I bet he takes infrequent breaks, and only to engage in deep, philosophical conversations with the occasional passing bug. In short, he's a nut, and of course I enjoyed Hot Mess Express, or whatever it's called. I love them all, God help me!""Unlike the typical Dani Ripper books, this novel has all the elements of a Donovan Creed and Dr. Box, to go with the zaniness of Dani's character.""The Lenny-Vicky subplot was riveting. Once it started, I was thoroughly invested in the story. Loved the twists and turns!"
