If there is anyone still even reading this and even remotely interested in said book that released poorly, here is da link. http://www.amazon.com/Pulled-Back-Again-Three-ebook/dp/B00F61TYZK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1379688594&sr=8-3&keywords=danielle+bannister+kindle
Also, side note, PULLED is FREE, so if you have a friend, or a cousin, an aunt who likes to read, a squirrel with a powered up kindle, here’s that link: http://www.amazon.com/Pulled-Twin-Flames-Trilogy-ebook/dp/B005MY4SXO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1379688594&sr=8-1&keywords=danielle+bannister+kindle

Just to let you know, I ordered a paper copy from Amazon a few days ago and it arrived yesterday. Unfortunately, my computer (or should I say my operating system) is not Kindle friendly.
so YOU’RE the one who bought my book?
Yes…and mow I get to read it.
