FROM EXCITING ROMANCE AUTHOR HANNAH MURRAY Book four in the Perfect Taboo series Never make a bet with a Dom... It' s a bad idea under any circumstances, and when the Dom is Jack— a sadist with a perpetual frown and no discernible sense of humor— it' s a really bad idea. But backing down isn' t in Sadie' s DNA, and by the time her self-preservation instincts kick in, it' s too late— she' s lost the bet and owes Jack a scene. Jack' s been waiting for a chance to have Sadie all to himself from the moment he saw her, but the timing' s never been right. Now, thanks to her sassy mouth overriding her common sense, his patience is paying off. She owes him a scene, and he intends to collect. But one scene does not a relationship make, and Jack wants Sadie for more than an occasional play partner— he wants her as his lover, his partner... and his submissive. Problem is Sadie' s not interested in serious, and showing his cards too soon could send her running. If he' s going to win the day— and the girl— he' ll have to play his hand at just the right time. If he doesn' t overplay it first.

“Phartom of the Opera – A Classic of the Gasses” was a witty and fun written book by Frank A. Pellegrino. Frank was 82 years old when he finished this book and as he so often said, he hoped all who would read this book would not be offended and would enjoy the laughter so many appreciate about Mother Nature and her gastric processes in our bodies. We all at some point in our daily lives experience excessive gas in our stomachs and while some find this disgusting others find very funny. This book “Captain Pharto Disciplines the Brats” is a take off sequel of the return to “Phartom of the Opera – A Classic of the Gasses” You see, writer friends of Aliceanne Pellegrino-Henricks liked to play with Sticks, Bricks and play terrible tricks. Various disciplines on Earth had been applied, but the writer brats became incorrigible and Granny Aliceanne tried out many forms of discipline. When all seemed to fail, Granny Aliceanne went to Captain Pharto and asked for his help in a different kind of discipline. So enjoy your Pharto Blasto Flights throughout the Universe and perhaps you may want to wear a mask while reading. Since Frank passed away December 3, 2006 and was not able to complete his Pharto Blasto Missions with these brats. His widow, Aliceanne agreed to write the finishing episodes and hopefully while disciplining the brats in each episode they will entertain you and bring you much laughter. All the episodes are entertaining and of course untrue and the brats unharmed.

She looked at the rotting, sun-blasted shack, the one room where they all lived, slept, made love, died. Looked at the dusty lawn where no grass grew. At the steaming swamp, at her tobacco-spitting mother. Saw the sly, lustful eyes of her father’s friends. Then she looked at her own lush beauty. Get me out of here, she prayed. Oh, please get me out of here! I’ll pay any price.

Although it might be loosely classified as a memoir, no one has ever written anything quite like this. It describes middle-class childhood in the 1930's through the relationships between five boys, and it breathes of foolishness, fantasy, improbability, and charm. A snake suddenly appears out of a hot air register and disrupts a bridge party, a young violinist forgets how to end his solo at a commencement and plays on (and on), a boat on wheels vibrates itself apart and a mysterious bullhead catfish substitutes for Moby Dick, then vanishes without drowning anybody. The author, a former writer at Time Incorporated who became a distinguished historian, has written an enchanting book, its chapters organized topically rather than sequentially--each devoted to a subject like cowboying, radio serials, wheels, indoor and outdoor games, love of steam locomotives, and discovery of sex. The final chapter suggests that the end of childhood coincides with an awareness that life can be wistful and poignant. And it concludes that buyouts and proto-globalization helped bring an end to that civic and regional integrity which underlay American life before television.
