Jonathan Sturak is an author who understands the Kindle concept well and manages to offer short stories quickly read but proving an enduring impact.A BRUSH OF LOVE is related by a gal born in Nevada but transplanted to Indianapolis where she secures a brainless job in a law firm. Longing to see something beyond the boring cubicle of her existence, she accepts the invitation of her boss to fly to Florida for a meeting (on company time and expenses). Discovering that her obligations in Florida include dinner with stuffy old cigar smoking guys, she dresses well and escapes to encounter a handsome artist sketching in a café, a romance begins and our heroine finds an evening of beauty in her otherwise mundane life. How she handles that moment is the crux of the story, but we feel a return to a rut that will remain a lost dream. Grady Harp, January 11
