It was roughly 600 pages, and I don’t mind a lengthy book if the characters are excellent. The first thing that I noticed about this book was the length. The bricks surrounding me may be tumbling down one by one, but I’m not sold yet, which means for the first time in his life, Carter’s the one begging.įor my time, my trust, for a single chance.Ĭonsider Me is book #1 in the Playing For Keeps series, a series of interconnected standalone mature hockey romance stories that contain lots of heat, swoon, laughs, and a ride on an emotional rollercoaster!. Sure, he may be pretty, but he’s also a walking, talking reminder for you to wrap it before you tap it.īut then I start letting my guard down, and he starts showing me pieces of himself I had no intention of seeing. I have the solution to all my sexual frustrations in a drawer at home, and it’s far less complicated than Carter Beckett. His only problem? I have no intention of falling for his shi-um, charm. He’s had everything served to him on a silver platter, including endless strings of women, and apparently, I’m up next. He’s arrogant, self-centered, and the man doesn’t seem to know what a filter is, let alone how to use one. Carter Beckett is the NHL’s resident bad boy, top player both on the ice and in the bedroom, and quite possibly the sexiest man to ever grace my field of vision.

If that is so, we live in darkness like animals in a burrow, or ants deep in their hill. Revival is narrated by small-town boy Jamie Morton, an averagely talented rhythm guitarist and former drug addict, and opens with his desperate denial of preordination – because if “these horrors” we are set to learn about were fated, “then there is no such thing as light, and our belief in it is a foolish illusion. But it is Lovecraft, and the quote “That is not dead which can eternal lie, / And with strange aeons, even death may die”, that reverberate throughout the book. Later on, Ray Bradbury’s Mr Electrico is also paid due homage. The book may be tricksy, but King signposts where we are going from the start: with the title, with the naming of Mary Shelley as one of “the people who built my house” in the dedication, alongside HP Lovecraft and Arthur Machen, whose The Great God Pan “has haunted me all my life”. The cyborgs are rescuing the sex bots-taking them onboard their ship. Then fate steps in.There’s a crash and Megan must escape or die. But that’s all she can do because he’s a cyborg. On her grainy security monitor, she watches all his sexual exploits with the bots, and fantasizes. Then she catches sight of the sexiest male she’s ever seen. What can go wrong overseeing a bunch of android sex bots on an automated whorehouse in deep space? Great job, if Megan doesn’t die of boredom.

Brief Summary of Book: Touching Ice (Cyborg Seduction, #4) by Laurann Dohner Few creatures in contemporary horror are as compelling as the vampire, who manages to captivate us in a simultaneous state of fear and desire. SLAY aims to be the first anthology of its kind. SLAY is a groundbreaking unique collection and will be a must-have for vampire lovers all over the world. Mocha Memoirs Press is proud to present SLAY: Stories of the Vampire Noire - a revolutionary anthology celebrating vampires of the African Diaspora. Drawing from a variety of cultural and mythological backgrounds, SLAY dares to. The 'kid' here is a young man named 'Gerald Tetley,' the only son of 'the biggest man in the valley', an ex-Confederate cavalry officer. You could feel what he meant you could only think what Davies meant. And yet both of them gave you that feeling of thinking outside yourself, in a big place the kid gave me that feeling even more, if anything, though he was disgusting. To Davies, what everybody thought became, just because everybody thought it, just and fine, and to act up to what they thought was to elevate oneself. To the kid, what everybody thought was low and wicked, and their hanging together was a mere disguise of their evil. To me his idea appeared just the opposite of Davies'. There had been something in the kid's raving which had made the canyon seem to swell out and become immaterial until you could think of the whole world, the universe, into the half-darkness around you: millions of souls swarming like fierce, tiny, pale stars, shining hard, winking about cores of minute, mean feelings, thoughts and deeds. Read 'The Ox-Bow Incident' yesterday, and've been thinking about a few things in connection with it. Lewis wants to take us "where the road passes over the rim of the world." Traveling this road, we learn that ordinary persons in our world are merely a part of "Shadowlands," our physical existence, which is but a passing shadow. Willard, is the affirmation that there is a beyond-and the heart is crying out for it. The great thing about Mere Christianity, says Dr. Mere Christianity sets us on this path of discovery. The hunger for transcendence, the desire to escape, entices everyone to try to get "beyond personality," to find what is real. Willard begins his talk by showing us that the public's interest today in heroes-whether in movies, sports, politics-is about "transcending," that is, about getting beyond personalities. There is a link to the video at the end of this summary.ĭallas Willard, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Southern California, addresses "Beyond Personality," dealing with the last book of Mere Christianityby C. The following summary is from the UC SD website. This was made in 2003, during the 40th anniversary of CS Lewis' death. Powerful, thought-provoking discussion by Dallas Willard on what CS Lewis discussed in book 4 of Mere Christianity. I also commend how Drew’s PTSD from his adolescent kidnapping was dealt with, and how it doesn’t just go away because he’s found love (and the fabled “magic vagina”), by his own admission. While Mina and Drew seem like opposites, with Drew being closed-off due to the scars from his past and Mina being eager to experience life after being cooped up all her life, I loved how they grew over the course of their relationship, ultimately figuring out how to compromise for each other. In this case, it’s “opposites attract,” and while it can be executed poorly, with the couple not having enough in common to make the HEA believable, that is not the case here. However, I was determined not to let this one just sit and wait, starting it almost as soon as I got it (after finishing the previous book I was reading, of course).Īnd like all of Lenora Bell’s books, this one lives up to the hype, standing out in the crowd of duke books, by feeling fresh even while retreading some familiar tropes. One Fine Duke is easily one of my most hyped books of the year, even if it took ages for me to get around to reading the next book in the series. We must accept that the creature known as Bigfoot walks among us - and that it is a beast of terrible strength and ferocity. Because if what Kate Holland saw in those days is real, then we must accept the impossible. Kate's is a tale of unexpected strength and resilience, of humanity's defiance in the face of a terrible predator's gaze, and inevitably, of savagery and death. In these pages, Max Brooks brings Kate's extraordinary account to light for the first time, faithfully reproducing her words alongside his own extensive investigations into the massacre and the beasts behind it, once thought legendary but now known to be terrifyingly real. But the journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the town's bloody wreckage, capture a tale too harrowing - and too earth-shattering in its implications - to be forgotten.
