And his dating life was hysterical. I loved how he ended up reuniting with "family" (trying not to spoil book plot). Great job on him.<br /><br />If you don't already have An Eye For Danger, can I gift it to you via Amazon?editordevil.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06288986372377855628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8420257820615141580.post-86942952547470227332013-07-26T16:20:03.075-07:002013-07-26T16:20:03.075-07:00Thanks, Denise!

So I totally agree that making soundtracks is powerful for those of us who are aural-oriented as well as visual-oriented.<br /><br />Please let me know your email so I can gift you a copy of my romantic suspense, An Eye For Danger via Amazon (or Barnes and Noble Nook if you have that).

They met in juvie when they were young and in trouble with the law. Alex tried to bully John at first, then when John didn't back down, they became best friends. And have stayed best friends for almost 20 years.Rebecca J.

Every character needs a best friend to tell them when they're being an over dramatic weenie girl, or a total douche-bag. a Sometimes they even emerge from a former enemy. My favorite best friend in one of my own books (Green Eyed Temptation) is a bad boy trying to be good (Tanner Collins) befriending a bad girl being good (Angelique Baptiste). They understand and never judge each other but won't hesitate to call each other out when they slip into old habits. I can't seem to come up with one in another book, but I adored the way Temperance Brennan and Sealy Booth countered each other in the Bones series. Booth was always there to tell 'Bones' when she was being too technical about things.<br /><br />Great post, Christine! <br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02223323805359502083noreply@blogger.com
