Glow by beth kery6/2/2023 Suspense-seeking readers will be disappointed, but those who relish domestic eroticism with a kinky yet tender trajectory will be satisfied. She is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Because You Are Mine series. But they can’t deny their chemistry as their refuge turns into an exploration of every kind of intimacy. Beth Kery believes first and foremost in writing an intense, passionate love story that fulfills the reader sensually, emotionally and intellectually. Seth doesn’t trust actresses, and Gia doesn’t appreciate his assumptions about her, but he reluctantly agrees, disguising her as a boy and spiriting her away to a forest retreat. When she becomes a prosecution witness for the trial of a cult leader and a possible target for his followers, the district attorney asks Seth to keep her hidden. Two and a half years later, Gia’s career is skyrocketing. When up-and-coming actress Gia Harris seeks refuge at a party, their chance encounter ignites into a night of sex as hot as it’s spontaneous. Seth Hightower parlayed his Army intelligence disguise skills into a career as a top Hollywood makeup artist. Kery’s third One Night of Passion contemporary (after Exposed to You) combines sizzling heat with a cozy vibe. The glass eye jeannie vanasco6/1/2023 She was diagnosed with profound bipolar disorder and had psychotic episodes where she heard voices and had hallucinations. On top of these two narratives, and driving them forward, is the story of Vanasco’s own mental illness. Vanasco’s father named her after her dead half-sister – a” necronym” she calls it – and the book becomes a story of her search for what her half-sister was like. One of his daughters, named Jeanne but pronounced the same as her own name, died in a car accident at the age of sixteen. He had four daughters from his first marriage. It begins as an expression of her love for her father and becomes a description of her irrationally strong grief over his death. The book we have now is the fulfillment of her promise, 15 years late. She has been writing this book ever since. Vanasco’s father died in 2002 when she was eighteen. Its first sentence is “The night before he died I promised my dad I’d write a book for him.” Jeannie Vanaso’s The Glass Eye is a beguiling book. 438 days story6/1/2023 Very inspiring!- ABC News (Best Book of 2015) A spectacular triumph of grit over adversity, 438 Days is an intense, immensely absorbing read.- Booklist The best survival book in a decade.- Outside harrowing tale.- New York Daily News Jonathan Franklin is an American journalist, but it is with a novelists eye for detail, rather than a reporters matter-of-factness, that he gives this gripping saga the chronicle it unfolds like a rollicking adventure me of both Yann Martels Life Of Pi and William Goldings Pincher Martin, yet tells a tale that is nothing if not astoundingly, engrossingly singular.- Daily Mail (UK) This riveting adventure has us in its grip, spellbound and eager to know more about the mysterious Salvador Alvarenga.His story of resilience, ingenuity, and grit is an unforgettable true-life adventure.- BookPage As this old world pursues its endless journey round the sun, many are the tales of death and disaster on the high seas.

Soulless Saint by Elena Lawson6/1/2023 I knew I was destined to ride the thrilling waves of passion and adventure, even if it meant risking it all on a journey where love, danger, and villains collided.

Gene simmons makeup6/1/2023 Former yeshiva boy Simmons and opera-loving Stanley were nobodies who couldn’t cut it at Manhattan hot spots. The only way they could make it work was to create theatrical characters inspired by comic-book superheroes: a starchild, a demon, a spaceman and a freaky-looking cat.īut success was a long shot. “But Gene saw himself in the mirror and realized he looked like a pro wrestler in drag.” “Kiss originally wore lipstick and eyeliner,” recalled musician Binky Philips, who went to high school with guitarist Paul Stanley. So it was no wonder that a Queens band wanted to try it out, too. In the early 1970s, David Bowie, Lou Reed and the New York Dolls made men in makeup cool.

Colleen hoover cinderella series6/1/2023 In case you don’t remember, Daniel and Six were Holder and Sky’s best friends from Hopeless and Losing Hope and while this novella reads as a standalone, it would have greater meaning if you read both those books first. Suffice it to say that I absolutely adored every word of story – it was fun, quirky and unique. I was originally going to talk about the plot here but honestly, I think it’ll be more fun to just discover it for yourselves. Daniel and Six captured my heart and I hope that one day we get more of their story because I’m not ready to let go yet! In less than 100 pages, it made me feel more than I have in many entire books. Finding Cinderella was a beautifully written, deeply heart warming novella that made me laugh, cry, and fall in love.

Now, Meyer is revealing some new Midnight Sun secrets ahead of its release. Readers get to learn Cullen’s past and his experiences as a vampire. Midnight Sun is a prequel to the Twilight saga, telling the story from Edward Cullen‘s perspective as opposed to Bella Swan‘s. Then, in May, Meyer shared that Midnight Sun is complete and ready to be released. However, in a 2015 interview, the author revealed that she had begun working on the Breaking Dawn follow up again. In response, Meyer publicly posted 12 chapters for fans and said in a blog post that Midnight Sun would likely remain incomplete. In 2008, a few chapters of the book were leaked online.
