WOW !!!!! A hopeless romantic,
indeed!!!!!

This story was totally not what I
expected!!! The sensuality that
Alex describes is the perfect tease
that has better detail than any
other male author I have read
before. His main character,
Ritchie, is the ideal hopeless
romantic & yet as you read the
story you can understand why he
is single. To some extent, it
describes a lot of the nice guys
and girls that are out there,
continuously being hurt & yet
they won't give up on love. I
know, because I'm one of those
people. Alex does a wonderful job
of summarizing the way most
romantics truly feel, and to be a
man that writes so eloquently is
an absolute plus.

I have always enjoyed Alex
Chavez's writing since I first began
to read his poetry in 1998. His
romantic vision and message has
found a way to touch my heart on
numerous occassions when I've
felt down. I heard about his book
through his web page and I knew I
had to check it out. After reading
The Trouble with Ritchie, I am
convinced that Alex is a writer with
a message. His story just about
sums up every poem I have ever
read that he has written and I look
forward to the release of his next
release this coming spring. He's
definitely one of my favorite writers
and obviously my favorite poet.
Thank you for the wonderful read
Mr. Chavez, I love it!

A Jersey girl that loves this book.

I don't know if Alex intended on it, but several scenes touched me so deeply, that I was brought to
tears. Reading this novel has given me hope that there are good men out there, despite all the
wrong men I have met. To know there is a man who can understand an appreciate women is to feel
loved again. The story itself tells us what kind of pain a good man endures, but my favorite aspect of
the book, is when Alex, or Ritchie, talks to the reader. I love this book! ! !

Finally a mans point of view!

A page turner, for sure. My
girlfriend bought this book after
hearing about it through my
sister, I picked it up and haven't
been able to put it down since.
We read it together and even
discuss the dialogue and points
of view that this story gives us.
As a man, I have to say that
there is truth in what this story
tells. Alex has cut no corners
and has exposed every
sentiment a man can have about
dating and relationships through
his characters. This is one hell
of a read. Every character in this
story reminds me of someone I
know or have known at some
point in my life. I can't wait to
finish it.

A Lesson About Love For Young Adults
To Learn

Where do I begin? This book is
wonderful. My sister- in-law told me
about this novel, after my niece bought
it, and I have fallen in love all over again.
Unlike the traditional romance novel,
Alex F. Chavez brings us romance,
comedy, sensuality and truth in a way
most of us may not be accustomed to.
He writes in a fashion that says
everything a woman wants to hear, and
at the same time, some of his characters
tell us what we don't want to hear. This
book made me laugh, made me cry,
angered me and also touched me in a
manner I haven't been touched in a long
time. Finally, women get a chance to see
what men really talk about and better
understand why they may be insensitive
to our needs. This is a must read for
young men and women everywhere, as
'The Trouble with Ritchie,' may be the
trouble with young people everywhere.
ONLY HONESTY: June 2005

I read your book...Great book!...good job....I've
told my girlfriends all about it....unfortunately
they are on the Dirty Girl Social Club
kick...which is good too....but reading about
love from a mans perspective is what I think my
girlz need to be doing right now....
