Siouxsie and the Banshees: The Authorised Biography
This is a great book because it has all the viewpoints of all the players in the band for a span of about 25 years. Really gives you an inside view to the bands history whether from Siouxsie and her ex Budgie, the fellow founder, Steven or one of her guitarists who left because they quit on her before a show, sickness, or being sacked. There were a few. Great drama and essential for anyone who loves their music. Also loved the backgound info about what went into making all their albums.
Dear John... (Harlequin Temptation)
Jenny Teale is a secret penpal to Captain John Braithwaite while he was fighting in the first Iraqui war. Her letters are intimate and win his heart. When he returns stateside, however, she refuses to meet him.JR doesn't know that Jenny has been wounded both physically and emotionally when a disastrous auto accident left her serious injured and abandoned by her (now ex) husband.He's determined to find his ideal woman, she's equally determined to be anonymous and independent. The resulting story is a delight.
Dear John... (Harlequin Temptation)
Jenny has a friend whose husband is over in Iraq (the first Iraq War) and John is HIS friend, so what could be more natural than for Jenny to become his pen-pal? Revelling in her anonymity, Jenny writes sizzling "come home soon" letters to John that not only get him through some challenging times but ignite in him the desire for them to meet once he gets state-side.He has no idea who she is and she shys away from meeting someone so able-bodied when her ex-husband (a soccer player) was turned off by an injury to her that gave her a serious limp and may prevent her having kids. They wind up dating, but only because he's so persistent. And they click, sharing the same sense of humor and a powerful attraction as well.She is a rock, visiting the hospital and helping children adjust to their physical challenges. How could John NOT fall for her? She's cute and gutsy and she gives good letter. :)It's difficult to describe how emotionally satisfying this romance is. You will treasure it and re-read it over and over and over. John's a man among men, always looking out for the men in his battalion, but he needs someone to not only need him but that he can depend upon. Jenny is that woman, but it takes her a little while to realize that. Sweet, sexy ending with a twist on the "Dear John" letters, but I won't spoil it for you by revealing anything else.
Dear John... (Harlequin Temptation)
Bought this new back in '96--liked it alot then with the military angle--Still it withstands the test of time-still a good story-reminds me of Jessica Scott's recent books about the military and romance.
Dear John... (Harlequin Temptation)
I absolutely fell in love with both the hero and the heroine. Their story felt real, and they are both such well-rounded, fleshed out charcters. I wish this title was available on Kindle, so it would be easy to grab and reread. High praise, indeed, from someone like me who reads a book once and never wants to touch it again (there's just too much to read and not enough time in one lifetime).The book starts out with letters exchanged between an Army Ranger and a somewhat-annonymous pen-pal (she's the sister-in-law of his best friend, another officer who is deployed with him). Letters pop up sporadically in the book. This is set during the Gulf War, and it's not laden down with a lot of Army lingo or heavy war issues, but it has enough authenticity to show that the author really put time and care into her research. It was so good - I couldn't put it down. I highly recommend.
Dear John... (Harlequin Temptation)
It is one of my all time favourites. A definate keeper if you love stories about soldiers, Navy Seals etc. An interesting approach to combine the fantasy in written letters with the reality of the characters.
