The Whole Story: A Romance (The Blair Brothers Book 3) by Brooke St. James (961 Reviews)    Price verified 21 minutes ago

I wasn't the only woman in the world who had been cheated on. I certainly wasn't the only woman who had sworn off men because of it. I was, however, one of the few who was willing to stick to my guns about it. Men would sometimes see that as a challenge, but before too long they would realize I wasn't interested. I planned on staying single forever, and nothing, absolutely nothing could possibly change my mind. Even a chance meeting with someone as wonderful and gorgeous as Max Blair didn't faze me. I wasn't attracted to his looks, fame, skill, or ambition. I was perfectly fine getting to know Max as a person without adding all the complications of dating. Sure, I was a little starstruck at times, but I had that under control. And then again, maybe I was a little attracted to him, too. But who wouldn't be? The problem was that he seemed to like me. Even still, I would stay single forever. Forgetting about Max Blair would be a piece of cake.

Salsa Chica: How I Learned To Dance Salsa And Avoid Real Life by Solange Castro (24 Reviews)    Price verified 24 minutes ago

Once Solange began to dance salsa, she did little else. She worked and she danced. Try as she may, she could not imagine a more desirable way to spend her time. She became a "Salsera" or a "Salsa Chica," a woman who rearranges her entire life to accommodate her need to dance as much as humanly possible. It was a big experiment at first. What would happen if she danced night after night? Would her body fall apart? Would she be able to function at work? Would her mom get mad? She just lost weight and toned her body without getting on a hamster torture device. She grew more comfortable in her skin, developed confidence, became friends with people from different cultures, learned about music, and fell in love with the "wrong guys," - Salsa Guys - who weren't that different from other "wrong guys" but these guys could dance. Like every other Salsa Chica she struggled with her passions, choices, and technique. In "Salsa Chica: How I Learned To Dance Salsa And Avoid Real Life", Solange recounts the journey of learning to dance salsa and how it transformed and maybe even saved her life.

True Heart by Frank Altobelli (44 Reviews)    Price verified 57 minutes ago

She would have given anything to be like the other Volsung girls; tall and fair. Her nickname, "Mouse" said it all. She was small and dark-haired, but the name did not tell of the scar on her cheek that seemed to disqualify her as a bride. Nor did it hint she was the best archer in the valley, and the only one not afraid to enter the dread Holberth Forest, haunt of shades and the demon, Az-Aziel. Mouse never told how she once saw the demon or that the trees spoke to her. For these things matter little; she was a girl. Courage and weapon skill did not figure in a man's choice of a wife. Certainly not in the case of Brandt, the Headman's handsome son and the boy she saw in her dreams. Her chance comes, when Brandt unexpectedly asks her to take him hunting in the Holbreth. But the day does not end as she hoped, or expected. Mouse becomes caught up in the perilous events of the wide world outside her sheltered valley when she and Brandt meet Orlean, Captain of the Guard, Reslou, Duke of Anjoun and the Shepherd, Vindelf. She agrees to lead the strangers across the mountain's spine; the quickest route to the Seamly Court, home of the reclusive Fae, but the path ahead leads through the cursed city of Kadem and the heart of Az-Aziel's forest realm. Only the Seamly Court offers security, yet hangs the fate of men on a single defining decision. Mouse must find the courage to risk all she has just gained to stand for what she believes is right. "True Heart" is the story of a young woman learning that her worth is not found in a man's superficial judgment of beauty, but in courage and character. Reader Reviews: "This book is teen-YA fantasy at it's best!"

One Life Well and Truly Promised by Richard D. Parker Price verified one hour ago

It began six thousand years ago, before the birth of the Akkadian Empire, with a pair of young lovers. Destinies entwined around a first, pure love, a tragic ending, and a promise. "I want you to promise me a life," she whispered so softly he barely heard her. She slowly sat up and searched the gloom of the hut warily. "Akhila!" Akintunde hissed quietly, glancing about fearfully. It was strictly taboo to speak of future lives and a well-known harbinger of ill luck. If an attentive god should hear, whether good or evil, they might strike you dead so that you could quickly begin the new life you so coveted. Akhila flinched but quickly regained her resolve. "I'm afraid Tunde," she admitted and then leaned closer and lowered her voice. "The gods could all be gone... or dead. One life... just one full life... promise." Akintunde paused, straining his senses, wildly searching for the presence of a god. Of course, he failed in the endeavor, but his eyes fearfully scanned the interior of the hut nevertheless. "I promise," he mouthed, just above a whisper and a wave of dread swept through him. Though there was no outward sign of change, he knew his words were the beginning. He could feel it. The destiny of his soul had been forever changed. Spanning the breadth of recorded history, this timeless historical saga follows two unfortunate lovers across the globe in their never-ending quest to fulfill a promise of love and life. Through the Polynesian South Pacific, to the tribal lands of the Iceni in early Britain, fortune contrives again and again to keep the entangled souls apart. From war-torn Japan in the twelfth century, to the mountainous tea regions of Darjeeling, Bengal, the two lovers struggle to reunite. Until finally, in the fertile fields of the American Midwest, the story culminates in ways even destiny could not have imagined.

When they were hiding in the Bitterroot Mountains, I felt like I was right there with them." "Cult leader wants twins for his child brides, his double portion from God... polygamy raises its ugly head." Beautiful preteen twins Rachel and Janie Lemon are desperate to avoid the fate of their older sister Mary, who at thirteen was forced to marry the polygamous Prophet of Sheba Hill. Their determination leads to an aborted escape attempt, and the cult leader sends the girls to a retraining center deep in Montana's Bitterroot Mountains.

Justin and the twins plan an escape in mid-winter through the Bitterroots.

Their adventures in the mountains include searches for food, shelter, water, and warmth -- all the while looking over their shoulders for the pursuing cult members.

Printing and Prophecy: Prognostication and Media Change 1450-1550 (Cultures Of Knowledge In The Early Modern World) by Jonathan Green (University of Michigan Press) (5 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

Printing and Prophecy: Prognostication and Media Change 1450-1550 examines prognostic traditions and late medieval prophetic texts in the first century of printing and their effect on the new medium of print. The many prophetic and prognostic works that followed Europe's earliest known printed book---not the Gutenberg Bible, but the Sibyl's Prophecy, printed by Gutenberg two years earlier and known today only from a single page---over the next century were perennial best sellers for many printers, and they provide the modern observer with a unique way to study the history and inner workings of the print medium. The very popularity of these works, often published as affordable booklets, raised fears of social unrest. Printers therefore had to meet customer demand while at the same time channeling readers' reactions along approved paths. Authors were packaged---and packaged themselves---in word and image to respond to the tension, while leading figures of early modern culture such as Paracelsus, Martin Luther, and Sebastian Brant used printed prophecies for their own purposes in a rapidly changing society. Based on a wide reading of many sources, Printing and Prophecy contributes to the study of early modern literature, including how print changed the relationship among authors, readers, and texts. The prophetic and astrological texts the book examines document changes in early modern society that are particularly relevant to German studies and are key texts for understanding the development of science, religion, and popular culture in the early modern period. By combining the methods of cultural studies and book history, this volume brings a new perspective to the study of Gutenberg and later printers.

When dealing with a book that aims to better your existence, the common idea that comes to mind is something like the usual and common 10 ways to do this, 100 ways to do that, or 101 ways to get things done, but because this book is not your regular self-help or life hack book, it undoubtedly has to go beyond the regular things that are all over the place. So, it is pretty simple. The author didn't write the classics: the 100 things no one has ever told you, the 5 habits that will change your life, 101 ideas to improve your life, or something like that, which are the whole number in marketing and communication as a means of persuasion and attention grabbing, and this should suggest to you that this book contains information that you cannot find randomly at any location. A Sneak Peak From The Book: • Manure • Something Is Better Than Nothing • The Week Of The "Giveuppers" • Forrest Gump Method • Routine • The Pale Blue Dot • Ninety Two Percent • Coast To Coast • Enjoy Life • Resistance • What's Your Excuse? • Become A Billionaire • Earn Money With Your Passions And Many More...

The Cowboy's Daughter (Three Sisters Ranch Book 1) by Jamie K. Schmidt (2,991 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

She's moved home, but can she move on? One night with professional bull rider Trent Campbell had been everything that Kelly Sullivan had fantasized about. Unfortunately, it cost her everything. When she became pregnant, her father threw her out because she wouldn't tell him the baby's father was his rodeo hero -- the hero who ghosted her when she tried so many times to tell him about their daughter. Trent Campbell never forgot the best night of his life. It was what kept him going when a 2,000-lbs bull ended his career and almost his life. Throughout his long recovery, thinking of Kelly and wishing he still had his stolen phone so he could contact her, were what got him through the tough days -- that, and his bull-headed stubbornness that he'd not only walk again, he'd ride. When Kelly returns to Last Stand, Texas, in a last-ditch effort to keep her family from selling the Three Sisters Ranch, she has a plan to make her father proud of her again by turning part of the land into a portrait studio location. Her father, however, has already temporary leased Trent some land for a rodeo school. Kelly and Trent still have the same explosive chemistry, but now the stakes are higher. If she lets Trent into her life, it won't only be her heart he breaks this time if he leaves, it will be their daughter's.

The Lost City of Antarctica, Ancient Earth’s First Civilization by M.G. Hawking (27 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Explore Evidence of an Ancient Lost City on the Antarctic Continent. For decades the archaeological community labored under the theory that human civilization began only following the last Ice Age. Contemporary discoveries have dramatically undermined that conjecture. Modern research has unearthed hidden cities one after another -- archaeology now reconstructs an unsuspected antiquity of man and paints a canvas of stunningly mysterious dimensions. Previous academic accounts of the origins of civilization have fallen forfeit to evidence from archaeological sites worldwide, including Thebes (c. 37,900 BC), Edfu (c. 18,000 BC), Turkey (c. 12,000 BC), Bolivia (c. 15,000 BC), Indonesia (c. 22,000 BC), and most intriguingly, in Antarctica. To explore these remarkable finds and their implications, the explorations in this book are organized as follows: ? Part I: The Ancient Civilizations -- Provides archaeological background and information regarding the pre-Younger Dryas Boundary event civilizations, circa 10,770 BC or earlier, and the known cataclysmic astronomical events that eradicated most evidence of prehistoric civilization from the historical record. Examines the ancient traditions and extant evidence of the accomplishments and technology of currently known ancient cultures. ? Part II: A Very Ancient City in Antarctica -- Provides a detailed account of the satellite imaging evidence for the remains of an extensive Paleocene civilization existing under the ice of Antarctica, including "intelligently-made structures, resembling some sort of pyramidal and rectangular buildings." Also examines the ice-core derived, isotopic record from the Paleogene and Neogene geologic periods indicating that the infrastructure of an advanced civilization existed on the Antarctic continent approximately 55.5 million years ago, and may have been inhabited for 300,000 or more years. Examines additional evidence of anomalous high-energy particles emitting from the Antarctic ice ...

Most dishes in Laos contain herbs and vegetables, noodles or rice and beef, pork, chicken or fish. Only the freshest available ingredients are used, and Lao recipes are usually made from scratch. Foods in Laos are served often in a communal dish. Sticky or glutinous rice is eaten more commonly than white Japanese rice. They sometimes cook with bamboo tubes, using fermented, spicy fish sauce and herbs like lemon grass and galangal. Cooks in Laos strive to create a balance between sweet and sour, fresh, cooked, bitter, mild, spicy and salty. Color and texture are very important in Lao dishes. Come on, let's try it!
