In response to message #0
 
   I'm still suffering from the after shocks of "Flowers From the Storm" - brilliant, brilliant book, IMHO. The writing was stellar, so much depth and emotion, and the journey both characters make leave my heart heavy and full. Loved it. I can totally see why it's considered THE romance novel of all time.

But after such a heavy read, I needed something light and fun. I tried starting Julie James's "The Sexiest Man Alive", but the fact that the heroine is a workaholic 30 something lawyer really started upping my anxiety level from all the stress from work, so I had to put it down. I only got as far as page 2 before my pulse started racing, lol.

Instead, I picked up a favourite "Too Perfect" by Julie Ortolon. Love, love this book. It's book 3 in JO's Perfect trilogy, but while the first two books were ok, this book totally did it for me. The heroine totally reminds me of me, and the fact that her name is Amy, short for Amelia - and Amy being the nickname I use when meeting strangers (like taxi cab drivers or at restaurants, etc) - this book is a little foray into my own fantasies, lol.

Ok, I better get back to work. I have another hour and a half before I can leave, sigh.
