Riding in a helicopter with the Beatles ... Overhearing Jackie Kennedy's conversation with the priest who administered last rites to JFK ... Falling in love at first sight (in a Queens bar) with a woman he would marry ... Catching Joe McCarthy in a lie...Surviving a Brooklyn race riot ... Running for public office in New York City (on a ticket with Norman Mailer) ...These are among the moments that Jimmy Breslin recalls, movingly and hilariously, in his acclaimed memoir -- a book written with all the brashness, candor, and style that have distinguished Breslin's newspaper columns and made him one of the most admired and enjoyed journalists of our time.The starting point: the almost accidental discovery that Breslin required brain surgery. What then unfolds, as Breslin weighs his medical options, is the story of a life crowded with memorable moments and memorable characters -- not least of all, Breslin himself.

Not a bad story
Format: Kindle
I liked it. It was of course a lesbian romance, which I have no issues with. I thought for the most part the story was well written. One problem I did have was I can't understand why Jade can tell Simone about her past with Phillippa, but has a problem telling Simone she's going to meet her to basically tell Phillippa off. That to me doesn't make much sense. I mean she could have told Simone she was meeting her and that it was something she had to do by herself so she could move on. I just had a problem with it.

simply amazing
Format: Kindle
The intimacy, the sapphic love, the connections across all of Anna Stones books is the perfect cocktail for an amazing read. Full of ups and downs and highlighting the raw beautiful power of women and bdsm in a positive manner that’s holds nothing but respect for all consenting parties. Again amazing.

Another Wolf in the Syndicate??
Format: Kindle
Another thrilling read of Persephone Black and the amazing mafia romance. This is Ariadne’s story. She is now a recruit at the Syndicate even though she is beyond advanced but she has to earn her status. It’s kind of hard to do when she skips therapy, ices everyone out and is always on guard. Sunny is kind and warm and personable. Total opposites. They are paired to spar as a team and find that they move well together. They also seem to see more in each other than meets the eye. Well written and engaging read! Loved the pace and the spice flowed well with the story. Highly recommend!!

Yet another good read.
Format: Kindle
I love these mafia books. I’ve read all the series, and they’re all interesting and wonderful books. There’s violence, of course, and suspense, camaraderie, and steamy sex scenes. I hope there will be a sequel to Lone Wolf. If not, hopefully there will be more from this author. She’s written some great stories.
