And some of it works; some of it doesn\u2019t. The story is fast, but the ending left me cold. Also, Danielle as a character was very selfish for most of the book; her relationships with women seemed one-sided and shallow. It appears she only changes with the conception of her child. And her classifying her transsexual friend as not \u201cnatural, God made beauty\u201d\u2014not cool at all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reviewed January 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Publisher\/Date:\u00a0 AuthorHouse, Mar. 2011 Genre:\u00a0 Romance Pages: \u00a0220 Chaos is living in this dreadful economy.
