I wasn't a big fan of the Nightshade trilogy, it was enjoyable enough but the ending kind of ruined it for me. *sigh* oh well sometimes love isn't meant to be and the other guy never gets a chance. I clearly remember reading the first chapter online before the book actually came out and it story stole my heart, and broke it all the same time, I thought there was actually a connection between the two characters when she found Ren in the house all alone in wolf form, I thought the story would have built up to much more than it actually did and that the characters would have build up to each other. Sorry I know there are ppl out there who love the idea but I'm not one of them. I have never left reading a book so sad or unjustified yes I really was that upset he died, yes I also understand its a book but when a book leaves you feeling sick it really isn't worth recommending to anyone and I love to recommend books to people and I really really wish the character would have lived, the story would have been better in my opinion, but to just kill off a character so there isn't the strange love triangle anymore is unjust! I wish that Ren would be around for this book, I really do, I feel his death was not necessary and wasn't really needed to build up the plot, if anything it took so much away from the book. Wow I didn't even know there was going to be anymore, looking forward to this, but I can't say I remember this character :S

" Bear Meets Girl is hilarious, sexy fun."- Heroes and Heartbreakers Fans of the series will enjoy this latest addition.”- Publishers Weekly “With a sharp eye for detail, Laurenston manages to combine Animal Planet and The Sopranos with bonus life-altering roller derby. Not when Gwen means absolutely everything to him. Lock probably shouldn't get involved, but he can't simply walk away. She's sexy beyond belief and smart as hell, but she's so busy protecting her family and friends that she's forgetting about her own safety. Gwen-half lioness, half tigress, all kick-ass-does neither. Too bad cats don't believe in forever.Īt nearly seven feet tall, Lock is used to people responding to him in two ways: screaming or running away. He actually watches out for her, and unlike the rest of her out-of-control family, manages not to morbidly embarrass her. But what is she supposed to do with a nice suburban Jersey boy who has a tendency to turn into a massive Grizzly? Despite his menacing growl and four-inch claws, Gwen finds Lachlan "Lock" MacRyrie cute and really sweet. Growing up on the tough Philly streets, Gwen O'Neill knows how to fend for herself. A feline shifter finds a man who makes her roar in a novel by the New York Times-bestselling author who has “ a gift with words and humor” ( USA Today). The author doesn’t like people who trivialize the things women enjoy. She only takes offense when people use ‘Romance’ as a derogatory term. Even though she technically writes historical fiction, her publisher’s decision to categorize her books under the romance umbrella doesn’t bother Donati. To her surprise, not only did she secure a publisher, but the first book sold well. She finally sat down to write her first novel, unaware of what would happen once she finished it, if it would sell, or whether it would sit in her drawer forever. Donati was also tempted to write adventure stories fronted by strong female characters. The people that populated her academic setting held a low opinion of fiction.īut the author had an interest in frontier stories that she couldn’t shake. But eventually, Donati’s dissertation pulled her back to Austria.Īs a young scholar, it never occurred to the author that she would write novels for a living. She left for a spell to finish her undergraduate degree. She stuck around for a year to teach grade school. Initially, a stint at a teacher’s college took the author to Austria. Eventually, her interest in the subject reached a fever pitch, driving her to pursue linguistics in graduate school. She remembers moving to Austria and realizing that people in Switzerland spoke a variety of German, which differed from the German people saw in books.Īdditionally, Donati noticed the discrimination that language created.

The reason for Bravo’s missing decades is far more in keeping with the mainstream of Marvel than Brubaker’s stories have been to date, and once explained the protracted sequences leading to the conclusion are dragged out. His attacker is narrowed down to a former wartime comrade, Codename: Bravo, absent for many decades after a mission fouled up, and someone who holds a grudge against Captain America.Ĭhapters collected here began a new Captain America series when individually published, and Brubaker took the opportunity to move his stories a little from the murky world of cloak and dagger and politics to superheroics. The five chapter story in this volume begins with the funeral of Peggy Carter, Captain America’s World War II girlfriend, at which he’s attacked. Returning from apparent death to find Bucky Barnes wearing the star-spangled costume suited him fine. In Prisoner of War Ed Brubaker depicted a questioning and compromised Rogers, admitting that he’d always done his duty by his country, but it wasn’t always the path he’d have followed if given a choice. There was much soul-searching before Steve Rogers decided to resume the Captain America identity. Unparalleled use of perspective and line-architectural verticals opposed to the curve of wires and earth-underscore disequilibrium and freedom. Two ingenious gatefolds draw readers’ eyes into the vertiginous sweep of wirewalker-sky and city below. At the heart are the spreads of Petit on the narrow wire, so far above the city that Earth’s curve is visible. A spare recounting of Philippe Petit’s daring 1974 wire walk between the Twin Towers depicts him as a street performer who defies authority to risk his feat, is arrested, and then sentenced to perform for the children of New York.Īt the conclusion, on the only non-illustrated page are the stark words, “ Now the towers are gone,” followed by the changed skyline and finally by a skyline on which are etched the ghost-like shapes of the towers as memory of the buildings and of Petit’s exploit.

I felt like I got to know each member of the Keating and Cousins families, even those we don’t get to spend much time with. Patchett’s characters are well-developed and three-dimensional. It also emphasizes the fleeting nature of time and themes of fate and destiny. Instead, it’s a sliding, kaleidoscopic novel you think you know the whole picture until a new point of view chapter causes that image to shift and reform. This nonlinear narrative brilliantly mimics the ways in which people share their memories and recount their life stories. And as everyone knows, families are often messy- full of secrets, feuds, and miscommunications- but can also feature unshakeable bonds.Īlthough we follow these ten characters over the course of the next forty plus years, this is not a chronological story. The affair and subsequent marriage of Bert Cousins and Beverly Keating joins together their six children and ex-spouses into a new, complex, blended family. This one afternoon will forever change the lives of the Cousins and Keating families. Commonwealth begins with Franny Keating’s christening party a party involving an uninvited guest, fresh-squeezed orange juice, a gifted bottle of gin, and an extra-marital kiss.

Like many new parents, Daddy Albert and Daddy Rich are overwhelmed as they figure out how to navigate Lester’s fears while maintaining structure within the family and massaging their own worries about how being a same sex couple affects Lester’s opinion of them. While Williams and Raschka make a point to center Home at Last around Lester’s experience as an adopted child, they are also careful to highlight both the strength and struggles of same sex parenthood. Although Lester is excited to join his new family and their dog from the start of the story, after arriving at home, he struggles to sleep at night due to fears of abandonment while sleeping alone for the first time. Home at Last shares the story of a small child, Lester, struggling to adjust during his transition from foster care into a new home with his two adopted fathers. |
