Book Description
Gabe Kasper, heartthrob of Buckhorn County, could have had any woman he wanted— if he'd had a mind to settle down. Which he didn't. The freedom of being a jack-of-all-trades with no one to answer to suited him just fine. And then a prickly, uptight, red-haired college woman showed up.—
Elizabeth Parks needed Gabe to complete her thesis on heroism, but he didn't seem to think saving a couple of lives made him a hero. She was inclined to agree that he seemed like the exception to the rule. Until he rescued her heart and soul with his fearless passion.

Book #3.......2007-07-02
Wonderful story! If you are looking for a quick, cute, short and simple love story. This is for you. Starts write off. Can't help but like both main characters. I normally don't give short, simple books 5 stars, but I'm making an exception for this story because it was so...neat.
Great Reding.......2007-06-27
Gabe just like the rest of the Buckhorn Brothers is worth buying! They are all awesome guys with really great stories. Each brother is different but they are all are hot, sexy and romantic. Anyone who reads these books will fall for them.
Wow, I want my own Gabe!.......2007-06-14
I stumbled across the Buckhorn Brothers books while looking for Erin McCarthy books (which are great, too, by the way). I ordered all four at one time, and for some reason they're taking several weeks to ship. But they shipped Gabe early, and am I ever glad! I debated waiting for the rest so I could read them in order, but after peaking inside, I had to read Gabe right away.
Even though I sometimes roll my eyes at the cheesy perfect-ness of the men in romance novels (and Gabe is pretty much perfect), I have to admit I'm a sucker for these stories. Gabe is really too good to be true. He's one of those super-charming men who really loves and appreciates women. I usually find men like that are raised in households with sisters or by single mothers or grandmas, not like the testosterone-filled Hudson/Kasper house.
Anyway, this story was just really sexy. I like that Gabe falls for a shy, bookish, average-looking girl like Lizzy, and not a bombshell. He even wonders himself why he's falling for someone so against his type. Of course by the end of the book, he thinks Lizzy is beautiful. Lizzy is a little unbelievable in her naiveté, but it makes for a good story when Gabe gets to introduce her to all sorts of new experiences.
The book doesn't really have a plot, and the romance happens in record time, but it doesn't matter. The story is written well enough that you just go with it. Even though these are re-issued older books, nothing in the Gabe book was at all dated. It could have been set today or any time in the past ten years. I'm looking forward to reading the other three brothers' stories, and then the new story about Casey that's coming out soon. I doubt they can top this one, though!
Warning - This series is addictive - off to read book 4!.......2007-06-06
This series is fantastic you have four handsome, intelligent, real honest men who love women. The underline theme is that good men do exist. Each brother gets his own book and each fall in love even though they don't want to.... Buy the whole series, get glass of favorite beverage and they will leave with a smile! Buckhorn Brothers Series Sawyer (Book 1), Morgan (Book 2), Gabe (Book 3),Jordan (Book 4) and Casey (Book 5 published in 2002),

New Directions in Altered Books.......2007-08-17
This was a well made book with good photos etc. It was not entirely visually appealing to me however and I felt a little let down. If I had seen it in the flesh prior to purchasing I would have left it. (One of the pitfalls with internet buying I suppose).
However, maybe I am not into the whole 'altered book' process and as such my comments may not be a good overall yardstick.
What a fun book!.......2007-07-22
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The instructions are very good, there are many creative ideas and the photography is wonderful. There are some really unique approaoches to wall art using altered books, as well as using CDs, picture frames, etc. What I like best is that this book has some new and refreshing ideas which I haven't seen before and that always gets my creative juices flowing. There is also a great gallery which showcases the work of other artists. For those just beginning, the book starts with how to choose the right book for altering. For the more advanced enthusiast, there is a section that asks, "What if...? and explores new possibilities with other artists. Something for everyone and definitely one of my favorites.
Recommended.......2007-05-24
This book was initially recommended to me by an art instructor. It has proved to be a well-founded recommendation. Clear instruction and inspiring.
Unusual ideas, for artists.......2007-05-13
This book has some very interesting ideas. Its more for the real artist who is making altered books, not the more crafty person. It sparked several ideas of my own. Not a first book to buy, though, if you're just getting into the subject.
Creatively Top-notch.......2007-05-09
Sometimes a writer simply clicks. Gabe Cyr is in top form from start to finish. I couldn't turn a page in this book without being inspired. Although the book might be a stretch for some readers who want to try altered books for the first time, it is so filled with ideas, hints, tips and possibilities that even the complete novice would find encouragement to try a new skill.
My personal experience has been that many craft books are mediocre at best. The offerings lean toward "cute" or toward craft groups preparing for a fund-raising event...very middle-of-the-road. Gabe Cyr dares to try truly unusual things and in the process to open the door for others to do the same. The projects are not intended to be re-created exactly, but to help each reader find her or his own "voice" in this artistic craft.
An excellent addition to any serious library.

The average American eats the fat equivalent of a cup of butter each day, and it's easy to convert this dietary fat to body fat (the saying "A moment on the lips, forever on the hips" isn't so farfetched after all). This is probably why one in three adults in this country is obese. But authors Gabe Mirkin, M.D., and Barry Fox, Ph.D. (coauthor of the bestselling Arthritis Cure) say that focusing on cutting the fat out of your diet is not the right way to lose weight, as a drastically low-fat diet almost always leads to late-day bingeing.
By increasing dietary fiber to 30 grams a day (with beans, whole grains, and vegetables), and by moderately cutting fat intake to 20 grams, they say that permanent weight loss can be achieved-- without painful hunger pangs, headaches, or petulant fits of rage that threaten your long-term relationships. This is the very diet that TV talk-show host Larry King credits with saving his life.
Of course, this is the diet that everyone knows they should be following. Eating a low-fat, high-fiber diet including vegetables has been shown to help prevent colon, breast, lung, and other kinds of cancers; helps keep the heart healthy; may prevent adult-onset diabetes; and lowers blood pressure. But having a life often gets in the way of eating right. That's where the hundred easy-to-prepare recipes in The 20/30 Fat and Fiber Plan come in, including Southwestern Bean Dip, Extra Quick Chili, and Sicilian Minestrone. Few recipes require more than 10 ingredients, and most can be made in less than half an hour. More than 100 pages of fat and fiber counts for thousands of foods, including take-out and brand-name items, make it easy to follow the plan while eating on the run.
The 20/30 Fat and Fiber Plan recognizes that humans are, after all, fallible, so you're allowed to "cheat" on the diet. "The 19 Meals Rule" says that each week, if you follow the plan for 19 meals, you can eat whatever you want for 2 meals. While the authors say not to stuff yourself, this does make the 20/30 plan one you can follow even while eating out. They also avoid the a word (aerobics) and give guidelines for playing away excess weight.
Hallelujah, a sensible weight-loss plan that improves your health, rather than endangering it like so many diet fads of late! --Erica Jorgensen

Customer Reviews:
Great book.......2007-08-04
This book is great! It explains in laymans terms the whys and hows of the diet. The only negative is the food chart in the back is outdated. I would love to see it updated. Beyond that, the diet itself works and the book explains the simple changes to make in your life to adapt to a healthier, fiber filled life style.
"Must Buy" .......2007-02-13
Explained how the fiber helps you to lose weight and not being hungry. I read several books, this is the best. It is easy to meet 30 grams of fiber but it is hard to keep under 20 grams of fat because fat is everywhere and you need to learn to prepare the food without the fat. Quite challenge but if you follow this book, you can do it.
the diet of a lifetime... if you don't have life .......2006-09-06
I've lost 10 pounds since reading this book. That said, the 20-30 plan, while full of superb information is a book that everyone can read but few will follow. The tips are great (19 meals "on the plan" get two meals "free"). The list of phytochemicals is quite comprehensive. Ditto of the Whole Grain Glossary. And the instructions on preparing food is great. Unfortunately, the recipes suck (unless you love curry, curry and more curry), sticking to under 20 grams of fat per day feels impossible (30 is doable -- at least that's been my experience), and planning out all the meals according their master lists and recipes is JUST TOO HARD. I'd need a personal chef working 40 hours a week to stay on this plan. Bottom line, this is a great diet if you have a lot of time on your hands and little else to do besides plan and prepare meals. Worth reading for the first 8 chapters, which is why I've given this book 3 stars.
20/30 Diet.......2005-11-21
This is really a book, if you can afford and have the time to make the items. I'm on the go alot and cannot take time to shop for these items. Nor can I spend alot of time in kitchen. So alas it sits on the book shelf.
Sounds Logical.........2004-12-29
I added fat to my high fiber diet and dropped pounds. I had always, however, been physically fit and slim, except for a few months after having twins six years ago. I find that while high fiber is crucial to health and slimness, adding fat helped me drop my post-pregnancy weight and definitely contributes to my size 2 figure today.
As I'm sitting here writing this review I'm sipping a delicious beverage that cannot stop drinking. Absolutely fabulous stuff! Made from roasted soya that you brew like coffee. My doctor said my cholesterol dropped 30 points thanks to this. Look for it online at www.s oycoffee.com. As for the book, it's pure pleasure reading

Excellent book.......2007-05-22
I think any one concerned about their health should take a look at this book. The recipes are great too.
A hidden gem.......2006-04-10
I edit cookbooks for a living, and this is one of my favorites from which to cook. If a strict fat-free diet isn't necessary for you, modify as I do by saut?eing veggies in a little olive oil, and feel free to improvise with substitutes. But this book is solid and full of creative, colorful food and wonderful flavor combinations.
LOWER HIGH TRIGLYCERIDES WITHOUT MEDICINE.......2004-01-03
I started researching this topic about 2 years ago when my 35 year old husband became violently sick one night, he went the next morning for a blood test and his triglycerides were over 1800. They should be around 150 for a normal person. My husband has what Dr. Murkin calls Diabetic genes (all of his siblings and father suffer from high tri's & cholesterol). His HDL was 20 and his cholesterol was 400. After 2 weeks on Murkin, tricor and niacin he's bloods were in a good range. Since my husband & I prefer not to take medicine, he dropped the niacin and tricor after about a month. His bloods remained low with just the Murkin Diet. He began cheating about 6 months ago and spiraled out of control, a recent blood test showed tri's up above 2000. We are back on the diet in a big way and we will never go off of it again. I highly recommend this book!!
A book that can change (and maybe even save) your life.......2003-07-07
Fat Free, Flavor Full is the book where Dr Mirkin lays down the thought and the science behind his 20-gram/ "20/30" plan. If a Mirkin book has been recommended to you by a doctor, this is the book to read (get it from the library if you must, but do get it). He lays out his story, explains why genuinely low-fat diet is important, and the links between high fat and disease. I cannot recommend this book enough for those with high cholesterol, who have typeII diabetes, or TypeII runs in their family.
For most Americans it requires a bit of a seachange in eating habits, but it's well worth it. With the right foods, you can lose weight while eating as much as you want(I work in a very physically demanding job, build up a whale of an appetite, and teeny portions of food are simply NOT going to cut it!).
His tone can be a bit magisterial at times and I personally don't share his dislike for soybean products, but the science and reasoning behind this book are undeniable. If you are serious about losing extra weight and living healthier, get this book. Read it, absorb it, make the change, and live better.
AWESOME NO BULL WAY OF LIFE.......2002-11-05
I absolutely love Mirkin's books. My hubbie and I converted to his "life style change" 6 months ago and we practically had to go out and buy a new wardrobe because of all the weight we lost. I went from 136 to 102 and he went from 220 to 180 -- all in about 4 months. Neither of us starved or went hungry to do it!
Mirkin's theory is rock solid, and you can't argue with results. Limiting that fat intake and eating LOTS of high fiber filling foods (unrefined carbos like fruits, veggies, and beans) works 100% more effective than any stupid fad diet I've seen.
His recipes taste great and his 19 meals rule makes the diet easy to follow (every 19 healthy meals you get 1 or 2 "free meals")
Definately get his books if you want to get realistic and are tired of all the fad diet junk out there!!
Book Description
More and more people over age sixty-five are remarrying each year, and few families are prepared for the avalanche of feelings that comes when adult children learn that a parent is getting remarried. Psychiatrist Grace Gabe and award winning author Jean Lipman-Blumen provide a practical guide with advice and understanding for every family facing this increasingly common, complex situation. Using case studies from a variety of perspectives, chapters address concerns frequently faced, including:* Who Should Inherit My Property? Managing Financial Conflict Between the Generations* Health and Illness: Thank Heaven the Caretaker Is On Duty*The Grandchildren: Innocent Pawns (or Occasional Bridges) in Stepfamily ConflictsWritten for both the couple getting married as well as their adult children, Step Wars is the only book in the market that focuses on the blending of adult families.
Customer Reviews:
The ONLY Adult Stepfamily Book You'll EVER Need!.......2004-04-23
Finally! A book that emerges amidst the sea of stepfamily guides, offering direction through the waters of ADULT stepfamilies. Step Wars assists your travel through the life of an adult stepfamily beginning with the conception of the relationship, and covering the plethora of complications, which lead up to the inheritance at its bereavement.
Straying from the theoretical pathway that too many authors follow, Grace Gabe and Jean Lipman-Blumen intertwine their theories and advice among the examples from real individuals as they experience adult stepfamilies. As you read through the various interviews throughout the book, you'll inevitably stumble upon a scenario that hits close to home.
Step Wars is more than just a book about adult stepfamilies; it is a handbook that EVERY stepparent and stepchild should not live without. As you find yourself confronted with any difficult crossroad, you'll undoubtedly find the answer you need within the covers of this book.
Step Wars is "must" reading.......2004-04-11
This is a lovely book and reads well and offers important help. Step Wars can help happy second marriages stay that way! It will help to anticipate, understand and negotiate the pitfalls of dealing with adult step children. although not advertised as such, this book offers sound advice about how parents in general should talk about finances with their grown children. I predict a wide and grateful audience.
Outstanding Book.......2004-04-10
This is an outstanding book. It tackles the delicate issues surrounding the many varieties of adult step families with wisdom and wit. A sense of profound and seasoned realism underlies the authors' approach and they address the most difficult questions ( including money and sex) with gripping and often painful experiences from real life. There are no easy answers but this book is truly a guide to realistic accommodations. It is enlivened by intelligence, a sense of humor, and is vastly above the level of most self help books. I couldn't put it down.

best rap book for browsing..........2007-05-25
this is a fantastic book! super informative and great trivia facts to stump your friends with. after all these years of owning it, i still go back to it to get a laugh or reminisce about the golden age of hiphop. a great book for any hip hop head.
Very informative..........2007-05-19
Within this book is more information than any Hip Hop head or Rap music fan can handle. It Goes into forgotten beefs and incidents that have occured from 80 to 97. As well as a ton of other usefull information. I only have one problem... On page 236 "The House That Beef Built" #3 Goes on to say LL Cool J took out Kool Moe Dee in the infamous wax battle... But then on page 242 It states that during one of Kool Moe Dee's shows LL was in the crowd. Kool Moe Dee called him out but, LL refused. In my opinion that was a forfit. What do you think? Other than that... book is great!
Essential.......2005-12-23
Buy this! Great for laughs and serious topics alike, it is unputdownable. You will want to read it cover to cover then re read it. Excellent.
This is a BIASED Review!!.......2005-11-24
Pretty much everything that needs to be said has already been said here about this incredible book. Yes this book can rightly be considered the BIBLE of hip-hop history. Not only is it informative and entertaining, but it's done with tongue-in-cheek humor.
Now the reason why my review is biased is because I'm fortunate enough to be listed in this book. In 1983 I was part of the group Rickey G & the EverLOVING 5 MC's and we recorded the single "To The Max". Well... as far as I knew it was played a couple of times by Mr. Magic in New York, and that was about it. Yet lo and behold it's listed on the Holy Grail that is Hip Hop's Greatest Singles by Year (1983). The Editor's of this book have Exquisite Taste... but that's just my humble opinion. But in all seriousness, anyone who loves Hip Hop will thoroughly LOVE this book!
Ego Trippin.......2005-04-17
I read this book front to back probally... well i forget how many times i read it but its been a lot maybe 100. ego trips book of rap lists is the greatest rap book ever made. i refer to it as "the bible" as any real hiphop head should. the writing and commentary by these authors are amazing. peep RA the rugged mans 10 top ways to get dropped off your record label.
Book Description
Best-selling author Gabe Suarez provides a graduate-level course in shooting with lightning speed and dead on target during the intensity of an actual gun battle. In Tactical Pistol Marksmanship, Suarez revisits some of the topics in the classic book The Tactical Pistol and presents even more gun-handling techniques, different twists on basic skills and unique tricks to help fine-tune how you aim and fire a gun under stress. Just some of the topics he covers are the primary requirements for the ideal service pistol according to combat vets; the rule of thumb for choosing a serious combat caliber; the 4 most important fundamentals of combat marksmanship; secrets to shooting in extremely low light situations when even tritium sights are of no use; the solutions to emergency failure-to-stop situations; and practical drills you can perform safely at home.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent Book.......2007-08-15
I have read this book 3 times, as there is so much great information presented. Another book to underline key phrases.
Great Overview with Excellent Training Recommendations.......2006-12-18
Gabe Suarez covers a wide range of topics: Pistol Selection, Ammunition, Accessories, Loading, Unloading, Grip, Stance, etc... It's an excellent overview of combat shooting for those just beginning to learn and a great review for those with more advanced skills.
There are numerous illustrations, a list of resources and practice drills (both live fire and dry fire).
Overall a well written book that covers a lot of ground. Suarez advocates perfect practice and dry fire training. He says..."the more you shoot, the worse shot you will become." From a personal perspective, my skills began to increase significantly after I decreased my live fire practice sessions and focused more on dry fire at home. Although it took me a while to believe in the concept; perfect practice at a slow to moderate pace WILL make you smooth and that smoothness is what makes you fast (i.e. slow is smooth and smooth is fast).
Not What I Was Expecting.......2006-11-06
I was looking for a book to improve my shooting and I did not think this really helped. Full of anacdotes and little war stories. Not what I was after at all. My focus is on ISSF (or bullseye) shooting and this book is about police style use of firearms.
Excellent primer for pistol shooting.......2006-10-01
This book is an excellent primer for the person looking to be able to accurately fire a handgun very quickly. I purchased this book as a primer for the local concealed weapons license (CWL) course for my wife and benefited from it greatly as well.
The author explains stance, aiming and firing technique as well as a wealth of introductory information.
Some of the information is beyond basic (don't point your weapon at something you don't want to destroy) but is warranted considering the target audience of the book; his chapter on failure to stop was very good.
Hitting your target with a rifle at short range is very easy, however there is a great deal more technique required for a handgun and this book will go a long way towards getting you started.
I'd recommend getting professional instruction as well, the book could use better photos and they are black and white.
Our scores at 7-15 yards have increased 70% or so since we read the book, that's after 2 range trips.
Ideal Book for Beginners.......2006-01-21
I started to think of having a hand gun 5 weeks ago, after reading this book and starting practicing I could score 98% on a 7 yard target consistently only after 3 weeks. My wife read the book and could score 87% on her first time shooting. I gave the book to a friend and I am buying a second one.

In the midst of a carb-cutting craze, Dr. Gabe Mirkin reminds us that not all carbohydrates are alike. Drawing on a post-Atkins approach, Dr. Mirkin and coauthor Diana Mirkin, approach eating and fitness in terms of a healthy hearts rather than a smaller jean size. The centerpiece of their approach is exercise paired with "ASH,"a meatless and whole grain diet designed to reduce chances of suffering from heart attack, diabetes and stroke. The "miracle" of the title refers to how quickly and dramatically this diet can lower blood pressure and "bad" cholesterol counts. Using an eight-week workbook format, the authors offer clear explanations of healthy heart concepts including cholesterol, blood sugar body fat and fiber. They offer accessible assessment tools (body mass index, the apple vs. pear body shape and the "pinch test"). Writing with a clear and engaging style, the Mirkins point readers toward the prevention of diseases such as diabetes, hardened arteries and dementia. As author of the bestselling Sports Medicine Book, Dr. Mirkin emphasizes fitness as much as food. The organization of the book into eight-week modules can be confusing. But the specific ideas including recipes, food lists and fitness options are practical and persuasive. --Barbara Mackoff
Book Description

Anything written by Gabe Mirkin is Worth It!.......2005-07-05
Too bad more doctors aren't as intelligent as Gabe Mirkin. Even if you don't agree with all of his philosophy, even just adapting 80% or 50% of what he teaches, will change your life for the better. In just over a month, my mother, who had suffered from a heart attack, has improved dramtically with her blood pressure, etc. This is all thanks to what Mirkin teaches! Her doctor has said..."It's a miracle!"
Wonderful - Changed my Life.......2005-06-10
This book had that big of an impact on me. I'm only 34 and exercise fairly regularly but my diet was lacking. I've been doing Dr. Mirkin's suggestions for 5 months and I've lost 20 pounds and I'm eating like a pig and enjoying every bite. I'm never hungry and have 9% body fat now and it's not hard to maintain. I also love the blood test coupon in the book. I took it to my doctor and ran them all so I have a bench mark. Best $ I've spent in a long time.
The Healthy Heart Miracle by Mirkin.......2004-05-30
This book will assist you in maintaining a healthy heart utilizing natural protocols. The authors caution to utilize
refined carbs sparingly. Protein builds up the body in elderly people. As such, lean meat, fish and non-fat dairy are preferred.
The DASH protocol is described at length. It involves generous helpings of fruits, veggies, fat-free dairy, nuts, legumes and olive oil. Exercises are depicted to assist arthritis sufferers.
One exercise involves sitting in a chair, folding the arms and
bending forward. The C-reactive protein and homocysteine blood levels are cited as meaningful predictors of heart disease.
This book is an excellent value for the money. It will help you craft a meaningful exercise program and diet regimen. The contents will benefit people of all ages. The book is directed to middle-aged and elderly people. As such, it will benefit this constituency maximally.
