ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 27,2024

“Ollie, I’m afraid I’m going to have to ask you not to scream.”

HER

We met by chance at a random dive bar.
Him – a striking figure in a tailored suit who radiates dominance.
Me – an awkward introvert, innocently stalking my father.

He seduced me.
Worshipped me.
Then, in a blink, he vanished, leaving no trace—not even a name or number.

HIM

I wasn’t supposed to see her again.
We were never meant to meet in the first place.
But here we are:
Her – half asleep after passing out at work.
Me – caught sneaking into her family business in the middle of the night.

She has no clue who I am—that I’ve just settled into a ruthless birthright position within the Italian mafia. Or that her family legacy plays a role in my illegal activities. But I have a feeling the dead body at my feet might bring her up to speed.

REVIEW: REMY by Eden Summers is a contemporary, adult, dark, Mafia romance story line and the tenth book in the author’s HUNTING HER world. This is Remington ‘Remy’ Costa, and Olivia ‘Ollie’ Pelosi’s story line. REMY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Remy is Abri’s brother (BISHOP #9).

NOTE : Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Remy and Ollie) REMY follows in the aftermath of something Olivia Pelosi was never meant to see. Olivia aka Ollie works for her father’s funeral home, doing the make-up for the recently deceased but a late night at work ended with Olivia coming face to face with her future, in the guise of  Mafia man Remy Costa, the man with whom Olivia would fall in love. Remy’s appearance at the funeral home meant something else was going on, and another interruption revealed the truth when Olivia confronted her father about the who, how and why. As Remy’s late night excursions to the funeral home were becoming more frequent, Olivia would find herself caught up with the Mafia, and the darker side of the criminal underworld. What ensues is the building but tempestuous relationship between Ollie and Remy, and the potential fall-out as the man in charge threatens to permanently push Olivia out of Remy’s life.

The world building follows several intersecting paths. The Costa family is currently at war with the Mexican cartel, and Remy has declared himself the ultimate cleaner, involving the Pelosi family at the heart of their funeral business. Not only has the Mexican cartel taken aim, but the Irish Mob is not targeting our story line hero.

The relationship between Ollie and Remy begins acrimoniously when Ollie discovers the truth about Remy’s late night visits to the funeral home, visits that threaten the business if the truth is revealed. Needing to keep an eye on Ollie, as well as protecting the woman with whom he will fall in love, Remy finds himself guardian and protector of the woman who could destroy it all. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

Bishop and Remy’s sister Abri return for a cameo appearance as well as his brothers Matthew & Layla Langston (Seeking Vengeance / Ruthless Redemption/Hunting Her 7 & 8), Salvatore, and uncle Lorenzo. We are introduced to Olivia’s father Carlo Pelosi, and her co-workers/friends Ivy and Skylar. The requisite evil has many faces.

REMY is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, family and relationships, forgiveness, acceptance, loss and love. The premise is dramatic and intriguing; the romance is seductive; the characters are determined and dynamic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 7, 2023

In a moment of weakness I sent out a cry for help—one that was answered by my estranged brother’s right-hand man.
A murderer.
A butcher.
He storms into my life with his expensive suit pockets full of sedatives and cable ties in case I don’t approve of his form of protection.
Let me assure you, I don’t.
But when my world falls apart and I have nowhere else to go, I’m forced to escape with him.
To an isolated house.
Just me and him.
Alone.
And it quickly becomes clear that the monstrous people I’ve been afraid of are nothing in comparison to the man in the room next door to mine.

REVIEW:BISHOP is the ninth instalment in Eden Summers contemporary, adult HUNTING HER dark, erotic, Mafia romance series. This is Bishop aka The Butcher, and Abri Costa’s story line. BISHOP can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Bishop and Abri) BISHOP follows the building but acrimonious relationship between Bishop and Abri. Bishop is the right hand man to Abri’s eldest brother Matthew Langston, and collectively the pair were once known as the Butchers of Baltimore but Matthew and his brothers are about to embark on a mission of murder and vengeance, and Bishop has been tasked with protecting our story line heroine, a protection of which Abri wants nothing to do. Abri Costa has been forcibly working for her parents Emmanuel and Adena for as long as she can remember, and this night, Bishop is about to curtail and effectively stop all of Abri’s assignments including the one in progress but Abri is desperate to complete her mission, a desperation that Bishop finds disturbing and wrong. Keeping Abri a virtual prisoner means learning the truth about a woman who is spiralling out of control but a woman desperate enough to risk her own life for the lives of the people she loves. What ensues is the building but tempestuous relationship between Abri and Bishop, and the potential fall-out as their time together has an expiry date, and Bishop walks away without looking back.

The world building continues to focus on the crime world of the Langston/Costa family. Matthew, and his brothers Remy and Salvator have implemented a plan to take down the man in charge in doing so, Abri’s inability to get the job one threatens someone close to her heart.

The relationship between Abri and Bishop begins as an assignment. Abri refuses to remain Bishop captive but Bishop suspects there is more to Abri’s story than he could have ever imagined. Bishop struggles to remain neutral in the face of his attraction to Abri but the heart wants something it shouldn’t. Giving into temptation not only threatens Bishop but our heroine as well. Threats against Abri means Bishop will take matters into his own hand, continually earning our hero the moniker of The Butcher. The $ex scenes are passionate and aggressive but I dislike the use of a certain four-letter word.

The secondary and supporting characters are dangerous, powerful and psychopathic in nature including Abri’s mother Adena, a mother with questionable parenting skills, as well as her mother’s driver Aaron Geppte. We are reintroduced to Abri’s Uncle Lorenzo, brothers Matthew & Layla Langston (Seeking Vengeance / Ruthless Redemption/Hunting Her 7 & 8), Salvatore and Remy Costa. The requisite evil has many evils.

BISHOP is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, murder and blackmail, dysfunctional family and relationships, acceptance, forgiveness and love. The character driven premise is gritty, complex, detailed and heart breaking; the romance is emotional and intense; the characters are broken, captivating, determined and desperate.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 16, 2023

One bed. Two best friends. Three nights playing pretend.

When I agreed to let Rome be my fake boyfriend on a work trip, I didn’t think acting like a couple would be that complicated.

He’d flash his killer smile at my colleagues.
Impress them with his charm.
While keeping my toxic ex at bay.

But that’s not the reality I’m currently drowning in.

From the moment we arrive at the resort Rome’s hands are all over me.
His whispered words in my ear more scandalously filthy than sweet.

He’s acting like a lust-drunk fool who’s dying for a taste and I can’t stop blushing… Or panicking… Because there’s only one bed in our hotel room and Rome Cavanaugh wouldn’t know how to sleep in anything other than his birthday suit.

••••••

REVIEW: PLAYING PRETEND by Eden Summers is a stand alone, contemporary, adult, erotic, romance story line focusing on real estate investor thirty-one year old Rome Cavanaugh, and real estate agent twenty-five year old Piper Sheffield.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Rome and Piper) PLAYING PRETEND follows the best friend to lovers relationship between thirty-one year old Rome Cavanaugh, and twenty-five year old Piper Sheffield. Piper and Rome, along with Piper’s brother Rett have been best friends all of their lives but business weekend for work finds Piper needing a plus one, and her brother volunteers Rome to be Piper’s significant other, a fake relationship to keep Piper’s ex-boyfriend at bay. Piper’s ex refuses to take no for an answer, and he is expected to be present for the three day event. As Piper and Rome prepare for their trip to Laguna Beach, Rome hopes for the possibility of something more than pretend, while Piper struggles with other people’s perceptions but all does not go according to plan as Piper battles between head and heart, eventually pushing her best friend out of her life. What ensues is the building but fractured romance and relationship between Piper and Rome, and the fall-out as Rome refuses to fight for a woman who doesn’t know what she wants.

Piper has always wanted to work with her brother and Rome at their co-owned Cavanaugh Sheffield Holdings, and to survive a weekend with Rome means she can survive working with the man that has stolen her heart but Piper has to prove she has got what is takes knowing there are other people hoping to tear her down.

The relationship between Rome and Piper is a best friends to lovers in the face of protecting our story line heroine. Piper’s ex has been hassling our heroine, quickly moving to stalker, and Rome is desperate to protect the woman he loves but Piper’s fear of losing Rome in the face of destroying their friendship works in reverse, destroying Rome’s heart in the process. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Piper’s brother Everett ‘Rett’ Sheffield, as well as her ex boyfriend Julian, and several co-workers including friend Cassidy. Rett’s story line is next.

PLAYING PRETEND is a story of family and friendships, relationships and love. A best friends to frenemies to lovers affair in which Piper struggles with the potential of permanently losing the closeness they once held. The fast paced premise is captivating and spirited; the romance is awkward and sensitive ; the characters are quirky, sassy and dynamic but I struggled a little bit with Piper’s attitude, leaving this reader a little anxious throughout most of the story.

RECKLESS SIN
Reckless Beat Novella
by Eden Summers
Genre: adult, contemporary, erotic, rock, romance

REVIEW: RECKLESS SIN by Eden Summers is a contemporary, adult, erotic, romance novella found in the author’s Reckless Beat series, and a part of the multi-authored HOT !: Charity Anthology focusing on rock star romances. This is the continuing story of songstress Sydney Higgins, and singer/songwriter Mason Lynch (Undesired Lust #3) of the rock band Reckless Beat. For fans of Eden Summers, there is a slight cross-over with the author’s VAULT OF SIN series.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise there may be triggers for more sensitive readers including scenes of MFF sexual situations.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Mason and Sidney) RECKLESS SIN focuses on the emotional recovery of our story line couple. Approximately one year earlier, Mason’s phone was stolen, and a $ex tape of Mason, Sydney and Mason’s band mate Sean was uploaded to the internet destroying Sydney’s life in the process, and making a hero out of the man that she loved. Fast forward to present day wherein Sydney’s life continues to spiral, and she has yet to recover completely from the damage done to her psyche and her career. With their relationship in turmoil, Sydney makes an attempt at putting herself back out into the world, while Mason considers a deal to tell their story to the public but jealousy, misunderstanding and a sense of loss and insecurity push Mason to face the possibility that the woman he loves is continuing to spiral out of control, and he may have already lost her to someone else. When confronted with his worries, Sydney reveals a surprising desire, a desire Mason is about to make come true. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Mason and Sydney, as our couple must come to terms with what is happening and why.

All of the members of Reckless Beat return as secondary and supporting characters, as well as Shay Porter and Leo Petrova (Shot of Sin/ Vault of Sin Series); journalist /writer/ gossip Sophia, and songwriter Linden Lee.

RECKLESS SIN is a story of prior betrayal and vengeance, and the fall-out that has affected the life of our story line heroine. The fast paced premise is emotional and dramatic; the romance is struggling but energetic and provocative; the characters are broken but struggling to heal.

MARRY ME, MAGIC
Rock Revenge/Oblivion Worlds
by Taryn Quinn
Genre: adult, contemporary, erotic,rock, romance

REVIEW: MARRY ME, MAGIC by Taryn Quinn is a contemporary, adult, erotic, rock, romance novella set in the author’s Rock Revenge/Oblivion Worlds, and a part of the multi-authored HOT! Charity Anthology.

Told from three first person perspectives (Ian, Zoe, Simon) MARRY ME, MAGIC focuses on the upcoming nuptials between rock star Ian Kagan and his fiance artist Zoe Manning. Returning home to the apple orchards for her wedding to Ian, Zoe is surprised with the number of changes to the family business including the beloved barn where she and Ian conceived their son Bez but as family and friends quickly gather to help celebrate their wedding, Zoe quickly discovers that more changes are about to happen to her growing family.

MARRY ME, MAGIC is a quick read; a fast paced novella ; a family reunion of sorts that brings the reader up close and personal with the beloved characters we have met throughout the author’s interconnected worlds of Oblivion. Along with Ian’s older brother Simon, the Kagan brothers ‘christen’ the newly renovated barn, a place of memories and magic for our story line heroine. The premise is heart warming and captivating; the characters are familiar and fun; the romances are provocative and steamy

They say love hurts—but they never mentioned it could make you bleed.

His deceit was like wine.
I drank it in. Let it intoxicate me.
But he’s not the man I fell for.
Matthew Langston is a lie.

I’d run from him if I could. I’d flee. If only he hadn’t turned my family against me.
Now, I have nothing. There’s no money, phone, or external support.
Only him, and his obsession with winning me back.

So I’ll use it to my advantage. I’ll use him.
Because he made a promise to help me get revenge on those we despise.
And once that’s over, so are we.

•••••

REVIEW:RUTHLESS REDEMPTION is the second instalment in Eden Summers’ contemporary, adult HUNTING dark, erotic, Mafia, romantic suspense duet-a spin off from the author’s HUNTER HER series. This is the continuing story of single mother Layla Torian, and businessman Matthew Langston’s story line. RUTHLESS REDEMPTION should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events of book one SEEKING VENGEANCE. I recommend reading the HUNTING HER series for back story and cohesion where Layla’s story begins.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Layla and Matthew) RUTHLESS REDEMPTION picks up immediately after the cliff hanger of SEEKING VENGEANCE in which Layla Torian discovers the true identity of the man with whom she had fallen in love, and the extent to which her extended family wishes she no longer existed. A virtual prisoner of the man she once loved, Layla struggles with her attraction to a man who all but destroyed her life. What ensues is the tempestuous relationship between Layla and Matthew, and the potential fall-out as Matthew’s history, and Layla’s past collide, in a fight to the death.

Layla Torian no longer trusts Matthew Langston, or the family that supposedly has let her down. Years under the ruthless control of her father have left Layla embattled and alone but her only thoughts are for the daughter she left behind. Succumbing to Matthew’s apologies and seduction forces Layla to look at the bigger picture when the truth is finally revealed. Matthew Langston knows that when Layla discovers the reality of his past, there may be no turning back from the betrayal and deception but Matthew is willing to risk everything for the woman he loves.

The relationship between Matthew and Layla struggles in the face of secrets, lies and betrayal. Layla is an outcast; a prisoner; a woman on her own but a woman who is determined to regain her freedom, perhaps at the cost of everything she knows. Matthew is desperate for Layla’s forgiveness but protecting our heroine is first and foremost on his mind. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and passionate but I struggle with the use of a certain four-letter word, used only once, but to what purpose.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including Layla’s extended family of siblings and one-time friends from the original Hunting Her series: Decker and Keira, her brother Cole, Layla’s daughter Stella; Matthew’s brothers Salvo and Remy; Matthew’s right-hand man Bishop, as well as his uncle Lorenzo, and his father Emmanuel.

RUTHLESS REDEMPTION is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, obsession and love. The premise is heart breaking, edgy and emotional; the romance is captivating and impassioned; the characters are broken, lost, energetic and resolute. RUTHLESS REDEMPTION ends on a bit of a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

I do everything in my power to keep my secrets hidden.
To maintain our perfect pact that becomes complicated by attraction.

REVIEW: SEEKING VENGEANCE is the first instalment in Eden Summers’ contemporary, adult HUNTING-MAFIA dark, erotic, romantic suspense, Mafia series-a spin off from the author’s HUNTING HER. This is single mother Layla Torian, and businessman Matthew Langston’s story line. SEEKING VENGEANCE can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading the HUNTING HER series for back story and cohesion where Layla’s story begins.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Layla and Matthew) SEEKING VENGEANCE follows Layla Torian on her journey for revenge. Layla’s life spiralled out of control when her father, Luther Torian, manipulated our heroine to betray her family and the people she loved but two years earlier, her daughter’s life was threatened, and Layla demands retribution for sins of the past. Meeting businessman and nightclub owner Matthew Langston stirs something deep within our story line heroine but exposing secrets and lies reveals a deeper connection than anyone could have ever imagined. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Layla and Matthew, and the fall-out as Matthew and Layla’s pasts collide, once again, threatening, everything and everyone Layla and Matthew love.

Layla Torian has struggled with her place in the family for a number of years, always on the outside; ostracized by her siblings, barely in control. Needing revenge for the heart break and pain of almost losing her daughter, Layla goes in search of the people she believes continue to destroy her life, only to come face to face with Matthew Langston, a man who knows more about revenge than Layla knows. Matthew Langston is a man with many secrets, and lies by omission are about to break our heroine’s heart. Obsessed with Layla, Matthew is willing to risk everything to protect the woman with whom he is falling in love.

The relationship between Matthew and Layla is predicated upon a number of lies. Neither Matthew nor Layla are willing to expose themselves-the who, what, and why, of their need to avenge and protect but an immediate attraction and desire pulls our heroine into Matthew’s life. With a history of ‘falling’ for the wrong type of men, Layla is about to discover that Matthew may be the most evil of them all. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and intense but I dislike the use of a certain four-letter word, although only used once, more for shock value than anything else.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including Layla’s extendedn family of siblings and one-time friends from the original Hunting Her series: Luke and Sarah, Decker and Keira, Anissa and Cole ,Luca and Penny; Layla’s daughter Stella, and their half brother Tobias, as well as Matthew’s largely dysfunctional family, and his right hand man Bishop.

SEEKING VENGEANCE is a heart breaking and emotional story of betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, power and control, obsession and love. The premise is revealing, twisted and edgy; the characters are wounded and determined; the romance is seductive, captivating and spirited. SEEKING VENGEANCE ends of a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

“Are you deliberately torturing me?” he growls.
My heart kicks. Wild and unrhythmic. “Torturing you?”
He raises the scotch, downing the contents in one fell swoop before returning the glass to his side. “You know exactly what I’m talking about.”
There’s a warning in his voice. A delicious subtle threat.
My throat tightens. My chest, too. Everything is so painfully, invigoratingly restricted that I have to fight hard to maintain level breathing.

REVIEW:COLE is the sixth and final? instalment in Eden Summers’ contemporary, adult HUNTING HER erotic, romantic suspense series focusing on a tight knit group of illegally connected friends. This is the continuing story of crime lord Cole Torian and, FBI agent Anissa Fox’s story line. COLE should not be read as a stand alone- Cole and Anissa’s story started in book three TORIAN. I recommend reading the series in order for back story and cohesion as there are several recurring and ongoing themes throughout.

SOME BACKGROUND: Approximately two years earlier Penny Decker , Sebastian Decker’s sister (Decker #2) disappeared and had been held captive in Greece, as a sexual slave along with several other women, by crime lord Luther Torian. Luther Torian is the estranged father of Cole Torian (Torian #3 & Cole #6) and Keira Torian (Decker #2). In book four SAVIOR, Penny, along with the other women were rescued and brought back to safety in the USA but trouble has followed everyone home.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Cole and Anissa) COLE continues to focus on the acrimonious relationship between crime lord Cole Torian and, FBI agent Anissa Fox. Cole and Anissa’s time together in Greece found our couple at odds upon their return to America. Anissa was working undercover but in the end, Anissa remains an FBI agent, and struggles with her attraction to a man who could end her career, and her life, without hesitation. Cole Torian fell in love with our story line heroine but battles between head and heart knowing her allegiance to law enforcement, a fellow Agent, and the history of Anissa with one of his men but all is for naught when two small children with connections to their ‘family’ are abducted, and Cole is forced to make a decision to save the children or his relationship with the woman he loves. What ensues is the building but tempestuous relationship between Cole and Anissa, and the potential fall-out as Cole must come to terms with the woman he loves, and Anissa must choose between the future and her past.

Anissa Fox knows that to get involved with Cole Torian would mean the end of her FBI career but the heart wants something it cannot have, and in this Anissa continues to push away the man with whom she has fallen in love. To complicate matters, Anissa is seen as a liability by Cole Torian’s men, a liability that is better off dead, and buried along with the ‘family’s’ other secrets. Cole Torian wants Anissa Fox at all costs including the respect of the men he commands but the abduction of two young children has prioritized Cole’s current timeline, and in this Cole refuses to have any more deaths placed in his hands.

The relationship between Cole and Anissa is a sexually charged, palpable, impassioned affair fuelled by Anissa’s back and forth, up and down reaction to our story line hero. There is another man after our heroine’s heart, and in this Cole’s jealousy threatens all semblance of control. The $ex scenes are intimate and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and familiar secondary and supporting characters including all the previous story line couples: Luke and Sarah (Hunter #1) Decker and Keira (Decker #2 Luca and Penny (Savior #4 & Luca #5), Benji and Layla, and their daughter Stella; Cole’s brother Tobias, as well as Mafia head Emmanuel Costa, his sons Salvatore and Remy, and his daughter Abri.

COLE is a story of family, betrayal and vengeance; power and control; relationships, friendships, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is action packed, tense and intriguing; the romance is seductive and fated; the characters are strong, energetic, dynamic and lost. COLE ends on a happily ever after-for now- but the author leaves the story line open ended and the announcement of a spin off series with cameos from some of the Hunter Her characters.

I’m certain the monsters did, too.

I’m told it’s paranoia. Trauma. PTSD.

REVIEW: LUCA is the fifth instalment in Eden Summers contemporary, adult HUNTING HER romantic suspense series, and part two of Penny Decker and ex Navy SEAL Luca Hart’s duet. LUCA should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up after the events of book four SAVIOR wherein Penny and several women were rescued from a sexual slave operation. The story ARC begins in book three TORIAN.

SOME BACKGROUND: Approximately two years earlier Penny Decker disappeared and had been held captive in Greece, as a sexual slave along with several other women, by crime lord Luther Torian. Luther Torian is the estranged father of Cole Torian (Torian #3) and Keira Torian (Decker #2). In book four SAVIOR, Penny, along with the other women were rescued and brought back to safety in the USA but trouble has followed our heroine home.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Luca and Penny) LUCA focuses on Penny’s recovery from months spent serving a monster but all is not well in Penny’s life as she continues to struggle with PTSD and issues of trust. Currently under the care, and living at the home of Luca Hart, Penny remains withdrawn and unsure, unable to move beyond the pain and damage of what happened or why. As Luca’s attraction to Penny grows with every encounter, Luca battles between head and heart knowing Penny has suffered greatly at the hands of Luther Torian and his second in command Robert. What ensues is the slow building romance and relationship between Luca and Penny, and the fall-out as Penny and the women remain virtual captives of their past but a past that is continuing to affect their present.

Penny Decker believes she is unworthy of happiness or love, and her personal pity parties often become self-fulfilling prophecies as she is unable to move beyond the past-two steps forward, one step back- our heroine‘s emotional struggles, and refusal to talk, are affecting her relationship with our leading hero. Luca Hart’s attraction to Penny was immediate upon their first interaction at the compound in Greece but Luca refuses to cross the proverbial line, a line Penny is hoping did not exist.

The relationship between Penny and Luca begins in book four SAVIOR and continues to build in the current time line. Living at Luca’s house, Penny busies herself cooking and cleaning but is unable to let go of what happened in Greece believing herself a victim of circumstance and life. Luca knows Penny is the woman that calls to his heart but even his heart knows that Penny is going to take time to heal. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including Cole Torian and Anissa Fox, Sebastian Decker and Keira Torian, Luke Hunter, Cole and Keira’s half-brother Tobias; security operative Sarah; Luca’s brother Benji, and Benji’s wife Layla. The requisite evil has many faces.

LUCA is a story of betrayal, vengeance, and obsession; healing, relationships, friendships and love. The premise is engaging and captivating; the romance is seductive; the characters are energetic, dynamic, broken and lost. LUCA ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.
