Sex After Prostate Cancer: A Wife's Secret by Lori Wilk

Review
"Sex After Prostate Cancer" is an encouraging book about how to deal with the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer, including the medical and psychological aspects.

One of the great things about this book is that it covers everything from the medical aspect (what is prostate cancer, what is the PSA blood test, etc) to the psycho-social aspect (how to adjust to sex afterward, what to do about problems with erections, etc).

The author, Lori Wilk, is very passionate about this topic, and it shows in her writing -- you can tell she has a genuine desire to help others.

Her writing is simple and concise, and only tells you what is important. She shares a lot of personal information and anecdotes, which helped me see her points more clearly.

The section about depression following the diagnosis is particularly informative. All too often we get caught up in the medical aspect of a diagnosis, and we can forget about the psychological aspects. There is quite a lot of information (even statistics from the American Cancer Society)  in this book, but it is organized well and not difficult to follow.

This book is an absolute must-read if you or someone you know is going through a diagnosis of prostate cancer.

Warm My Heart by Tessa Stockton

Review
The first book of the HEARTS IN AFRICA series, "Warm My Heart," by Tessa Stockton, is an inspirational romance about two people who find a unique bond while on a missionary trip in Africa.

The main characters, Sarah and Mitch, are both in Africa following events in their past that they want to put behind them.

Through the trials of their environment, they learn about themselves and each other, growing as individuals.

The plot of this book is very much character-driven, and the reader is determined to find out what happens to Sarah and Mitch next.

The writing is fitting for the genre (inspirational romance), and Stockton has the characters reflecting about decisions, which leads to the characters' personal growth.

There are a lot of fun scenes, involving adventure and humor, that keep the feel of the book light-hearted throughout.

Overall, this is a great book for anyone looking for an uplifting, inspirational romance about love and faith.

The Outmate by Victoria L. Trenton

Review
"The Outmate," by Victoria L. Trenton, is an erotic crime thriller about a charged relationship between two unlikely people.

Promoter Chrissie Laursen, recently divorced and recovering from alcoholism, reluctantly agrees to a date, set up by her flamboyant best friend, Roland, thinking it will be a good stress release.

She does not realize that her date, Nick Jessup, is a bad boy (with a dark past), who will soon have her hungering for his love.

Chrissie's feelings for Nick develop at an alarming rate, all the while, she's discovering he is much, much more than a pretty face.

The plot is incredibly gripping, with the reader wanting to know about Nick's past and the future of Nick and Chrissie's relationship.

The book's writing perfectly captures the tragic-yet-beautiful feeling of the story.

The book is written in first-person, with the narrator occasionally injecting hindsight thoughts into the story, which allows the reader to empathize with Chrissie and her decisions.

The highlight of "The Outmate" is the attraction between Chrissie and Nick, which, although it is strained and unusual at moments, develops into an incredibly deep, soulful, physical relationship.

If you are looking for a character-driven novel (with explicit scenes) that explores a dark yet beautiful relationship, then "The Outmate" is the perfect book for you.
