Roman Holiday 1: Chained , is the first book in a 5 part mini-series and for such a short read it delivered the first volley in what is to become another Ruthie Knox hit. Chained introduces us to our protagonists. Ashley is the chained protestor, who is still grief-stricken by her beloved grandmother's death. The subsequent selling of the Sunnyvale Vacation Rentals, the place she use to call home, to the evil land developer from Miami has made her desperate. So desperate she unthinkingly chained herself to a palm tree, with just a bikini and oversize shirt on, and with no provisions whatsoever. Enter the Latino Canadian (he just sound Canadian) land developer who is one hunk of a robot. Roman has everything under control, he'll just wait it out until Ashley has had enough and he can proceed with his plans. He didn't bargain on Ashley's tenacity, her negotiating powers and an oncoming hurricane to screw everything up. I really don't like series in prinicip...

Truly wonderful, Truly spectacular, Truly there is a naked beekeeper, Truly you will really, really love this. Truly is a full length novel serialized in WattPad and can be read for free for a limited time. I loved May and Ben. I loved how in the short amount of time they were together in New York, they connected and had fun and got to know each other. And it was all written so well that as a reader you go "Oh yes, it can definitely happen". They were both screwed up but not in the so angsty way that you read in some books. They're flawed but they also know this, acknowledged it and as the story progresses, come to terms with it and moved forward from there. There is definitely humor and fun in this story. There are moments of truth delivered in that matter of fact way that is befitting the characters personality. Ruthie Knox gives me two ordinary people, with ordinary lives, with typical regular people problems and packages this into one extraordinary story.

Meet Amber and Tony, a wonderful couple, together for 14 years, married for ten and have three beautiful children together. They seem like the poster child for a successful marriage.  That is until Amber starts falling apart.  This is an enlightening tale of what happens after the happily ever after. Making It Last, the fourth book in the Camelot series,  tells what marriage truly is about.  That sometimes in the pursuit of that happily ever after you kind of forgotten that there was a You and I in the Us.  It isn't just the role of provider and caretaker, mom and dad that can keep it together. It simply is keeping each other in sight and knowing that you have each other, you can survive anything.  This is a really good book, full of poignant, heartbreaking scenes, one that most married and even single people will definitely respond to.  Ruthie Knox is one truly talented writer. "You, she thought.   I choose you.  I choose this. ...
