"You look incredibly lovely when you blush," he murmured softly.It was such a corny thing to say, normally I would have laughed in response. But he was looking into my eyes so intently that I felt bewitched by his words. My hand, which he still held, glowed from his touch and I knew my heart was beating much faster in response to my disturbed emotions.He gave me one of his flashing smiles and said briskly, "But I apologise; put it down to my randy state having just lost both wife and lover."And so Alice's search for an answer to her orgasmic problem looks like being resolved through a chance meeting with her husband Roger's best friend. Will Tony merely educate Roger or will Alice become Tony's latest conquest?"..G.B Hobson again triumphs with her masterpiece Smouldering Embers. There's such a wistful, genuine quality to her style that it's hard not to be drawn in right away. Hobson is not only a Writer, but an Artist. I have long since been convinced that her books will be a part of every library in England and around the globe..."Andrew F O'Hara, prize-winning author of The Swan, Tales of the Sacramento Valley.
