KISS THEORY GOOD BYE
NEW BUSINESS BOOK GIVES TEXTBOOK THEORY THE BIG KISS OFF!
Business Expert Writes the Playbook on 'How To' Rapidly Increase Performance and Profit in Any Company.
Bob Prosen cuts like a laser through the fog of political correctness and business-as-usual in his new book, Kiss Theory Good Bye: Five Proven Ways to Get Extraordinary Results in Any Company.
Prosen says he's had enough of the business books that tell readers what to do rather than how. "Forget the platitudes and feel-good anecdotes from a few CEOs and business gurus. Get to the point—the how-to details that can actually help leaders get the results they need in the companies they run," Prosen counsels.
With the same genius that he used to turn around inherited, underperforming operations within 12 to 18 months in some of the world's most prominent companies including AT&T, Sprint, Hitachi, NCR, and Sabre, Prosen delivers a straightforward, no-nonsense, battle proven guide to accelerate performance and profits in any organization.
"A smart business leader can achieve unprecedented bottom-line results by forsaking abstract discussions and vague textbook theory, shutting down endless excuses, killing off company politics, holding people accountable, and simply doing things that clearly work," says Prosen.
Kiss Theory Good Bye shows you how to quickly and consistently achieve extraordinary results in leadership, sales effectiveness, operational excellence, financial management, and customer loyalty.
Packed with easy to follow, step-by-step instructions, this book will show you how to
•Achieve consistent results, quarter after quarter
•Align your entire workforce to meet the organization's top objectives
•Increase accountability so you get the results you need
•Attract and retain top talent
•Beat your competition and lock in customer loyalty
•Reduce costs while increasing quality
•React less and have more time to plan
•Make your job easier and your organization run more smoothly
Contrary to the book's seemingly corporate focus, readers quickly point out that his business execution principles apply equally to not-for-profit organizations. As Los Angeles Unified School District Business Manager Michael A. Eugene reports, "Kiss Theory Good Bye is a compelling read, offering a toolbox to public- and private-sector managers alike to help establish clear focus, increase accountability, effective management, and measurable outcomes."
While other business books try to tell you what to do to run your business better, faster and for greater profit, Bob Prosen's Kiss Theory Good Bye gives you the tools and step-by-step directions to make it happen. For leaders who demand superior results, Kiss Theory Good Bye delivers the goods for taking immediate - and lasting - action.
My goal for sharing my knowledge and experiences is to give you the answers you need to immediately enable your enterprise to achieve its full potential. Leaders want their ideas and initiatives consistently carried out without hassle and rework. They want accountability, and value results over theory. I wrote Kiss Theory Good Bye with two principles in mind. First, theory would be replaced with proven tools, tactics, and answers that get results. Second, all of the information must be relevant and directly applicable to today's business challenges without the need for translation.
Until now this information has only been available piecemeal, leaving you to find, assemble, and translate it to fit your business. You might have gathered some of it through mentors, by trial and error, or by surviving the "school of hard knocks." But by the time you finish reading Kiss Theory Good Bye, you will have the answers you need to immediately begin improving results throughout your entire organization. And you will find that this book will remain a useful resource for quick, proven answers to resolve your most pressing business challenges.

Required Reading for MBA Students.......2007-09-24
From the moment I read Prosen's book, I knew it had to be required reading for the MBA class I'm teaching. Because my day job puts me in the trenches with organizations of all sizes, I knew that this book hit the nail on the head. While other books make the case for getting from "good to great" this book creates the roadmap for HOW to achieve it. With relevant examples, usable tools, and a down-to-earth common sense approach, Prosen provides a timeless tool of common sense for senior leaders of organizations. He also provides applicable reasons for addressing the "nay sayers" in the organization. If you're tired of books that provide a lot of fluff with little take-back-to-your-desk-application, then get this book. My MBA students have assured me that they are keeping this book in their library.
Practical advice and a powerful read!.......2007-08-11
Our CEO group used the content from this book to transform our businesses in 2007! The tools and concepts are both practical and measurable. To date it has helped our group increase enterprise value by over $500M! The entry price of this book seems pretty reasonable for the return.
There are better places to spend your business-book dollars.......2007-07-19
Thirty-one Amazon customers loved Kiss Theory Good Bye: Five Proven Ways to Get Extraordinary Results in Any Company (Bob Prosen, Gold Pen Publishing, 2006, 256 pages). I didn't. I'm more inclined to agree with Publishers Weekly that this book is "prosaic" and "utterly familiar." There are better places to spend your business-leadership-book money.
Prosen set out to provide answers and tools to help business leaders overcome barriers to success. Drawing on 25 years of consulting experience, and on the self-ratings of some 66 leaders, Prosen claims to have found five crippling habits that prevent success and five attributes of successful organizations.
Unless you just crawled out of a cave, you already know what it takes to succeed:
Superior leadership
Sales effectiveness
Operational excellence
Financial management
Customer loyalty.
You need to read many books, watch many leaders in action, and try many things yourself to really understand each of these. Prosen devotes between 14 and 24 pages to each one. That's just not enough to give you any new insights or ideas.
If I were you, I'd turn to these books instead:
For general leadership insight, look to Confronting Reality: Doing What Matters to Get Things Right and 12: The Elements of Great Managing.
For sales effectiveness, turn to Strategic Customer Care : An Evolutionary Approach to Increasing Customer Value and Profitability and Delivering Profitable Value: A Revolutionary Framework to Accelerate Growth, Generate Wealth, and Rediscover the Heart of Business.
For operational excellence, your focus should be on increasing value-adding activities and eliminating non-value-adding activities. (This isn't the same as Prosen's cost-control focus.) Here I recommend two books that explain Lean thinking: Lean Thinking : Banish Waste and Create Wealth in Your Corporation, Revised and Updated and The Toyota Way Fieldbook.
The best source on financial management I've read is Financial Intelligence: A Manager's Guide to Knowing What the Numbers Really Mean.
For customer loyalty, you can't go wrong if you pick up Lean Solutions: How Companies and Customers Can Create Value and Wealth Together.
Back to the Basics.......2007-07-15
A refreshing theme throughout this book is the need for companies to create cultures based on accountability and results. When organizations have clear directives and hold team members accountable to achieve them, great things happen. Without these basic building blocks, some of the "cripplers" that Bob enumerates - rationalizing inferior performance, planning in lieu of action, and aversion to risk/change spread throughout organizations substantially eroding their effectiveness. This is "common sense, but not common practice" - a mantra frequently repeated by the author.
Bob introduces 5 attributes of highly profitable companies - superior leadership, sales effectiveness, operational excellence, financial management, and customer loyalty. He then explains how to execute in each of the areas. Bob asks questions to help the reader identify where his/her organization stands in each area so focus can be placed appropriately. Lists of actions complete each chapter with references to additional helpful materials available on the author's website.
Leaders/Managers at all levels need to get back to the basics. This book shows them the way. It cuts through the clutter and noise and addresses common problems with practical and proven solutions. If the tips in this book are "practiced," and institutionalized extraordinary results will follow.

Finallly a book with practical and real-world application.......2007-07-02
I was fortunate enough to see Bob speak at a local SMEI event several months back which prompted me to purchase the book there in person. His practical, real-life examples and principles are a must for the successful GM and sales leader. Thanks Bob for a book we can all apply right away!

In a global economy, it is crucial for business people to be sensitive to cultural differences. And although the best reason for doing so may be ethical, it's great for business as well! This is an invaluable book for "doing well while doing good" in your intercultural relations, covering the protocols of appointments, business entertaining, greetings, forms of address, gestures, dress, and gifts in 60 of the nations you're most likely to be doing business. Some interesting excerpts:
- Australia: The "thumbs-up" sign, which in the U.S. indicates "O.K." is considered rude.
- Brazil: The colors of the Brazilian flag are green and yellow, so avoid wearing this combination in any fashion.
- China: Avoid making exaggerated gestures or using dramatic facial expressions. The Chinese do not generally use their hands when speaking, and become distracted by a speaker who does.
- Indonesia: Since it is impolite to disagree with someone, Indonesians rarely say "no"...a clear way to indicate "no" is to suck in air through the teeth.
The authors are very aware that no generalizations apply to all residents of a nation, and are careful not to stereotype or judge. Highly recommended to any business traveler--or any student of the diversity of human cultures.
(Note: a great companion volume for this book is Gestures, which is devoted entirely to explaining the varieties of hand gestures in 82 countries!)

Understanding.......2007-06-18
This is an excellent resource to assist those of us who live in the United States to better understand and relate to individuals from other countries. Behaviors are very often driven by culture. I use this with Homestay families when I place students from other countries in their homes.
A Quick Reference on Cross Cultural Sensitivities.......2007-05-19
I run leadership programs for high potential Fortune 500 women in NYC, Boston and NJ and I meet so many talented men and women from Eastern Europe, Europe, South America, Asia, South America and even Iceland. This book gives me a quick reference on business culture, mores, traditions and social culture. I know these get out of date quickly but it's sure better than not knowing and allows you to be more responsive.
Dubious advice at best.......2007-04-25
I lived in South East Asia for nearly 12 years including over 8 of them in Indonesia. From tiny villages in Java with just under 30 families to the skyscrapers of Jakarta, running industrial projects and developing business. I even gained a native level fluency of the language.
At no time during that entire period did I EVER find an Indonesian who would hesitate to tell me "no". They can say it, do say, and even have a few different words for it. The only time I've ever seen someone suck air between their teeth is when they've eaten something really hot.
It's naive to think a single book or individual can cover the customs of 60 countries. Having spent considerable time in one geographic region with my feet on the ground for years in nearly a dozen countries, I couldn't even begin to start to explain the cultural traits and habits of maybe four or five of those countries.
Find yourself a real cultural etiquette book that focuses on the specific country you want to visit, and forget this superficial treatment that looks like a rehash of every other general cultural etiquette book I've ever read.
Another inaccuracy .......2007-03-30
Perhaps many of the people who are rating the book so highly did not take the "cultural IQ" quizzes. I took the one for Spain, a country I have visited. The answers were correct in identifying the Prado as being in Madrid, but the last time I visited the Alhambra, it was in Granada, not Toledo (where the book puts it). That's quite a distance to move a major cultural landmark!
Kiss Bow or Shake Hands.......2007-01-12
Excellent reference book. Especially useful if you do international business of any kind.

Book Description
I am Princess Meredith, heir to a throne of faerie. My day job, once upon a time, was as a private detective in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, princess has now become a full-time occupation.
My aunt, Queen Andais, will have it no other way. And so I am virtually a prisoner in faerie–trapped here with some of the realm’s most beautiful men to serve as my bodyguards . . . and my lovers. For I am compelled to conceive a child: an heir to succeed me on the throne. Yet after months of amazing sex with my consorts, there is still no baby. And no baby means no throne. The only certainty is death at the hands of my cousin Cel, or his followers, if I fail to conceive.
Now Mistral, Queen Andais’s new captain of the guard, has come to my bed–defying her and risking her terrible wrath in doing so. But even she will hesitate to punish him in jealous rage, because our joining has reawakened old magic, mystical power so ancient that no one stands against it and survives. Not even my strongest and most favored: my Darkness and my Killing Frost. Not even Mistral himself, my Storm Lord. But because Mistral has helped to bring this magic forth, he may live another day.
If I can reclaim control of the fey power that once was, there may be hope for me and my reign in faerie. I might yet quell the dark schemes and subterfuges surrounding me. Though shadows of obsession and conspiracy gather, I may survive.

My second favorite Merry book, though not necessarily strong enough to stand alone.......2007-10-02
Mistral's Kiss is by far the best Meredith Gentry book I've read in awhile. True, it doesn't necessarily have the depth and plot to be considered as its own story, and is more a continuation of where we left off in A Stroke of Midnight, but I must give Hamilton credit for actually making this story go somewhere finally. The first Meredith Gentry book, A Kiss of Shadows, did an excellent job of world building and making me interested in Merry. Books 2 and 3 (A Caress of Twilight and Seduced by Moonlight) were more a session in "Faerie Court Politics for Dummies" than an actual continuation of the storyline; and then we have book 4, where the story finally began to progress and I could stop hearing about Merry's background and start seeing her get down to business.
In that same vein, Mistral's Kiss continues with the story of Merry and her merry men getting down and dirty to bring the Unseelie Sithen back to life, though most of the sex in this book wasn't even of the sort that would get her on the Unseelie throne. Still, some of my favorite characters, Sholto, the Lord of That Which Passes Between, and Mistral, the new captain of Queen Andais's guard, are featured prominently in this book and give me a break from listening to Galen being clueless and Frost pouting all the time. In fact, Mistral's Kiss is a breath of fresh air in a series that had become a bit stifling in its monotony. I finished this book in only four hours, and just in time since it's only three weeks until book 6 (A Lick of Frost) makes its debut in bookstores. And after the way this one ended I can hardly wait to see what's next in this series. I can only hope that book 6 keeps furthering the plot and doesn't take us back to that stagnant place where we're just waiting for something to happen, with Merry have needless sex while we do it.
The Sithen Rejuvenated.......2007-09-15
Mistral's Kiss (2006) is the fifth fantasy novel of the Meredith Gentry series, following A Stroke of Midnight. In the previous volume, the sithen began to respond to Merry's implicit requests. The long lost ambiance of meadows and forest under a sunlit sky manifested within the faery mound. Such power was supposed to signify the rightful ruler of the sithen.
Queen Andais began to accept the unsuitability of her son as the proper ruler of the Unseelie. As she began to admit his faults, others came forward with other defects. At the same time, she was forced to admit that Merry lacked such flaws.
In this novel, Merry is having strange dreams. Of course, most dreams are strange, but these seem to have some message to her from the god and goddess. Then she wakes up with a horn cup in her hand. Her guards even seem to recognize it.
When a tear drops into the cup, a deep gold liquid bubbles up and fills the cup to the brim. Merry offers the cup of horn to Abe and he drinks it down. Then he falls back and appears to be sound asleep. Yet when Merry calls his name, Abe sits up, laughs, kisses her and starts loving her.
In the middle of this coupling, Mistral enters the room abruptly and literally falls onto Merry. He is trying to disengage himself when brightly colored patterns begin appearing on the bodies of the guards. Then Merry notices that they are no longer in the bedroom, but within the dead gardens.
Queen Andais breaks into the gardens and interrupts the action. Yet a stray breeze diverts her from the usual rant and she sees signs of rejuvenation in the dead space. She is so startled that she leaves Mistral with Merry to continue the sexual coupling.
In this story, Merry is able to restore life to the gardens, but has trouble leaving the underground space. She and the guards end up within the Slaugh dead gardens with several irate Night Hags and other such threatening them. Then she has sex with King Sholto and the Slaugh garden also blooms.
A side effect of this renewal is the intrusion of white marble into the dark corridors of the Unseelie mound. The torture chamber gains white walls and floors. Flower gardens appear in places where they have not been before. Queen Andais begins to fear that her mound will become an example of Seelie chic.
This story has more sex in the opening chapters than any of the previous books. Obviously, the sexual magic generated by Merry is driving the rejuvenations. However, the plot only begins to widen out from an orgy in the ninth chapter, when Merry and her guards try to leave the renewed gardens. The story diverges even further after the renewal of the Slaugh garden, with the wild hunt chasing Merry, her guards and even King Sholto.
The story also features some exotic forms of violence. Swords and projected magic are not evident until the final chapters, but blood flows from the very beginning. But so does magical healing.
The magical renewal of these dead gardens is not explained in this volume. The fertility rites are foreshadowed in Merry's dream, but the purpose is never revealed. Maybe this dangling ribbon will be explored in the next installment.
Recommended for Hamilton fans and for anyone else who enjoys exotic sex, fertility magic and divine manipulations.

I like LKH but I feel something was missing.......2007-08-23
I really like LKH's books don't get me wrong but this one did seam to be lacking something. Normally in her books she has this amazing chapter that reminds me why I like them and take time to read them. The chapter is normally interesting and all about the fairy people and their history or something like that. But in this book there was no chapter like that. It was a little like LKH had a outline of what should happen in each on of her books and just filled things in. You know: Merry has sex with at least 4 guys, The Queen get angry, Someone gets hurt, Something strange happens with sex location and so on with the rest of the normal things that show up. I just felt lost and like there should be more to most of the book..
This time, the author gives us only half a book, and no plot advancement.......2007-08-20
I really enjoyed the first four books of this series, but book 5 annoyed me, because it's way too short (just over 200 pages), and it only covers perhaps a half day of real time in the story ... during which very little in the way of plot advancement happens.
Don't get me wrong - the erotica's equally on par with all that's occured in the first four books ... but erotica is not enough. There needs to be some plot advancement !
I feel like the author has deliberately slowed down the pace of her story, and has fobbed off only half a novel on her readers ... and charged them full price for it. Although enjoyable to read, I felt very cheated. I'd wait til this one comes out in used paperback ... this one isn't worth full price, much less hardcover prices.
Simply Awful!.......2007-08-17
It's been a long time since I picked up a Laurell K. Hamilton book; I used to be a fan and enjoyed the Anita Blake series up until "Obsidian Butterfly". I stopped reading when her stories became more about sex than substance (around "Narcissus in Chains") and I read the first in the Merry Gentry series to find only more of the same, and so I stopped reading. Honestly, I thought her books were being written by a ghost writer, they were that much different from her earlier books.
My husband and I received this book for free at San Diego Comic Con, and decided to give it a read. Basically, if you randomly flip to a page, that page is about sex. The book is extremely short, and in large print, so the actual content of the "book" would be better compared to a short story. And yes, it's ALL about sex. I am not a prude by any stretch of the imagination; I think was more offended by the bad writing about superfluous sex. You can find better-written adult fiction on the internet than you will in this book. We both read it and agreed that we were glad we had not spent any money on this book; Ms. Hamilton has definitely lost two readers permanently after this farce.

Over the top.......2007-08-08
As is the case in nearly all James Patterson's novels, the villains are over the top here--geniuses, handsome devils, phi beta kappas--and the crimes they commit over years are well beyond belief. There are no crimes in real life to compare with those in this book or in other Alex Cross novels. Not even Jeffrey Dahmer or Jack the Ripper could compete with Casanova and his sidekick, The Gentleman Caller.
And Alex Cross, the psychologist police detective, is perhaps just a little too good in places and a bit naive, even blind, in others. Coupled with his character flaws are more serious plot flaws. Casanova has captured a good many women and is holding them in a cellar at a remote rural area. He parks his car some distance away and visits regularly to have his way with them. But when Cross goes looking there, he finds no path, and there surely must have been one with all the foot traffic in and out. Another flaw: Casanova gets some nasty karate kicks when he captures one victim, bone crushing kicks to the face, as they are characterized. Would there not have been clear signs of his injuries next day when he resumes his public persona? Didn't anyone notice that his nose was purple and bent sideways? It seems to me that the laws of physics apply in fiction, the same as in real life. There are other flaws as well, but two will suffice here. Certainly there are many readers who like crime fiction that goes far beyond reality, but for me it just gets funny, rather than scary, when the laws of nature are abrogated.
I have to add one observation with respect to this book and other Alex Cross novels: it is very dangerous for any woman to become closely involved with our hero. Such women get shot, raped, cut, traumatized for life, kidnapped, tortured, electrocuted, etc. Cross's love affairs are not to be envied, despite the fact that he keeps meeting gorgeous and willing females. Perhaps he should consider celibacy for the sake of society.
great book!.......2007-07-30
Maybe the best of the alex cross books! Women may not want to read this one, most that I know are too afraid to read this one. It is very good, far better than the movie. I saw the movie first and still loved the book. If you want to get into James Patterson books, start here (although along came a spider comes before this book)
An outstanding Read.......2007-07-04
Kiss the Girls is a roller coaster ride of twists and turns. Considered by most to be the best Alex Cross novel, Kiss the Girls is definetly worthy of that title.
Alex Cross is sent to North Carolina to investigate the kidnapping of his niece, Naomi Cross. Severel women have been kidnapped by the psychopath Casanova. One of them, soon-to-be docter Kate McTiernien, escapes from Casanova's hideout. Kate and Alex track Casanova down, and the revealation on who Casanova will shook you.
Mystery.......2007-07-03
Alex Cross the Great read. You should read the books in order of when they were written. They are always fun and fast moving reads with Alex Cross the supper cop or what ever he is or detective psychoanalyst. If you like a good mystery don't miss the Alex Cross books. This is an early book
A good read. Ignore the critics' nit-picks........2007-05-18
I enjoyed this book immensely. It is true that there are some very graphic descriptions of violent acts involving female victims. Graphic descriptions of violent acts are not rare in books of this genre, and I don't see the complaints if the victims are men. So, if you have a serious problem with violence against women this book is probably not for you.
The real hero (heroine) of the book is, in my opinion, Kate McTiernan. She is a tough, smart, determined woman who insists on pursuing, along with detective Alex Cross, the killer who had tormented and almost killed her. Of course it is unrealistic (as some reviewers complain) to suggest that a slim young woman, even one who is highly trained as a fighter, can get the better of a big young man who is also a well-trained fighter. But, it is possible and I have learned that, no matter how unlikely, most things that are possible do happen sometimes.
Other reviewers describe the story line, perhaps in more detail than is desirable, so I will not, other than to say it is a complex mystery story of kidnapping and murder.
Here, I would like to comment on some of the sarcastically phrased criticisms I have read on these pages. As I read them, I had to wonder if the critics were very young or just don't observe the real world very closely. For example, one critic stated that the ductwork in a house (a fifteen-room house in this case) would not accommodate a tall, slim man. No one, the critic states, has a two-foot air duct opening in a bedroom. Well, I don't have a fifteen-room house, but I do have a 40-inch wide by one-foot high air duct opening in my bedroom. That provides an opening area that is just slightly less than a 2-foot square opening. Fifteen-room homes have some very large ducts. There are comments about cops not doing "obvious" things, like shooting out tires or getting dogs to sniff out the killer. But, these things don't always work in the real world. There have, also, been real-world cases of abductors who have kept several young women captive (creating, in effect, a harem) for extended periods of time.
I agree that the ending is weak, but the story is good enough to overcome that defect.
As for the movie: I don't know why they even try to make movies from books like this - or most of the books by such authors as Dean Koontz, Michael Crichton, and Stephen King. There are scenes humans can create very well in their minds (assuming TV has not destroyed their imaginations) that don't translate well to visual imagery. Obviously, the scenes of violence (against women) have to be reduced or deleted entirely. Like them or not, those scenes are an integral part of the story. And Morgan Freeman is not the right actor for the role of Alex Cross. Don't waste your time with the movie.

best part of the day.......2007-09-11
This book is brilliant. I have read it over and over to my 4 year old son since he was born, and my 18 month old daughter - and it is because of the wonderful results. They squeal with delight and anticipation as they know where the kisses are coming next- holding there feet out, or hiding their chin. And we all love every page and closeness of a laughing, if not squirmy, goodnight.
Besides being one of the best ways to end the day, I also like how the book outlines the different people who make up the family sharing in kissing goodnight, and I suppose there must be some learning in there of body parts as you read the next line of where the kisses are going. But even without these additional features, the book is great and highly recommend it to any family with a newborn to toddler.
Very Sweet and Endearing Read.......2007-08-10
This has become a staple in our household. We read it every night and of course, play it out too! My daughter loves this book and counting the kisses!
Excellent book for Mommy and Baby!!!.......2007-06-27
I have purchased this for my daughter and as gifts. It is a wonderful board book, which invites interaction between momma and baby with plenty of playful kisses!!!
cute.......2007-06-08
My almost 2 year old daughter likes this book but not as much as "Daddy Hugs 123" by the same author...she LOVES that one. This one is cute though and she does like all the kisses she gets when she reads it, not that she doesnt get enough ALL day :-)
Very Sweet Book!.......2007-05-12
I love reading this book to my 20 month old daughter - she gets to learn about counting, family, and body parts and we get to snuggle and kiss the whole way through.
Product Description
Feline Breeds - Kiss of Heat By Lora Leigh Book 3 in the Feline Breeds series. They've waited a decade to come together. Long years filled with unbearable pain, and soul-wrenching torment that have changed them both. Left wounds that have laid their souls bare. Wounds that stand one chance of healing — if only they could stop fighting each other long enough for the truth to work its healing balm. Kane, a relentless warrior, lost more than his heart to Sherra in a night of mating passion that marked them both for life. But news of her death ripped his soul apart. For years he has fought to avenge the death of the woman he loved more than his own life, by revealing the deceit and cruelty of the Council that created the Breeds. But Sherra didn't die. In a cruel and evil twist she was convinced by her sadistic handlers that the man she had given her body, heart and soul to had betrayed not only her, but the child she carried — and lost. Amid the rapidly escalating violence against the Feline Breeds, Kane and Sherra learn that there's more to mating than just the "heat", just as there's more to love than just the sex…

Kiss of Heat.......2007-09-16
This was a good stand alone book but also gave a lot of background to the following books in this series.
love Lora Leigh's books.......2007-09-16
this series is hot hot hot, I almost have all her breed books now and they are worth reading....
Kane and Sherra -- at last!.......2007-09-05
Ever since I read the first book in the Breed series, I have been drawn into the fantasy world of Lora Leigh's genetically altered-humans. Kane and Sherra's story is also what I have been waiting for, wanting to read more about their tragic affair.
Eleven years ago, Sherra fell in love with the man who has not only brought her physical pleasure, but a safety haven as well. He had come to her and made her feel like a woman loved, only to leave her with the promise of returning. As a Breed, she was created, not born; trained to be a soldier. He was the sole thing that made her think there was more to her than a genetically engineered creature. But his desertion killed whatever feelings she had. For over a decade, she survived for her Pride alone. But despite how hard she tried to forget him, her genes yearn for the touch of her mate, constantly tormenting her with those bittersweet memories. Now as she comes face to face with the man who destroyed her heart and her baby, Sherra has only revenge in her mind.
Kane Tyler was one of the soldiers sent to the Genetics Council Labs. Realizing what the Breeds were being subjected to, he made a promise to Sherra that he would return and rescue the whole Pride. But when he did, the labs have been destroyed and he was led to believe that Sherra was killed. For years he has worked hard to avenge the woman he loved, forever haunted by her memories. But now that fate has brought them back together, it would take every ounce of their trust to overcome the pain they have both suffered from. And it would take every bit of this warrior's strength and determination to convince his mate that the only way to exorcise the ghosts of the past is for them to come together.
I have enjoyed reading about these two from the very beginning and enjoyed how Kane has constantly taunted Sherra in the hope of destroying her defenses. It was good to finally read their story and see them appease the gnawing hunger that comes with their need for each other. Some moments are bittersweet, adding to the poignancy of their relationship. Lora Leigh continues with this addictive series and she certainly knows how to keep her readers wanting more by giving us glimpses of the other Breeds and hinting on the stories to come in the future. I am looking forward to reading more of her novels.
Smoking!.......2007-07-08
Boy, does Lora Leigh know how to ride sex scenes. I had to make sure that I was reading the book by myself. I made sure not to bring it to read in the doctor's office. However, I love all of her books!
This book is graphic as are all of hers. I was so glad to read the story of Kane and Sherra. I waited for a while for this one. Sherra is the one with cat DNA. She knew Kane back when she was in the labs. She felt that Kane just left her to be experimented on and let their child be taken and she feels betrayed. Kane was under the impression that Sherra died at the labs. Well, imagine what they think when they see each other again. No, it isn't good to see you.
Sherra acts cold and mean to Kane. She ignores him, yells at him, wants to hurt him. Kane keeps trying to get her back into his arms. However, he is trying to be cool about it. Well, I am sure that you can imagine the ending. These books are pretty predictable but fun. I do not even think the ending matters. It is the heat and sexual tension between these two.
The animal breeds books are a great series to read. If you liked this one, I recommend starting with the Breeds book one. I am sad that my library does not carry her books. However, I do not hesistate to buy them.
Loved it!.......2007-05-23
I couldn't wait to read this book from the lead in to it in the previous book. Kane was quite a man and Sherra was his perfect mate. All the trials they went through really made me feel for them. If you love the Breeds series you'll love this book.
Book Description
Her visions have helped solve crimes; her instincts have helped find missing people.
She can predict future events and read your mind.
When she was six years old, Allison's deceased great-grandfather came to her with a message for her mother: "I am okay, I am still with you. Tell your mom there's no more pain." Allison shared his comforting words with her mother and thus began a lifetime of creating connections between loved ones and those they have lost.
In this stunning book, Allison shares fascinating stories of her encounters with people who have passed and her adventures as a profiler for various law enforcement organizations. With wit and compassion, Allison shows us what it is like to live with these special gifts and talents and also tells about her struggle to live a normal life as a devoted wife and mother. She shows how learning to accept her own gifts has helped her accept the unique gifts of others and how her compelling desire to relieve the pain of others has helped to define her own life, a life committed to the search for ultimate truth.

"""Death is a funny thing. It brings out the best and worst in people. It casts light on the truth and makes life blindingly clear."" Her visions have helped solve crimes; her instincts have helped find missing people; she can predict future events and sense your thoughts. These are some of the extraordinary gifts that define the remarkable Allison DuBois, the real-life medium, wife, and mother whose life is the inspiration for the hit NBC television series Medium. When she was six years old, Allison's deceased great-grandfather came to her with a message for her mother: ""I am okay, I am still with you. Tell your mom there's no more pain."" Allison shared his comforting words with her mother and thus began a lifetime of creating connections between loved ones and those they have lost. The purpose of her gifts became clearer when Allison worked as an intern in the homicide bureau of the district attorney's office and found that she visualized the crime as she handled the evidence. Allison now works as a profiler on criminal investigations. In this stunning book, Allison shares fascinating stories of her encounters with people who have passed and her adventures as a profiler for various law enforcement organizations. With wit and compassion, Allison shows us what it is like to live with these special gifts and talents and also tells about her struggle to live a normal life as a devoted wife and mother. She shows how learning to accept her own gifts has helped her accept the unique gifts of others and how her compelling desire to relieve the pain of others has helped define her own life, a life committed to the search for ultimate truth. If you have ever questioned whether there is an afterlife, this book will help you see that there is a living energy beyond death. "
Customer Reviews:
Kiss and Tell.......2007-07-07
I found the book interesting. I believe that Allison does indeed have a gift, but the writing and the subject matter was a little to immature for me. She spent too much time talking about how to help others and not enough time talking about herself and her experiences. Perhaps the next book (which I have) will be more of what I am looking for. I do enjoy the TV series.
Wonderful book for those who are grieving.......2007-07-05
Our daughter, age 31, died in 2001 from complications arising from multiple sclerosis. Even though we were "prepared" for her passing, and deeply believe in life after death, the grief was still at times unbearable.
Enter Allison DuBois and her honest and practical approach to life after death. The book is easily read. It does not attempt to convince you. This is her story. These are her experiences.
We have drawn solace from the book, and although the sadness of losing such a precious daughter will never dim, we have found another layer of peace and comfort. Now when the wind chimes sing and there is no wind, my husband and I smile.
Chapters 7 & 8 are worth the price x 10!.......2007-06-14
I had a difficult time getting into this book, but kept reading. Then chapter 7, 'Empathy' connected. Chapter 8 had me in tears, with an increased level of understanding.
Thank you, Ms. Debois. Understanding/closure is a welcome gift.
Preying on emotions..........2007-06-08
The only insight this woman has is that she can see that there are people out there desperate enough to believe that someone can actually communicate with dead people. If you have lost a loved one, I feel for you. I've been there myself. But if you want to invest money to keep the memory of your loved one alive, then start a foundation in the name of your loved one to fight the disease that they died from, or start a scholarship fund in the name of your loved one at their alma mater. Don't spend your money on this crazy hoodoo stuff.
Dont' Kiss them Goodbye.......2007-05-13
Allison DuBois is someone whom I can understand in her abilities.

it was really good.......2007-08-09
i like how she described everything, and it gives some really good info on her and gene
what fun!.......2007-07-17
growing up in the same time frame as shannon tweed, i can completely go where she's been and laud her surviving and thriving today as a result! an interesting glimpse into what makes her relationship with a bad boy of rock'n'roll tick.whatever demons have driven either one of this couple, there is an air of openness and honesty that must be healthy and refreshing not only for their fans, but a great environment in which her family seems remarkably well-adjusted for ANYone in THIS day and time. thanks for sharing!
Very Disappointed!.......2007-06-27
I love biographies of all kinds and I loved Gene's book 'Kiss and Make Up'. I also love Shannon on her reality show "Gene Simmon's Family Jewels". One thing I did not love, was this book. It was horrible. I know there are so many more things she is not sharing, and that is her prerogative. This was just plain boring and seemed to be too edited by Gene. I never give books away, but I just recently gave this one to a senior citizens home (I am sure someone will be plucked when they see the nude shots inside.) If you like to read about Playmate's lives, or any stars lives, read The Bunny Tales or even Sharon Osbourne's book. Don't waste your money on this- it was horrible!
great read interesting book.......2007-05-31
interesting and a great read.if your a gene simmons fan or family jewels fan you will love this book.
Boring.......2007-05-15
Thank goodness I got a used copy to take to the beach. The beginning is about growing up in Canada, boring. I stomached a few pages of this then skipped to the early Hollywood days. If you title a book "Kiss and Tell", then by all means do it! I get the feeling Ms. Tweed is ashamed of her past and does not want to upset her children.

Started out a little hard to believe but . . . . .......2007-06-22
I really didn't think I was going to like it at first. Hard to believe scenarios, mom who steals boyfriend, forced marriage, cigarettes that go up in smoke, circus performers, animals who talk to her. Not my usual taste but I can honestly say that I cried, laughed and felt more with this book than I have with a romance novel in a long time. I also like that fact that while the book was a little racy for me they were married.
Good writing & enjoyable characters!
Actually pretty good.......2007-06-08
I listened to this book rather than read it, and wasn't really sure I'd like it, but I was pleasantly surprised! I still like her later books better but in a goofy way this really charming. And I didn't think their reactions (esp of the hero) were unrealistic given their circumstances. Sweet read for the summer (or those trying to escape!).
Love it!.......2007-05-30
This was the first book I read by SEP and I love it. I am not much for the whole circus atmosphere but I didn't mind the setting in this book.
Daisy's interactions and trials with the animals was wonderful and touching at moments.
Amazing..........2007-04-24
I loved this book! I couldn't put it down even though I had to study for my finals.
Alex and Daisy are an amazing couple and the story is so original. I cried and laughed while reading it!
One of my fave SEP books.......2006-11-20
I really like this book. The characters are great. Daisy is sweet and funny, naive but smart, a bit vain and spoiled, but she showed spunk and bravery in a lot of things. Alex, coming from a dark past, he's a bit cold and mean-spirited to Daisy, but he kind of redeemed himself in the end. The important thing is that they really learned from each other how to be better persons.
I really love the interaction between these two. The funny dialogues are really funny, the sweet and tender moments would make you fall in love with them, and the serious moments are really touching and heartbreaking.
I recommend this book along with my other SEP favorites, First Lady & Dream a Little Dream.
Book Description
Wulf is an ancient Viking warrior with a useful but extremely aggravating power-amnesia. No one who meets him in person can remember him 5 minutes later. It makes it easy to have one-night stands, but hard to have a meaningful relationship, and without true love he can never regain his soul. When he finally meets Cassandra, the one woman who can remember him, she turns out to be the princess of the cursed race he's sworn to hunt-and forbidden to him. The two of them must face ancient curses, prophecies, and the direct meddling of the Greek gods to find true happiness at last.

Made me queesy rather than hot.......2007-09-30
I had read "Fantasy Lover" and "Night Pleasures" and loved both of them so much that I decided to try "Kiss of the Night" this time. While all of Kenyon's books are a bit absurd dealing with devastatingly handsome, yet troubled men who amazingly can't find anyone to love them except rather plain average women.... they were still hot smoldering romances with a fun plot thrown in for good measure. When I read the premise behind "kiss of the night" I thought that it would be a bit more of them same perhaps. Not so. Kenyon really got caught up in her world with this one and while I found some of the new information about Apollites and Daimons interesting, I also found the romance in the book suffering because of it. There were just too many lenghty gaps between Wulf and Cassandra's meetings that were filled with tedious information. I am also not into vampires per se. I enjoyed Buffy the Vampire Slayer but am not someone that finds bloodsucking erotic or sexy. I find it disgusting and was disappointed that there was so much of it in this book. While "Night Pleasures" had been about Daimons and Dark Hunters it never had descriptive scenes of bloodsucking. When the main characters finally resort to it in this book, I thought that I was going to be sick. Rather than a fun, humourous story filled with smartmouthed characters and moments that touch you. This book took itself way too seriously for my taste and quenched any heat or romance that I had received from previous books. This is not going to be a keeper for me.
Walk Silently While Being Mystified.......2007-04-27
Taken into a world that will mystify you to the last, readers will be shocked to find out that they really did not know a great deal about Diamons and Apollites and they are much more complex than the Dark-hunters were ever allowed to believe. Wulf Tryggvasen, a Viking warrior which no one remembers five minutes after they met him, which seems to be fine with him because he always has the best one night stands and no complicated relationships. However, that was before he met Cassandra Peters, a princess who has the destruction of the earth on her conscience; if she dies the rest of the world dies with her. I thought that it was an awe inspiring book with quite a few surprises set in between the pages!
A weaker link to the series ?.......2007-03-09
SK has a wonderful concept with the Dark Hunter series, but this is not one of better reads. I enjoyed Dance with the Devil so much more. I couldn't fully immerse myself in the attraction between Wulf and Cassandra and struggled with it throughout the story. The physical attraction is hot, but I couldn't understand how sworn enemies could become soul mates. This book has some emotional parts and some good secondary characters are introduced. There is a reunion of sorts between Wulf, Ash, and the four previous Dark Hunters. Simi also returns for a brief appearance.
This book is important to the series; however, because it explains more about the different Daimons, Apollites, and other creatures in the realm.
Really dissapointed.......2007-02-12
Not my favorite at all.The characters were good and the details about the Damons and Apollites were interesting, but I guess I was expecting more from the book. I don't have kids, so the whole having-wild-sex-while-pregnant is a little bit disturbing, at least for me. Consider yourself warned.
