My first Kindle book. Suzanne Brockmann is a guilty pleasure...unrealistic romantic-suspense. I like the returning characters. Sam and Alyssa and I have been through so much together. But Brockmann has issues she cares deeply about: she is one of the first mainstream novelists to create a strong action-figure character who's gay, and she's the first to include a romantic story line for Jules, her gay hero. This book touches on torture and waterboarding as tactics used by some American intelligence agencies. I appreciate and admire her passion and her willingness to take on these ideas.

And she can tell a rip-roaring story. Kindle cost: $9.99! Bookstore cost? $25+.

I LOVE MY KINDLE!
