S.M. STEVENS

Reviewers have called Horseshoes and Hand Grenades "an insightful, compelling and well-written tale showing the strength of the female psyche" and "a novel that will stick in my mind for years to come". Shelby Stewart and Astrid Ericcson just want to start their careers in Boston's PR world and maybe find a nice guy to hang out with. But long-buried memories of a childhood incident keep interrupting Shelby's plans. And Astrid is forced to re-visit her career strategy when her boss takes flirting to a dangerous level. Both women reach new highs and lows in life, work and romance while struggling with the relationships that haunt them.
