There are more kinds of love than anyone - even poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning - could count. Here are 25 great loves from across the spectrum: some married, some not; some lasting, some not. Here are the stories of Edith and Woodrow Wilson for whom love was her path to powerEdward VII and Wallis Warfield Simpson, for whom love meant his giving up the throne. Here are Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock, whose love kept him saneand Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, whose love arguably drove her crazy.

Lovebirds and starstruck voyeurs may be interested in Count the Ways: The Great Love Stories of Our Time. Journalist Paul Aron (Unsolved Mysteries of American History) writes about celebrated (or reviled) couples like Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Ronald and Nancy Reagan, and Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker. The couples mostly straight, white and extremely well known are divided into categories like "Actors and Actresses" and "Royals and Rulers." Aron briefly summarizes each relationship, outlining how the couple met and following the trajectory whether tragic, sordid or heartwarming of each romance.

Awaken by Rachel Humphrey-D'aigle is book 1 in her Fated Fantasy Quest series and for me it is a good start to this series. Charles Barkley was probably in high school in 1978 but Chuck drops his name as though he was a famous pro basketball player in 78. I have now resumed my daily rides and I do feel more confident.
The reason I gave the book four stars instead of five is that there is quite a bit of extran
