Review from French Kiss →
Piers Ryman does it again! He made CF White’s words come alive for me and turned a story I loved when I first read it with my eyes, into something I loved even more. I loved hearing him speak French. ❤ Both Dale and Valentin have things in their past that have shaped who they..
Best recent book on China
Review from The Avoidable War →
If you consider yourself a China Watcher via audiobook this is a must listen. Author is very well placed to give an honest look, he is a former Australian PM. Great book on how Xi sees the world and how things can play out.
Great story. Great narration.
Review from Leap of Faith →
CF White has done a lovely job of illustrating the pageantry of a circus performance while also including the personal experiences of the audience and performers.

Excellent book! This book is definitely a must-read for everyone as the China-US geopolitical issue will most likely continue well into the future and will affect every country.
What an amazingly sweet book. Low-angst, hurt/comfort, Daddy/boy goodness. You can’t help but want to love Jayden, his life was rough and lonely. Knowing that, it makes the reader appreciate Ben all the more for how wonderful he is. You really root for him and Jayden, they are perfect for each other. I’m not crazy..
