I've heard this author at the LA Festival of Books. I think I just wasn't in the mood when I read this one. The writer does have a gift.

You would think this line, “you’re the hottest biscuit this side of the gravy boat” said by the hero to the heroine after an extreme hot and heavy session of sex would sound very corny. But coming from Ty McCordle, Erin McCarthy’s hero in Hard and Fast, is exactly what you would expect him to say. Ty has a way with words, as does his lover Imogen Wilson. The discussions and conversations between these two is what makes Hard and Fast one of the most enjoyable books I have read so far this year. It is so great to have a book where the main characters are up front with one another. They communicate perfectly with their frank discussion about sex and what they are looking for in a significant other. Ty and Imogen have a no holds bar relationship and is exactly the one I would love to have if and when I meet Mister Right. Erin McCarthy really does push the limits with the intimacy and sex between these two. All the sexual cards are on the table and Imogen is willing to do whatever Ty wants because he understand her like no one else does. We first met Ty and Imogen in Flat Out Sexy. Imogen is a born and bred New York City sociology grad student who is trying to decide on her thesis project. She feels that stock car racing in North Carolina is a great jumping-off point but she needs to be a little more specific in what she wants to write about. Imogen is much like a fish out of water in this environment. She wears glasses and is the perfect model for Ann Taylor clothes. Plus she is brainy and a bit stiff. She is a bit out of sorts because she has it bad for Ty McCordle, the sexy race car driver who is a good old down Southern boy. He seems to be the total opposite of Imogen. Poor Imogen is very attracted to Ty even though he likes to date the track bunnies such as his latest girlfriend, airhead Nikki whose goal is to marry a race car driver. Nikki even has a how to book in landing one and from that Imogen finds the perfect topic for her thesis. Ty tends to date the same type of woman over and over and when Nikki hints at marriage, he decides to end things. Actually Nikki ends things first in a hilarious scene while Ty and Imogen are talking to one another in Imogen’s car. Ty is not the marrying kind. He is not sure why marriage is so appealing to others like his friend Elec who just got hitched. Now that Ty knows things between him and Nikki are over, he zones in on Imogen. There is something he finds so attractive about Imogen. He thinks her intelligence is sexy. He admires her in every way and would love nothing better to soak her up, just like a biscuit does with gravy (sorry, I had to throw that in there). Ty is up front with what he wants from Imogen. Imogen seems to respect that in Ty and instead of just jumping into bed with one another, they talk about the steps they will take to get there. Imogen is in the mood for a no thrill love affair and because she is hot for Ty, so why not enjoy what he has to offer? And what Ty offers Imogen or Emma Jean as he calls her is unlike anything she has ever experienced. If you thought Flat Out Sexy was sexy as all get out, Hard and Fast puts that book to shame. Erin really stretched the limits with the sex she writes. This is one of the hottest books I have ever read. This is definitely more erotic in nature that Erin’s past books. The first sex scene between Ty and Imogen is on fire. These two are so combustible together. I was wide eyed as I read and for the first time in a very long, long time I couldn’t stop blushing. The things Ty does to Imogen are so incredibly intimate. He pulls out all the stops and nothing between them is taboo. The man loves oral sex. He is the most oral sex happy hero I have ever read! And it is so great that Imogen is so open with Ty. Other than not being too keen on anal sex, which she says up front, she welcomes Ty’s administrations with open arms and legs. These two also have fun together out of bed. Ty introduces Imogen to new things such as camping, fishing and the fun of sleeping bag sex. Imogen wants Ty to try some Shakespeare, which he does, but learns the Bard in his own special way. (Ty has a little secret about reading that if it got out would bring him shame) Ty and Imogen click in such a way that is so very special. They have a meeting of the minds that all men and women should have both in fiction and in real life. Hard and Fast shows that attraction may start with a person’s looks, but in order to keep it lasting, it is how they use their noggin that matters most.

The pace moves along just fast enough to keep you going, despite a bewildering cast of characters. Well researched and will certainly be the gold standard account of this sad chapter of our history.

I LOVED this book. It more than made up for the first installment. I also warmed more to the lead, Chloe, I think the title is perfect for this book. Chloe really came into her own in this one. And the interaction between her and Derek is just superb! It really left me wanting more. I do think that Chloe is still a little too helpless, something that bothered me extremely in the first book, but somehow I was more tolerant of it this time around...which could have something to do with a certain teen werewolf and the scenes she shares with him. There are a lot of sweet moments, and a lot of oh, bloody hell moments between the two. I also found Tori extremely interesting in this book, whereas I struggled with her character in the previous one. Simon. Well, Simon was still Simon. I just could not warm to him at all. Half the time I felt like slapping him across the head, telling him to wake up and see the tension between his brother and Chloe. The story was still a tad predictable, I don't know if this is because Kelley Armstrong is writing for a younger audience and so perhaps doesn't feel the need for a little more suspense or mystery. But I felt that the character's and story a lot of potential that was not explored. Having said that, I still do love the story, predictable-ness and all.

This book is centered around the efforts of Elder Ezra Taft Bensen (as told by his mission secretary, Elder Babbel) to begin the LDS church's relief efforts in Europe and Scandinavia. Told in a rather dry, matter-of-fact style, this book focuses on the hardships endured and blessings received by the European people, and the miraculous paths that were opened up to the Elders as they struggeled to bring relief to the people. It doesn't focus on the relief efforts -- those are in the background. One of the most revealing and saddest parts of the book were the eye-witness accounts of the cruelty exhibited by the victorious soldiers towards the civilians of the conquered Germans. The brutalities were just as horrific as those we hear about in today's news from war-torn countries. Luckily, these accounts are told in the same dry, matter-of-fact style rather than in a gratuitous style. This makes it a bit easier to read - but it also makes it more real -- the author isn't try to hook you, or intrigue you by arousing your morbid curiosities. He was genuinely appalled at the scenes he witnessed and you are left with the same feeling. Thankfully, most of the book deals with the miraculous and up-lifting experiences centered around helping other, survival in the face of extreme adversity -- and not just survival, but survival with ones principles intact. That people lived through such harsh times while maintaining their trust and their self-discipline and their charitable character is a true testament to their deep faith in a loving God and the power that it brings.

I just finished reading this aloud to the kids and was quite inspired by it. How nonchalantly I read a simple sentence or paragraph in my high school history text: Cyrus Field laid the first Transatlantic Cable. End of story. Hardly! The obstacles this man faced were astonishing, and I had now idea the character required to soldier on. It made me realize that success only sounds easy when it is happening to others. In fact, it always comes after great perseverance. In fact, such was shared in the book itself, in a speech about Field and his endeavor: "It behooves us to remember that the pathway to great achievement has frequently to be hewn out amidst risks and difficulties, and that preliminary failure is even the law and condition of ultimate success..." It was also marvelous to see how the doers of this area knew each other and even collaborated. Field was aided by Samuel Morse, Matthew Maury, William Seward, Peter Cooper, Lord Kelvin (Professor Thomson, at the time), Abraham Lincoln, and many more!
Growing up in Massachusetts, especially near Plymouth, since kindergarten I have heard the story of the Pilgrims, blah, blah, blah and gone to all the "historical" places. Then having a history teacher as your dad and then later learning about the "real story" and seeing the "real" first landing site on the Cape, this book was really fun to read.
