only lasted for a "season". The one thing each of these friendships have in common is a deep love and respect for each other, as well as for God. I found the stories to be touching, inspiring and in some instances incredibly humorous, just like friendships are in real life. This book gave me the opportunity to reflect back on my own friendships over the years and to see how God has moved in me to bring some incredible "sheltering trees" into my life. I highly recommend this book.

Friends are not something to be taken for granted and successful people can always testify to the importance of those few special people that motivate, comfort and inspire them to be the best they can be. In Donna Van Liere's Sheltering Trees, interviews from people like Zig Ziglar, Randy Travis and a host of Christian music movers and shakers remind us how meaningful those rare but necessary friendships are. This book is filled with short stories of those special friendships and how God works in our lives to make those connections. Sheltering Trees is also filled with inspirational quotes that help us all reflect on what it means to have a friend and more importantly, how gratifying it is to be a friend.

This is the perfect book to share with those special friends in your life. I truly enjoyed reading the inspiring stories of people ranging from Randy Travis and Arthur Ashe to Rebecca St. James and Zig Ziglar. Included with the book, is a CD of the wonderful song "Sheltering Tree". The lyrics to the song are scattered throughout the chapters which further adds to the stirring and thoughtful tone of the book. I plan to continue to give this as a gift to the "sheltering trees" in my life.

If you want to read some really deep and powerful insights into the human condition, check out "Mary Winowsky" (written when LH was in HIGH SCHOOL!), "The Gun," Fine Accomodations," "One Friday Morning," "The Little Virgin," "The Young Glory of Him." These stories will make you weep and think about the everyday people you pass in the street and wonder about the stories they may have inside of them. This book should be in EVERY literature class!

This book tells more than just what it is to be Black, it says a lot about being human.

THIS BOOK IS TRULY A MASTERPIECE!I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED LANGSTON HUGHES WHETHER IT WAS HIS POETRY OR HIS SHORT STORIES. HE WAS A VERY INTELLIGIENT MIND(WHAT A BRILLIANT MAN). R.I.P. MY DEAR LANGSTON!

I have recently taken on the project of reading all the classic novels I was suppose to care about in high school and college. I started with Langston Hughes.
I found the introduction to this book most helpful in understanding where Mr. Hughes was writing from. It is odd how little has changed from pre WWII society to today. If you are looking for a wonderful look into the African American mind and world, this is the book to read. Such a vast array of different stories, form merchant steamer to Harlem to South America, this book has it all. I especially recommend you to spend time reading "Cora Unashamed" I read it four times in the first sitting and have now revisited it a number of times finding hidden colors and tones that are remarkable.

I absolutely loved this book -- every word! These are real people with real lives. You'll know them and love them and hate like crazy to tell them goodbye at the end of the book. I'm a Texan who's never been to New York, but I'm already missing the neighborhood! (Penny Marshall, I hope you're reading this book; it would make a fantastic movie!) ;)

I'll definitely be watching for more from Donna Cantor...she's made my list with this one!

For those of us who live in Queens or Brooklyn, shop at the corner candy store and still see old school buddies around the neighborhood, this book feels like home. Ordinary life and people, really are marvelous, Donna captures this and when you have read the last page, you start to miss every character.

The characters come alive with every printed word.You feel that you are part of their lives and you just never want it to end!

I highly recommend this book to everyone. There are poems for just about any occassion and Donna Fargo does it with style. Its a proven fact that Donna Fargo's words are some of the best ever written and this book proves it again. Looking forward to another by this talented lady!!

Trust In Yourself is inspirational and heartfelt. Nobody can write from the heart like Donna Fargo - as exemplifed by her writing of songs, this nice little book of prose and poetry, and the greeting cards Donna has written for the Poets & Artist line from Blue Mt. Arts. Trust In Yourself is a nice gift to give to yourself and friends/family. THEY WILL LOVE IT! I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Thoroughly enjoyed the book. It makes a great gift no matter what occasion. It is mixed with poems and prose that express feelings from the heart. Very encouraging book.Not many writers can put feelings into words like Donna Fargo can, whether in song, greeting cards or books. Highly recommend.

One of the first astrology books I bought, many years ago, it still makes interesting reading. With the main emphasis on the planets, Donna Cunningham provides an excellent overall introduction to chart interpretation and transits. It is obvious that this book is based on a great deal of practical experience working with astrology, and her extensive background in social work and mental health is a strong positive influence.

The approach to astrology here is all about empowering the individual. The planets mirror back to us the truth of our lives, and armed with this self-knowledge we can begin to take more responsibility for ourselves. The chart can help by showing more constructive uses of our basic traits. Cunningham is keen to avoid any cop-out as in blaming our chart or the planets for bad things in our lives. "Wrong thinking and wrong actions are at the root of most of our troubles" sums up her approach.

One unusual feature are comments on the meaning of the symbols for some of the planets and signs e.g. the glyphs for Jupiter and Saturn being upside down versions of each other. There are many other interesting bits and pieces. The final chapter is a very touching and moving account of an evening with astrological students who are recovering alcoholics, and their trip to an astronomical observatory.

Donna Cunningham has produced a fine work here. This is a terrific manual for those who want to 'feel' what the planets mean as well as know their meanings on an intellectual level. She explains how we must all deal with all of the planets in our lives and how we can turn negative chartacteristics into positive ones. For example, a Neptune in the 1st house has the potential to be parasitical, and dependent on drugs or alcohol yet can also be a sensitive counsellor or talented musician. Her concluding chapter 'The Stars Via Subway' in which she takes her students on an excursion is one of the most heartfelt pieces of writing on astrology I have ever read. Compassionate and easy to understand, a worthwhile addition to anyones library.

Very insightful with many personal views on certain subjects. I highly recommend it for beginning astrology students as it gives a very open-minded and informative view of the field.

One more winning book from Donna Clayton! I really loved this story. Thank you, Miss Clayton.

I read everything Donna Clayton writes. Her books are fun and romantic. Her characters seem real. I recommend this book.

a lovely swan? She just might turn the boss's head. But Cindy Cooper doesn't want to be loved for what she looks like, but wants to be loved for who she is. She's forced to decide just what it is Kyle sees in her. Donna Clayton's, The Boss and the Beauty, is a delightful story of love. This masterful storyteller leaves a smile in her readers' face and a renewed belief in the power of love.

An amazing story of the struggle of human existence. Everyone sees the outside personna, but if they look long enough the inner beauty comes though. Put yourself in the author's shoes and you realize that life is a contant stuggle. This book teaches us that acceptance of who we are, asking for help, and having the courage to do whatever our hearts desire, we can achieve our dreams no matter our size, abilities, or appearance. We are who we make ourselves to be. Our biggest disability is ourselves. Read the book -- you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll love, and most importantly you'll learn.

THIS BOOK IS GREAT! IT MAKES YOU COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS AND LAUGH AT THE SAME TIME. PLUS I RECOMMEND IT FOR READERS BOTH YOUNG AND OLD. READ DONNA LANCASTER'S "THE SHORT AND TALL OF IT" TODAY!!!

Thank you so much for sharing your life and great wisdom in The Short and Tall of It. I enjoyed reading it and felt a kindred spirit to many of your emotions.

Thanks most of all for the wisdom of an aging body and changing energy which we must accept to move on and enjoy this part of our journey!

I thought I knew a lot about the natural history of the Sonoran Desert until I read this book. As a longtime former Arizona resident I spent many hundreds of hours hiking the Sonoran Desert backcountry, often with the author himself. There's not much text in this book, but Conrad has packed it with interesting facts. And Donna Atwood's illustrations are both technically accurate and artistically pleasing. I wish they made coloring books like this when I was a kid.

I love this book! The descriptions are really good, and the illustrations are incredible. My daughter is drawn to its pictures and we're able to use it like flashcards to identify animals here in the Southwest. To call it a coloring book is an injustice. Teachers should use this book in their classroom.

What a delightful find. My grandchild adores this book. The artwork is magnificent.The alphabet a hidden treasure for younger children and the information about the animal and plant life was way beyond what I had expected.I learned a lot about the Sonoran Desert. THIS IS NO ORDINARY COLORING BOOK.

Enjoyable book, especially for any reader who dined at the Club during it's heyday of '40s and '50s. Food and recipes are solid. Eben though current chef was not around during the memory era, the food is excellent. Many are attempts to preserve famous dishes as they were prepared and served during time of big bands. Great gift book as well.

I've had this cookbook for a few years and use it often - I look forward to the day Mr. Lomonaco publishes another book - his meals at Windows on the World are wonderful.

An excellent history of a landmark New York restaurant. The book is two-fold: Recipes which focus on quality and are quite user-friendly - woven with a history rich with anecdotes, illustrated with wonderful photographs and drawings. A great read for any cook and/or lover of New York City.
