![]() ![]() She knows she needs to make up for his father’s lack of interest and presence in his life. She works hard to give him the stability every child deserves to have. ![]() Palmer is a single mum to her 12 year old son Ethan. It won't go down as my favorite Adriana Locke book, but I'm still happy to have read it. I loved the happily ever after, and the way it left my heart feeling happy and satisfied. In the end, I did enjoy this story - it was just a bit inconsistent and lopsided for me. I skimmed through a bit of the second half. It likely didn't help that there were secrets because I am rarely patient with secrets and indeed, I did find myself very frustrated with the way some of the things played out. The second emed to slow down a bit for me? It felt a little repetitive and I could feel myself getting impatient. I was completely consumed with the first half of this story. I loved how his relationship with Ethan, Palmer's son, also seemed to happen so naturally and heartwarmingly. ![]() The way he persistently but respectfully pursued Palmer - all sexy swagger and irresistible confidence. I was so into them and that only blossomed when Cole turned out to be a really good guy. On top of that, Palmer and Cole's meet cute was the exact sort of sparky, playful, understated sexy that I live for. Oooh this book started out so strong for me! I adore sports romance, I adore single mom / single dad tropes, and I adore small town stories. ![]()

And is it possible for Sloan to survive another heartbreak? There's no telling what could happen when they meet in person. But what if this Jason guy really loves Tucker? As their flirty texts turn into long calls, Sloan can't deny a connection. Well, Sloan's not about to give up her dog without a fight. Then, after weeks of unanswered texts, Tucker's owner reaches out. With her new pet by her side, Sloan finally starts to feel more like herself. But one trouble-making pup with a 'take me home' look in his eyes is about to change everything. Two years after losing her fiance, Sloan Monroe still can't seem to get her life back on track. ![]() From the bestselling author of THE FRIEND ZONE comes an adorable and fresh romantic comedy about one trouble-making dog who brings together two perfect strangers. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Collins’s prose is rich with detail and description, and though it’s occasionally too decorative to picture, her portrayal of the devilish de Havilland and Emmett’s antediluvian tutor Seredith are adept, true-to-life depictions. The private, devious practise is left in the dark after the first act, and Collins devotes more time and poetic writing to painting a detailed, and, at times visceral, portrait of Emmett’s developing affections and their devastating physical and psychological effects. Told in three acts from three perspectives – two characters, three moments in time – the novel transforms from the fantastical to the romantic. With memories as fragile and valued as this, what has Emmett forgotten? ![]() This is the tempting yet terrifying premise of The Binding: the tale follows Emmett Farmer as he’s apprenticed to the peculiar art of extracting torturous and disruptive memories from the desperate, the exploited, and the defenceless, transforming them into an attractive volume for a less attractive fee, and leaving the purchaser – or victim – with less of themselves. Memories are tough to imagine: meticulous and muscular, fractured and fragile and ephemeral, forgotten and evoked and etched into our character – yet, what if you could extract them, etch them onto a page, and forget your grief, your regrets, or your gravest memories? ![]() ![]() Our Lord makes a disciple His own possession, He becomes responsible for him. ![]() This does not mean I will not be saved, but it does mean that I cannot be “His.” ![]() I may prefer to belong to my mother, or to my wife, or to myself then says Jesus, you cannot be My disciple. “If any man come to me and hate not…, he cannot be My disciple,” not - he cannot be good and upright, but - he cannot be one over whom Jesus writes the word “Mine.” Any one of the relationships Our Lord mentions may be a competitive relationship. It was not until after the Resurrection, when the disciples had perceived by the power of the Holy Spirit Whom He was, that Jesus said “Go.” Our Lord never sent any of the disciples out on the ground of what He had done for them. The Holy Spirit expounds the nature of Jesus to me in order to make me one with my Lord, not that I might go off as a showroom exhibit. The true nature of the life in the actual whirl is the deliberate giving up of myself to another in sovereign preference, and that other is Jesus Christ. The missionary is one in whom the Holy Ghost has wrought this realization - “Ye are not your own.” To say “I am not my own,” is to have reached a great point in spiritual nobility. ![]() ![]() Not a sound, anywheres- perfactly still- just like the whole world was asleep, only sometimes the bull-frogs a-cluttering, maybe. Next we slid into the river and had a swim, so as to freshen up and cool off then we set down on the sandy bottom where the water was about knee deep, and watched the daylight come. It was a monstrous big river down there- sometimes a mile and a half wide we run nights, and laid up and hid day-times soon as night was most gone, we stopped navigating and tied up- nearly always in the dead water under a tow-head and then cut young cottonwoods and willows and hid the raft with them. Two or three days and nights went by I reckon I might say they swum by, they slid along so quiet and smooth and lovely. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Without even consulting the two other girls – rich Valley Pepperhorn, who’s tormented Seven her whole life, and timid new girl Thorn Laroux – Seven invokes the Impossible Task, so that she and the other two girls can be granted full coven status and be allowed to keep using their magical powers. But on the fateful evening, only Poppy makes it into Hyacinth Coven, while Seven and two other girls are left-over Spares, doomed to have stunted magical powers and be left out of mainstream society for the rest of their lives. ![]() Seven Salazar and her best friend Poppy have long dreamed of being in Hyacinth Coven. The biggest milestone for 12-year-old witchlings in the contemporary-feeling magical town of Ravenskill is being assigned to a coven at the Black Moon ceremony. ![]() ![]() ![]() As she announces in the first line of the novel, "A long time ago in another country, I nearly killed a woman." Nan is looking back at a time when she had larceny in mind, and it was Agatha's husband she was aiming to steal, though one has to wonder why. The novel is narrated by the mistress, here called Nan O'Dea, a complicated woman with many secrets. Upon that frame of fact, de Gramont weaves brilliantly imagined storylines for both the mistress and the writer, converging at the spa hotel, where not one but two guests promptly turn up dead. ![]() Eleven days later, after an internationally publicized manhunt, she turned up at a spa hotel in Harrogate, having signed in under the name of her husband's lover. Sometime that night, Agatha left home, abandoning her car beside a nearby chalk quarry with a suitcase full of clothes inside. In December 1926, having announced his intention to divorce her so he could marry his mistress, Christie's husband took off to spend a weekend in the country. The bare facts are here just as they happened. ![]() A reimagining of Agatha Christie's famous 11-day disappearance, adding a murder mystery worthy of the dame herself. ![]() ![]() ![]() Despite his lack of formal education, he edited a weekly journal for 20 years, wrote 15 novels, five novellas, hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles, lectured and performed extensively, was an indefatigable letter writer, and campaigned vigorously for children's rights, education, and other social reforms.ĭickens was regarded as the literary colossus of his age. ![]() His novels and short stories enjoy lasting popularity.ĭickens left school to work in a factory when his father was incarcerated in a debtors' prison. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime, and by the twentieth century critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary genius. ![]() Charles John Huffam Dickens (1812-1870) was a writer and social critic who created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. ![]() ![]() He produced the 13-issue Pantheon for Lone Star Press and wrote a pair of short novels about the modern adventures of the hero Beowulf, published by the writer's collective, Clockwork Storybook, of which Willingham was a founding member. In the late 1990s Willingham reestablished himself as a prolific writer. ![]() He also produced the pornographic series Ironwood for Eros Comix. He contributed stories to Green Lantern and started his own independent, black-and-white comics series Coventry which lasted only 3 issues. However, for reasons unknown, the series had trouble maintaining an original schedule, and Willingham's position in the industry remained spotty for many years. ![]() He first gained attention for his 1980s comic book series Elementals published by Comico, which he both wrote and drew. In the late 1970s to early 1980s he drew fantasy ink pictures for the Dungeons & Dragons Basic and Expert game rulebooks. ![]() |
