HOT BUTTERED YUM proved to be one of the best modern books I have read!  It grabs the reader from the start, never letting go; it takes you on an emotional roller coaster that you don't want to get off.  Having read it as a Kindle Serial, the most difficult thing was having to wait a full week for the next episode.  A recurring theme in the associated chat was, "when will Tuesday  ever get here???  In fact, folks talked of vigils, beginning at midnight, awaiting in anxious anticipation, even setting aside a personal "time out" from the kids; the wait, particularly for the final episode, was almost unbearable!Kim Law has written a jewel combining romance with the heartache of unresolved loss and its devastating effects upon the aggrieved Roni:  running away from a demanding career, keeping the heart locked against all but the most platonic of relationships, and active avoidance of reaching out to a child, the source of her greatest grief.Through an almost magical mastery, Kim Law weaves these dark circumstances into a most enchanting and insightful story that, presented with the full book, the reader will be unable and unwilling to put down.  Indeed, all of us from the discussion forum are anxiously awaiting the moment this book crosses path of a producer and it is made into a movie: what a delightful experience that would be!While the essence of Roni' s story is one that truly should be shared with all, it must be cautioned that a few scenes of intimacy, though tastefully written [so much so that even this rather bashful & prudish reader who usually skips over intimate interludes did enjoy actually reading these] ought to be either edited or omitted, or better still, read with parental supervision and discussion for younger readers.  Truthfully, these scenes are so well written that they may prove an exceptional vehicle for that dreaded discussion we all must eventually approach with our cherished children.You would do yourself a disservice to not bring Roni' s story to your life and home.
