After my last blog it seems appropriate that I recommend a romance. Problem is I don’t really care for most romances (the reasons for that can probably also be found in the below post). However after a little thought I realized that there is at least one glaring exception to that rule:
Annie’s Wild Ride by Alina Adams
It is one of life’s many injustices that this book is currently out-of-print. I just hope that eventually Avon will decide to capitalize on the well deserved popularity of Alina’s Figure Skating Mysteries by re-releasing the title with a new cover (sorry, but what’s the deal with the swan?). One of the things that I love about this novel is its heroine, Annie. Unlike so many romantic female protagonists, Annie isn’t a dewy eyed twenty-something damsel in distress/virgin. She’s a savvy, thirty-something Captain in the Air Force/single mom. The characters are complex and exquisitely developed. Of course you can buy the book used on Amazon for like a penny but I really encourage you to ask for it at your bookstore as well. Those requests are occasionally relayed to publishers which is of course a good thing.

As the author of "Annie's Wild Ride," I must say, I agree with your pick, Kyra, LOL!
And please, anyone considering even browsing the book, for the love of God, pay no attention to the duckie like thing on the cover!
To this day, I still meet people who say, "I love, loved your book... But what's with the..."
"I know," I say.
Thanks, Kyra!
