This book is awesome. Admittedly the story is a typical high school freshman learning to live with his parent’s separation and an infatuation with his best friend. What makes this story whole is the language. It’s not what you would find in a typical serious teen novel. It is not so far in the other direction as to be unbelievable or as if the author is trying too hard. I find this completely believable. I have a few teens in my Library I can picture as Jay. Besides the innate and lovable Jay there is a full nest of wacky characters. The sister who seems more adult then her mom, the workaholic dad, the best friend who is completely clueless and the teacher I wish I had in school. This read is quick, fun and heartfelt.

Power tools #2 is similar to #1. Morgan has hired the guys to get her bakery up and ready. She has a secret crush on Jo that comes right in time for her birthday. Besides the good times between the sheets (and on the kitchen table) you also get an update on Kate and Mike.

Most have heard of secret societies like the Templar’s & Mason’s and the Skulls & Reptiles on college campuses. This S.E.C.R.E.T. society is just for women to help them discover the sexual woman inside. The women of the golden bracelets help a women live out all of her fantasies empowering her sexual self. This book is erotic without being vulgar. Plus you get pulled into the story and you only want the best for the characters. My friend and I even argued over which characters were skuezzy or lying. There had better be a sequel. The ending perfectly sets up for one, so please, do not make me wait long.
