"One writes not to be read but to breathe...one writes to think, to pray, to analyze. One writes to clear one's mind, to dissipate one's fears, to face one's doubts, to look at one's mistakes--in order to retrieve them. One writes to capture and crystallize one's joy, but also to disperse one's gloom. Like prayer--you go to it in sorrow more than joy, for help, a road back to grace."

~Anne Morrow Lindbergh - (1906-2002) from War Within and Without - Diaries and Letters: 1939-1944

Comments on "Strawberries for Dessert" by Marie Sexton

Strawberries for DessertStrawberries for Dessert by Marie Sexton

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I'm new to reading M/M romance and I'm so glad I chose Strawberries for Dessert as one of my first reads. There have been some excellent reviews thus far so I'd like to tell you what this book meant to me.

Strawberries for Dessert spoke to me on so many levels:

* I'm a Jonathan, so I loved having a character named "Jon"

* My Mother's maiden name was Cole - What a great name for a guy!

* I've lived in Phoenix for the past decade - Great setting choice!

* I lost my job 3 months ago so my heart ached for Jon's loss.

Beyond that, I'm glad the book stands alone as I've not yet read the previous novels. I did wonder why Jon thinks of Zach so much, but now it all makes sense.

I couldn't put this one down and nearly read it straight through. I lost some sleep but I can sleep when I'm dead! I love a book when it's this engrossing.

Thanks to Marie Sexton for an excellent read! Can't wait to dive into her other novels.
