READ THIS: Second Honeymoon By James Patterson and Howard Roughan Our Coverage Sponsored by Paul Mayer Attitudes
Paul Mayer's luxuriously, comfortable designs keep women coming back for multiple -- even dozens -- of pairs. Classic, yet contemporary and always comfortable, his shoes are an addiction that we highly recommend. A staple of the Paul Mayer collection is the simple ballet-flat, with true ballerina construction for a perfect fit that comes in a variety of colors and materials. A cult favorite is the cozy, a flat with lavender-scent infused soles adding style and fragrance to collector's closets as Paul's designs emerge in sophisticated design incarnations season after season in the most incredible hues, textures and modern innovations in luxury footwear because we know firsthand how incredibly brilliant he is. Mayer founded the brand in 2004 with partner, Jeff Levy. All shoes in the line are manufactured in Spain’s Valencia region, along the Mediterranean coast by a skilled staff of 12 artisans. They craft each pair of shoes with an old-world attention to detail that includes in-house embroidery, quilting and stitching as well as custom tanned leather. This allows the brand to cater to each retailer’s specific demands in with timely and consistent alacrity, with orders completed in an unheard-of 3 to 5 weeks. In 2011, Paul Mayer stepped out into Manhattan's Upper East Side with a new attitude, opening his flagship store at 1388 Third Avenue. The store which cleverly resembles a pink and black shoebox offers up to 150 shoe styles, including his popular ballerinas, exclusive designs and more. As an added bonus, shoppers have the chance of running into the designer, himself. Paul's sage shopping advice and style eye has made him the New York shoe lover's best kept secret. When not in New York, Paul can be found traveling to his myriad of stores across the country meeting his loyal clientele or vacationing in his favorite spot, the Royal Hawaiian on Waikiki Beach.

There is no good reason why this superlative author has not been featured in 2 years other than the fact we've been writing a lot ourselves. Admittedly we need to stay on top of his releases better!
Islands near and afar punctuate the opening of this work, and what happens with the Breslows will be a stunner, as is the shot heard earlier. Acute detail in both action and background information paint pictures in your head and reading a book with this much talent behind it is like watching a blockbuster on the big screen in 3-D.
A line we love especially:
"He got enough of that in the L.A. bars, where he would hit on women with the deft touch of a wrecking ball."
You'll love and hate certain characters of course. We loved hating the insecure guy who knew his FBI trained girlfriend could outdo him.
Things are not always as they appear, we'd agree, but we know when the name James Patterson appears on the book cover we've got a clincher in our hands that will be loved! Turn off your computer, turn off your phone, put on some SPF and pick up this book!!!
Second Honeymoon by James Patterson and Howard Roughan is Highly Recommended by Whom You Know! Do not go to the beach, lake or pool without it!
