About this deal

And then there is West St. Claire...goodness gracious this beautifully broken and flawed man. One who experienced death and destruction, but with Grace learned to love again. West was a phenomenal character! West is the campus ' bad boy. Broody, cold and cruel, nothing but his Ducati his only care in the world. My biggest problem with this book was the ending. I HATED how the book ended. I actually needed to reflect on it for a few days before I could sit down to write a review. In Julia's case the solution seemed like nothing more than a cop out. I honestly cannot remember the last time that I was so thoroughly disappointed in the ending of a book. The part of the epilogue that attempted to pull the two stories together a little better was also a huge letdown. There, Julia uncovers a heartbreaking, long-buried tale of tragedy and devastation - a discovery that puts her in serious danger. Some people will do anything in their power to keep the truth silent...

Playing with Fire: The Weird Tales of Arthur Conan Doyle

This was one creepy book. You've got a three year old beautiful little daughter who kills the cat. Just doesn't stab him once, but stabs him three times? Is this the making of a psycho or just a coincidence? Then a few days later, she's stabbing her mom in the thigh hollering "hurt mommy, hurt mommy". Okay, I would be scared of this kid as well. I don't care how cute she is or that she's mine. Oh did I mention that she left a toy on the next to the last step and the mother tripped over it and went flying down the stairs? Yeah, I would not be able to shut my eyes at night.

“Best New Personal Finance Book ”

I’m dying to know all about his bad boy dress code, I’m imagining he has some holes on his shirts where the heart is, I swoon over a poetic hero.... humm maybe his superstition involves another part of his body so instead he cut holes on his pants. A practical man, you got love those Grace Shaw, is this young girl whose life takes a 180 degrees turn after her house burns down to the ground and now she is left with a burn mark on her face. From being one of the most beautiful girls in her town to the girl who everyone pities, Grace slowly finds herself losing her identity. The confident girl who use to be the star of the plays in her school is replaced with the girl who hides from the light under the shade of her cap. Enters West St. Claire, the quiet man who is known for his underground fights. He slams into Grace's life and tries to refire her flame. He basically dragged Mel up the stairs, blood dribbling down his chin, slammed her against the empty elevator bank, and screwed her senseless... Mel told her it was insane and carnal and hot as Hades. But that he didn't even look at her face as he gave her two orgasms... Mel said he kept touching her hair while pounding into her and that he kept talking about Texas." This is historical fiction at its best, it's a fiction story set in the past but with some historical facts and figures to keep the reader educated and interested.

Playing With Fire — Tess Gerritsen - Internationally Playing With Fire — Tess Gerritsen - Internationally

The characters are EVERYTHING, they are original and interesting. Even though we see L.J. characteristic writing style, they are VERY different from all her previous characters. Our dear Grace is so special, so brave, I love that she is not the typical heroine, and West, even though he is an asshole, rude and cruel, he is also so sweet and loyal and cares so much for those he loves. I love him! I absolutely LOVED Grace!!!!! She will forever be one of my favorite heroines. Her strength, determination and character development throughout this story was bold and beautiful. Her sass and banter with West was laugh out loud funny and addictive. Their sexual tension was off the charts, and the ease in which they became friends and eventually lovers was organic and natural. It just felt right from the first time they "really" saw each other outside of campus and work. Wow! Another brilliant novel by author Tess Gerritsen! Playing with Fire is set in both 1940s Italy and current day America and is narrated by Lorenzo and Julia. Based on fact, the historical notes by the author at the end of the book tell of the heartbreak of the Jews in Italy; though paling in comparison to occupied Europe. Fast paced, I was completely unable to put Playing with Fire down and devoured it in a few hours. A gritty, thrilling and intense novel which I have no hesitation in recommending highly, it is different from Gerritsen’s normal offerings; but one of her best in my opinion.I was completely enamored with Grace. This beautiful woman experienced trauma, pain, death, humiliation. But despite everything, she’s continued to push on. Continued to live her life, little by little. Until a man by the name of West St. Claire came into the picture and completely pushed her outside her comfort zone and showed her just how incredible, strong, beautiful and brave she truly was. When L.J. Shen says she is writing something so different from what she has ever written, take her word for it and then some. Playing With Fire is nothing short of This book was really multi-faceted in so many ways. It touches on a deep parental concern/nightmare, a marriage on the brink, friendship, musical talent, medical breakthroughs, an international mix, and an arc into a historical time period of tragedy. Now that covers a lot of ground.

I've had to sit with my feelings about Playing with Fire for two days. For me it's not only some of L.J.'s best writing but it's one of the best stories this year. However, there is a correlation between all these incidents and Julia is determined to find out what it means. She takes it home along with the gifts for her husband and 3-year-old daughter, their long-awaited and much-loved child. She plays the waltz for the first time one afternoon and is frightened by what seems to be its evil influence.The chemistry between West and Grace is undeniable, they fit in as perfect pieces in a puzzle. West pushes Grace's boundaries and brings out that confident girl she has always been, where else Grace comforts West's scars. Grace is definitely one of LJ’s special heroines. The best part of the book was seeing her evolve into becoming a confident woman she can be. Grace and West both rise through their flames battling their inner turmoils as they complete each other. Shen has delivered the unexpected and in my book, easily one of the best novels she has written so far. Putting her unique stamp on a trope I love, each of the protagonists’ emotional journeys is a tale in itself. And the title that conveys layers of meaning would consequently show its perfection. Among other things that grabbed my attention was the well-designed book cover, setting the tone to this gritty story.
