Contribution of Tourism to Gross Domestic Product
The number of Domestic Tourist Visits to all States/Union Territories (UTs), including the visits for religious and medical purpose, has increased to 161.4 Crore in 2016 from 143.2 Crore in 2015, registering a growth of 12.7% in 2016 over 2015.
The number of Foreign Tourist Visits to all States/UTs, including the visits for religious and medical purpose, has increased to 2.5 Crore in 2016 from 2.3 Crore in 2015, registering a growth of 5.9% in 2016 over 2015.
The number of Foreign Tourist Arrivals, as differentiated from Foreign Tourist Visits, in India has increased to 88.0 lakh in 2016 from 80.3 lakh in 2015, registering a growth of 9.7% in 2016 over 2015.
As per the information available for the current year, the number of Foreign Tourist Arrivals in India during January-June 2017 were 48.8 lakh registering a growth of 17.2% over the same period of 2016.
As per the 2nd Tourism Satellite Account (TSA) of India - 2009-10 and subsequent estimation, the contribution of tourism to total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) during 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12 and 2012-13 were 6.77%, 6.76%, 6.76% and 6.88% respectively
The major schemes operated by the Ministry of Tourism for development and promotion of tourism in the country are given below:
- Swadesh Darshan - Integrated Development of Tourist Circuits on Specific Themes
- National Mission for Pilgrimage Rejuvenation and Spiritual Augmentation Drive (PRASAD)
- Overseas Promotion and Publicity including Market Development Assistance
- Assistance to IHMs/FCIs/IITTM/NCHMCT
- Domestic Promotion and Publicity including Hospitality
- Capacity Building for Service Providers
- Computerization and Information Technology
Tourism is a demand based concept defined not by its output but by its use. It consumes the output of various industries like Passenger Transport (Air/ Rail/Road), Hotels & Restaurants, etc. The initiatives taken by the Ministry to boost tourism in the country under various schemes would in turn benefit the various service industries by way of increasing demands and inter-alia direct and indirect employment generation.
This information was given by Dr. Mahesh Sharma, Minister of State for Culture and Tourism (Independent Charge) in a written reply in Lok Sabha today.

"Mega Man X Street Fighter?" How About Some "Rock'em Sock'em Rockman" Instead?/
by Razorsaw With Street Fighter X Mega Man coming soon, and the Archie comics crossover with Sonic the Hedgehog looming in just a few short months, it seems that the Mega Man fandom's thoughts are all on the concept of Mega Man taking on other franchises. However, one should not forget the franchise's roots, and in our case, that's robots beating up other robots.
So in the spirit of characters beating the stuffing out of each other, we at The Mega Man Network would like to give focus to KodyKoala.com's Rock'em Sock'em Robots custom, featuring Mega Man and Proto Man. This impressive work allows one to recreate the epic battles of Mega Man 3... except in a boxing ring, and with a lot more face punching.
KodyKoala.com features a number of other toy customs, many of them based on video games and including several other Mega Man-themed creations. Give them a look, won't you? Thanks to Vince__Patrick on Twitter for bringing this to our attention!

So I am learning more about blogging and have decided it was time to change the name of this place where I meet with friends about quilting and the other joys of life. So, what do you think? Here are my feet and and here is my favorite place to quilt this summer, weather permitting. It gives me the opportunity to also enjoy the birds in the yard, especially the hummers, Yellow Warblers and the American Goldfinches.
It is too warm today for deck quilting, so I am thankful for the cool air inside the house. Hope you are enjoying your Sunday, wherever you are this fine day!

For the last 20 years the market for Australian Indigenous artefacts has shown steady growth with objects of beauty, rarity and a solid provenance in strong demand among a focused group of collectors and institutions.
The market has broadened over the past several years with artefacts now being viewed as artworks in their own right. Taking the form of a shield, club, boomerang or any other tool developed over generations to cope with the harsh Australian environment, these objects, when placed in a gallery or private collection, easily hold their own form alongside paintings and other sculpture.
While each piece was made with a practical purpose (or several), they were often adorned with spiritual symbolism and patterns that served to strengthen the users faith in their tool. This, combined with the simplicity and highly functional design of each hand-crafted piece, makes the Indigenous artefact a truly beautiful thing to hold and behold.
Unlike with paintings and other sculpture, where provenance establishes a clear line from current owner to the artist, provenance associated with artefacts is desirable but not 100% necessary - a good artefact is what it is. A trained eye can spot a fake from a mile away – so it is vitally important to get trusted advice before embarking on any major purchase.
As you would expect though, a great provenance can add significant value to an artefact. For example, in 2013 while I was at Sotheby's, I consigned this group of artefacts formerly from the Collection of Roderick Kilborn. The group was estimated and auctioned at AU$15,000-20,000 but when combined with the exceptional provenance (ex-Kilborn family) they sold to an Australian institution for over $75,000.
This rare shovel and club below have an interesting provenance; they were collected by a train driver working on the line from Menindee to Sydney in 1930 (though these artefacts would predate this considerably).
The shovel is particularly rare. It has been made with one piece of wood, cut in its basic shape from the outer trunk of a tree and then painstakingly chiselled along the grain to achieve the curved head. As well as the thin sharpened end, designed for digging soil, the handle would also have been used for digging for food such as edible tubers, small marsupials, reptiles, termites and honey ants. The shovel appears to have an animal fat (emu?) rubbed all over it, which when traditionally applied would help preserve the timber from drying out - making it waterproof.
I am asserting that it is most likely that the pair were carved by the same traditional owner.
Nineteenth century artefacts like these, made of wood, bark or any other organic material, are rare because, when left in their natural environment, they inevitably break down over time. Older pieces that have survived intact were usually those found and collected by anthropologists or people who appreciated their inherent beauty and aesthetic.
These days good pieces can still be bought for as little as AU$1,000 depending on their age, rarity and condition (the artefacts I am offering this month range between AU$1,000 – 10,000).
If you are interested in collecting, look for early artefacts – nineteenth century or earlier – with stone-carved designs and beautiful form. The keys to a good investment are rarity (age) and beauty (form) combined with a historically significant provenance (traceability). Above all – get good advice.
Like any artwork, if kept in a stable environment, Indigenous artefacts will provide satisfaction, enjoyment and steady growth in value for many years to come.

In recent years Autumn Statements and Budgets have meant big changes to pensions. This year's Autumn Statement was quieter, but some changes were announced.
Automatic enrolment minimum contribution rates
The government will delay the next two scheduled increases in automatic enrolment minimum contribution rates by six months each, to align these changes with the start of the tax year. This means that the total contribution rate will increase from 2% to 5% in April 2018, rather than October 2017. The full 8% contribution will now come into effect in April 2019. Further details about automatic enrolment are available here and here.
Secondary market for annuities
The government is continuing with its proposal to create a secondary market for annuities, allowing individuals to sell their annuity income stream. The government will set out further details on this measure, including the framework for the consumer protection package, in its consultation response this December. This legislation will be introduced in the Finance Bill 2017.
Local Government Pension Scheme
There are currently 89 separate funds in the LGPS, and the government wishes to pool these into 6 'British Wealth Funds', each containing at least Ł25 billion of Scheme assets. The government is now inviting administering authorities to come forward with their initial proposals for pooling by 19 February 2016, with final proposals by 15 July 2016.
Inheritance Tax
The government will legislate to ensure a charge to inheritance tax will not arise when a pension scheme member designates funds for drawdown but does not draw all of the funds before death. This will be backdated to apply to deaths on or after 6 April 2011 and closes a loophole in the legislation.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.

McAlpin leads Alps ascent
Matt McAlpin led the quintet of Irishmen who will join Alan Dunbar at next week's final stage of the Alps Tour Qualifying School in Spain.
The Royal Portrush man shot a two under 70 at La Cala's America Course to finish tied for second in his section of the First Stage Qualifier on five under par.
The top 34 after 36-holes at each first stage venue qualified for the 54-hole second stage that begins on Monday. And McAlpin and the already exempt Dunbar will be joined there by Co Louth's Simon Ward, Headfort's Brian Casey, Newlands' Andy Hogan and France based amateur Thomas O'Driscoll.
Ward tied for fourth on the America course on three under after a 73 with Casey (75) tied 13th on one over and Hogan (76) joint 22nd on three over. America Scores
Ciaran Lavery missed out by six shots after a 79 at the same venue as O'Driscoll came through on the Asia Course, where he finished joint 22nd on six over after a pair of 75s. Asia Scores
Italy's Nunzio Lombardi topped the qualifiers on the Asia Course on eight under (68-68) while England's Martin Edge (69-69) was the top qualifier from America, edging out McAlpin and former British Amateur runner-up John Gallagher (he lost to Brian McElhinney in the 2005 final) by a stroke on six under.
The top 65 and ties will make the 36-hole cut at the Final Stage with the leading 35 and ties after 54 holes earning Category 6 Membership on the Alps Tour for 2014.
The players ranked between the 36th and 70th will earn Category 8 membership.

City Beat
Huge old tree in Elmhurst enters final days
The old tree in Elmhurst is coming down.
An enormous tree that has stood for decades on the T Street parkway near 41st Street in Sacramento is scheduled to be cut down in early July, city arborist Tim Dailey said. Dailey said it's unclear whether the tree suffers from Dutch elm disease but that city crews have spent days cutting away dead branches from the tree.
The tree had been known for years by a 50-foot-long branch that curved toward the ground like a giant arm. That branch was removed last year due to fears that it would break off and injure someone.
Residents of Elmhurst have called the tree the "hugging tree" or "elbow tree" because of that branch. Families have posed in the tree's shadow for holiday photographs, and generations of children climbed on its branches. Last spring, a couple was married under the tree, and their story was the subject of a column in The Sacramento Bee. Dailey said he thinks the tree could be 100 years old.
"I believe it might have Dutch elm," Dailey said. "I just think it's been fighting it off for so long that it's dying piece by piece. It's finally time (to cut it down)."
The region's persistent drought conditions have also been brutal on trees, Dailey said. He said crews have been cutting away dried and dead limbs from trees all along T Street.
"These old mature elm trees, they're struggling right now," he said.
A notice was posted on the tree last week that it would be cut down some time after June 26. Dailey said the work would likely occur in the first two weeks of July.
The spot where the tree stands won't be vacant for long. Dailey said city crews could plant another tree in its place as early as October.
"We have an aging urban forest, and people don't like to see them go," he said. "But the sooner we can plant a tree for the next generation, the better."

This past weekend, our little family of three (almost four) decided to escape the city for a little fresh air in Upstate NY. We explored the town of Beacon and settled down at a nice little spot on the Hudson that we found on Airbnb in the town of Rosendale. It was a lot of fun to tour around some unfamiliar places, try new restaurants, window shop, and hike new trails. The Wallkill Valley Rail Trail was a perfect hike for a prego mama and a newly hiking toddler. Nice and flat! We had a gorgeous view of the trestle bridge right across from our place, and the town of Rosendale was only steps away. It was a lovely get-a-way and it was so nice to spend some time in the great outdoors.

Buying a knife: It's the most important decision you can make in the kitchen. And everything you know is wrong.
As L.A. Times food editor Russ Parsons put it, "There are only two really important decisions in a cook's life: choosing a mate and buying a chef's knife. If that seems like an overstatement, you just haven't found the right knife."

Squad news
25 Aug 2016
Garitano has again a full squad available for la liga; the rival is coming from losing and is pending to complete the squad after a moved transfer window.
For the second straight week coach Gaizka Garitano has a full squad available for a liga meeting. Attacker Marlos Moreno joined the trainings one week ago and is already working at the same pace than the group, but still needing time to adapt and its probable that he wont be picked for Fridays game against Real Betis (Benito Villamarín stadium, 20h45 CET).
Without novelties on the pitch, it seems that now the interest is in the transfer market. The window will be closed in one week and the interest is focused in what could happen with Sidnei Rechel and Lucas Pérez, the latter is now a target of Everton FC, but for now is expected to play in the second matchday.
At Real Betis, the club has been busy in the transfer market. They have invested 19 million so far, but still looking for reinforcements. They are currently trying to sign a centre-back and, like Deportivo, are also pending to not lose their top-scorer; this after <>Rubén Castro has been linked with a move to Qatar.
Centre midfielder Jonás Martínez is out of the game against Depor. The new signing suffered an ankle injury in the past meeting against FC Barcelona and will be sidelined for a month. It was expected that David López was going to replace him in the roster, the midfielder was about to sign coming from SSC Napoli, but the deal is blocked and the player wont be ready before Friday. Meanwhile, left-back Álex Martínez returns after been out with a muscle problem.

NFL Free Agency: San Diego Chargers Overpay Eric Weddle for PotentialJuly 28, 2011
The 2011 NFL free-agent frenzy has been off to a spectacular start.
The San Diego Chargers have retained a successful core of players and added a couple aging stars.
Eric Weddle was a high priority—maybe the Chargers' highest. A.J. Smith made a point to sign his young free safety, thus making Weddle the highest paid safety in the league.
It used to be that the best player was the highest paid, but now it is the most recent free agent.
How did Eric Weddle become the highest paid safety without appearing in one Pro Bowl?
Most often in the free-agent period, an agent must convince his client that he is an all-world talent and simultaneously convince a general manager that he needs his client's amazing abilities.
In 2003, David Boston's agent, Mitch Frankel, did an excellent job convincing Boston how good he was. Boston's head grew several hat sizes, and I'm pretty sure it is still growing today. The media became enamored with Boston, and most believed he was the best free-agent receiver in 2003.
Eric Weddle was a very sought-after free agent, so we are told by his agent, David Canter.
Canter allegedly had a list of teams pursuing his clients' services. However, when the auction started turning into a high-stakes game of "who wants to make Weddle a mega-millionaire?" most of the name-dropping fell off.
According to Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union Tribune, who spoke on the NFL Network, "To get Weddle, the Chargers fended off the Houston Texans, whose final offer was actually slightly richer than the Chargers'."
The numbers and the sources for this statement were not disclosed.
The Houston Texans have an awful defense, finishing last year 29th in points allowed, last place in passing yards allowed, and last place in touchdown passes allowed with 33.
The Texans need help. It's no wonder they are in the Asomugha stakes as well. Apparently, Houston will pay whatever it takes to buy a new secondary.
The San Diego Chargers, on the other hand, finished first in passing yards allowed.
A fierce pass rush led by Shaun Phillips and a solid cornerback tandem in Quentin Jammer and Antoine Cason may have a greater influence on those numbers than the free safety's piling up 96 total tackles.
That Weddle has improved and will continue to improve is the thinking behind "paying for potential."
Early in 2008, Weddle was beaten for a game-winning touchdown against the not-so-good Carolina Panthers at home.
Yet he finished the season with 105 solo tackles.
The last game (which happened to be in the playoffs) of the 2009-10 season, Weddle was victimized by Shawn Greene, who trucked the safety on his way to a touchdown. Sure, Antonio Cromartie could have slowed Greene down, but replays do not lie.
Weddle was the last man and he was run through like a lawn mower through grass.
In a loss in December 2010 to the Oakland Raiders, Marcel Reece jumped over Weddle to secure a first down.
Reese is hardly comparable to Bo Jackson.
Weddle disappeared against the Raiders, while fellow free-agent safety Michael Huff of the Raiders appeared to step his game up.
The San Diego Chargers like Eric Weddle. Weddle's a solid contributor and a team player.
However, the Chargers overpaid.
Weddle will make more money than other safeties that are physically superior. That being said, Weddle is a key ingredient in the makeup of a defense that played very well together last season.
Charger safeties now include Weddle, Bob Sanders, Darrel Stuckey, and Steve Gregory.
Without Weddle in that list, it sounds like this: former-great-now-injury-prone safety, unproven second-year player yet to start an NFL game, and physically incapable safety that was suspended for steroid use and is still slower and weaker than everyone else.
The Chargers needed Weddle. The price "jacking up" is on account of who believes whom.
If Canter didn't have an agency full of clients already, he sure should by now.
After signing Takeo Spikes earlier in the week, the Chargers must find another starting inside linebacker. By overpaying on Weddle, the Chargers may not be able to afford Kevin Burnett.
An option the Chargers should look into is former San Diego State linebacker Kirk Morrison.
Morrison is an excellent middle linebacker that would accept less money to play so much closer to home.
Shoring up the linebackers will help Weddle not have to make so many one-on-one tackles on running backs.

I know that sometimes it can be hard to look in the mirror and feel like you're enough.
Is my hair, body, and clothes
Good enough?
Having to adjust the way you walk or the way you talk to please them
It's even more difficult when the biggest critics are your parents
Maybe, if I talk like this or walk like this or do this or do that they won't say anything today
Maybe, just maybe
If I stay quiet at the right time and speak at the right time we won't argue today
Maybe, I won't go out today so they don't ask for details
If I lie, they'll know I'm lying..
If I tell the truth they'll still think I'm lying
They already think I'm "sinning"
I know that sometimes it can be hard to feel loved
Do they really love me for who I am?
Do they love me for who they want me to be?
Do they love me because they hope it's a phase?
Do they love me to put on a show?
Maybe it would've been easier if I was "normal."
But I can assure you
You are enough
You are loved
You are valuable
You are worthy
You are normal
more than that
You are extraordinary
You are courageous
and smart
You are beautiful
Simply Perfect

2013 Season I
Artist Statement
The search for Katya Grokhovsky's own narrative and "home" through the female migrant body is a persistent idea in her multidisciplinary practice. Profound sense of displacement pervades her creative thought process and she often utilizes her own body as a point of departure and frequently as the only instrument at her disposal. Acting as a transcendental device, the body is a tool in various mediums, such as performance and video, photography, sculpture, installation, drawing, painting and writing.
She relentlessly investigates the violent act of separation from one culture and frustrating necessary attempt to belong to another. Often mesmerized by the future promise of yet another place to conquer, she becomes conscious of the duality of the mind and body in the process. Whilst the mind clearly follows instructions to build a better stable secure life, the body wildly suppresses the sensory memory of a place once native. The liminal space between being there and being here becomes full of tense emptiness and possibilities. Within this space, themes of endurance, time, identity and gender constructions are explored through mining her own experience of life as a woman in the East and West under different political regimes. Post-performance, post-eventual residue and ephemera is often exhibited and in itself re-constructed as evidential presence of the fictional or factual event, once staged.
Artist Biography
Ukrainian born, Australian - bred interdisciplinary artist Katya Grokhovsky currently lives and works in New York, USA and Melbourne, Australia. She has an MFA in Sculpture (2011) from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, USA, a BFA in Painting (2007) from Victorian College of the Arts, Australia and a BA (Honours, 2000) in Fashion from Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Australia.
Grokhovsky is a recipient of many awards including Australia Council for the Arts ArtStart Grant (2013), NYFA (New York Foundation for the Arts) Mentoring Program for Immigrant Artists (2012), Freedman Traveling Scholarship for Emerging Artists, NAVA (National Association for The Visual Arts, Australia) (2007), and many others. She has participated in residencies at Santa Fe Art Institute, NM (2012), ChaNorth residency, NY (2012), chashama space to create residency, NY (2012), Wonderwomen, gaia studio residency, NJ (2012), Watermill Center International Summer Residency, NY (2011), PAF(performing arts forum) residency, France (2008) and many more.
Her work has been shown in numerous venues nationally and internationally including exhibitions and performances in New York, Chicago, Jersey city, Santa Fe, Rotterdam, Berlin, Melbourne and Sydney.
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body.

So I'm flirting with the idea of changing my store name, just so that it encompasses MORE... I don't work solely with silver, although it's still my fav... But I think I'm going through a mini-revolution. I'm discovering the value of other mediums, such as copper and even gold! Shocking, I know!
So far here are a few of my ideas and their pro/cons:
Metal Enso - keeping the Enso word for continuity; it's still a cool word with great meaning.
Enso Jewelry Design by JC - ...for those that have no idea it's a jewelry store...a little long tho.
Metals by JC - to the point?
JC (or JCM) Metals - letting go of Enso b/c people cannot pronounce it!
JCM (or JC) Jewelry Design - sounds too serious?
Metallic Adornments by JC (or JCM) - too long??
More later...can't think now...it's late!

She Bible
So I had no idea that one of my absolute favoritest (is that word?) design team opened up a store in SF! WOOHOO! She Bible makes the cutest dresses and tops... Trek to the city anyone? I love this, part of their fall/winter collection:
Just check out that cowl! I must kiss whoever invented the cowl neck. Beats disgusting turtle necks anyday. (I mean, hello? There is a reason why it's called that.) Anyways, this coat looks so incredibly warm and stylish!! It's made of fleece, proving that this fabric has more potential than the forever-recurring Old Navy jacket. I already own a few of She Bible's classic dresses and classic minis. I think I will try to save up and buy this bad boy! Now if only I could look like her...

Ok, so I've been a tad delinquent that last few months, but I'm back! Now that the crazy start of the school year is over, I can spend a little more time thinking about new things for the shop. Stay tuned for some new pieces. I am expanding my repertoire with some metalsmithing that involves a torch! Watch out!! :)

As part of the Etsyblogger monthly requirement, we get to visit and write about the month's Featured Etsyblogger. This lucky duck gets to bathe in the all the glory as hundreds of busy Etsybloggers write about his/her's store! So, this month's lucky duck is....drumroll please...... Createathought! Yay!, and congratulations!
If you browse the store, you'll find a plethora of paper goods as well as fun and inexpensive rings, or as she puts it "Naughty Secretary Jewelry." HA! I really like the rings, and you know that I'm partial to jewelry in general. Createathought's prices are super reasonable, if not even downright cheap! You ain't gonna break the bank on a bauble or two of hers. Check this one out.
This ring is exactly like it's namesake, bubbly and cute. I would definitely wear it. I also like this one:
I like the fun moons trapped inside the heart. It's called "I heart the moon." So if you haven't visited Createathought's store, be sure you do!

Summer Fun!!!
So, I've recently become a member of the EtsyBloggers community. They have a few requirements that must be met on occasion...kinda like homework! Here is my first blog entry for their "Blog Carnival"--basically a biweekly topic we choose to discuss.
The week after school gets out in mid-June, my husband and I are going to have our belated "real" honeymoon to Maui! YAY!! I was married last October, and it's pretty hard to take a honeymoon during the school year... especially when your wedding date falls within conference times. Luckily, I had some incredibly understanding parents, and they were extremely flexible. The school district, not so much, but that's a story for another day :)
We did get a few days after the wedding to ourselves, and we went up to Mendocino. However, we really wanted to take another trip this summer. We thought we'd do Europe, but it was so expensive at the time. While peeking at Expedia, I found an incredible hotel, airfare, car rental deal in Maui that I could not pass up. Thus, here we are many months later, and we are that much closer to it!! I have never been to Maui, and my husband has never been to Hawaii period. We are super excited about it, so if anyone has any great suggestions, please let us know! We plan to do some snorkeling, of course. We're going to be tourists and snorkel this crater off the coast called Molokini. We're also doing a zipline with Skyline Eco-Adventures in northern Maui, which I'm secretly terrified about. :P We still need suggestions on food and other fun activities, so if you're a pro, let us know!
As for after, there's the Etsy biz that I plan to work on--new types of necklaces, bracelets, rings perhaps. :) I am also planning a mini trip with my girlfriends to Vegas, just for some fun! We figure that we'd better get it in while we're still young without "responsibilities!"
In retrospect, my summer plans seem pretty fun--ha ha! I don't usually have great plans, so I am definitely looking forward to a month and a half of relaxing time for just me!

I have known this sweet Bride, Jenn, since she was in Elementary school when she was good friends with my little sister, so when she got engaged and contacted me, I was SO excited!! She was getting married at The Barn in Zionsville, and I have shot there several times and love it, so I was just thrilled all around to be a part of their special day.
What is just so special about this Wedding is how they included Jake's adorable daughter throughout so much of the day, which made for some super sweet photo ops. Jenn was not only saying 'I Do' to Jake, but to Olivia too. And that was so incredibly sweet to witness. I may have gotten choked up several times throughout the day just watching all the love swirling around.

Dr. Drew Demann
Manhattan Medicine
Contact info:
Melissa Lockwood
How many years have you been in business in NYC?
28 Years
How did you get your start and what was your initial inspiration?
My father was a holistic doctor. An incredible practitioner
What do you feel differentiates you from others in your field?
I try to get to the root of the problem rather than just address symptoms. That sounds simple but it often requires effort and the use of new technology like our new high resolution ultrasound imaging system which has a higher resolution than an MRI.
What do you feel gives you longevity in this big city with so many options?
Our office has been at our current location for over 40 years! We have continued to grow in both a tough health care environment and in a place with more doctors per capita then most. Our secret is simple. We believe in excellence. Those who strive to be the best always succeed no matter what the environment. As they old saying goes… "cream always rises to the top". We put premium on finding new options for patients to feel better and get better to things they love. Technologies like new stem cell injections and advanced non-invasive diagnostics. If you combine this with the fact that we have all the services you need (orthopedics, internal medicine, paint management, sports medicine, rehabilitation, physical therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture) in one place, this gives us the competitive edge that we enjoy.
How do you positively impact your clientele?
We care. Its that simple. We care about getting them back to the things they care about.
What is your favorite part of your job?
I love that it is always evolving. My practice very differently than it was 10 years ago and I am sure it will be different 10 year from now. I love my staff. They come to work everyday with an enthusiasm and focus that keeps me on my game. The final thing that I love the most about my job is that I get to be altruistic everyday. I get to care about others which I think gives me a purpose that is rare today.
What is your favorite secret NYC spot?
My backyard. We have a tiny townhouse backyard in the city which is one of my favorite little oasis when I want to make believe I am in country.
How do you benefit mamas?
I think we offer mothers the same thing that they want for themselves. We give them real solutions. We get them back on their feet fast so they can keep be the caregivers they need to be.
What is the most memorable feedback a client has given you?
I was walking to work yesterday and one of my recent patients literally stopped me while I rushing to get to the office and said…"I just want to tell you saved my life…" He went on to tell me if I when he came to me with his severe pain my workup was so thought that it eventually lead to him discovering a block artery in his heart which could have killed him if left untreated. While this was not the reason why he can to see me, our thoroughness lead to its discovery and literally saved his life. Things like that really affect you. I am happy to say I have had many of those moments during my career.
Pay it forward and name your top colleagues in the same field or related field:
Richard Sollazzo MD, one of my mentors in medicine. Dr Sean McCance, Chief of Spine Surgery at Mt Sinai.
What is the best advice anyone has ever given you? Or what is your "mantra" / words to live by?
Never stop learning. Education is a journey not a destination. If you keep asking questions and look for new answers you will always find amazement joy in life.
As moms, the day can escape us, what is your best time-saving trick?
Put down the phone, the computer and just sit and think for a few minutes everyday. Think about the singular thing that is important to in that moment and all the other "small things" will take a back seat. Its amazing how much time you save when you are forced to only focus on whats truly important. We all get the same 24 hours in a day. The real key is not to try and jam more into that brief period but rather focus on the few things that really need our attention. Our family. Our friends. Our own happiness. When you start with that simple "To Do List" it interesting how much more time you have!

This is my first book in the series and I'm ready for more. Both Jenna and Jack are interesting, well-developed characters with rough, realistic back stories. This isn't just a fluffy new adult romance. There was danger, serious drama, some pretty awesome sex, and a cast of colorful characters. Author, Chelsea Fine, does a great job of hooking us with clues. Clues about why Jenna keeps Jack at arms' length, why Jack has so many scars, how Jenna feels about Jack, and how Jack feels about Jenna. The conflict is almost constant which is how I like my stories. There are only two things that really kept this from being a five-star review for me. One is the fact that Jenna waffles way too much about her feelings and what she wants, seeming to revisit the same things over and over again. And the other is that there was so much potential for things to really go all kinds of wrong during the climax, and I think this could have been explored more fully than it was. Plot The main plot centers on Jenna and Jack and their on-again-off-again relationship. Jenna values the friendship, considering Jack to be her best friend. Jenna doesn't do relationships, so even though they have fantastic chemistry, she halted their physical relationship after the one and only time they slept together because she realized it could never be just sex with Jack. She'd rather keep Jack as a friend than risk anything more and lose him all together. Jack is crazy about Jenna and doesn't want to accept the status quo. He's determined to get her to change her mind. When both are called back home to Louisiana towns within a couple of hours of each other, Jack sees the road trip as a chance to change Jenna's mind. The main plot is good enough, but it's the subplot that takes this from just another new adult romance. Jack has a dark past he ran away from. A past that now threatens his family. As Jack tries to keep Jenna safely on the sidelines of his family drama, she realizes she cares enough about Jack to do what it takes to keep him safe. Characters Jenna and Jack are both very likable, intense, deep, flawed, and I couldn't help pulling for both of them. But what really works here is the supporting cast. Jenna's best friend, Pixie, Jack's brothers, his mother, they're all equally well rounded and are the kind of people you'd want to hang out with. No one comes across as two-dimensional or stereotypical. These deep, layered characters are what sets apart strong writing. Top Five Things I Loved About Right Kind of Wrong 1. Jack's mom. Oh my god, she's hilarious. I would totally love to hang out with her all the time. 2. Jack's past. He has one of the best back stories I've read in awhile. 3. Pixie. She's fun and wild and I can't wait to read her story. 4. NOLA. One of my favorite cities is the setting for some great scenes. 5. Road trips. Because when you put two people in an enclosed environment, sparks are bound to fly. Bottom Line Right Kind of Wrong is filled with wonderful characters, a solid romance, and a layer of danger that makes it a fun, fast read. Disclaimer I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Wow, this book had me not liking Jenna at all in the beginning. She was so controlling and didn't think she needed a man because men make you weak and they leave you. So watching Jenna transform and love Jack was so sweet. I love Chelsea Fine's books. She writes in a way that is so believable and makes you feel good inside that you just find yourself sighing at the end. We get 2 POV's which I like to know what they each think and feel. I bet if I met Jack in real life, he would be intimidating. He is all tattooed and muscled, and hot too, but he has such a sweet side and so full of love that I would be immediately calmed after meeting him. Or in another words,Jack may be intimidating as Hades but he is just a big teddy bear at heart. I wanted to slap Jenna for not letting go with him because Jack is a hot package! The suspense that is Jack's life and family also kept me on my toes waiting to find how he would help his family. He would die for them. Dang, I want me a Jack! So if you like tattoos, suspense, family, learning to overcome your fears, and lots of lovin' than this might be for you
About the book: Jenna Lacombe needs complete control, whether it's in the streets . . . or between the sheets. So when she sets out on a solo road trip to visit her family in New Orleans, she's beyond annoyed that the infuriatingly sexy Jack Oliver wants to hitch a ride with her. Ever since they shared a wild night together last year, he's been trying to strip away her defenses one by one. He claims he's just coming along to keep her safe-but what's not safe for her is prolonged exposure to the tattooed hottie. Jack can't get Jenna out from under his skin. She makes him feel alive again after his old life nearly destroyed him-and losing her is not an option. Now Jack's troubles are catching up to him, and he's forced to return to his hometown in Louisiana. But when his secrets put them both in harm's way, Jenna will have to figure out how far she's willing to let love in . . . and how much she already has. My review: This was so much better than books one and two. I seriously did not want to put it down. Getting to the thick of it: Jenna needs to go home. She thinks the reason could possibly be BS, but the road trip across a few states from college to her home is something she's willing to do. Well, toss in a man who drives her crazy and who she is insanely attracted to, oh, and make sure to throw in a past one night stand and watch the fireworks light up. Jack loves every minute of it. But all funny aside, he also wants to show Jenna just how much he cares. Only problem? Jenna doesn't want to hear any of it. This was a great read. Toward the tail end there was a lot of action going on, both internally with these characters, and externally. I can definitely say if you pick this book up, you won't want to put it down. Great read.
Very good read, loved jack, but I sometimes hated jenna. She kept getting on my last nerves, jack was trying to protect her, by trying to keep her out of harms ways, and she always wanted to tag alone, what the hell is wrong with her.
Complicated and Messy! I have been a fan of these two characters since Best Kind of Broken, especially the crazy, wild, and tatted Jenna. She's an amazing friend, a sassy and confident gal who doesn't believe in love. And it's that belief that pushes her to stay "just friends" with the one guy who makes her life interesting. She just underestimates her feelings for him and how badly she needs him in her life. The fact that she's distrustful of love and guys completely makes sense after knowing her background and past. But it took a REALLY long time for Jenna to realize that sometimes love is worth it. Sometimes, it could be the best thing that ever happens to you. I thought her character development was a little lacking, at least compared to Jack's. It takes her like the whole book to finally ask herself if losing what she could have with Jack is better than getting her heart broken like her mom and grandmother. But even they tell her that love is worth it. She is just so distrustful of guys and love that she keeps pushing him away. Jack. Oh, Jack. Strong, mysterious, quiet. Funny, determined, protective. All of those things and more make up this amazing guy. I was a fan of his small cameos in the first book, and I couldn't wait to learn more about him. His story was very...unexpected. But it just fit him. There is more to this "bad boy's" past than leaving home. There is more behind his tattoos and his silent disposition. He's been through a lot, and in this book, he'll have to face what he left behind. But Jenna won't let him do it alone. The chemistry between these two was obvious and the sexual tension delicious. Because of their personalities, it made for one sizzling read. And also, this one was a lot steamier than her other two books, which I found fit the two characters well. I loved that they had a foundation of friendship before the passion and intimacy. It made them have an even deeper connection. I don't know what I was expecting with Jenna's and Jack's story. But the direction the story took was quite surprising. I'm just not sure I was totally interested in it. I felt that it became more about Jack, his past, and what's happening now than about them. They did stick by each other through everything, and because of that, they grow closer than ever before. Through that, Jenna and Jack's relationship steadily becomes deeper. But I feel like Jenna's issues with love were left behind in favor of what was happening. I loved having cameos of the secondary characters. Pixie and Levi, Daren and Kayla. Ellen, too. And I so enjoyed the additions of both Jenna's and Jack's families. Especially her grandmother and his brother, Samson. Those relationships were developed well, and some of them brought even more color into an already bright book. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and I've loved following these characters as they stumbled through life, questioned their identity, made mistakes but grew as a person, and fell in love even if they didn't want it. Right Kind of Wrong was another wonderful book with a passionate love story and characters who found their way through the complicated and messy beginnings of adulthood.
I'd like to label this a fun road trip read, and it is, but this book became so much more and I enjoyed it from start to finish. It was quite obvious that Jenna and Jack were written in the stars. So different but so completely alike it was as if they were one soul torn in two, lost until they were together. As much as Jenna wanted to deny her feelings for Jack, there was no way of getting around them and I knew her mind would eventually have to accept what her heart already knew. For two people who were not a couple they certainly knew little things about each other's actions that most others probably wouldn't have paid enough attention to, and just like the green neon sign Jenna couldn't see, so she was blind to the perfect match that she and Jack made. This book started off light and fun, filled with sexual tension and smoking hot chemistry, and although the latter two were running elements throughout this story, once Jenna and Jack got to Louisiana this story took a darker turn. With drug dealing gangs, secrets and lies, this story was grittier than I was expecting, and the surprising twist only upped my excitement level. A great read with plenty of emotion!
This book was jointly reviewed by myself and my co-blogger, Becca! THE STORY: Becca: Chelsea Fine has done it again! Another amazing story with intense chemistry, awesome build up and LOL moments! I have been excited for Jack and Jenna's story ever since we meet both of then in Best Kind of Broken and then briefly in Perfect Kind of Trouble and OH BOY! Did Chelsea Fine deliver!! From the awesome road trip that we start out on that takes us to Jack's hometown and then Jenna's in New Orleans it is one jaw dropping, kindle gripping moment after another and I loved every single second! Lisa: ROAD TRIP!! Yes, as soon as I found out there would be a road trip involved in this book, which was very early on in the story, I was psyched. I have this total obsession with road trip books. Though this isn't actually a "road trip book", the fact that these two were going to be in a car together, staying in hotels and dealing with normal travel dramas, made me extremely happy. :) And that's how the first ten minutes of our "fun" road trip go down; with me snapping at him to shut it, and him defying me with a happy smile. Ten minutes down, twenty-one hours to go. This story was exactly what I was hoping it would be. The fact that we got to meet both families really brought this story home for me. These characters are so unique and fun… and to see the families that brought them up completely brought these two to life for me. I love that Chelsea Fine writes companion novels, rather than a straight series. That way you don't have to have read the others in the series first, but if you did, then you get the added bonus of them making cameo appearances in the other books. I really enjoyed seeing little glimpses of the Finding Fate crowd in this book. And the intense drama in this one! OH MAN! I wasn't expecting it. This story isn't all romance… it definitely takes a darker turn and has a few gripping moments that took my breath away. Jack's family is facing some very difficult times, and he's forced to go home and try to help them out of the danger ASAP. I was definitely surprised when all of the action took place. Half of the story had me on the edge of my seat. Well played, Chelsea, well played. Part trouble, part mystery. Playful and pensive. He's one of the few males on this planet I enjoy conversing with – when he's not being a dickhead, of course. THE CHARACTERS: Lisa: Jenna and Jack won me over in Perfect Kind of Trouble. I adored Jenna's spunky and somewhat snarky exterior. She had such an incredibly sad vision of how life and love turns out, based on how her own family has ended up. She didn't believe in love or happiness. She felt she, alone, had to make her life into something successful. She was terrified of love getting in the way. "Love isn't an obedient whim. It's an unruly force, and it answers to no one." Then we have Jack, who's overly confident and extremely sure of himself. He had no trouble admitting his feelings. He also had a shady home life, filled with all kinds of stressful drama and intense situations that really had us gripping our Kindles til our fingers ached. These two definitely fought their connection tooth and nail, neither one giving in to each other. Two strong personalities that really had me hooked. Becca: I agree with Lisa on everything and two strong personalities is right! These two had me rolling on the floor laughing as they constantly tried to outdo one another. I absolutely loved the chemistry between them! "No one in their right mind would try to provoke you, Jenna. You're like a caged cat in heat. All claws and teeth. You're already provoked- and you have been since the moment I met you. So why don't you calm down and get back on the freeway." He looks around "Where are we anyway?" "Oh I'll tell you where we are." I point a finger in the air and lift my chin… "we're at your final destination." Ha Ha Ha this was just one moment, but there are so many! These two are perfect together and apart. They are my favorite type of character, fun, strong, sarcastic and flawed. I could seriously gush and gush all day :) The other characters in this book are perfect too! Jack's brothers and Mother are so genuine and such good people who have fallen on bad times. Jenna's Mother, Grandmother and sisters are funny and warm and so endearing. I loved her cousins too, they had me cracking up… "What if you get lost?" What if you get robbed?"Callie says. "What if you get eaten?" Alyssa adds in a low voice… "I don't want anyone to eat you." OMG Chelsea Fine – how do you make me fall in love with all of your characters!? OVERALL: Becca: Chelsea Fine impressed me with this story because it was very different from the others. Don't get me wrong I loved all three books. This one was different from the others because it was so sarcastic and funny, then dramatic and edgy and finally heart-warming. It had it all! I really enjoy companion novels and I am still holding out for Ellen's story. I love how she has been such an integral part of each couples journey and I think that she deserves her own. Overall I just loved everything about this book and the entire Finding Fate series. After I read all 3 books I feel like I am a part of the Willow Inn family and Chelsea Fine is definitely on my list of Must Read Authors!! "I want to be with you he says "Because I hurt when you hurt. and I'm happy when you're happy – and not because you have control over me, but because I love you. And I like loving you." Lisa: Helen's story!! YES! I would absolutely love that. We really get to know her in all three of these books, especially Best Kind of Broken. But even in this story, we're left with a hope that Helen will find more in her life soon. Please, Chelsea, show us Helen's world a bit more? *fingers crossed* I totally agree with Becca that this series really makes us feel like part of the Willow Inn family. This group of characters is all so unique, yet heart-warming and welcoming. I love them all! Definitely a favorite series of mine. Way to go, Chelsea! This is a must-read series for anyone that enjoys the New Adult genre. It's overloaded with sexy scenes and fillers. It's the perfect combination of real-life situations and drama, a dash of suspense, a few issues, wonderful romance, and tons of fun! (Thanks to Forever Romance for the review copy!)
"Love is the absence of control and the presence of faith. And you won't truly be happy until you surrender to it." I have been really excited for Jack and Jenna's book for quite some time now. After meeting them in Best Kind of Broken, I was hoping we would get their story because I love the whole good friends turning more arc. Chelsea's stories always leave my heart so happy and full. Her characters are relatable and fun, and she creates such delicious sexual tension between them that you feel as if you are going to burst at the seams yourself from wanting the two to realize their feelings for one another! Jack and Jenna have become good friends since starting college life in Arizona. However, their friendship is currently.... well, a bit awkward. After spending the night together the previous year, they still have not discussed what happened between them. Which definitely makes for some weird moments, especially when it's obvious they are thinking about the night's events. Jenna refuses to acknowledge what happened and Jack won't bring it up. Therefore, the two are stuck in friend limbo. A road trip back to Louisiana will force the two to reexamine their friendship and feelings for one another, as they can't deny the simmering attraction between them. Jenna Lacombe is one stubborn girl. So stubborn in fact, that I wanted to slap her a few times for being crazy. She has this great, sexy guy who happens to be someone she can trust implicitly and yet, she pushes him away because he's not a part of 'the plan'. Jenna craves control. She has seen firsthand the effects of what loving a man can do from her mother and she refuses to follow down that same path. Jenna only allows herself to see the negative effects of her mom's single-parenting. Her grandmother tries to help put things in perspective for her, but ultimately Jenna will have to see that allowing herself the chance to love doesn't mean her life will turn out the same way. Jack, on the other hand, wants to have a relationship with Jenna. There's no doubt in his mind the two shared a connection that night together and he wants that again. He is frustrated that Jenna acts like that night never happened and I think he's a bit hurt as well. He is a good guy with a big heart and Jenna is a crazy person for not embracing that sooner than she did. I like the sub plotline with Jack's family. He has taken on a lot of responsibility, being the eldest son in the family. Being back home, he realizes pushing his family away the way he did was not right and I'm glad we got to see him realize that and want to make things right. His family history is not the cleanest and he has some history of his own that he is not proud to admit. Catching a ride with Jenna so he can get back home to help them seems ideal at the time, but he never wanted Jenna to get involved with his past, let alone find out the things he had to do. He is sure she will freak out and run for the hills and he'll lose her forever. As I said earlier, Fine creates some amazing sexual tension between her characters and this book is no exception. In fact, I think it may be the hottest of all three in the series! I loved seeing and feeling their connection to one another. Jenna wants to let Jack in, but she is terrified of the after effects. He makes her feel and she knows she's in love with him. She just can't bring herself to admit that to him, which hurts him and frustrates him, as he sees it too. They have such great banter together also. They fight and piss each other off, but it's just a front to their real feelings for one another. They fight passionately, because they love passionately and that is what makes it all the more exciting. "A voice is an inescapable lover, unbidden and undeniable. You cannot unhear an enticing phrase or a whispered word, just as you cannot unfeel the heated breath that accompanies such things. And Jack's voice, especially when saying my name, is my total undoing." Fans of the series will be happy to see Daren, Kayla, Ellen, Pixie, and Levi make small appearances. They don't play huge roles, but just enough to give us some insight as to how they are doing, which I'm always glad for. Overall, I loved this one. I love Jack and Jenna together and how they are a support for one another. They are true friends to the core and it makes me giddy to see a romance form out of such a friendship. I enjoyed the storyline, felt the connection between the characters, and I cannot wait for whatever Fine does next!
Chelsea Fine has totally done it again! In her newest addition to her Finding Fate series, Right Kind of Wrong, Chelsea takes us back to Arizona with her beautifully developed characters and their stories. Bringing back my favorites, Pixie, Levi, Daren and Kayla, as well as the beloved Ellen, I was in love with the story from the beginning. In this story, she develops in more depth the exotically eccentric Jenna Lacombe and the hard core Jack Oliver. Both being from Louisiana, Jenna and Jack shared an instant attraction. They met a few years ago working in the same bar in Arizona and have been inseparable, until that one night last winter when they succumbed to the desires they both felt for each other. Jack Oliver moved to Arizona to start over. To leave behind his old life, where he could be a new person, a different person and finish his education to become a counselor. After moving so far from home, fate threw him a curveball by the name of Jenna Lacombe. Who would've thought that moving so far away from home to meet the love of his life, when the one girl who captured his heart was always only a few hours away from where he grew up in Louisiana. Jack has such a strong heart for love and like everything else in his life does is passionately. Although, even though he knows how he feels and wants Jenna so badly, she has a plan which he's not part of. Jenna Lacombe grew up poor and without a father in New Orleans. Her mother and grandmother have always been there to help take care of her, but she vowed that she would never love or depend on a man because her plan was she would make a life of her own, on her own. But love has a way of slamming into you when you least expect it or when you want it. That's what happened when she met Jack Oliver. Since then, she has been trying to keep herself from falling and drowning in everything Jack. However, when fate has them taking a cross country trip together back to NOLA, things begin to awaken in her and she will never be the same again. Will Jack and Jenna keep fighting the love they have? Can Jenna stop fighting her instincts by sticking to her "plan"? Read this book!!!! It is an amazing story, like all the rest of Chelsea's novels. These characters will entrap you in their saga and keep you on a perpetual pendulum of need. I can't wait to see who will be next in the Finding Fate series. I'm rooting for Ellen! Again, another beautiful story, Chelsea! ~TSRBR Hero - 5.0 stars Heroine - 4.5 stars Steam Level: 4.5 stars Plot: 4.5 stars Cliffhanger: No Would I recommend this book: Yes! This book will drive you crazy and then take you to a place of contentment and peace. Would I read other books by this author: Yes! I can't begin to express the beautifully written stories that Chelsea Fine has created! She is a master at her craft! I totally love everything she writes! ***Received an ARC of this book from the Author in exchange for an honest review***
Chelsea Fine is quickly becoming one of my favorite new adult authors and it's because of the books in the Finding Fate series. I loved both Best Kind of Broken and Perfect Kind of Trouble. (Though, personally, I preferred PKoT to BKoB.) Now I can say Chelsea's done it again with Right Kind of Wrong. Right Kind of Wrong is Jenna and Jack's story. We know they have a past (even though we don't know *exactly* what happened at the beginning) and there's a pretty strong attraction to each other. Now their past is about to collide with their present as they embark on a road trip from Arizona to Louisiana, where they grew up fairly close to each other. I loved Jenna. I loved Jack. Together, they were damn near perfection. The air around them snapped and crackled with sexual tension and something MORE. In a slight role reversal, Jack was more than happy to admit the feelings he had for Jenna, but she was closed off. Determined not to make the same mistake her mother did, Jenna avoided relationships. She had a plan and romance wasn't part of it. Scared she would ultimately give up her dreams for the dreams of a significant other, she hooked up and kept things light and avoided things when they started to get serious. Jack was serious. The connection between them was strong and it frightened her. So, she avoided him. Which worked pretty well until they embarked on their road trip. Then things got interesting. Jack's family drama was surprising to me. I wasn't expecting something quite like it in this book. But, it worked. It kept me on the edge of my seat, waiting to see how it would all shake out in the end. There were some pretty tense moments along the way and the suspense added another layer to my enjoyment of the book. In addition to these moments, there were some seriously sexy scenes. With the sexual tension between Jack and Jenna, I figure things would get hot when they finally gave in. I just didn't know how hot. Dang. Right Kind of Wrong was a fantastic book. Once I started it, I couldn't even think of putting it down. The dynamic between the characters sucked me in from the start. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and appreciated watching both of them grow throughout the story. Jenna's transition was the most powerful to me, though. She was so strong and so independent and had her walls up so high. I enjoyed watching Jack chip away at them bit by bit until they crumbled all together. I appreciated most that she didn't change for HIM, but for herself. With the help of strong women around her, she realized you can have it all – when it's right. And it was right with these two. I received a copy of this book from the publisher, via NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.
Wonderful chemistry! I received an advance reader edition of this book from Forever Grand Central Publishing and Net Galley for the purpose of providing an honest review. 4.5 Stars I guess it is official....I love Chelsea Fine's writing. I have had the chance to read exactly 3 books written by Chelsea Fine and have enjoyed each and everyone of them. I literally consumed this book. I ended up reading the whole book in a single day. I had a lot of fun with this quick, easy read. This book is the third book in the Finding Fate series but it could very easily be read as a stand alone novel. This book focuses on Jenna and Jack. We first met Jenna in Best Kind of Broken. She became best friends with Pixie in college, where they are roommates. Jenna and Jack are friends who met through working at the local bar. They are both drawn to each other and have acted on that one time but have never talked about it. Jenna is determined to not get herself involved in any kind of relationship. When Jenna's mom calls to tell her that her grandmother thinks that the end may be coming (which she apparently does every year or two), she decides a road trip home to New Orleans is in order. It just so happens that Jack is from a small town near New Orleans and his family is in the middle of a crisis. One thing leads to another, and the pair are off on a road trip together. During the road trip, they learn quite a bit about each other and their feeling for one another. Without question, Jack made this story. His character was loving, funny, and fierce when needed. He was not afraid to say what he felt and he was willing to risk everything for his family. I found that I liked Jenna but wanted to smack her a few times. She was so hung up on her master plan that she refused to see what was right in front of her. The chemistry between the characters was amazing. I actually felt that they needed to be together. I would definitely recommend this book to others. Chelsea Fine's writing is well thought out with a plot that keeps the reader engaged in the story. I plan to continue reading this series and hope to read other works by this author.
