Review from The Romance Reviews: "Cathy Quinn starts off the story with a bang and then some. From the first sentence, we are hurtled straight into the story, and the excitement never lets up..... I blazed through the pages..."Romantic comedy. When his childhood friend Alice barges into his bedroom in the middle of the night, in tears over men in general, Gabriel isn't sure what to think. When she confides in him her plan to "multidate" -- to date as many men as womanly possible, in an effort to find that one gold nugget, he is determined to save Alice from herself. But through self-defense classes, stun-gun adventures and several disastrous dates, the two just might be falling in love...“Men are scum!”The vicious snarl turned a pleasant dream into something he thought might be a nightmare, but the accompanying slam of his bedroom door shot through his slumber and jerked him awake. He bolted upright, peering through the darkness at the intruder.Maybe it was one of those dreams where you thought you were awake, until something too terrible even for reality in the modern-day world happened? He braced himself for the worst.Then the light flipped on and he squeezed his eyes shut against the sudden brilliance. He really should get a shade for that bulb one of those days. It might help his love life too. He had a feeling many women might have something against a 90-watt light bulb hanging directly over a bed.He pried his eyes open again, one after the other, and located the bad dream, pacing back and forth, not even looking at him. Alice. Of course, Alice. His usual nightmare. Who else?ReviewCathy Quinn starts off the story with a bang ... we are hurtled straight into the story ... excitement never lets up ... I blazed through the pages ... fun and amusing ... an enjoyable story to dive into. --The Romance Reviews Views: 68
Bristow's circle included the great helicopter pioneers such as Igor Sikorsky and Stan Hiller, test pilots like Harold Penrose and Bill Waterton, Sheiks and Shahs and political leaders, business giants like Lord Cayzer and Freddie Laker - with whom he tossed a coin for 67,000 GBP in 1969 - and the author James Clavell, a lifelong friend whose book 'Whirlwind' was a fictionalized account of Bristow's overnight evacuation of his people and helicopters from revolutionary Iran. Bristow represented Great Britain at four in hand carriage driving with the Duke of Edinburgh and precipitated the 'Westland Affair' when he made a takeover bid which eventually led to the resignation of Michael Heseltine and Leon Brittain, and almost to the downfall of Margaret Thatcher.
