Friday's Top Ten

One of my long-time blogging friends, Linda Kage, is re-releasing one of her previously published books, KISS IT BETTER, and today is the cover reveal for the new release. I'm happy for Linda and pleased to be taking part in the party. So...

The top ten things about Linda Kage's KISS IT BETTER:

10. A PAST TO PLAGUE HIM...

  9. When his sister is sexually assaulted, memories of his miserable childhood haunt Reed Walker and interfere with his perfectly structured life.

  8. To add to the chaos,

  7. When dating becomes the last thing on Reed’s mind, Sophia Eschell, the very woman he’s been dreaming about for the past three years, barrels into his life.

  6. AND A WOMAN TO HEAL HIM...

  5. After hooking up with too many troubled men,

  4. Sophia is determined to find a normal, average guy sans baggage.

  3. She turns her attention to Reed, only to discover he has more issues than anyone. 

  2. But if he can learn to open up to her, can she honestly reject him or 

And the #1 thing about Linda Kage's KISS IT BETTER:

  1. Will she kiss it all better?

Don't we always think we can fix the man with baggage?
Laura Eno said…
This is a great way to introduce a book - the 10 list. :)
I had to laugh about finding someone without baggage. We've all thought such a creature exists at one time or another, haven't we?
Congrats, Linda!

Oops! I got sidetracked this morning. It's sneaking up on lunchtime, and I'm still in my pj's. Gotta get with the program.

Alex, Em-Musing, Linda G and Diane - I'm guessing a happy ending, too ... even with baggage :)

Laura - So true about the baggage. Glad you like the top ten idea. Maybe I should call these the Book Ten :)

Summer - Kisses fix everything, right?
Congrats Linda!! Nice to meet you. Have a great holiday weekend my friend
Carol Kilgore said…
Linda Kage - I'm glad you like it. Best of luck!

Yvonne, Lydia and Rachna - I agree! It sounds like a great read.

VR - Baggage is much more fun to read about than carry around!

Wow. Yet another seriously talented person here in the blogosphere. Congratulations Linda - and I hope you have lots and lots of success.
I don't think I know ANYONE (including myself) without at least some baggage. Hopefully of the carry on kind.

Tina - I think the book sounds great, too.

Lexa - Linda's a smart chick :)

Good luck finding a guy without baggage.

"The mark of a mature man is a certain scar he bears: the memory of a perfect woman never won, or of a once-true love forever lost.

However much he may love you, he is only here because she is not".
Your post made me think of the saying: A lady does not kiss and tell... or is it a gentleman who does not kiss and tell... something like that...?
A man without baggage? Does that exist? Good luck with that search...

DWei and Michelle - Everyone has baggage, men and women alike. My opinion.

Robin - My thoughts exactly.
