Attractions Books

THIS BOOK IS REALLY AMAZING-ONE OF THE BEST
BOOKS ON HOW TO MANIFEST-WOULD BE A GREAT
CHRISTMAS GIFT TOO

In the last 7 or 8 years I had the good fortune of reading a fair amount of self-help literature including books on the Law of Attraction. And I have enjoyed each one of those books. Each book taught me something new while reinforcing many other good ideas. Reading "Not Manifesting" has been a real joy - the book has been so beautifully written that it touched my heart and made me cry. I believe the candid approach of the author will help many of us to not only get a good grasp of the Law of Attraction but will also serve as a kind reminder of some of the fundamental principles of living a life of true joy.

I want to take this opportunity to wholeheartedly congratulate the author on writing this marvelous book.

Yes, the book is a quick read. But the author is genuinely interested in helping the reader understand the law of attraction. There are many books on manifesting, but there isn't one book, or THE book on LOA that will resonate with everyone--that's why we keep searching and reading until something clicks. The author does list her email address in case the reader still needs help with manifesting. I did contact her and she replied promptly with some useful advice. There was no fee for this, which makes me believe that the author is sincere.

I found this book to be good and gave me a few extra tidbits about why things were not working for me but I was a little put off on how it was suggested I spend more money on other things to get the help I needed. I am sorry, but if I had money to hire people to help me clear my energy I would not need this book. I understand you can learn how to do it yourself but I thought this book would be more than it was.

I really enjoyed this book. I was struggling with manifesting and after reading the book still unsure on how to make it work for me. A few weeks later I happened to pick up the book and thought "maybe there is an email" and at the back of the book, the author gives you her email address. Kathleen is wonderful - and helps you see things specific to you and what could be blocking you from receiving. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is struggling with the law of attraction.

This is it. The book about being honest with what you want, and those you want (women out there).
Being direct and bold when saying exactly what kind of relationship you want with the opposite sex may seem akward or hard to you, depending on how you were taught to behave around others, but usually, we've all been grown under the "be kind, not so upfront" idea when meeting women.

This little book will revolutionize your communications with women. This isn't a "pick up manual", neither it is a "be a man" one. It is a revelation, a dialogue with the author in wich he tells you "it's time to be real man, be yourself, it won't be something that will happen overnight, but in the long-term, will make you feel free, and don't worry about women approval". Results will follow, but don't expect some "from-wussy-to-ladies-man-makeover" in a week. You will still be yourself, but the difference is that you won't have issues when telling the woman you just met that you want to bed her, or that you want to date her in the context of a romantic relationship (if this is what you really want). Yeah, seems simple, but being real and bold is something not many men can get hold onto. Be one of the genuine men today, those who go for what they want without excuses, and become a person with real expression in his life.

I am struggling with this review because I like the author more than I like the book; hence I want to give it a better a rating but that would be insulting to him and to other readers.

I would not have read this book had it not been for a conversation I engaged in with the author on Mystery's page, which you can find on the discussion board on that page. At first he kind of annoyed me as he was commenting on books he hadn't read but he quickly impressed me with his follow-thru and acknowledgment that he wouldn't say more without reading the books we were discussing. That shows alot of character and class, prompting me to buy his book.

MODE ONE is refreshing in the pick up genre because it is very direct and honest. Many of the books are not honest with women although they still have some very good advice. I felt, though, that this whole book is really a 2-3 chapter concept that is dragged out for a complete book. It could really be consolidated, making more room for the author to include other ideas, concepts, and most importantly more stories. It becomes text book and while I like the marketable concept of the different modes of men, the constant use of "Mode Four" and "This guy is behaving Mode 3" and "He is exhibiting Mode Two" becomes distracting. If it was mixed up more, it would help remind us which mode is which, as the term is used so much it becomes hard to remember which is which. I'd like to hear more stories and examples from the author.

I've found Alan to be articulate in his writing on his blog and in other books message boards and commenting on other reviews on other books. Unfortunately, in his own book it becomes lost in SUDDEN capitalized WORDS and lots of bold and italics, which you can quickly see for yourself in "search inside". The points would come across better without all these distractions and without the punctuation problems that occur. It all detracts from the content. A little known book I once flipped thru called NOT ALL MEN ARE PIGS does this alot and I think if the author read it, being a third-party for that book, he would quickly find how distracting it is.

Content-wise, the major flaw is the one that this book shares with most of the genre. It treats all women the same. There are women who like shy, quiet guys. There are women who you can't be as upfront with as you'd like. MODE ONE doesn't account for these women. That's not to pick on it, the only books I've found that do discuss different techniques for different women are THE PROFESSIONAL BACHELOR and GOD IS A WOMAN: DATING DISASTERS, which alone makes them well worth reads.

Basically, I think Alan is on to something with the Mode concept. I think it needs to be developed more, made more concise, and he needs to go back and edit. I fear that he will lose readers because of those problems, which is a shame because there are some good points in this book and I do like the boldness-concept of it all. While I can't recommend this book, he has peaked my interest enough with his character and basic concepts that if he makes changes or writes another book, I will read it, in hopes that I can recommend it to my friends. (I know I probably of typos here, too, but I'm not writing a book.)

Essential reading for the healthy heterosexual male.

Concise, to the point, and without a lot of confusing and often irrelevant fluff.

The author has created what other books of this type often fail to do. Which is to cut through the bull and get to the heart of the matter.

Highly recommended.

I have read The Game, God is a woman, and The Mystery method. This book is unique. The author is a screen writer and knows how to write and explain this phenomena. I would call this a new branch in science for dating women. We men are logical thinkers and he does a good job showing us a theory we can practice and use to our advantage. You'll understand clearly how we can get what we want with women by applying the four mode theory to our behaviors.

My #1 kudos for author Alan Roger Currie encouraging and promising men and women reward for being upfront, straight-forward and honest in dealing with each other. "Dogs and gold diggers" couldn't thrive with his code of conduct in place, repeatedly discouraging and criticizing manipulation with the opposite sex. Without this honesty, miscommunication, manipulation and hurt feelings are born. I've always said that men don't need to lie only boys do. Author Currie has given men incentive to avoid being phony, deceptive, misleading, and manipulative toward women.


Unfortunately we have an entire pimpin' culture(music, clothing, language, sexuality, religion): gangsta rap based on males being what Currie refers to as Mode Four behavior males..."usually possess a high degree of very misogynistic attitudes toward women. They are still physically and sexually aroused by women, but they do not respect them as human beings. They literally despise women. When it comes to interacting with women, they have a chip on their shoulder." The hurt puppies become ferocious and dangerous dogs.


Although the book is speaking to the males, I gained quite a bit from this book as a woman. Not only in regards to men and women connecting, but in the success of life in all areas. I recommended the book to at least six people prior to completing my first read.

It is unfortunate that this type of book need to be written; desiring, pursuing and engaging in sexual acts is a basic in the natural order of life. Of course men want sex from women and vice versa. That is something that should go without saying. It's like walking up to another human being and saying I am a human being. That would be strange. Currie's book is a perfect vision of authenticity for Amerikka's culture of illusion and hypocrisy.


The only part of the book that really lost me was Chapter 6: Casual Sex v. Relationships
"Wholesome Pretenders and Erotic Hypocrites". I would have appreciated if the author would have added a couple of categories of woman within this study that would've given men a vision of what to shoot for in addition to two very extreme negative examples. The tone changed and it felt as if he was having a flashback while describing these two examples. I do appreciate the fact that he did put some responsibility on males and the American culture of the conflicting messages women get from a puritanical/pornographic culture. Even Ludacris says "they want a freak in the bedroom and a lady in the street." I can't tell you how many times I've heard that throughout my life.


While there were some things that I didn't agree with like, "within the first few days of meeting a woman, always treat a woman as if she's just one of many." This reaks of pretending i.e. manipulation. Be a man with many choices or things to occupy your time so you don't need to pretend. Overall this is a very smart and worthwhile book.

I would recommend young people who are beginning the dance of connecting with the opposite sex to read this book. The message of being honest and authentic is very powerful and timely!

Thank you for writing this book Alan Roger Currie.

This book is highly Recommended! Very Inspiring!

It reveals to the reader the treasure that is within, if you would but search a little deeper instead of looking else where or to others. It causes you to really think and tap into the hidden gifts and potential that is on the inside of oneself. 5 KUDOS!!!

Timeless wisdom. Proves once again the principles of success do not need to be re-invented. Everything needed to be successful in life has already been written, and is available to all of us! Excellent

First given as a lecture at the beginning of the 1900's, the inspirational thoughts contained in "Acres of Diamonds" are still as relevant today as ever.




Consider how the following passage plays into today's headlines, "I hear sometimes of men that get millions of dollars dishonestly.





But, they are so rare a thing, in fact, that the newspapers talk about them all the time as a matter of news until you get the idea that all the other rich men got rich dishonestly." The Reverend Conwell of the Baptist Temple Church in Philadelphia was so successful in attracting people to his "Acres of Diamonds" lectures that he made enough money to found Temple University.





How Religion and Capitalism work together and how money could be made right in one's backyard if a person knew of a need and did something to meet that need were the tenets of Conwell's lectures. Conwell's inspirational examples of success are worth a look.





Spend a lunch hour, a commute in or back from work or another quiet break in the day to read Conwell's stories of those who missed finding diamonds and gold in their own backyards because they were too busy focusing on finding their fortune in faraway lands. Since the book is under 100 pages, even if you don't find your eyes have been opened a little wider, at least you haven't wasted much time giving the stories a try.

At 64 pages from cover-to-cover, "Acres of Diamonds" is probably the shortest book I've read in a long time. Written by Baptist minister and founder of Temple University, Russell H. Conwell, this book originated as one of his sermons, which was so popular that it was published as a book.

"Acres of Diamonds" is based on a parable told to Conwell by an Arab guide during a trip to the Middle East. The parable tells the story of a man who sells his farm to search the world for diamonds. The man dies in poverty and wretchedness far from his home, not knowing that his farm sat on the richest diamond mine in the world.

It is easy to think that great things are only accomplished by other people in faraway places. Conwell argues that we can all accomplish great things wherever we are. He gives many examples of regular people who accomplished great things. After all, he says, even a great man like Abraham Lincoln was just "Abe" to his neighbors.

I believe this book was first published in the early 1900s, so the writing style is kind of old-fashioned and Conwell refers to people and products that were prominent during his time, but have less meaning to people today. There are no chapters or other structure to the book (of course it's only 64 pages long).

Despite these minor complaints, the book has a great message. You can accomplish great things where you are right now. You don't have to move to New York, Los Angeles, or Paris. Whether you're in Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Portland or Shreveport, there are "acres of diamonds" below your feet.

Poor copy of a great text. Author's name is misspelled on the cover. How could that happen? Text looks like a computer copy with spacing problems. Choose a different edition or publisher.

With concrete exercises and examples, with stories that illustrate them, and with spiritual and inspirational wisdom to help you along the way, this is book that will help make your dreams of love and partnership come true.

Michael Z, Author, The Wisdom of the Rooms A Year of Weekly Reflections

I intially picked this book up as a guide to bring love into my life but got so much more. The exercises, which are necessary for the success of the book, are enormously empowering, healing, comforting, inspiring, revealing, and fun. This is the only dating/self-discovery book that I have found that has the reader feeling like they are actually participating in changing/(bringing love) into their life and seeing/feeling immediate results. It differs from many other well written books in that although others are well written; they lack the specific tools for the reader to feel like they can actually control their lives. I could not wait to read this book every day. Life changing!

this book is fantastic. i bought it at the suggestion of the bodhi tree bookstore sale person who said it was the most popular relationship book in the store. orignially i bought it for a friend who had asked me to recommend a book about relationships. but as i paged through it at home i realize i wanted to buy it for myself, too. i am single and i do want to meet 'the one'- but i am not at the place where i'd buy a book about finding him. but this book is not really about finding the one as it is about becoming that which you seek to find. if you are looking for love you need to be love- and you need to love yourself fully and completely. if you are looking for security you need to find security in yourself first rather than look for someone who can make you feel secure. if you are looking for trust you need to trust yourself first before you can trust anyone else. it's all very basic psychological stuff- but even the most psychologically savy can learn a thing or two from this book. especially when it's your blind spots that are causing you to not be open to love. even freud couldn't see his own blind spots.

this book does take a commitment though. the 1 star reviewer who said it was too demanding and too psychologically hard to bear was right in a sense. but the point of the book is to show you that the reason you haven't met mister or miss right isn't because you just don't have any luck- it's because there are blocks in your psyche that are deep issues that need to be dealt with in order for you to be fully open to love. that is not easy work. in our fast-food/short-cut culture where people are learning speed reading so they can get through a book in 10 minutes- this book could feel like getting stuck behind grandpa driving in the fast lane. but there is a point to the intensity of the lessons and the necessity of a commitment to doing the lessons each day for 7 weeks.

it is inevitable that those who read this book are going to perceive it in their own way as a result of experiences in their own lives. so someone who hates it has their whole history backing them up for hating it. i would say check it out and see for yourself. of all the relationship books out there- this is the one that makes you take the most responsibility for yourself and requires you to truly know yourself. in my opinion that is the only way one can find 'the one' and be able to create a healthy, lasting relationship with him or her. you may meet 'the one' before you truly know yourself- but those relationships are typically the ones that don't last and end in divorce. relationships are not easy. they take work. if you want to do the work in order to reap the rewards- read this book.

(as a side note- i have recommended this book to 6 people now and they each had their own reactions to it. they all have had resistance come up in some form or another to doing the lessons or committing to the reading each day. some were not ready for the work- others were. it's all about where you are at right now in this moment. also- this book is written for women- but i would recommend it for men, too. incidentally i recommended it to my ex and he and i are doing the lessons together. the author recommends you get a friend to support you on your journey and highly recommend it as well.)

You don't just read this book - this book gives you a step by step practice to open your life to love. I think I've personally sold 30 of copies of this book just because I can't stand seeing my otherwise successful single friends over 30 languish, feeling alone and unlovable. I've seen amazing transformations - from alone to alter-bound in a couple of months after finishing this book. I've given it to my massage therapist who ended up moving in with her formerly unavailable boyfriend. My love-addicted gay friend is now happily engaged. I could go on and on... Anyone who doesn't understand why they never go out on dates, why there are "no good men/women out there," or why their relationships never work out, needs this book!

I have to say this book was one of the best stories I have ever read. It's a read and share with your friends sort of book. As, a woman I could relate with all the emotions this girl was having. Do I ? Don't I ? Should I ? Shouldn't I ? We all have thoughts, but do we act on them ? Yes or NO ?

I am new to Megan Hart however after reading "Dirty" I knew there was something in store for "Broken", it's a book to not be digested lightly. Sadie is a therapist who is married to Adam a very talented poet/writer who is a quadriplegic. Sadie and Adam go through tough times obviously but the lack of physical intimacy wears on the relationship although words about it are rarely spoken. The story gets even more twisted when Joe and Sadie meet every first Friday of the month to have lunch as Sadie listens to stories of Joe's sexual conquests. It's inevitable that Sadie want to be one of them however does she get her wish?

The story was at times difficult for me to read because I think in some fashion we've all been in a situation where we would have rather not been and I can definitely relate. The book was well written and was a stellar visual and emotional journey.

If you read "Dirty" you'll realize three characters re-appear however briefly, and will answer the question as to "Well what happened to them?".

I can't wait for "Stranger" in January 09.

Joe and Sadie meet once a month for lunch were Joe tells his latest tale of seduction. Sadie relishes these meetings because she's dealing with the grim reality of a husband at home who has become a quadriplegic.

If you read these type of novels for an escape, don't choose this book. It depressed the heck out of me. Half the story was about Joe's mindless sex which was not romantic at all. The other half was about the grim reality of being trapped in a marriage with major problems.

The books "payoff" at the end was abrupt and I couldn't find any romance. It was well written but I didn't enjoy it.

**WARNING SPOILER*I absolutely LOVED Broken. I cried my eyes out when Adam died. I really wanted Sadie to end with Adam but then again I wanted her to end up with Joe too. I have to say though that I was really disappointed with the ending because I want some kind of love declaration from Joe since all through out book he is with different woman and we never get to see how he was feeling/thinking about Sadie. Although when he said that all those stories he told and how he image it was Sadie was so sweet. I hope Megan Hart writes a squeal or short about them.

While I REALY liked this book, i would not call it an erotic novel (personally I think that this should be classified as a romance because there is sex but there are also other parts). One of the first things that should be mentions this book is not what it seems. The next thing that should be said is have a box of tissues near because there are quite a few really said parts, and when you're not crying the author dose a wonderful job of creating sex scenes that the reader can actually put them in to. Over all besides the crying parts this book was a great read and an eye opener.

Amazing. You won't want to stop reading. David Nicholls is an artistic genius and has created an awkward male protagonist that everyone with a sense of humor will love and never forget. There isn't any part of the book that is unnecessary or boring, and the end comes much too soon.

This novel rambled on and bored me. It is difficult to develop respect or a liking for the main character as he is portrayed and developed. That may have been the biggest difficulty and disappointment for me. I had to work to finish the novel.

I love both coming-of-age books and comic novels, especially British ones, and like the protagonist of this book I was a teenager in the '80s -- so this seemed to be right up my alley. The story follows Essex schoolboy Brian Jackson off to his first term of college, a process he looks forward to as being transformative. He yearns to listen to classical music and jazz ("real jazz, not Sade or The Style Council"), engage in vibrant debates into the wee hours, and of course, have sex with sultry intellectual girls. If this makes him sound annoying and pretentious, well, that's pretty much how he comes across...for the entire book. Which is more or less why I couldn't stand this book.

Part of the problem with Brian is that he makes social and personal blunders on a scale that simply aren't plausible for anyone other than a caricature. Some of his mishaps are the products of too much drinking, but there are far too many times in the book where Brian says to himself, "Don't say X" and then proceeds to. Yes, to a certain extent this is the author setting a character up for later change/improvement, but his antics are predictable and quickly tiresome. And yes, to a certain extent this is excusable in the service of comedy, but it's the same joke over and over...

A much larger problem with the book is that Brian is portrayed as (A) average looking at best, (B) intellectually shallow, (C) socially inept, and yet he manages to win the semi-affection of a wealthy, sexy, Alpha-female totally out of his league. Alice doesn't appear to like him very much, has plenty of other suitors, but does invite him home for Christmas Break (among other things)! This is ridiculous enough, but Brian is also pursued by a sassy, sexy, socialist, Scottish lassie who is out of his league in a different way. It's one thing to derive comedy out of the protagonist's improbable social floundering, but it's totally nonsensical to take the same character and make him the object of not one, but two different women's affections! It's as bad as Woody Allen's worst excesses.

In addition to Brian's personal life, there are subplots involving Brian's relationship with his two friends from back home, his relationship with his mother, and his lifelong ambition to appear on University Challenge (kind of a high-brow British version of Jeopardy played by teams from different universities). The first of these plays out in improbable fashion, and is resolved rather conveniently. The storyline involving his mother is probably the best part of the book, and is vastly more realistic and affecting than anything else. The story climaxes with the taping of the quiz show, and Brian's action there is so wildly implausible (and yet predictable) that I threw the book across the room. I then picked it back up to discover a coda even more predictable, if not quite as infuriating.

The book has its moments (very few of them), but the joke gets old quick, and I'm baffled as to why so many people rate it so highly.

I can't say that about many of the books that are out there nowadays. This little novel is truly entertaining, smart and engaging and more should know about it. The hilarity of our protag., Brian and his forays into college life in the U.K. is so much better than the lame attempts about the 'Halls of Ivy' that pour into the lit scene year after year. Especially, the ones that take place here in the U.S. (How's about PREP? Or Tom Wolfe's CHARLOTTE SIMMONS?) I say, pass on those and pick this one up.

Rather than the hi-tech world of today, our story takes place back in the 'Big hair', happenin' '80's. The section where we have our hero sporting a 'Flock of Seagulls' haircut is only one of the hilarious scenes we get in this very entertaining book.

For shame more don't know about it. And I only heard aboout it via references in other book reviews I've come across here at Amazon. You'll laugh. You really will.

This book was great. I can't remember who recommended it to me, but I wish I did so I could thank them. David Nicholls is a great author, love the dry, self-deprecating British humor. I found myself laughing out loud during several parts of the book. He is a great story teller and the book has a very satisfying ending. (This book is better than The Understudy, but that is worth a read also).

I am a late comer to this series, but I love it. Great characters that are easy to care about. And so fun and sexy!!

Caught in the Act was a great romance mystery novel. Mick is undercover cop who saves Del in jewelry store heist and gets shot in the process. Del offers to take him home and care for him after the shooting... Check out the whole series; Caught in the Act (1), Treat Her Right (2) and Mr. November: Men to the Rescue (3).

This is the first book in Lori Foster's series re: three friends: Mick-the police detective; Zack-the EMT; and Josh-the fireman. Oddly enough, I read this series backwards starting with Josh's story. So, I really didn't get a clear picture of the relationship between the three friends until I read this book - CAUGHT IN THE ACT. While other readers seem to prefer the first two books, I really liked this one the best.

In the story, Mick Dawson is wildly attracted to a woman that he has only seen in the neighborhood. There is just something about her that captivates him, and he is determined to meet her. That meeting takes place during a jewelry store robbery as Mick arrives in time to save her life. In the process, Mick is shot with the bullet that was deliberately meant for her. Del, the woman in question, is confused and very grateful. She's determined to thank Mick for saving her life, so she follows him to the hospital and waits while he undergoes surgery for the bullet wound.

The only way that the doctors will allow Mick to leave the hospital is if someone can be there to take care of him. To the surprise of everyone, Del, who by now is also dazzled by Mick, offers to take him home with her. Mick (no fool he) immediately agrees. The story progresses from there with Mick and Del falling deeply in love, while Mick pursues the criminal(s) who wanted to kill Del that day at the jewelry store.

Without going into all the details of how the mystery is solved, I will say that there is plenty of suspense to keep you interested - apart from the sizzling scenes between Del and Mick! I really grew to like these two quirky characters, and actually re-read the other two books to see if I could find more information about them. I guess I enjoyed the book so much that I just didn't want the story to end! Highly recommended!

As I find with more and more with contemporary romance books that I read, I find that women are more frank and aggressive about satiating their sexual desires, as well as their lover's. It appears that the modern day man, "Samson", still desires, respects and appreciates this "Delilah" of the 21st century. Although the "Delilah", Del, of "Caught In The Act" is a true seductress and even brazen at times, she is not a prostitute nor deceitful, but a successful mystery writer unsuspectingly caught in a real life murder mystery. The "Samson", Mick, of our story is mouth watering sex personified.

Mick is an undercover detective (and Del's secrete admirer) whose shot while trying to protect her from being killed during a deliberately botched jewelry heist. Delilah feels obligated to personally express her appreciation to this unknown man who would so easily lay down his life for hers and ends up inviting him home with her - so that she can play his personal nurse and look after him. As you can imagine, he gets more than what the doctor prescribed...

LF has a good balance of romance, playfulness, sexy, mystery, danger and suspense. Everything about this book is fast and furious - raw passionate lust progressing into a respectful and endearing marriage.

I couldn't wait to read this story after reading Angel & Danes & Celia & Alex's stories. Mick Dawson, who was a teenager in the previous books & also at one time was Angel's & Alex's landlord. In this one its been a few years since those stories & Mick is an undercover cop.

He has been watching Delilah since she moved into the apartment building next to the one he owns. She intruiges him. While sitting in a cafe one day he sees Del enter a jewellry shop & follows her in when the place is robbed.

After saving her life & getting shot in the process, Del takes him home. Del has some very questionable friends who help her with her work. She writes murder books. She has a very dangerous way of researching her stories. She does the stunts she writes about.

She is implicated in the robbery by one of the men involved . And Mick believes him. He has Del bought in for questioning, which doesn't go down to well considering how they both feel about each other.

The ending was pure novel, straight out of one of her books.

This is the latest book in the Law of Attraction range.
Its one of the the best books yet.

I listen to it over and over. The teachings are so very easy to understand and practice. straight forward direction, very easy to see this works and changes the way you look at everything.. I highly recommend this CD!

I only listen to audio stories. The LAW OF ATTRACTION and FINDING THE PATH TO JOY was impossible to get into. couldn't even finish the first CD in both stories. Sorry. Don't waste your money on these.

I have just listened to the final CD in this set. And they answered ALL my questions. I found it very helpful. But I know I will continue to want and need support. So I'm wondering what to order next as I already have the law of attraction and Sarah books 1 and 2 and now finding the Path to joy through engergy balance, part 2. I'm so pleased with Esther, Jerry and "Abraham" because they have said everything I needed to hear. The answers to the questions they were asked were amazing. Now It seems obvious that they're right and I think at some level I have always known these things but I wanted someone to give me permission to accept these "truths" and they have done it. You know it's a releif to finally hear these things.

I just discovered the teachings of Abraham. The books and CDs and DVDs with Abraham speaking are powerful and exciting! I did not feel the same impact listening to Jerry Hicks reading this book. The only advantage is being able to listen instead of read during work. The material is outstanding. The delivery on this one is not my preference.

I am totally hooked on these books. They are outside of my normal reading (I'm a Kenyon, Showalter, JR Ward, and Feehan reader), but I LOVE Anne Stuart. I bought Black Ice on a whim (I had never read anything by her) and I loved it. They are really heavy with action and character development--not a lot of meaningly violence and sex. Her plots are engrossing and there is just enough darkness to balance the romantic elements. I cannot say enough about these books--I don't even know which is my favorite...although Ice Blue is pretty darn close.

Ice Blue is the third book in the Ice series after "Black Ice" and "Cold as Ice". I absolutely loved "Black Ice" and consider it one of the best books I've read. But "Cold as Ice" was like... a cold shower. I couldn't like Peter, he was much colder than I could take while the heroine, Genevieve, made one stupid mistake after the other. So I thought that Anne Stuart was one of those authors that wrote a great book but couldn't manage to repeat that feat.

I was so wrong! Ice Blue features an incredibly sexy hero, the half-Japanese Takashi O'Brian. While Taka fights his attraction to Summer until very late in the book, he is one HOT man. Summer is a wonderful heroine; clever, feisty, strong and -unlike Genevieve- not prone to stupid mistakes. She quickly realizes that Taka is her only chance to survive, even if he tried to kill her once and may even try again in the future. Takashi, walks an even thinner line between villain and hero than Bastien or Peter, so readers with a soft heart and fond of protective alpha males are better off this book. Takashi is a full Gamma-male, but his sexual aura is so strong that you'll never ask "what Summer found in him".

The tension between the two of them was palpable from the very begining and the plot a real page-turner (I hadn't finished a book in a single day for a long long time). Be sure to have plenty of time when you start this one because you'll not be able to leave it off your hands, but if you don't like controversial, gamma-type heroes please stay away. Taka is even harder to forgive than Bastien in Black Ice and that says a lot. If, on the other hand, you've been disappointed with "Cold as Ice" and consider whether to give the Ice series another chance... plunge ahead! This one's a rare treat!

I absolutely love this book...in fact I love the whole series! It is not for the faint of heart that is for sure...but I love how Staurt places the reader into the minds of the characters so you see everything. Allowing for redemption of a tarnished soul. And the sexual tension is as always amazing :) I pray the author will write more for this series or create another just as amazing!

I know this series is very popular, but I just can't seem to get into it so much. I tried the first, Black Ice, and never finished it. But, since I've seen many good reviews for these books, I decided to give it another shot. I DID finish this one- but I still found myself not fully engaged.

Summer Hawthorne has something that others want- a priceless Japanese artifact that prophecy foretold will bring about Armageddon. To her it's just a precious gift from a beloved Nanny who passed away years ago, but her selfish Hollywood mother has promised it to the leader of a cult that is more sinister than anyone realized.

But Summer isn't no dummy, no one's going to get their hands on it if she can help it. She decides to holds off the leader of the cult, The Shirosama, by exhibiting it in art display, to buy more time in protecting it. Only the game turns dangerous the very night of the Exhibit when she's kidnapped and thrown into the back of trunk by unknown assailants. She doesn't die though, instead she's rescued by a beautiful stranger who's own motives are murky at best.

Takashi O'Brien has a mission. Get his hands on the artifact and destroy it before The Shirosama gets ahold of it - and kill Summer before she can talk. But the cool, level-headed Taka finds both aspects of the mission difficult. Especially when he discovers Summer has secretly hidden the true artifact and replaced it with a fake ... or two. Plus, he's finding he has no desire to eliminate her much to his dismay. Yep, the attraction he feels toward her is as unwanted as it is irresistible and it will lead them across the world to the source of the artifacts beginnings and to a showdown with the deranged Shirosama that will probably end their association when Taka's original intentions are revealed, if not end their lives.

You'd think this book would have had what it takes to hold my interest. An Asian setting that I always find difficult to resist, a enigmatic beautiful hero and a feisty heroine. And yet, as I mentioned before, I found myself skimming at different times. The plot was plausible enough, but it lacked tension. There was no time that I didn't believe they would win and make it out alive- Taka was just too good at what he did. A thriller needs moments of questioning the survival of the protags to make it truly good and it was missing here.

Still, Taka and Summer where just too sexy together for me to not finish it. So I'm giving it a 3 out of 5.

That said, I don't think I'm going to continue on in this series. I'm not one bit interested in The ambiguous Committee- the group of people that this series is centered around- and there's just too many other books out there that I want to get too!

...then the world would have twice as many Anne Stuart novels. But, we must wait patiently for each new Stuart book, for this skilled author to take us out of our comfort zone and on a fascinating journey.
This sense of travel is one element I really enjoy in Stuart's fiction. She chooses international settings: when I read the Ice books, I get to experience another place and culture. I love the descriptions of Tokyo and the Japanese countryside. Of course, Stuart's characters are wonderful too. Taka is inscrutable, exotic, sexy--I wish more authors created multicultural heros. Summer is a much better heroine than Genevieve from the previous novel. Even though she's pretty much a normal young woman, albeit very well educated and wealthy, she manages to keep Taka on his toes without being annoying or making stupid choices. I like her sister too. She's a cool, level-headed chick. And this is where we first meet Taka's uber-interesting cousin Reno, who has his own story in Fire and Ice. Read all the Ice books. With the exception of Cold As Ice, they're way above par.

This book is incredibly insightful!
All my friends borrowed it and I ended up buying it for 3 friends!!!!

This book is great to unfold the steps of the mysterious thing called "falling in love". It becomes clear step by step, and reveals what can be missing at one step or the other so the couple can "fix" their relationship, if at all possible of course. And if starting a new relationhip, than it allows us not to be so "blind" and keep an eye on the progress of our new relationship to avoid loosing it. It just became my new night table book, and will remain so until I know it by heart!

I bet there are many more women like me that weren't taught the ins and outs of the courtship process as shared by Dr. Paul in this enlightening and easy-to-read book. Yes, I've read and heard about boundaries and have worked on them for the past 15 years as I became aware of my childhood issues and what needed to be healed. But the way Dr. Paul explains how boundaries come into play within the context of our love relationships, makes it so much more clear and makes me realize why relationships fail or make it. Being somewhat analytical, I also love the way Dr. Paul has identified the three phases of the process two people go through and gives insights about men that I've never considered before. Wow! I learned a lot and I love this book!

what a great book!if you want real help finding the right man,this book is for you.the author includes tests to use on men to see if they're right for you.he gives the reader a "roadmap" that relationships should travel if they are to be sucessful.if you're a fan of sex in the city,there's a section that will blow your mind.he attaches a "type"to each of the four women and explains how all women fall into one of those types.then he explains which type of man is your best compliment.i learned real tools not just the same b.s like most other dating books.
