Rough Love

Black comedy at its finest, Rough Love by Salvatore J. Bommarito analyzes the age-old conflicts that frequently arise between men and women. Naughty and intentionally unrefined, Stoke Spencer plays rough in this intense and tightly wound novel that documents his business achievements and his interpersonal challenges, as he attempts to find a soul mate after an unhappy marriage. The problem is that the women he meets are incredibly different, and after each encounter, Stoke becomes more confused about what he wants and what he will offer in a relationship. As his never-ending battle with the opposite sex rages on, Stoke must also deal with the don who wants him dead because he witnessed a murder. Yeah, life is rough in the big city, and so are sex, death, and love.
