    About this ebook

    Readers and reviewers alike have fallen in love with Michael Baron's work from the publication of his very first book. "Nicholas Sparks fans will rejoice," said RT Book Reviews of When You Went Away. "Mr. Baron touches my heart and soul," said Coffee Time Romance in its review of Crossing the Bridge. Genre Go Round Reviews called The Journey Home "a great family drama," while CMash Loves to Read said that Spinning was "an engrossing read that pulls on your heartstrings and doesn't let go, even after you read the last page."With Anything, Michael Baron again draws readers into a world of deep emotion, compelling relationships, and heartfelt humor, and this time he adds a touch of fantasy. Ken and Melissa are at the dawn of a magnificent life together. A passionate romance has led them to the doorstep of marriage. While searching for the perfect wedding present for Melissa, Ken stumbles into a mysterious shop. There, he is given an extraordinary opportunity – to look in on Melissa when she was a girl. Ken has always wished he could have known Melissa from the day she was born and this seems like an incredible blessing.Until he discovers a terrible secret in Melissa's past, one so awful she has found it impossible to mention to him.Now Ken has another extraordinary opportunity. He can go back in time and change the horrible event that has left an indelible mark on Melissa. He can free her of this burden – but doing so could change things so completely that they might never meet.Ken has repeatedly told Melissa that he would do anything for her. But would he truly do anything?At once a wildly romantic tale and a compelling human adventure, Anything brings Michael Baron's storytelling to a dramatic new level.

      Only two complaints with this book really: 1.) the ending felt a bit rushed (hence four instead of five stars) and 2.) the ending was a bit predictable. Ordinarily a predictable ending wouldn't bother me - this is the romance genre, afterall, where formula and predictability reign supreme. But there was another possibility in this story that actually felt a bit more natural and right for it than the formula one did. I think that's why the formulaic ending wasn't as satisfying to me.

      ANYTHING by Michael BaronPublished by The Story PlantPrint ISBN-13: 978-1-61188-021-2EBook ISBN-13:- 978-1-61188-022-9At the request of the publisher, a PDF was sent at no cost to me, for my honest opinion. Synopsis (from back of book): With Anything, Michael Baron again draws readers into a world of deep emotion, compelling relationships, and heartfelt humor, and this time he adds a touch of fantasy. Ken and Melissa are at the dawn of a magnificent life together. A passionate romance has led them to the doorstep of marriage. While searching for the perfect wedding present for Melissa, Ken stumbles into a mysterious shop. There, he is given an extraordinary opportunity - to look in on Melissa when she was a girl. Ken has always wished he could have known Melissa from the day she was born and this seems like an incredible blessing. Until he discovers a terrible secret in Melissa's past, one so awful she has found it impossible to mention to him. Now Ken has another extraordinary opportunity. He can go back in time and change the horrible event that has left an indelible mark on Melissa. He can free her of this burden - but doing so could change things so completely that they might never meet.Ken has repeatedly told Melissa that he would do anything for her. But would he truly do anything? My Thoughts and Opinion: I was introduced to this author back in December of 2009 when I read and reviewed his novel, Crossing The Bridge, and instantly became a fan. Since that time, I have read the majority of his books and have yet to be disappointed. Matter of fact, his books are like a fine wine, they seem to get better with time. I was a bit skeptical when asked to review Anything, especially after reading his last book Spinning, which I rated 5/5. Could he do it again?This novel had all the "Michael Baron elements" that first grabbed me, but then it also had a slight spin that had this reader wondering about once the last word was read (do not want to include spoilers). Mr. Baron's tender, masterful and descriptive writing style allows the reader to be transported and become part of the story line. The characters come to life with the ability not to just read their emotions but actually feel and experience them. The vivid descriptions of the scenes provides the reader the ability to create their own life like story line that carries the reader side by side with the characters, like a mind's movie.As for the premise. Haven't we all said at one time or another these words, I would do anything for (fill in the blank)? But would we? At what cost? Not only is this book poignant, emotional, with a little suspense, and even a bit of fantasy but it is also thought provoking long after the book has ended and the reader is sitting there and now wondering, Would I do anything? Just like a perfect performance by a concert pianist, I say to Mr. Baron, BRAVO!!!!!! My Rating: 5

      AnythingKen and Melissa had the perfect life. They loved each other tremendously. Ken loved Melissa so much, that he wanted to know everything about her. With the help of an out of the way Jewery shop, a mysterious shopkeeper and a little magic, Ken gets what he wished for. He just forgot one thing, be careful what you wish for.My first impressions of Anything was, boy this book is wordy. Whether or not such a thing could be said about a book or not, this book was just that wordy. That being said, It was an amazing love story. The storyline was interesting and unexpected. Written from the perspective of the male. Readers get to see another side of love and relationships. Michael Baron leads the reader on an incredible journey. This is a must read for anyone looking for a book about pure Romance..

      Anything by Lou AronicaThis story follows Melissa nd Ken. They are to be wed and he wonders bout her past life. He visits the unique shop and Stefon says he can bring him back to check out her life, not touch anything or interact.He finds himself when Melissa was just a toddler, another time she's older and he witnesses abuse taking place. After that she no longer wants to be a concert pianoist. He comes back to the real world and she's no longer in his life, her parents aren't even around and he is depressed.He wants to find her and get back to her. He does locate her playing a concert and it is her. He is told he needs to go after what he wants...Never imagined the events taking place as they did, wow! Love hearing of the interactions that take place, the locations and the shops where exquisite objects are created.Received this review copy from the publsiher The Story Plant and this is my honest opinion.
