Also, I read it as it was released so the anticipation of what would happen killed me!<br /><br />But really I love all of them.

Hard Timr worked for me a little more than you, I think. I'm deeply hesitant when it comes to relationships that begin that way, but as always, McKenna wins me every single time. <br /><br />I'm curious...which is your favorite book of hers? I want to say Unbound, but I also loved Curio and Willing Victim a lot too. You know, Her Best Laid Plans is right up there too!

She's the outreach librarian and helps the inmates learn to read, write letters, resumes, apply for jobs etc. <br /><br />The just use the letters as a way of communicating more than they can within the prison environment.<br /><br />The Curio series is my favorite but After Hours might be a good place to start with her books.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958940283330319507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-53231828667810750752014-04-14T15:07:20.020-04:002014-04-14T15:07:20.020-04:00You know, I don't think I've ever read a C...You know, I don't think I've ever read a Cara McKenna.

I know that a LOT of women start correspondence with men in prison, but it's an idea that I find completely mind-boggling.
