MANCHEE IS THE BEST

It's 1966 and 19-year-old Fred Fuller is living a full life. He's a student at UCLA during the day, and at night, he works as a messenger for Bank USA. As a bank messenger, Fred delivers and picks up data processing from a half dozen banks between Ventura and Fillmore, California. Fred considers him self a virtuous and exemplary person, but will he feel the same when he finds himself twice tempted? William Manchee has successfully penned another outstanding novel, keeping me spell bound throughout. I hesitate to say too much, because it's one of those books which proves true that "all is not as it seems," and I don't want to give too much away. I will say this, the plot was free flowing with plenty of twists and turns, and I was clueless all the way up to end and what an ending it was! TWICE TEMPTED will have readers questioning their own morals and values, and wondering how they would react if faced with the same situation.

A gripping story that I couldn't put down.

Once I started reading Twice Tempted I couldn't put it down. I was up all night reading it. I had to know how it ended. It was a great story.

An awesome adventure for the thrill seeking reader.

Take a ride on reading, pass go, collect $6.7 million and go directly to jail. Manchee provides an awesome adventure for the thrill seeking reader. This book swells the imagination, tests loyalty and probes moral values. Fred Fuller is a UCLA Student majoring in political science with hopes of becoming a lawyer. Working as a bank messinger, Fuller has total access to several banks after hours. With all that money sitting around, youd think that employers would really screen their applicants before hiring, but evidently not in Fuller's case. Knowing $6.7 million is in an open vault can't keep this Eagle Scout, congressional intern and Good Samaritan from using his "five finger discount" (aka stealing). He prematurely launches his legal career when he cleverly outwits the law into believing he's not the original thief of the bank's robbery. Getting the money out of the bank is a piece of cake. But it's when a bank cashier dies in Fuller's arms during the big rip-off that adds murder to the charges and further complicates hsi getaway. Still, this lawyer-to-be uses his legal instincts to wipe away any incrimnating evidence he may have left befhind. Switching license plates, changing the paint on his car, making plans to leave the country-he's already guilty until proven innocent! By now, Fuller's only hope is seeking the investigative skills of his best buddies to get him out of this mess. Steve Robbins and Randy Hanson, Fuller's best friends, travel across the globe and spend their life savings to help Fuller's case. Yet, despite the abundance of male camaraderie Fuller gets from Robins and Hanson, their companionship is not enough. Further muddiying his life, Fuller attempts to maintain romantic relationships with two completely opposite women. One provides explicit, lustful sex while the other offers loving support providing she keeps her virginity until their wedding night. Unfortunately wedding bells are held off when one of the leading ladies dies from rattlesnake bites. When will the misery end? Surprisingly, the person you'd least expect to hand around after this chaos pulls through for Fuller and adds to a very happy ending. A fantastically written novel with a handlful of twists and turns. Twice Tempted gives the readers hours of anticipation as the story unfolds. R
