Our Feet Were Made For Walking by Paul M. Kramer

     Kate didn't walk unless she had to.  She felt like it wasn't worth her time.  She was told it was good to walk and fun too.  Kate just grumbled.  Then one day she had no choice, she had to walk.  Kate began to walk a bit more each day and liked it.  Kate's friends joined her on her walks.  Soon they'd inspired many in their town to walk too.  They walked for fun and to help raise money.  

     This book inspired me to walk more.  It made me remember what it was like before I got my driver's license.  It will help you and your children get involved with walking too.  It's an easy way to raise money for any organization.  Just get sponsors and then walk.  You'll love this book.

     I didn't find issues with this one.

     I gave this one 5 cheers out of 5 because it's a terrific reminder.

Why Are We Fat by Paul M. Kramer

     We each use for different things. Some use it to cope and some eat when they are bored.  We've become addicted to sugar and junk food.  We all need to re-educate ourselves about food.  After we learn more about food, we can then work on eating healthier.  Everyone works at their own pace.

     The opening poem in this one touched me deeply.  I so enjoy books for children that give information.  If they can get the message across I love them even more.  We as parents need to set examples and this is one area we need to work on.  Your kids will enjoy this book.  Most kids today want to learn about eating healthy.  Get this one.

     I found no issues.

     I gave this one 5 cheers out of 5 because it makes a lot of sense.

Maggie Eats Healthier by Paul M. Kramer

     Maggie Magee was laughed at by others when she tried to participate in sports.  She was larger than the other kids. When the kids laughed at her, she'd go home and eat even more.  Maggie decided to eat healthier.  In no time she was running with the other kids and doing very well.  She was happy to be healthy.

     I truly love this book. It says exactly what needs to be said to children who need guidance in eating healthy.  I also love the beautiful poems that are included.  I am also happy this book teaches.  Your child will get the message of the book.  You will enjoy the fact it's not condescending .  The information is awesome.

     I found no issues.

     I gave this one 5 cheers out of 5 because of it's message.

Not Quite Forever by Catherine Bybee

    Dakota Laurens is a very  successful romance author.  She loves her job and shares her success with her friends. While attending a conference for romance authors, she meets a man who seems like he just walked out of one of her novels.  
     Dr. Walter Eddy was at the same hotel for a medical conference.  He is a very reputable doctor and there to give a talk to his fellow doctors.  While trying to find the room set up for his speaking engagement,  he sees Dakota.   
     They begin to get acquainted and its seems as if Dakota is in the setting of one of her novels.  She just hopes it ends up that way.

     Ms Bybee is the goddess of terrific writing and books.  She seems to have an instinct that is never wrong.  I found this book easy to read and very romantic.  I enjoyed the characters and their quirky personalities.  It was so much more fun to read about them than perfect people in a perfect relationship.   This beautiful love story is one with realism at it's heart.  Two people living life on their terms and doing it successfully gives this book its funny and captivating style.  Not Quite Forever is a welcome and wonderful addition to the Not Quite Series.

     I found no issues with this one.

     I gave this one 5 cheers out of 5 because you can never go wrong with Catherine Bybee's books.

First Experience: Book 2 by Simone Freier

     It's five years after Sarah passed away.  Sam's life has changed in many ways.  He's decided to pursue some of his fetishes.  Now he only needs to find a willing woman.  More than a willing woman, she needs to be open to trying these fetishes out.  Sam is meticulous about every detail of each fetish and about the type of woman he wants to enjoy them with.  Low and behold he gets reintroduced to his neighbor's daughter.  She's perfect, if only she were willing.  

     Written in a clinical style, this book takes all the fun out of fetishes.  Things never go as smoothly as they are portrayed in this book.  Unless you live the lifestyle, I doubt you'd find a willing partner.  The whole point to fetishes and sex is for it to be enjoyable. This book wipes all that away.

     I did find issues.  The characters are dull.  The writing style is better suited to how-to manuals. There is no excitement or enjoyment in this book.

     I gave this one 2 cheers out of 5 because it actually bored me. 

Origins of a Fetish by Simone Freier

     Sam and Sarah have been successful and traveled most of their adult life.  They know each other very well.  Their friends know they have an open marriage in many respects. Friends don't always understand it but they respect it.  When friends come to visit from Holland, Sam begins a conversation about fantasies and fetishes.  Everyone is having a great evening and conversation is flowing.  A few weeks later, Sarah dies and Sam is lost.  

     This book is written very well. The characters are a little stiff though.  I enjoyed the idea of the book, however the book reads more like a manual than an  erotic adult book.  I found everyone's actions and thoughts a little wooden.  I can't imagine people who really act or think the way they do in this book.  

     I did find issues.  It begins as though it's gonna knock your socks off and then drops the ball.  It needs some work to become what it's meant to be.

     I gave this one 2 cheers out of 5 because it just doesn't deliver.

Stripped 1: An Erotic Romance (a novella)

     Cassidy Carmichael worked hard her whole life. She had to work just to pay the bills and stay alive.  She had dreams though and those dreams are what kept her going.  All she ever wanted was to live comfortably. She wanted to be like everyone else. Going to movies, out to dinner and just having a bit of fun.  Her move to Los Angeles was supposed to give her the break she needed.  It didn't.  While talking with her friend Sherry one night, she found out how Sherry earned her living.  She suggested Cassidy give it a try. Cassidy wasn't sure she could do it, but decided to give it a try.  

     Wild and sensual, this book will make you HOT!  I enjoyed reading about Cassidy and Sherry.  It was  an interesting and fun read.  Certainly this book could be the start of an evening of romance.  Well written and characters who are well defined, this book is everything you could want in an adult read.

    I found no issues with this one.

    I gave this one 5 cheers out of 5 because you can't find a better one.
