You have to request this, along with sending its information and the cover (because the poor blog owner can\u2019t be expected to keep track of all the LDS authors and fiction out there).  If I recall correctly, I didn\u2019t send a pic of the cover with it because, well, it has bewbies on it.  It\u2019s entirely apropos to the story thematically (on about three different levels), but unless you read the book, you aren\u2019t going to get that.  On the other hand, I know the audience there and while I didn\u2019t think it would appreciate the cover, obviously the blog owner did what she thought consistent with her blog.<\/p>\n<p>So I\u2019ve garnered a one-star review.  Oh, wait, did I say REVIEW?  I meant to say, a one-star disapproval rating, based on the cover.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"normal\"><p>That\u2019s an awful cover.

(Or, better, when the back blurb SAID there was a bishop\u2019s wife and a vampire together, and the reviewers didn\u2019t get it might not be something you\u2019d buy from Deseret Book until they got to the sex scenes.)<\/p>\n<p>I can so appreciate that someone wouldn\u2019t want the print version in the house, so the Lord has provided you with a SOLUTION!<\/p>\n<p>EBOOKS!<\/p>\n<p>Give thanks and be glad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Th., give thanks and be glad!
