Description:
Locked in a desk for decades, a lost poem
destined to bring together the unlikeliest of partners ...
He’d been wrecked but good this time. At thirty-four, down-and-out boxer Dennis Jones is loveless, motherless, penniless and
directionless. When he opens his eyes after a particularly brutal fight, he sees a raven-haired, blue-eyed demon in the guise of an
angel. What she wants to do to his life is laughable, insane … Yet what does he have to lose?
New Orleans Garden District socialite and poetry professor
Isobel Autrey needs a fighter. One who will do what she wants with no
questions asked. Someone who can cut through the obstacles
between her and Edgar Allan Poe’s last, undiscovered great work.
Weaving through ancient secret society rites, boxing rings, the New Orleans underbelly and right back to high society, Dennis and Isobel embark on a quest to revamp his life, find the poem and
possibly discover each other. If they make it—it’ll be close.
Reviews and Other Information:
Of The Boxer & the Poet :
"Thayer steps out of the ordinary and into the extraordinary with The Boxer & the Poet — a unique, captivating plot with powerful characters you can feel. Masterful, magical, and compelling. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough."
Debby Schoeningh, Editor
The Record-Courier"... a fantastic and fast paced adventure filled with so many interesting and fascinating characters. This book keeps you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end, wondering what will happen next. The chemistry between the weary battle-scarred boxer Dennis and the beautiful socialite Isobel is mesmerizing. If you've enjoyed James Thayer's books in the past then this one, his first but hopefully not his last attempt at a romance, will delight you."
Kasey's View"... an entertaining book. Dennis became a hero in my eyes because... at thirty-four, he still wanted to go back to college and get his degree. Isobel was a strange cookie. Was she a voodoo practitioner or was someone working charms on her? ... the back and forth flirting and hinting were there. Fun read overall."
Simply Romance ReviewsOf Previous Work:
"[Thayer's] writing is smooth and clear... It wastes no words, and it has a rhythm that only confident stylists achieve."
