Tonya's Review
5 DOGGING STARS
Sibylla has done it again!
This book is feckin awesome. I
absolutely love Denny, Fliss, and the Bangin' Mofos. I want to be a Bangin Mofos groupie (just
don't tell my husband lol). It's always
fun to read a book where the main character isn't American. I learned some new words. I caught myself reading Denny's words in an
Irish accent (hello, Collin Farrell) in my head. It may have made me giggle a few times out
loud.
Denny and Felicity's, or Fliss as he calls her, story
started when she was a senior in high school, on a field trip to tour the
college where Denny is a student. She
got separated from her group and they met.
She was jail bait though, so Denny let her go.
They meet again a year later, but she is dating his friend,
Trent. Denny is a jerk to her. He likes her way too much to see her with
Trent. Not gonna say anymore about the
Trent situation, you need to read this book!
Five years later, they run into each other again. The both try so hard to fight their feelings
and hide them. They have a ghost
haunting them and coming between them.
Plus immigration breathing down their necks.
It's a battle for them from all sides. There were times I wanted to slap them both!
"You deserve so much more than me, but I want more than
anything to be worthy of you. I want to
make you happy. I want to free you from
a past that hurts you. I want to give
you what you give me...felicity...happiness."
I love his nanny!
That's one smart old bird.
I think it would be fun to go dogging with Justin.
Can't wait for the next one!
Sibylla Matilde grew up in the mountain valleys of Southwest Montana exploring the dusty Old West gold country on the back of a horse. She attended a two-room schoolhouse beginning in 1st grade & had the same teacher until she changed schools after 7th. Beginning at about age 12, Sibylla discovered historical romance, feeding off of work of Jude Deveraux & Lisa Kleypas. She loves a book that can make the reader run the gamut of emotions, from the sweet glow of new love to gut-wrenching heartache. She is a true romantic & always has stories floating around in her head, living in a fantasyland until she writes them down to free them.
Music is her emotional trigger. Growing up with a Wagnarian-loving mother, Sibylla was raised to treasure music that digs deep into the psyche, drawing out elation, sorrow, grief, desire. The soundtrack to her life includes many genres spanning centuries. She looooooooves Thirty Seconds to Mars (rather obsessively, actually… but, really, how can you NOT be crazy about this guy!? Jared Leto. Shhh. ) & pimps them out to all her friends through Spotify. She also delights in Met Opera HD broadcasts at her local movie theater & hopes (listening Met?) to someday see Diana Damrau reprise her role as Mozart’s Queen of the Night in Die Zauberflöte. Sibylla lives with her husband and hero who saved her from her own calamitous, young-adult self. He makes her laugh daily, even when things are tough. He’s proved to her that love really can heal a shattered soul. In 18 years, they have never had a fight, although argue regularly with their two teenage kids who have, unfortunately, inherited their father’s quick wit (unfortunate as it is a quick wit that Sibylla, herself, definitely does not possess – there is a reason she is a writer & not a stand-up comedian). They live a quiet life with their two weird little rescued Chiweenies. Wait… teenagers & little yap-dogs? OK, maybe not so quiet.
