Aw, I love Big Al. And you will too.JL Merrow has hit bang on with the big, tough hero's narrative in this touching, tender story. I dare you to read it and not fall for Al, all 6 feet plus and however-many-stone of muscle. He's a noble man and an artist, locked in a scary face and body with a Cockney accent.You'll laugh and cry as he navigates the shoals of romance with a university professor, and from an upper crust background, no less. Their story would have been perhaps unbelievable in less adept hands, but Merrow renders it in brash, bold colors that work.The secondary characters are just as much fun--funny and sad, depending on their place in the heroes' lives. Al's Mum is a kick in the bloomers!
