This review is from: Passionate Misfortunes (Paperback)

I thought this book was very engaging. It was relative to the streets of Boston. Comical in its tone and Real overall!! It was a page turner. I read it under 4 hours and enjoyed every bit of it. Passionate Misfortunes is an emotional rollercoaster. It lets the reader experience all types of emotions through the souls of its characters. I can not wait to read the sequel. T Jones

This review is from: Passionate Misfortunes (Paperback)

Tony is a standup guy. While enjoying a day at the Pride festival, he courageously takes a step against crime. Are there still men like this around? Kyra, a spectator at the event, wonders as she's instantly drawn to the hero.

Tony gets a visit from an angel, and it's not long before he and his angel, Kyra, are spending all of their time with one another. That is until money gets funny and the change between the loving couple becomes estranged.

Mr. Harris, do me a favor, and add some more beef to part two for me.
