National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist From the acclaimed, award-winning author of Alexander Hamilton here is the essential, endlessly engrossing biography of John D. Rockefeller, Sr.--the Jekyll-and-Hyde of American capitalism. In the course of his nearly 98 years, Rockefeller was known as both a rapacious robber baron, whose Standard Oil Company rode roughshod over an industry, and a philanthropist who donated money lavishly to universities and medical centers. He was the terror of his competitors, the bogeyman of reformers, the delight of caricaturists--and an utter enigma. Drawing on unprecedented access to Rockefeller's private papers, Chernow reconstructs his subjects' troubled origins (his father was a swindler and a bigamist) and his single-minded pursuit of wealth. But he also uncovers the profound religiosity that drove him "to give all I could"; his devotion to his father; and the wry sense of humor that made him the country's most colorful codger. Titan is a magnificent biography--balanced, revelatory, elegantly written.Binding Type: Paperback

Sizzling
Format: Kindle
This book has some of the hottest sex scenes I’ve read, and I’ve read a few. The beauty of it is that they were not gratuitous, or ill placed. It all worked because the characters were well developed and believable. I didn’t think stranded on a desert island could be hot and sex for all of the practical reasons you can think of. The talent of the writing is that it extends beyond that to closeness, fear, companionship in a way that rounds the storyline out. The road isn’t easy for the MCs and that makes for an exciting read. I didn’t give five stars for the copious grammar and editing errors. Also, the author had me invested hook, line, and sinker but then rushed the ending. The grand gesture is made less grand by the choppy scene that preceded it. It spoiled what could have been an extremely romantic ending.

Another winner!
Format: Kindle
This is the 3rd book that I've read by this author, & everyone of them scored a 5 star review. The only negative on this book, is that the ending seemed rather abrupt. Hopefully, there will be a continuation of this story.
