So you think all romances are alike -- well you could never be more wrong! You may think you know where the story is going and BAM it goes in a completely different direction.
As a Jersey girl myself, I love the setting and how New Jersey is portrayed - yes we have highways and malls, but there is much much more if you take the time to see and experience it.
The book was a Christmas present and I could not put it down once I made the time to start it. It was very riveting! So Amamda Harte, when can I expect something else great to read?

In Loving Memory of New Jersey State Trooper Carlos M. Negron is a fitting tribute to a fallen hero. The author, Jennie Negron Bethea, pays homage to her brother who was killed in the line of duty.

A special tribute is paid by the inclusion of poems, letters, and advice on how to cope after the death of a loved one. It is a truly touching and inspiring story and will warm the hearts of those who have known a police officer killed in the line of duty.

Here is the crucial tool for finding a veteran from amongst those named in William S. Stryker's 878-page Official Register of the Officers and Men of New Jersey in the Revolutionary War. With references to 15,000 New Jersey Revolutionary War veterans.

Received the item I ordered very quickly. The book was in good condition. Now I can start the semester well prepared.

And better yet, Irish in New Jersey! Very interesting to learn about your heritage. Would also be perfect for history buffs, especially those interested in America's development.

Ed Lenik's book is a classic description of iron mining history in Northern NJ and Southern NY. Hundreds of hikers use this book to explore the archaeological remains of what once was a thriving industry. Ed's writing is lean, clear and accurate. It has not only my highest recommendation, but is a standard item in most local backpacks.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was informative and gave a lot of interesting facts of folklore and history of the State of New Jersey, from it's discovery and early settlement right up to modern times. A good read for youngsters and oldsters alike, especially for young Jerseyites who can go out first hand and visit some of the places and historical sites. It will engender a love of history and a pride for those who live in this State.
I recommend it for all ages!

My father was a huge fan of Monsignor Michael Doyle and the work he has done for the city and the people of Camden. When this book was first published, my father raced to pick up a copy - and have it autographed by the man himself. It wasn't until after my father passed away that I inherited his copy of the book, and it has been a bedside staple ever since. This collection of letters and poetry written by Monsignor Doyle touches every part of your heart and soul. There are hearty laughs and stinging tears on the pages of this book, and the words and the works of Monsignor Doyle are an inspiration to us all.
