10 Reasons Not To Read Chasing Eliot Ness

If you're too faint hearted, if you like a sweet and sappy romance....this isn't the book for you. If you're looking for the "sensitive man" type - you won't find him here.

Nor is this biography of Ness, although it's probably just as close to anything as you can get. His bio was made up by Oscar Fraley. His real biography was put together by what dead people said about him. No one really knew the real Eliot Ness.

But for those of you who want to fantasize about the 1930s and what life was like back then, this book can take you back. Those of you who want a romance and aren't sure if this is the book for you....read on!

10 Reasons Not To Read Chasing Eliot Ness

1. You want to know the ending of the book before you begin. You're afraid there might not be a HEA. You'll be happy, but you'll have a heck of a time getting there.

2. You don't understand 1930s slang. I have a guide on my Amazon page that can help you figure this out.

3. You are offended by smoking, drinking and drug use

4. You are offended by a hero who might slap a woman across the face and want to stick to those good old rules made by the RWA (remember - this book is written from the perspective of a 1930s woman - things were different and he is really sorry).

5. You like Al Capone and don't want him portrayed as anything other than the beer giving, soup kitchen opening, sweet fun guy he was

6. Forced seduction is a NO-NO! You're offended!

7. You want a sweet, self sacrificing and totally non-realistic female protagonist. You don't want a Scarlett O'Hara.

8. You only want the female protagonist to have sex with one guy - the hero.....sorry

9. You can't hold up a 574 page book because of some physical condition

10. You are easily offended by swearing and blasphemy that one of the characters uses, even to the point of dropping a couple of F bombs (not the hero).

If you're not easily offended, if you want something different, if you're tired of picking up a romance book and knowing the end before you start reading the formula (forgive me - writing) then you might like this book. If not.....well, that's just jake, too.
