Xpress Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA In fiction, Diane Chamberlain's The Stolen Marriage "demands the reader to race, yet savor, the journey to the finale.... Secrets, intrigue, mystery, love, forgiveness, and drama—it’s all here. And it is riveting." In nonfiction, the ninth edition of How To Grow More Vegetables (and Fruits, Nuts, Berries, Grains, and Other Crops) Than You Ever Thought Possible on Less Land with Less Water Than You Can Imagine, by John Jeavons, helps readers grow "a more productive garden that ultimately will lead to a more healthy environment for us all." And in e-originals, Dirty Boxing, by Tara Wyatt and Harper St. George, "will have broad appeal for readers of sexy contemporary romance, not just those who have an interest in [mixed martial arts fighting]."
