    Sounds like a good one since I read The Diary, too. Plus, with all that seems to be going on with Israel at the moment. Love the cover art as well.

    Great post Freda! I definitely want to pick this up.

    My Friday 56 was picked by Author Elizabeth Amber. Stop by tomorrow if you can to read her interview.

    “Hold on,” he rumbled. His coat was open, so she looped her arms around him inside it, hugging his solid strength. Turning her face into the hollow of his throat, she kissed him. His narrowed eyes flickered over her and his hand tightened on the reins. The horse bucked in reaction, almost throwing them. Cursing, he loosened his grip and rode on, his face grimly determined.

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane.
