PRELIMINARY COMMENTS FOR ABBEY RAYNE:

"I defy anyone to read this book and think it was written by a man."

"With the possible exception of Emmett Love, Dani Ripper is Locke's most complete character. I know her and love her and will undoubtedly catch myself searching the crowds for her next time I'm in Nashville."

"Abbey Rayne is a crazy, silly, funny, delightful romp! I laughed out loud many times—even though the subject matter is serious."

"With Abbey Rayne, Locke has fired a warning shot at colleges, fraternities and The System. Despite the almost nonstop humor, this novel offers a powerful message."

"Dani cracks me up! Her relationships with Sophie and Dillon are spot-on and hilarious. While the entire novel is great, Dani's new game, Countdown, is worth the price of the book all by itself. I guarantee people will be playing it in restaurants all across the country!"
