SYNOPSIS:
Selena Di Angelo kept a secret diary – but no one knew it. But it is in the pages of her diary where Selena records privately her deepest feelings—and the truth about her stunning rise from the slums of Naples to the heights of the International Cosmetic World. She writes of her triumphs and shattering disappointments, her family, her inspiration, her feeling for her collaborators and her secret passions.

REVIEWS:
In real life, strong women aren't hard to find. I am surrounded by them. In books, they seem tough to locate. This is why M.E. Hecht and Countess Lucienne von Doz’s book is such a treat for me. In Ceilings, they write about Selena Di Angelo, a strong, competent, intelligent business woman. They write of her triumphs and shattering disappointments, her family, her inspiration, her feelings and her secret passions.

It has quite a few intimate and adventurous love scenes; men with women, women with women, and setting descriptions that are embroiled in sights, sounds, aromas, and taste; are vivid and add to the unique love scenes done tastefully -- explicit to be sure -- but rooted in adventure, intrigue, desire, sensuality, love, respect, and faithful companionship.

All of us wonder about who we are and want to be and how that meshes with who our other is and wants to be. In Ceilings, The Story of Selena D, one exceptional woman explores those questions with passion and intellect. What more could a romance reader, indeed a reader, want?
Thanks for a great read!
