How many of us have wondered what we would do it if offered the opportunity to live our life over with the benefit of hindsight? Our protagonist is given this choice one dark night by none other than Satan ? who appears in the form of a beautiful woman. ?A classy blend of mephistophelean drama and southern family saga that ?s impossible to put down. ? Kurt Palomaki, author, artist. Lenoir, North Carolina ?What an interesting read! A beginning that grabbed me with its thought-provoking scenario, and held me to the end with its gut-wrenching finish. ? Patricia Jungferman, North Fort Myers, Florida ?Intriguing is the word for Bart Bare ?s first novel. He has put a new twist on this Faustian legend of the man who sold his soul to the Devil. Bare ?s protagonist makes a pact for the chance to relive his unsatisfying life and achieve the dreams that fell by wayside the first time around. His Satan appears in a woman ?s form ? and with a woman ?s wiles. The reader, like the devil, will fall in love with John Grandt, the embodiment of a flawed but noble man. ? Nora Percival, author of Weather of The Heart. Boone, North Carolina. ? Satan's Bargain has the most intriguing plot of any book I have read in years. I started it one evening and stayed up all night reading. Just could not put it down until the end. ? Don Taggart, North Fort Myers, Florida ? Satan ?s Bargain is a psychological journey with a young man seeking self esteem. Bart Bare takes you into his character ?s mind, and skillfully allows you to see his sometimes painful quest for the sterling qualities he already possesses. Bare ?s dialogue crackles. ?
