Acquired: The CEO's Small-Town Bride (The Takeover Book 6), by Catherine Mann



The people of Vista del Mar were about to pay. Now that Rafe Cameron had made his fortune, he was out to settle old debts. Except he hadn't counted on running into Sarah Richards—his feisty ex-flame who was determined to put an end to his feud with their hometown.

Secretly amused that Sarah had turned into such a do-gooder, Rafe allowed himself to consider her pleas. But nothing, not even the thawing of his own frozen heart, would make this CEO amend his plans. Until one revelation changed everything.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
A veteran waitress at the Vista del Mar Beach and Tennis Club, Sarah Richards knew the number one rule for servers: never spill hot coffee on a man's cojones.

For the first time in fourteen years, she was tempted to risk her job.

Sarah tucked a signed receipt into the register while her gaze tracked along the lunch crowd to a table by the window. Where he sat. Her old high school boyfriend.

Rafe Cameron.

He settled into a chair across from his stepbrother, Chase Larson, seemingly oblivious to everyone else whispering about him even five months after his fateful homecoming. Why couldn't he have turned into a troll? Instead, the years had been so very kind to him. He looked even better than when they'd dated during their senior year. And he'd been mighty fine, unforgettable eye candy even then.

Rafe's blond hair had darkened to more of a tawny shade, his blue eyes icy-sharp even across the bustling dining room. Thick muscles roped his frame with a maturity that had only been hinted at during their teenage years when she'd wrapped herself around him in the back of his El Camino. Her traitorous body turned warm and tingly now, as it had then.

Apparently she hadn't made as large an impact on him. In all the time since he'd come back, Rafe Cameron hadn't spoken to her even once. At some point the man could have at least stuck out his hand for a "Hi, great to see you again" kind of greeting. She might have thought he was going so far as to avoid her. But it appeared she had become an insignificant part of his past.

The self-absorbed jackass deserved a pot of coffee in his lap.

Even worse than thumbing his nose at her, he'd stomped on the dreams of everyone in Vista del Mar. When the hometown poor boy returned as a mogul, everyone had hoped he would save the microchip factory, the small California community's lifeblood. But no. Last month, the Seaside Gazette had run an article announcing Rafe's plans to halt operations at the plant.

Just thinking about that expose in the newspaper… Anger steamed to life hard and fast at the prospect of her hardworking parents losing their jobs. She slammed the register drawer with extra oomph. And in seconds she would speak to Rafe "Judas" Cameron since bad luck had placed him at one of her tables.

Eyes off the coffee, sister.

She needed this job. She didn't have a family trust fund cushion like the patrons dining here.

A quietly cleared throat interrupted her thoughts. Heaven forbid somebody would catch her gawking at Rafe and mistake her curiosity for rekindled interest. Expecting her boss or another waitress, Sarah spun around to find her grandmother, arms crossed and brows high.

Busted. Nobody got jack past Kathleen Richards. Best to play this cool though.

Sarah met green eyes the same shade as her own. Looking at Grandma Kat was like peering into a fast-forward mirror of herself a few decades from now, with the help of a little auburn hair dye. They even shared fiery natures, impulsive to the end. Although Kathleen edged closer to the flamboyant side as years went by. Sarah adored her, this woman who'd known the secret wishes of a preschooler that wanted roller skates rather than a china doll.

"Hi, Grandma Kat. Are you here for lunch?" She sidestepped a waitress balancing a tray. The scent of chlorine wafted in through the open French doors where some patrons ate lunch outside under sleek black umbrellas.

Kathleen had come to the exclusive club often during her tenure as personal assistant to Ronald Worth, prior owner of the microchip factory. "I think not. It's more than a little out of my price range now that I'm retired on a fixed income." She patted her purse, shaped like a pink-and-black bustier. "I've come to see you, sweetie, since you're ignoring my calls.

Nilda and I are meeting up at Bistro by the Sea. We would love for you to join us."

"So you can tell me all about whatever new eligible bachelor has crossed your path, a bachelor I absolutely must meet?" She winced at the possibility Grandma Kat may have caught her gobbling up Rafe with her eyes. "Seriously, have you ever considered opening a speed dating service?"

"You could be my first client." Her outrageous grandmother winked, silver Siamese cat earrings swaying.

Kathleen had doubled down on her matchmaking efforts last month once Sarah reached the third anniversary of her husband's death in a car accident. She missed Quentin, always would, but she would deal with that on her own, without well-meaning interference.

"Thanks, but I think I'll pass." Sarah hooked an arm around Kathleen for a quick hug, urging her toward the door flanked by palm trees. "Love you so much. Don't need the help. Now shoo. I have to work."

Best to take Rafe's order quickly, like bolting back bad-tasting medicine. A sense of dread swept through her at the thought of going over there. Not just because of her temper, but because of that traitorous heat he inspired with memories that clearly meant nothing to him, yet still had the power to make her heart beat faster.

Grandma Kat stayed stubbornly in her path. "Is there anything wrong with wanting to invite my favorite granddaughter out for coffee on her break?"

"I'm your only granddaughter and my break isn't for another hour. Stop worrying. I'm fine." Fine, and trying not to think about all the sensual reminiscences tied up with that infuriating man across the room. "I'm just concerned about the factory closing like everyone else."

Rafe's need for revenge against one person would cost the town so much—too much. During their teens, she'd listened to him plan how he would bring down Worth Industries, bring down Ronald Worth. When Rafe had left the night of graduation, she'd never expected him to carry those plans out, and especially not at the expense of so many others. It seemed like only yesterday they'd disdained the sort of people who threw away their hard-earned money on a single meal that cost more than some weekly grocery bills.

Kathleen gave Sarah's ponytail a teasing tug. "All right then. I'll let you off the hook—for now. But I really do need to speak with you. Let's have dinner tomorrow. I'll cook, and I already know that's your day off so don't try to fool me," her grandmother ordered, then fast-footed it out the door before Sarah could argue.

No more delays in speaking to Rafe. She checked his table, and sure enough, he hadn't done them all a huge favor by evaporating into thin air. And he still looked bad-boy dreamy, blond and rugged.

Her fist clenched around the pen and pad in her apron pocket, arming herself for the showdown. She strode across the dining room, toward the picture window with its million-dollar view of the Pacific. About fifteen feet above sea level, the club sported stone steps carved into the bluff leading to a sandy beach swept clean of pebbles. A natural cove, rocky and secluded and romantic—she knew that firsthand from when she'd dated Rafe.

As she closed the distance between them, snippets of conversation hit her ears like someone changing radio stations. A business deal was made over Cobb salads. At another linen-covered table, two wafer-thin trophy wives pushed fruit and cottage cheese around their plates while discussing jaunts to Hawaii.

Eyes on the target, she reminded herself.

Having him walk away after high school, never contacting her, had been painful. The way he acted now just made her plain old mad. She whipped out her pen and notepad with a speed worthy of any quick draw from a Wild West cowboy.

Waiting and wondering what it would be like to run into Rafe Cameron again had come to an end. She would take the lead in instigating a showdown reunion he would never forget.

Rafe Cameron had tried to forget Sarah Richards over the past fourteen years, with little success. The woman had stayed stamped in his memory long after she'd married some other guy mere seconds after Rafe left town.

Not that he held grudges. Much.

Half listening to his stepbrother seated across from him, Rafe watched Sarah make her way toward them. Red hair scraped back in a ponytail, she dodged a silver serving cart of tea and coffee. Her curvy body was mouthwateringly showcased in a simple white shirt with black slacks, typical uniform for the staff. But Sarah had always been anything but typical.

As she charged closer, her feisty temper crackled in her jade eyes. He was used to animosity since he'd announced his plans to close the factory. In fact, he was surprised Sarah hadn't unloaded on him sooner. She'd never been one to hold back in the past and she was gunning for bear now. Apparently some things never changed.

Like how his body reacted to just a simple glimpse of her heart-shaped face…her generous breasts. Heat pumped through him, uninvited and unwelcomed. He'd come back to Vista del Mar to settle a score, to destroy Worth Industries. After all, Ronald Worth had shown no mercy when firing Rafe's parents without cause. Rafe refused to feel guilty for doling out justice in his dead mother's name.

No one, not even Sarah Richards, would distract him.

She stopped at his table, pad and pen in hand. "May I take your order, Mr. Cameron?"

"Of course, Miss Richards." He spun the stem of his empty crystal glass between two fingers. "Or wait, that should be Mrs. Dobbs."

"It's Richards again."

A tic started in the corner of his eye. Interesting that she would return to her maiden name after Quentin Dobbs's death. "Sarah Richards then."

"Uh," his stepbrother, Chase Larson, interjected, looking from one to the other, "good to see you again, Sarah, but if you two will excuse me for a minute, I have to make a call. Just put me down for the pasta primavera and iced tea." With a half smile, Chase checked out.

Leaving Rafe alone with her.

He nudged aside his crystal glass. "Good to see you again, Sarah."

"Oh, so you do remember me." Acrimony dripped from her every word. "Not that ...

An absolute treat
By Judy
Catherine Mann's delivers another sensational story in Acquired: The CEO's Small-Town Bride.

Sarah Richards loves her small town life in Vista del Mar. She enjoys her work as a waitress at the local Beach and Tennis club. Her town helped her heal after the death of her husband. Sarah will do anything to protect the slow and easy way of life there, even go up against a former ex.

Rafe Cameron could not get out of Vista del Mar fast enough after high school. Now he is back to get revenge on the man and his company that he feels took his mother's life. Rafe's first reconnection with Sarah certainly didn't go very well. Seems Sarah still has resentment for the way Rafe left her all those years ago. He hated leaving Sarah behind but after their last fight he thought their was no hope for them. Now he can't get Sarah out of his mind and wonders what might have been.

Sarah has an ulterior motive for getting close to Rafe. Sure their chemistry is still explosive as every but she wants to get Rafe to let go of his revenge plans for the company that supplies many jobs for the town.

As Rafe and Sarah spend more time together they both realize second chances should not be past up. Will one revelation about Rafe's family destroy it all a second time?

The CEO's Small-Town Bride is a very compelling and moving story. We all have what ifs in our life and would give anything to do it over. Sarah and Rafe both have issues to resolve that linger from the past. Watching them grow and work through them is a treat. Their chemistry snaps and sizzles on every page. You find your self routing for this couple to have it all.

Least Favorite of the Series
By The eBook Investigator
I want to begin by saying that I love Catherine Mann's writing but this one not so much. I will make this brief and skip my usual summary of the characters etc.

I did not care for Rafe and he was unrepentant. He did not deserve a second chance...at all...IMHO. Sorry, but I really disliked him. He did not earn his way back into her life. I wasn't all that thrilled with Sarah either but she was easier to take than Rafe. I did not find this read enjoyable as it was more frustrating than anything and I had to force myself to finish.

I went back to my Kindle because something was nagging at me. After doing a search there was not one single time in this book that Rafe apologized. No I'm sorry. No I was wrong. No I regret leaving without you. He left her brokenhearted because seeking his fortune was more important than being with her. That just so rubs me the wrong way. He was not a man, he was a coward. I simply cannot recommend this read as it left me angry, frustrated and upset.

Loved it but…
By #1Amazon Fan
I am a huge Catherine Mann fan. I realized after starting the book that it is actually part of a series with various authors however don't let it hold you back because I thought it definitely could stand on its own; however, it did make me want to go back and check out the other books. My only complaint was that throughout the story the character growth seemed one sided. The heroine came across as if she was perfect and the hero was the source of the problems. While she does have a moment of self realization at the end of the book, it seemed rushed and she never shared that understanding with the hero. Instead she let him shoulder all the blame. Overall it was a great read full of romance, laughter, and misunderstandings!

Michelle and her family rejoice when her father begins to regain consciousness after an unsuccessful suicide attempt. But a long journey awaits, as they seek to clear his name of the embezzlement charges that drove him to this desperate act. The days of their vigil at the hospital drag into weeks, and Michelle finds herself repeatedly drawn to the newborn nursery. Observing couples leave with tiny babes in their arms, her heart is stirred, and she begins to yearn for a child of her own. However, an unexpected twist will threaten her new dream.

Through the Tears - the second novel in the Sandy Cove series - delivers a message of hope in the midst of longing and disappointment.

Through the Tears will bless you again and again
By Amazon Customer
I had never heard of author Rosemary Hines until I saw the first book in the Sandy Cove Series, Out of a Dream, on Bookbub. After reading the description, I knew that I wanted to read it. I could not put it down and of course I bought the second book in the series, Through the Tears, the day I finished the first book.

The second book was just as amazing as the first.
Rosemary Hines tackles difficult subjects - suicide, disabilities, infertility, abortion, new age beliefs, and the fear of kidnapping - all in one novel. Through the Tears will bless you again and again.

As a Christian I have recently felt distant from GOD. I truly believe that these books were put in my path for a reason. The books have taken me to a place where I have begun to focus more on God and trust him in everyday situations.

I have now purchased book 3, Into Magnolia, of the series. Thank you GOD and Rosemary Hines for her talent as a writer.

Author missed the mark
By Lorene S
I enjoyed the theme of the first book - Out of a Dream, about a newly married couple and the beginning of their life together. I hoped that the second book would bring about some change that seemed to be the direction of the first in the series. Through the Tears (second in the series) was very disappointing. I thought that the Bible verses quoted were very appropriate and fit the theme of the book very well. The parts that bothered me so much were that Michelle, the main character, was fixated on having a baby. It seemed as if the Bible verses used were going to help the young couple deal with the issue of having a baby, but Michelle was so focused that she wasn't open to God's plan or her husband's feelings. The main issue of the book was infertility and abortion. I don't think the book dealt with those issues beyond the acknowledgments at the end of the book. I was very disappointed in the book and have little desire to read any more of the series. As I said, I liked the Bible verses used, they were very appropriate and added to the story. The story just never really took on the issues trying to be addressed. I think that the book could be a very good fiction story as well as addressing the spiritual. It just never got there.

A Sequel That Delivers
By Kindle Customer
The second of a series, Through The Tears more than holds its own as a sequel. The transition is smooth as the story progresses seamlessly. The characters remain interesting as their lives move through new challenges while dealing with remnants of challenges introduced in the first book. I found myself reading long into the night, unable to leave Michelle and her family. I found many thoughts and feelings of Michelle's to be very familiar. I believed them because I have experience them. Steve's reactions to their circumstances were valid and relatable. The struggles of marriage and parenthood can threaten the best of marriages, and getting ahead of God with our own solutions will surely make things more complicated and can do much harm. I found the book to be engrossing, enlightening, and very entertaining.

It's the pivotal fourth novel in the seven-part saga of a young wizard's coming of age. The thickest. The juiciest yet. Harry Potter turns fourteen. But will all his friends? Rumors have persisted that one of the characters may not see the conclusion of this novel, something the author has refused either to confirm or deny.

No one's fate is certain when Volde -- excuse me -- He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is part of the picture.

Amazon.com Review
In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, J.K. Rowling offers up equal parts danger and delight--and any number of dragons, house-elves, and death-defying challenges. Now 14, her orphan hero has only two more weeks with his Muggle relatives before returning to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Yet one night a vision harrowing enough to make his lightning-bolt-shaped scar burn has Harry on edge and contacting his godfather-in-hiding, Sirius Black. Happily, the prospect of attending the season's premier sporting event, the Quidditch World Cup, is enough to make Harry momentarily forget that Lord Voldemort and his sinister familiars--the Death Eaters--are out for murder.

Readers, we will cast a giant invisibility cloak over any more plot and reveal only that You-Know-Who is very much after Harry and that this year there will be no Quidditch matches between Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. Instead, Hogwarts will vie with two other magicians' schools, the stylish Beauxbatons and the icy Durmstrang, in a Triwizard Tournament. Those chosen to compete will undergo three supreme tests. Could Harry be one of the lucky contenders?

But Quidditch buffs need not go into mourning: we get our share of this great game at the World Cup. Attempting to go incognito as Muggles, 100,000 witches and wizards converge on a "nice deserted moor." As ever, Rowling magicks up the details that make her world so vivid, and so comic. Several spectators' tents, for instance, are entirely unquotidian. One is a minipalace, complete with live peacocks; another has three floors and multiple turrets. And the sports paraphernalia on offer includes rosettes "squealing the names of the players" as well as "tiny models of Firebolts that really flew, and collectible figures of famous players, which strolled across the palm of your hand, preening themselves." Needless to say, the two teams are decidedly different, down to their mascots. Bulgaria is supported by the beautiful veela, who instantly enchant everyone--including Ireland's supporters--over to their side. Until, that is, thousands of tiny cheerleaders engage in some pyrotechnics of their own: "The leprechauns had risen into the air again, and this time, they formed a giant hand, which was making a very rude sign indeed at the veela across the field."

Long before her fourth installment appeared, Rowling warned that it would be darker, and it's true that every exhilaration is equaled by a moment that has us fearing for Harry's life, the book's emotions running as deep as its dangers. Along the way, though, she conjures up such new characters as Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody, a Dark Wizard catcher who may or may not be getting paranoid in his old age, and Rita Skeeter, who beetles around Hogwarts in search of stories. (This Daily Prophet scoop artist has a Quick-Quotes Quill that turns even the most innocent assertion into tabloid innuendo.) And at her bedazzling close, Rowling leaves several plot strands open, awaiting book 5. This fan is ready to wager that the author herself is part veela--her pen her wand, her commitment to her world complete. (Ages 9 and older) --Kerry Fried

From Publishers Weekly
Even without the unprecedented media attention and popularity her magical series has attracted, it would seem too much to hope that Rowling could sustain the brilliance and wit of her first three novels. Astonishingly, Rowling seems to have the spell-casting powers she assigns her characters: this fourth volume might be her most thrilling yet. The novel opens as a confused Muggle overhears Lord Voldemort and his henchman, Wormtail (the escapee from book three, Azkaban) discussing a murder and plotting more deaths (and invoking Harry Potter's name); clues suggest that Voldemort and Wormtail's location will prove highly significant. From here it takes a while (perhaps slightly too long a while) for Harry and his friends to get back to the Hogwarts school, where Rowling is on surest footing. Headmaster Dumbledore appalls everyone by declaring that Quidditch competition has been canceled for the year; then he makes the exciting announcement that the Triwizard Tournament is to be held after a cessation of many hundred years (it was discontinued, he explains, because the death toll mounted so high). One representative from each of the three largest wizardry schools of Europe (sinister Durmstrang, luxurious Beauxbatons and Hogwarts) are to be chosen by the Goblet of Fire; because of the mortal dangers, Dumbledore casts a spell that allows only students who are at least 17 to drop their names into the Goblet. Thus no one foresees that the Goblet will announce a fourth candidate: Harry. Who has put his name into the Goblet, and how is his participation in the tournament linked, as it surely must be, to Voldemort's newest plot? The details are as ingenious and original as ever, and somehow (for catching readers off-guard must certainly get more difficult with each successive volume) Rowling plants the red herrings, the artful clues and tricky surprises that disarm the most attentive audience. A climax even more spectacular than that of Azkaban will leave readers breathless. The muscle-building heft of this volume notwithstanding, the clamor for book five will begin as soon as readers finish installment four. All ages. (July)

From School Library Journal
Grade 4 Up-Harry is now 14 years old and in his fourth year at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where big changes are afoot. This year, instead of the usual Inter-House Quidditch Cup, a Triwizard Tournament will be held, during which three champions, one from each of three schools of wizardry (Hogwarts, Durmstrang, and Beaux-batons), must complete three challenging magical tasks. The competitors must be at least 17 years old, but the Goblet of Fire that determines the champions mysteriously produces Harry's name, so he becomes an unwilling fourth contestant. Meanwhile, it is obvious to the boy's allies that the evil Voldemort will use the Tournament to get at Harry. This hefty volume is brimming with all of the imagination, humor, and suspense that characterized the first books. So many characters, both new and familiar, are so busily scheming, spying, studying, worrying, fulminating, and suffering from unrequited first love that it is a wonder that Rowling can keep track, much less control, of all the plot lines. She does, though, balancing humor, malevolence, school-day tedium, and shocking revelations with the aplomb of a circus performer. The Triwizard Tournament itself is a bit of a letdown, since Harry is able, with a little help from his friends and even enemies, to perform the tasks easily. This fourth installment, with its deaths, a sinister ending, and an older and more shaken protagonist, surely marks the beginning of a very exciting and serious battle between the forces of light and dark, and Harry's fans will be right there with him.

A Phenomenal Book
By A Customer
J.K. Rowling has done it again! Her first three installments in the Harry Potter series were outstanding, she has outdone herself once more with the Goblet of Fire . I am only 13, but I know a remarkable book when I see one. The way Miss Rowling began the book was very intriguing. Harry Potter and his friends are introduced to situations that children around the world face everyday, with magic and fantasy added. Quite frankly you know you are reading an excellent book when you can't put it down until 2 a.m., which is common for Harry Potter enthusiasts such as myself. You get to both love and despise the characters in the book. You cannot expect things to happen in the Harry Potter series because of how shifting the topics are. At the end of each chapter you want to read on. Unexpected happenings pop-up all over the book. In my opinion the Harry Potter books have terrific characters, plots, and they are filled with the imagination of a child, which makes the Harry Potter series so unique.

By Daniel Lyle
I wasn't caught up in the initial hype over this series, but after seeing several of my kids and wife immensely enjoy these books I began to think maybe I should read them myself. After having attended numerous Harry Potter themed parties from such occasions as a nearby city museum's Halloween party themed around Harry Potter to a surprise birthday party for a daughter, Harry Potter has been a fun theme that has brought fun and joy to numerous social occasions with my family and friends. I finally began reading the Harry potter book series and find them as enjoyable as many of my favorite books from childhood like the chronicles of Narnia or the castle of Llyr. Thanks mrs Rowling for bringing such joy to me and my family and providing an excuse for a great theme to build memories around!

Do not buy Kindle version - defective
By Saly
The Kindle version is defective as some reviewers wrote (I wish I had read them before I purchased), on an iPad with Kindle app in my case. When reading with the device held in landspace (side ways) position, the last sentence on the first column repeats at the beginning of the second column on every page. Additionally, sections of certain sentences are missing randomly. Oddly, this problem seems to go away when the device is held in portrait orientation.

I chatted with Amazon tech support, but after trying several fixes nothing helped and they are giving me a credit for the purchase. They also told me that this version will not be available for purchase until the problem is fixed, but I still see it listed for purchase. So, buyers beware.

Birthday Letters, by Ted Hughes

Ted Hughes's Birthday Letters are addressed, with just two exceptions, to Sylvia Plath, the American poet to whom he was married. They were written over a period of more than twenty-five years, the first a few years after her suicide in 1963, and represent Ted Hughes's only account of his relationship with Plath and of the psychological drama that led both to the writing of her greatest poems and to her death. The book became an instant bestseller on its publication in 1998 and won the Forward Prize for Poetry in the same year.

Amazon.com Review
Ted Hughes's Birthday Letters--88 tantalizing responses to Sylvia Plath and the furies she left behind--emerge from an echo chamber of art and memory, rage and representation. In the decades following his wife's 1963 suicide, Hughes kept silent, a stance many have seen as guilty, few as dignified. While an industry grew out of Plath's life and art, and even her afterlife, he continued to compose his own dark, unconfessional verses, and edited her Collected Poems, Letters Home: Correspondence 1950-1963, and Journals. But Hughes's conservancy (and his sister Olwyn's power as Plath's executrix) laid him open to yet more blame. Biographers and critics found his cuts to her letters self-interested, and decried his destruction of the journals of her final years--undertaken, he insisted, for the sake of their children.

In Birthday Letters we now have Hughes's response to Plath's white-hot mythologizing. Lost happiness intensifies present pain, but so does old despair: "Your ghost," he acknowledges, "inseparable from my shadow." Ranging from accessible short-story-like verses to tightly wound, allusive lyrics, the poems push forward from initial encounters to key moments long after Plath's death. In "Visit," he writes, "I look up--as if to meet your voice / With all its urgent future / that has burst in on me. Then look back / At the book of the printed words. / You are ten years dead. It is only a story. / Your story. My story." These poems are filled with conditionals and might-have-beens, Hughes never letting us forget forces in motion before their seven-year marriage and final separation. When he first sees Plath, she is both scarred (from her earlier suicide attempt) and radiant: "Your eyes / Squeezed in your face, a crush of diamonds, / Incredibly bright, bright as a crush of tears..." But Fate and Plath's father, Otto, will not let them be. In the very next poem, "The Shot," her trajectory is already plotted. Though Hughes is her victim, her real target is her dead father--"the god with the smoking gun."

Of course, "The Shot" and the accusatory "The Dogs Are Eating Your Mother" are an incitement to those who side (as if there is a side!) with Plath. Newsweek has already chalked up the reaction of poet and feminist Robin Morgan to the book: "My teeth began to grind uncontrollably." But Hughes makes it clear that his poems are written for his dead wife and living children, not her acolytes' bloodsport. He has also, of course, written them for himself and the reader. Pieces such as "Epiphany," "The 59th Bear," and "Life After Death" are masterful mixes of memory and image. In "Epiphany," for instance, the young Hughes, walking in London, suddenly spots a man carrying a fox inside his jacket. Offered the cub for a pound, he hesitates, knowing he and Plath couldn't handle the animal--not with a new baby, not in the city. But in an instant, his potent vision extends beyond the animal, perhaps to his and Plath's children: Already past the kittenish
But the eyes still small,
Round, orphaned-looking, woebegone
As if with weeping. Bereft
Of the blue milk, the toys of feather and fur,
The den life's happy dark. And the huge whisper
Of the constellations
Out of which Mother had always returned. Other poems are more influenced by Plath's "terrible, hypersensitive fingers," including "The Bee God" and "Dreamers," which is apparently a record of Plath's one encounter with Hughes's mistress: "She fascinated you. Her eyes caressed you, / Melted a weeping glitter at you. / Her German the dark undercurrent / In her Kensington jeweller's elocution / Was your ancestral Black Forest whisper--" This exotic woman, "slightly filthy with erotic mystery," seems a close relation to Plath's own Lady Lazarus, and the poem would be equally powerful without any biographical information. This is the one paradoxical pity of this superb collection. These poems require no prior knowledge--but for better or worse, we possess it.

From Publishers Weekly
Kept under tight wraps by the terms attached to a high-priced serialization in the London Times as well as by Hughes's notorious secrecy, the British Poet Laureate's collection of verse-letters to Sylvia Plath is already being heralded as one of the century's literary landmarks. The legend that has grown up around Plath, her poems, her life with Hughes and her suicide in 1963 has been tended by several generations of devoted scholars and readers, and made all the more insurmountable by Hughes's silence on anything relating to Plath other than her work. It is thus astonishing to have this near-narrative of the entire span of their relationship, from Hughes's first glimpse of Plath in a photo of arriving Fulbright scholars, to Hughes's anguish, until now an emotion not widely credited to him, since her death. At once the record of a Yorkshireman's collision with America and American-ness ("You stayed/ Alien to me as a window model,/ American, airport-hopping superproduct") and of a baffled husband's jealousy and despair at his wife's obsessive pursuit of her dead father, the poems arc through the poet's struggles?and joy?with the facts of his younger self's married life. Even tender recollections, such as Plath reciting Chaucer to a field of cows, are tinged with foreboding or, elsewhere, with the intensity of their writing lives: "The poems, like smoking entrails,/ Came soft into your hands." Throughout, Hughes's muscular, controlled free verse, familiar from his previous collections and recent Tales from Ovid, is well suited to the task of wrestling his memory of Plath back to earth, vividly rendering their past while allowing space for a present reckoning. Hughes's occasional snipes at the Plath faithful ("And now your peanut-crunchers can stare/ At the ink stains.../ Where you engraved your letters...") may lead some to accuse him of an elaborate attempt at revisionism, at remaking Plath in his own image. But the strength of the poems simply renders the charge moot, compelling us to accept this masterwork's sincerity, depth of feeling and force of language.

From Library Journal
A distinguished poet, essayist, and translator who serves as poet laureate of England, Hughes is probably still best known as the husband of Sylvia Plath. Since her suicide in 1963, he has resolutely refused to speak about her, and he has been accused of abandoning her and driving her to her death. Now, for the first time, he discusses their relationship?most appropriately in verse. Though he describes himself and Plath as "Siamese-twinned, each of us festering/ a soul-sepsis for the other," this is not a book of wrenching revelations or vigorously mounted defense; it is, rather, a painful and painstaking exploration of just what went wrong in the poets' relationship 35 years ago. In his sometimes deceptively accessible verse, Hughes moves from initial encounter?like "the first fresh peach I ever tasted"?through courtship, marriage, death, and regret ("Who will remember your fingers?/ Their winged life"); throughout, these aptly named "letters"?written mostly in the second-person to Plath?are filled with foreboding. In the end, Hughes comes across as neither victimizer nor victim but as an ordinary human being too dazed?or too dense??to recognize the lightning bolt that passed through his life. Essential for all literary collections.?Barbara Hoffert, "Library Journal"

Intimate and Powerful
By Brooke Summerlin
Readers familiar with the dynamic, forceful romance of Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath will find rich reading in Birthday Letters. This collection of poems about his relationship and marriage to Plath is deeply personal and filled with intimate references to events in the lives of both Hughes and Plath. While the poems are beautiful and well-written in and of themselves, they are illuminated to a new degree with an anecdotal knowledge of the biographies of the authors.

In order to appreciate these poems, I highly recommend reading about the lives of Hughes and Plath before going through Birthday Letters. I read this book in a poetry course in college, and my professor made the poems come alive by educating our class on how Hughes and Plath met, the trauma of losing her father at an early age, her lifelong struggle for mental health, and her unfortunate death. Hughes incorporates all of these in his poems with beautiful symbolism and metaphor. Easily, this is my favorite book of poetry ever.

Two Sides to Every Story
By Jeff Abell
For anyone who has spent much time with Sylvia Plath's work, the power of her own voice overwhelms any sense of objectivity about her subject matter. It's not accidental that she began to insist that the poems were best heard out loud, in her voice, because it is precisely the strength of her highly personal use of language that comes through so forcefully. This has seemingly left little room for debate, and many of those who have written about Plath's work have simply added a kind of cheer of support ("You go, girl!") to that voice. But there are two sides to every story, and Ted Hughes "Birthday Letters" is extremely moving in what it reveals about what it was like to live with a "genius" who also happened to have a history of mental breakdowns. At times, Hughes poems closely reference Plath's, often to very telling effect. For example, Plath's poem "The Rabbit Catcher," which describes her sense of identification with the hunted, and has her pulling up rabbit traps that she finds, protecting the poor bunnies from the evil hunters. Hughes remembers that day differently, watching his wife screaming, as she ripped up the wire traps that provided a little free nourishment to local poor farmers, undoing what to him was generations of history. Until the publication of this book, we've only had Plath's take on the events of her marriage, and these poems provide a much needed sense of how very difficult it must have been living with someone as internally tortured and emotionally volatile as Plath. A few of Hughes' poems are a little bit over the top (especially "The Dogs Are Eating Your Mother"), but the defensiveness is very much in the background. One senses instead how emotionally charred Hughes has been since Plath's suicide, how he has continued to reflect on the details of their relationship, searching for answers to the inevitable question of why that accompanies any self-inflicted death. A good counter-balance to Hughes' poems is the book "The Silent Woman," which outlines the history of how Hughes and his sister Olwyn have handled the Plath estate; you'll better understand why some feminist critics think these poems are too little too late. For the average lover of poetry, however, you'll be grateful for the insights Hughes provides, and you'll also be moved by the beauty of his language. After all, apparently a major part of Plath's attraction to him was that he was such a good poet.

Life Changer
By Kali Cowan
This is my favorite book of Ted Hughes',and tragically, his last. This is the book that opened me to the world of actually reading poetry. I always wrote it, but never before could name a poet that I loved. This guy introduced me to Sylvia Plath, and I am forever grateful how he changed my world.

Finally a go-to guide to creating and publishing the kind of content that will make your business thrive.

Everybody Writes is a go-to guide to attracting and retaining customers through stellar online communication, because in our content-driven world, every one of us is, in fact, a writer.

If you have a web site, you are a publisher. If you are on social media, you are in marketing. And that means that we are all relying on our words to carry our marketing messages. We are all writers.

Yeah, but who cares about writing anymore? In a time-challenged world dominated by short and snappy, by click-bait headlines and Twitter streams and Instagram feeds and gifs and video and Snapchat and YOLO and LOL and #tbt... does the idea of focusing on writing seem pedantic and ordinary?

Actually, writing matters more now, not less. Our online words are our currency; they tell our customers who we are.

Our writing can make us look smart or it can make us look stupid. It can make us seem fun, or warm, or competent, or trustworthy. But it can also make us seem humdrum or discombobulated or flat-out boring.

That means you've got to choose words well, and write with economy and the style and honest empathy for your customers. And it means you put a new value on an often-overlooked skill in content marketing: How to write, and how to tell a true story really, really well.

And so being able to communicate well in writing isn't just nice; it's necessity. And it's also the oft-overlooked cornerstone of nearly all our content marketing.

In Everybody Writes, top marketing veteran Ann Handley gives expert guidance and insight into the process and strategy of content creation, production and publishing, with actionable how-to advice designed to get results.

These lessons and rules apply across all of your online assets―like web pages, home page, landing pages, blogs, email, marketing offers, and on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other social media. Ann deconstructs the strategy and delivers a practical approach to create ridiculously compelling and competent content. It's designed to be the go-to guide for anyone creating or publishing any kind of online content―whether you're a big brand or you're small and solo.

Sections include:

• How to write better. (Or, for "adult-onset writers": How to hate writing less.)

From the Inside Flap

If you have a website, you are a publisher. If you are on social media, you are in marketing. And that means that we are all relying on our words to carry our marketing messages. We are all writers.

Everybody Writes is your go-to guide to attracting and retaining customers through stellar online communication, because in our content-driven world, every one of us is a writer.

Yeah, but who cares about writing anymore? In a time-challenged world dominated by short and snappy, by click-bait headlines and Twitter streams and Instagram feeds and gifs and video and Snapchat and YOLO and LOL and #tbt … does the idea of focusing on writing seem pedantic and ordinary?

Actually, writing matters more now, not less. Our online words are our emissaries; they tell our customers who we are.

Our writing can make us look smart or it can make us look stupid. It can make us seem fun, or warm, or competent, or trustworthy. But it can also make us seem humdrum or discombobulated or flat-out boring. That’s true whether you’re writing a listicle or the words on a SlideShare deck or the words you’re reading right here, right now…

So you’ve got to choose words well—and write with economy and style and honest empathy for your customers. And that means you have to put a higher value on an often overlooked skill in content marketing: how to write, and how to tell a true story really, really well.

Being able to communicate well in writing isn’t just nice; it’s necessary. And it’s also the often overlooked cornerstone of nearly all our content marketing.

In Everybody Writes, top marketing veteran Ann Handley gives expert guidance and insight into the process and strategy of content creation, production, and publishing with practical how-to advice designed to get results.

These lessons and rules she lays out apply to all of your online content—your Web pages, home pages, landing pages, blogs, emails, marketing offers, and to your posts and updates on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other social media.

Everybody Writes is designed to be your go-to guide for creating or publishing any kind of online content—whether you’re working for a big brand or a small business… or yourself.

From the Back Cover
PRAISE FOR EVERYBODY WRITES

“Throw the others away because this is the only guide you need to elevate your content to the level of awesomeness! With wisdom and an infective wittiness, Ann shows you how to take your writing from awkward or awful to electric or elegant. She’s your favorite teacher, cracking you up while her tough love gets you to do the work to improve. Even though I’ve written 10 books, I still learned a great deal in these pages and now I’m eager to flex my newfound content creation muscles.”
—David Meerman Scott, best-selling author of The New Rules of Marketing and PR

“The alternate click-bait title of Ann’s great new book could have been 73 Ways to Improve Your Writing and Conquer the World! …and it would have been an understatement. We’re all publishers now, and the better writers connect, persuade, and win. Be one of them with this book.”
—Brian Clark, Founder and CEO, Copyblogger Media

“All your shiny new channels, properties, and platforms are a waste of space without smart, useful content. Ann Handley’s new book helps make every bit of content count—for your customers and your bottom line.”
—Kristina Halvorson, President, Brain Traffic

“I just glanced at the table of contents and I’m already a better writer. Ann Handley might just single-handedly save the world from content mediocrity. Really, really ridiculously good-looking content just got an owner’s manual.”
—Jason Miller, Senior Content Marketing Manager, LinkedIn

“Let’s face it, writing is not optional for today’s marketer. Ann’s witty take on what works and what doesn’t will help you master business writing and—more importantly—have fun while you’re doing it!”
—Ardath Albee, B2B Marketing Strategist and Author, eMarketing Strategies for the Complex Sale and Digital Relevance (coming in 2015)

“Useful to the extreme, Everybody Writes is the first must-read book on the subject since Stephen King’s On Writing. Bursting with ways to improve your short and long-form content, it’s too good to be skimmed. This book should be included with every keyboard sold, like a combo pack of communication clarity. You’ll be a better writer by page 15. By the end of this book, you’re thinking about giving Steinbeck a run for his money. I passionately recommend Everybody Writes.”
—Jay Baer, President, Convince & Convert, and Author, Youtility

“Finally, a sensible writing guide for a digital age! Everybody Writes is a unique blend of how-to-write rules and what-to-write revelations. Whether you are overhauling your everyday communication or sitting down to write a book, Ann Handley’s irreverent style and inspirational wisdom will transform the way you write. Move over Strunk & White, Everybody Writes is the creative resource for a new generation.”
—Andrew M. Davis, Author, Brandscaping

Ridiculously valuable reference for the marketing writer with lots of specific "how to" guidance
By PG Bartlett
Writing has been my job and passion for twenty-five years, but I needed some "how to" advice that the author promised in her introduction: "... part writing guide, part handbook on the rules of good sportsmanship in content marketing, and all-around reliable desk companion for anyone creating or directing content on behalf of brands." She delivers everything she promised and more.

I found the author's style to be entertaining and insightful as well as practical. One mere example among hundreds is her formula for judging the impact of your writing: "Utility × Inspiration × Empathy = Quality Content." Her point: you have to perform well in all three areas; if you score a zero for any one of these factors... well, you can do the math.

Part I reviews much of what I already knew about the process of writing. She covers not only the key steps in the writing process, but also offers detailed insights into refining and improving your copy. Part I contains great advice for people who don't know how to approach the task of writing, and it's laid out in a way that's easy to understand and remember.

Part II, about grammar and usage, offers lots of "Do this" and "Don't do that" advice. If you're a good writer already, then you'll find this section a refreshing, funny reminder about all the ways that we can go wrong with words. But if you're not as good a writer as you'd like to be, you'll learn a lot about giving your language more impact and power.

Part III is the briefest section, but with some powerful advice about crafting a great story.

Part IV contains lots of practical advice about what to write and how to write it. You'll find lots of detailed suggestions, such as how to properly cite others' work within your own. I particularly liked her chapter entitled, "See Content Moments Everywhere," which will open your eyes to the opportunities all around you for interesting stories that will help your brand punch above its weight. (And that's just one example of 15 subjects she covers in this section.)

But Part V – wow! It alone was worth ten times the price of the book. She gives point-by-point guidance for 13 different types of content that marketers create, such as blog posts, tweets, emails, headlines, home pages, infographics, and more. Nearly every marketer will learn something on every page of this section, no matter how experienced you are. I expect to return to this section again and again.

Part VI concludes with a list of pointers to various types of tools and resources that writers will certainly find useful.

With so many wonderful resources available to marketing writers today, especially content marketers, it takes a lot to stand out above the crowd. But in Ann Handley's "Every Writes," she delivers one of the most useful pieces I've seen.

A great resource that is easily accessible and will be often referenced. You will see results.
By Ryan J. Dejonghe
Content, we know you are king, but it is time to meet your queen: Ann Handley. From small blogs to mammoth corporations, Ann Handley has reigned them all. With her eye for empathetic material that is easy to understand and implement, she is justified in her sovereignty.

Handley's latest book, EVERYBODY WRITES, continues her double-decade trend of sharing techniques to cut the mush and filler and create what your reading clientele yearns to see: an attractive and informative message. The book has everyone's favorite--short chapters!--that are organized in an accessible manner: how to write better; grammar rules; story rules; publishing rules; things marketers write; and, content tools.

Note from that list: writing better and grammar are two different things. Both are helpful; both stand alone. One of Handley's most helpful pieces from the section "how to write better" is her writing GPS. She refers to it and expounds upon it throughout the book. In a nutshell, here it is:

1. Goal--what is it?
2. Reframe for the reader
3. Seek data and examples
4. Organize
5. Write to one person
6. Produce the Ugly First Draft (TUFD)
7. Walk away
8. Rewrite
9. Give a great headline or title
10. Have someone edit
11. One final look for readability
12. Give the reader a "what now"

As for grammar, Handley explores shibboleths such as avoiding franken-words and the shaming of adverbs (thumbs up for the numerous Steven King ON WRITING quotes). On one hand it is unfortunate that content creators have to be told the difference between "its" and "it's"; on the other hand it is unfortunate Handley says, "I'd say don't worry about it" about the differences between "that" and "which". If you are looking for syntax instruction, I'd say read Steven Pinker's upcoming book THE SENSE OF STYLE.

Grab this book for one thing: creating better content. That's where Handley shines and that's what most of EVERYBODY WRITES is about. She explains it with this formula: Utility x Inspiration x Empathy = Quality Content. For a math refresher, if any variable equals zero, the final product is zilch. You need utility! You need inspiration! You need empathy! Ann Handley teaches you how to achieve all three.

EVERYBODY WRITES is a great resource that is easily accessible and will be often referenced. You will see results.

Thanks to the kind folks at Wiley for sending this to me for review.

4 Reasons to Buy Everybody Writes
By Alexandra Barca
Here are four reasons why anyone who creates content on behalf of a brand — from the CEO to a blog writer — should keep a copy of Everybody Writes at their desk.

1. All of the answers. All in one place.
A day in the life of a content creator is full of questions. Do I capitalize this? Is this active voice? How long should this subject line be? What should I title this post? Will this appeal to my audience? As a content creator myself, sometimes I Google the answers to these questions or scour the Internet for best practices. Other times, I ask the questions aloud, hoping someone sitting nearby might be the definitive source on well…everything. (Kudos to my colleagues who always try their best to answer my questions, especially the software engineers, who, I’m sure, are largely uninterested). Enter Everybody Writes — a book that really does have all the answers. Problems with grammar? Check Chapter 37. Wondering what the ideal length for a blog post is? Chapter 60. There’s even a full list of words to avoid because they simply aren’t real. (Spoiler alert: contrary to popular belief, “amazeballs” is not a real word.)

2. Learning doesn’t have to be boring
We’ve all taken a course in writing at one time or another — whether it was freshman composition in high school or an advanced business writing class in college. This means we’ve seen the basic writing textbook, packed with rules about paragraphs, grammar, spelling, tone of voice, style etc.
Although useful, these books are boring. Everybody Writes has the same utility as these textbooks, but is far from boring. At times, it’s even laugh-out-loud funny. One of my favorite lines in the book comes when Ann applies the phrase “You can’t rush art” to the writing process:

“But forget that mantra. Because at some point, you do have to rush your own art. Otherwise, your art sits on its butt on the couch eating chips and salsa.”

Later, she urges content creators to establish a voice for their brand, or as she puts it, “an expression of your company’s personality and point of view.” She lists examples of brands with unique voices such as Wistia and Burger King. However, it’s clear that one of the most unique voices to draw inspiration from is Ann’s.

3. A humanizing look at content curation
Ann offers up some great advice on how to make the often-automated process more personal. She urges readers to add context, commentary and a human element to each curated piece. This is valuable guidance for many content marketers who tend to curate content without adding any value for the reader.

4. Inspiration
For almost every tip or fact that Ann provides, she also includes a specific example of how this tactic worked (or didn’t work) for a well-known brand.
