When it came to playing games, my lover Jax was a master strategist. Bad enough that I didn't mind how much it was going to cost me. In that moment I understood how badly I wanted to unravel the mystery of Jax. He was a hard and jaded man, cut from a ruthless cloth. Had I really thought they were soft and warm? There was nothing soft about Jackson Rutledge. Thickly lashed, they were relentless in their intensity. His eyes were a brown so dark they were nearly black. Walking into a deal I'd worked hard to close. He'd only been part of my life for five short weeks two years ago. The realization that Jax still affected me so strongly was a jagged pill to swallow. #1 New York Times bestselling author Sylvia Day, America's premier author of provocative fiction, delivers two novels from Cosmo Red-Hot Reads from Mills & Boon. ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments A Dream of a Woman by Casey Plett![]() ![]() José Vadi wants to know what it was like for his family who came before him.

She was the first woman to register to vote in Concord, when women were given school, tax, and bond suffrage in Massachusetts, in 1879.

For these reasons, most scholars now believe that while Chaucer might have heard parts of the earlier collection when he was in Italy, he did not have it at hand as he wrote. And yet, although he identified many of his sources, Chaucer never mentioned Boccaccio indeed when he retold the Decameron's final novella, his pilgrim, the Clerk, states that it was written by Petrarch. A major and original contribution to the debate as to Chaucer's use and knowledge of Boccaccio, finding a new source for the "Shipman's Tale".Ī possible direct link between the two greatest literary collections of the fourteenth century, Boccaccio's Decameron and Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, has long tantalized readers because these works share many stories, which are, moreover, placed in similar frames. ![]() ![]() ![]() Was City of Lost Souls worth the listening time? I had to pay attention so hard to tell the differences in the male and female voices that I honestly cant tell you what really happened in the book. ![]() Would you be willing to try another one of Molly C. Quinn?Īnother book from, Cassandra I am all over but if it is narrator is Molly then I will read instead of listen. Would you try another book from Cassandra Clare and/or Molly C. Quinn is a total disaster! Why doesn’t Simon & Schuster ever listen to us? She had already ruined City of Fallen angels for me and now this? All the characters sounded the same to me and everything that came out of her mouth was unbearable! Please change the narrator for the next book! Overall, I am still a huge fan of The Mortal Instruments and cannot wait for the last installment, City of Heavenly Fire! Molly C. Charming, intelligent, manipulating, handsome, cunning…….a true mastermind. He is possibly the best villain ever created. As for Sebastian……I don’t even know where to start. They have one of the most torturing, yet fascinating relationships I’ve ever read. But all of this is fine as long as the story of Clary and Jace is still good. They are simply boring and can’t seem to fit into this book at all. To be honest, there are some relationships in this book I just don’t really care about, especially Maia and Jordan. I don’t know about you, but putting the three of them together seems to work extremely well. ![]() 5/11/2023 0 Comments Trailblazers by Yvonne Doll![]() ![]() ![]() Not surprisingly, the American hinterland was not ready for this kind of group, and they teetered through the bookings they were able to obtain to support the album. ![]() With songs like “Personality Crisis,” “Trash” and “Looking for a Kiss” and razor-sharp production by Todd Rundgren - with whom the group battled, although they later acknowledged he did a great job - it remains a monumentally exciting album, although the polarized opinions it produced at the time are evidenced by the fact that the group was famously voted both the Best New Group and the Worst New Group in a Creem magazine readers’ poll. ![]() The cover of the group’s self-titled album featured them in full drag, but the music inside was full-tilt rock and roll, showing an equal influence of hard-riffing predecessors like the MC5 along with the early ’60s girl-group pop that the members grew up on - and no shortage of New York attitude and accents. Shattered but determined, the group enlisted ace drummer Jerry Nolan - both future Ramones drummer Marc Bell and future Kiss drummer Peter Criss had also auditioned - and were signed to Mercury Records by A&R executive/ music writer Paul Nelson. Invited to open for Rod Stewart at a British concert in 1972, the group suffered its first major setback when Murcia died in a drug-related accident during the trip. ![]() |
