Salvaje

Autor: Sylvia Day

Número de Páginas: 182

La reina de la romántica de alto voltaje nos sorprende con una historia de dominación, pasión y deseo incontrolable. Tendría que hacerse con ella, pero no sólo con su cuerpo, sino también con su alma. Quiere dominarla, pero lo que de verdad ansía es que ella lo desee. Max no podía negar que la idea de someterla lo llenara de expectación. La imagen de la completa sumisión de Victoria, el fuego que había visto en sus ojos y su terrible indiferencia hacían que cada músculo de su cuerpo se tensara. Además, y por primera vez, existía una posibilidad remota de fracaso, y eso le hacía desearla hasta límites insospechados. Un juego en que lo único real es la pasión. «Sylvia Day tiene un talento único para escribir sobre seductoras heroínas y sus héroes son siempre la personificación de la perfección masculina. Max y Victoria no son una excepción. Constituyen unos personajes sofisticados, atractivos e inteligentes, y la delicada seducción que ejercen el uno sobre el otro es sencillamente impresionante.» Romance Junkies

EL ÉXITO DE VENTAS DEL NEW YORK TIMES Gideon Cross llegó a mi vida como un rayo en la oscuridad… Era guapo y genial, irregular y ardiente. Me sentí atraída hacia él como a nada ni a nadie en toda mi vida. Ansiaba su contacto como una droga, aun sabiendo que me debilitaría. Yo era imperfecta y estaba dañada, y él abría esas grietas mías con tanta facilidad… Gideon sabía. Tenía sus propios demonios. Y nos convertiríamos en los espejos que reflejaban las heridas… y deseos más íntimos de cada uno. Las cadenas de su amor me transformaron, incluso mientras rezaba para que los tormentos de nuestros pasados no nos destrozaran…

The Happily Ever After

Autor: Avi Steinberg

Número de Páginas: 180

A memoir about writing a novel about searching for love. Is romance dead? Is that why there are so many vampires in today's romance novels? When Avi Steinberg's love life took a grim turn, he did what he always does: He consulted his old books, the usual cast of Great (Very Serious, Usually Male) Authors. And he immediately realized that these books were part of the problem. Instead, he began to read romances, the books he--like so many of us--have been conditioned to dismiss as "trashy." What he discovered was a genre that was tremendously diverse and daring, along with a vast network of innovative writers who were keeping the novel as alive as ever. His own relationship problems, he realized, came down to a failure of his imagination. And so he set out on a quest to write and publish a romance novel and to find real-life love. A hybrid of memoir, travelogue, and critical essay, The Happily Ever After chronicles an adventure in a brave new world of literature. Steinberg offers a report from the trenches of romance, moving between major industry conferences and writing groups at the local bar as he works and reworks his romance novel idea. He reveals the inside scoop from a major...

Quand Derek Prince découvre ce que cachent les murs du Cirque de nuit, l’un des clubs sulfureux du mystérieux Kingsley Edge, il comprend que les rumeurs qui circulent sur ce lieu sont encore très au-dessous de la vérité... A propos de l'auteur : Tiffany Reisz vit à Lexington, Kentucky, avec son amoureux et ses deux chats. Après des études d’anglais, elle a publié des romans érotiques sous son vrai nom, pour le plus grand bonheur de ses parents et de ses professeurs. Elle aime vivre à cent à l’heure, mais pas seulement. Elle aime aussi la salsa, le latin et les beaux bruns. Quoi d’autre, à part qu’elle a quitté un séminaire hyper traditionnaliste pour se lancer dans la littérature érotique et qu’elle a eu la tante de Johnny Depp comme prof de collège ? Rien de passionnant. Sauf une chose : si elle ne pouvait pas écrire, elle en mourrait.

Brothers of the Four Corners

Autor: Elias Sassoon

Número de Páginas: 354

This is a very traditional/untraditional novel. On the surface,it follows the lives of two brothers, close in age, who are bitter rivals in the end. We have the biblical Cain and Able reborn in the bodies of Billy and Bruce Aben. Bruce is the good brother. Single, middle class, with a white collar job, he leads a perfectly contented life in New York City. He takes two vacations a year, has his patented circle of friends and treasures playing the classical guitar. He prides himself on being the most decent person he knows. Billy on the other hand is the ultimate rebel. He hates middle class values; he abhors surrounding himself with comfort. The world to him is one big sham. Morality is for morons like his brother Bruce. The only thing that matters is making a quick buck any way you can; commodity trading, stock manipulation, outright theft are all permissible in Billys world. So there you have the brothers. One can only imagine their interaction. Brothers Of The Four Corners is a serious book with comedic overtones. There are elements of insanity combined with rivetting action/adventure sequences. The novel juggles a variety of issues simultaneously like: a family gone wrong; mans ...

Perfectly Plum

Autor: Leah Wilson

Número de Páginas: 193

Speculating about the cultural metaphors in Janet Evanovich's wildly popular mystery series (which includes 11 books, from One for the Money to Eleven on Top), this anthology takes a look at lingerie-buyer-turned-bounty-hunter Stephanie Plum and catalogs her bad luck with cars (she's blown up quite a few), her good luck with men, her unorthodox approach to weapon storage, and the rich tapestry of her milieu: Trenton, New Jersey, also known as The Burg. The contributors praise the way the series smartly spoofs that familiar chick-lit epiphany—I have a bad job and what I really want is a good man!—in Bounty Hunting as a Metaphor for Dating, Why Stephanie Should Quit Her Job … but Never Will, and Nothing Better than a Bad Boy Gone Good. Several essays veer from the chick-lit perspective and focus instead on the comic theme of luck and chance that ties Stephanie to the barroom gamblers and gangster meanies of her home town in Luck of the Italian?: Skill versus Chance.

Many people have a tragedy happen in their lives. For me, in my situation, what could I do? I only had two choices.

My wife needed me and I needed to honor and fulfill those marriage vows I took so long ago.

Emma Lois Hargis Smith The Queen of Bumpus Mills

Autor: Kay Jones

Número de Páginas: 474

Emma Lois Hargis Smith was born in Stewart County, Tennessee, in 1902, where she resided until her death in 1998. With the exception of a few years in Big Rock after marrying Elfry Smith and the final year of her life in Clarksville, her entire life was spent in Bumpus Mills, a city she affectionately referred to as the "Garden Spot of the World." Emma Smith was not a notable scholar, never won a peace prize or medal of honor, or found a cure for a disease. She didn't do any of the notable things that usually bring widespread fame and recognition to a person. No singular event or act made her unique and special so that a book should be written about her. However, her approach to life and the impact she had on others was undeniably just as great and worthy of mention in this comprehensive narrative that follows her from the womb though the one-year anniversary of her death. Her story spans ninety-six years and references details of a changing world, taking the reader from candlelight to electricity and from Model T Fords to modern automobiles. The reader experiences a touch of World War II through the eyes and hearts of the rural South. The reader is invited to see glimpses of life ...

Secrets and lies heap up until her father loses everything in the stock market crash and Clair becomes entangled in the burlesque world in an effort to save her family and herself.
