Nicky is a guy I&#8217;d just love to be. Able to clock people&#8217;s needs and deliver on them. Mastering chess-like strategies to stay ahead and building them into full-proof systems. And then, when something happens to pull all those systems out from under your feet, having enough life-experience and quick observation skills to scramble for solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;He dwells in his grief, insecurities and imperfections and gets the job done anyway. I would gladly live with these characters again in a sequel.&#8221; &#8211; Doug Shapiro on Amazon <\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;We all read books through the lenses of our own lives.
