I absolutely loved Tapout I finished it in two days! I read the excerpt for it in the buzz book and loved it so I bought it and finished it today! It got my heart rate up from the way you explained the fight scenes it made me feel like I was there! It also made me cry sad and happy tears and made me want to go start training! I hope that oneday there will be a continuing story for Tone’s character!

I just finished reading Tap Out. It was a amazing book. I hope you right more. The ending was kind of ruined for me by my cousin but it was still a very good book I read up to chapter 19 when it was spoiled for me. But still very good!

Paula,
Glad you enjoyed the story in spite of the spoiler. I think you’ll have to keep my next book out of your cousin’s hands until after you’ve read it. Expect it in the fall of 2013. Thanks.
