     That’s what I am. My virginity auctioned off to handsome billionaire Owen Gregory. He’s twenty-eight years old, a top-of-the-class Harvard grad who made his billions by starting his own medical device company right out of college. He’s tall and dark, his body tightly muscled under the charcoal-colored suits he wears. His silk ties and silver cuff links give him an impeccable air that’s only intensified by his dark and penetrating gaze. My mind reels when he looks at me, my tummy flipping while heat slips down between my legs and swirls there, too. When he touches me, I feel tightness in my private parts that I’ve never felt before. After our first night, I’m already addicted. Addicted to him, his touch, his kiss, the noises he makes as he moves inside of me. I know I have to be careful not to get too close, because Owen Gregory is a man devoid of emotion. I’m crushed by everything he says, the ways he tries to push me away. Because that’s what he does—push and push and wall himself up until nothing and no one can get to him. But I can’t help wondering what happened to make him this way. Can’t help trying to break down his carefully constructed walls. Can’t help risking my heart if there’s even a chance to save him… Even if I have to find out the hard way that a man as cold as Owen Gregory is beyond redemption…

It’s personal now, and as the death toll rises, Houston and Bouchard will stop at nothing to find the cold-blooded sniper who’s making a mockery of their department.

    Though referenced like a work of research, Brizedine's writing style is fully accessible. Brizendine provides a fascinating look at the life cycle of the female brain from birth ("baby girls will connect emotionally in ways that baby boys don't") to birthing ("Motherhood changes you because it literally alters a woman's brain-structurally, functionally, and in many ways, irreversibly") to menopause (when "the female brain is nowhere near ready to retire") and beyond. At the same time, Brizedine is not above reviewing the basics: "We may think we're a lot more sophisticated than Fred or Wilma Flintstone, but our basic mental outlook and equipment are the same." While this book will be of interest to anyone who wonders why men and women are so different, it will be particularly useful for women and parents of girls.

     Early studies of the functions of the human brain used a simple method: wait for misfortune to strike-strokes, seizures, infectious diseases, lobotomies, horrendous accidents-and see how the victim coped. In many cases survival was miraculous, and observers could only marvel at the transformations that took place afterward, altering victims' personalities. An injury to one section can leave a person unable to recognize loved ones; some brain trauma can even make you a pathological gambler, pedophile, or liar. But a few scientists realized that these injuries were an opportunity for studying brain function at its extremes. With lucid explanations and incisive wit, Sam Kean explains the brain's secret passageways while recounting forgotten stories of common people whose struggles, resiliency, and deep humanity made modern neuroscience possible.
