Everything is mostly fine until Maria and Steph break up, sending Maria into a tailspin, and then onto a cross-country trek in the car she steals from Steph. She takes random pills and drinks more than is good for her, but doesn’t inject anything except, when she remembers, estrogen, because she’s trans. She’s in love with her bike but not with her girlfriend, Steph.

![]() This book has incredibly witty banter, pining (duh I’m a sucker), opposites attract, adventurous sexy scenes, and a relationship that actually progresses (we get to see the characters grow into a relationship, into a daily routine, instead of just a speedy happily-ever-after). Lori really shows you how he’s just a little boy inside with no one to love him. He’s cold and brutal but somehow so, so soft around Gianna. I wish I could be friends with her.Īnd don’t even get me started on Christian. But she’s also really caring, despite her wildly traumatizing past. She’s SUPER strong which I always love in a heroine and is definitely not a damsel in distress. ![]() By the end of the novel, I could see just how feisty, witty, and yet soft-hearted Gianna is. And props to Danielle Lori for managing to reveal why she’s like that and make her one of my favorite heroines of all time. She came off as kind of petty, like a vapid sugar baby who also has some drug/alcohol issues. ![]() Gianna, the heroine, is not someone I wanted to read about when she appeared in the first installment. It’s so strong it physically hurts me in the best way. Yet every time I re-read it, I love it more and more, and now I’m pretty convinced this is my favorite installment in the series. ![]() Book 2, The Maddest Obsession, touches on some darker stuff. I was so hung up on Elena and Nico and the…prettier? aspects of mafia life. ![]() Being totally honest, when I first read The Maddest Obsession I didn’t love it as much as the first book in the Made Men series. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Urn:oclc:877991145 Scandate 20100806163002 Scanner .

Spenceley's business philosophy is "no muppets" in the office and for staff to be "just a little bit crazy". ![]() ![]() Scale model: Very few people make Hawks centre AJ Ogilvy look small by comparison but Perth's Nate Jawai is a very large individual. Its most successful era of playoff runs, including the 2001 championship, was anchored by relentless defence from the likes of club stalwarts Glen Saville and Mat Campbell.īeveridge, who has taken on the unenviable task of replacing local legend Gordie McLeod after he didn't see eye to eye with majority owner James Spenceley - won't deviate from his plan of attack. This is a blue-collar club which has always hung its hard hat on a defensive mindset. The shift in focus this season to a more offence-oriented game is unlike Beveridge's successful outfits from his previous NBL coaching stint in Perth.
