“Tell me I’m the best f**k you ever had.” That’s how we began. But it’s not how we'll end. After all, this is not a simple story. This is not even just one story. There’s a boy, and there’s a girl. But there’s so much more than that. Listen… I was going home. Not forever; only long enough to watch my eternally irresponsible father marry a girl who happened to be my childhood enemy. There were no plans to embark on some crazy sex odyssey with a wild nineteen-year old baseball player. Easton Malone is insufferable, crude, and far too close. The hot, reckless days we shared should never have happened. I would forget him. Yes, I had to forget him. Through the years, triumph or heartbreak would bring us together. Only to shatter us once more. It was never over though. It never will be. In the beginning we found lust. At the end we found each other. Along the way we found everything else. WARNING: *Tearjerker alert!* There will be sex. There will be bad language. There will be grief. But there will also be redemption in the face of tragedy. And at the center of it all is an epic tale of love and fate. Views: 56

### From Publishers Weekly
A stroke-impaired former PI, Steve Babe, struggles to solve a murder in Beres's muddled second thriller (after The President's Nemesis). Steve is recuperating in a Chicago rehab facility known to its patients as Hell in the Woods when an elderly fellow patient, Marjorie Gianetti, dies after apparently slipping and falling in a hallway late one evening. Suspecting foul play, Steve starts to investigate, despite his mental confusion. His efforts attract the attention of both the killer and a shadowy pair of intelligence agents who may be attempting to cover up an old political scandal. Predictable action sequences, including an abduction and numerous gun battles, follow. The revelation of the motive for the conspiracy, improbably centering on Jimmy Carter, may cause some unintended chuckles. A convoluted plot and awkward prose combine to undercut the author's sensitive portrait of his hero coping with his disability. Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

He has created a controversial and compelling account of this most famous Victorian family. Views: 56
