Book Overview
Behind the throttle of a Black Hawk, Hunter Morgan was fearless. As a firefighter, she steps up when others step back. A handsome woman with a big heart and dark secrets, she hasn't flown or dated since she was in the military and doesn't plan to.
As a physician, Lauren Briscoll has made it her practice never to turn away a patient. She eats her meals on the go and sleeps fewer than five hours most nights. At forty, she's alone by choice, running through life. When Lauren's grandmother dies, she does what she rarely does, takes time off, returning to her hometown to wrap up her affairs. While there, she reunites with the girl she loved in high school on an aerial ladder, questions what she once believed, and feels what she hasn't felt in years.
What's the chance that a guarded ex-soldier and a workaholic physician can rekindle what they once had?
Slim to none, right?

Rated 5 starsA Beautiful Cookbook with Excellent Recipes
I bought this cookbook after reading many wonderful reviews. I was not disappointed. This book is beautiful from start to finish. It took me while to pick out a recipe to cook because everything looks and sounds so incredible. I have now cooked several dishes and everything has been great and fairly simple to make.

Rated 5 starsAn outstanding culinary experience
This is the most compelling cookbook I have ever had in the more than 50 years I've been cooking (and eating). Usually I skim cookbooks, just picking out the best sounding recipes. But, in this book, I read (and salivated over) every word. Upon finishing, I immediately ordered another copy to be sent to one of my brothers and his wife who also love to travel and cook. All of the recipes I've tried so far have been fabulous...

Rated 5 starsFive Star Flavour Hits!
If you love flavour, you have to have this book. Thai food introduced many of us to that culinary balance of hot, sour, salty and sweet, which gives this book its name. Alford and Duguid reveal the similarities and differences in the cuisines of neighbouring worlds along the Mekong. I've been fortunate to help test for the authors, and this collection is my favourite so far. Many of the recipes are now in my daily repetoire,...
