SpiceĮven after 36 novels, I always try to write the sort of book I would want to read. I doubt if she is even capable of writing poorly." ~W. It’s rare to these days to find a writer whose style is technically so nearly perfect, but who’s also a damned good storyteller. There are, however, no issues of that sort where Baeli’s writing is concerned. "To me, failing to learn to use the tools one’s craft shows laziness and disrespect for the reader. In a farmhouse in Southern Wisconsin, their lives are about to change again, and this time, it will be on their own terms. She's got the whole casual sex thing down to a science.Īs comfortable in her mind and body as she is in her lifestyle, will 42-year-old Lissa be able to roll with the punches when life takes an unexpected turn or two, forcing her to rethink her definition of happiness?

By night, she shares her bed as the mood pleases her, but never her heart. By day, she works as a school counselor, helping kids learn to cope with becoming adults. So when an old social acquaintance named Lissa Moon offers her sanctuary, Dove takes it. Dove has no life to go back to, only a one-way voucher to the destination of her choice-a consolation prize from Freya. Her fairy tale romance is served a dose of reality in a Venice hotel, when room service brings her a dish she wasn't expecting. Although, she might need that to keep her head above the waters of a doomed courtship. Dove just hoped it wasn’t the kind of down that had her clinging to her seat cushion as a flotation device. That meant there was really nowhere else to go but down. The best parts of Freya and of the relationship itself had indeed already happened, and it started at the top. There was nowhere to go but up.īut that didn’t turn out to be the case. When British goddess-tycoon Freya Tibitt offers a life of globetrotting, Dove imagines exotic locales enriching her writing, and composing her novels on board a posh jet and in luxury hotel rooms, intertwined with romantic dinners and gondola rides in the Venice waterways.

The dream woman with money, power and smoldering good looks. Not all happy endings are the ones we plan.Īuthor Dove Jacobi thought she had found the love of her life. ASIN B0745JFGN3 moved to the most recent edition here
