"Passion and joy are effortlessly married here. I heard a quote from Renoir to the effect that it’s most important to make the viewer believe that there is life beyond the frame; what an awesome definition of filmmaking! I also love his quote about the tragedy in life being that we ALL have our good reasons for all we do. This man loved people and explained them with such veracity; lift your leg high and you’ll know!"

"I enjoy sci-fi thanks to my brother John's passion for it, and this was the first sci-fi book to hit my radar. It touches on so many things: politics, religion, paganism, revivalism, psychokinesis – and it even introduced a couple of things that didn't exist before: the waterbed (which came out a few years after the book), and the word "grok" which means "to understand something intuitively or by empathy.” There's a lot to grok in this book."

Sensual and full of passion, Skye Warren makes it easy to fall head over heels in love with her characters. Blake is no exception; he's sweet and thoughtful, but just mysterious enough to be sexy. Erin is a smart, independent, unusually mature woman who refuses to be a damsel in distress. Their relationship is a turbulent one, yet you can't help but root for them both. I'm excited to read the next book and see how they grow together.

Pretty damn powerful

A story of so many emotions, I couldn't put it down! My heart broke a little for these amazing men, the trials they go through, the raw pain, love and passion.
    Will and Mike fight for each other through the fallout of a military attack, memory loss and injury.

Definitely an adult read, with sex, bdsm, mental anguish/ptsd and descriptions of violent acts. Brilliantly told in a way that keeps you hooked.
