I already have To Love a Hero--I won it!! But haven't read it yet. Alas, I have been away, and as soon as I catch up, I'll read it--I chose it, because I've read excerpts through The Book Spa (I'm one of the 4 moderators)and it intrigued me. Congratulations, Mona, on the wonderful success you've had so far.
