![]() When she meets Gage Holt, the sexy part owner of club Sin, she's in for the sexiest ride of her life. I am a big fan of the Brazen titles and when a new series or book comes out I am super excited to read them! It was my first time reading a book by author Elle Kennedy and it won't be my last!Good girl Skyler Thompson wants to take a walk on the wild side. Review 2: Elle Kennedy's sexy new series, After Hours, is new to me. I do look forward to continuing with this series to see where Elle Kennedy decides to take us. This book does set itself up for more of the secondary characters to be come a part of the series, which I thought was really smart. I especially like the “Out of Uniform” series. ![]() ![]() I am still a huge fan of her and her books. This doesn’t mean that I am giving up on Elle Kennedy by any means. Maybe if the book was longer and I got to see a little more teasing and playfulness from the characters, I could truly believe the passion behind the words. I think, even though I really can’t say for sure, that it was the fact that it was all too quick. ![]() Gage was perfectly sexy when he first sees Skyler in his club and their time out in the alley was hot. She always writes the perfect guy and the best steamy moments but for some reason, I could not get into this book. Review 1: Normally, I love Elle Kennedy’s books. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Moving from Brooklyn to Harlem is a tough change for Miles to deal with, all on top of learning the ropes as a new Spider-Man and still trying to be a regular teenage boy all at once. After the death of his father, he and his mother move in with his grandmother in Spanish Harlem. In this story, we find Miles Morales ready to make a big move in his life. This isn’t a novelization of the game it’s a completely separate story from the one told in the video game. If you’ve yet to play the game and don’t want it spoiled for you, don’t worry. (Thank you to Titan Books for sending the book for us to review.) And without giving the entire book away, do know that the novel in no way spoils major plot elements of the game. The complete title of the book is Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales – Wings of Fury, written by Brittney Morris. And on top of that, the game received a companion novel to complement the game. ![]() ![]() With the demand for more Miles at an all-time high, it culminated in a spinoff/sequel PlayStation game called Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, released in November. The love for the Marvel character Miles Morales has been sweeping the world in the last few years, and we’ve seen that passion grow with the movie Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Miles’ appearance in the game Marvel’s Spider-Man, both in 2018. Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales – Wings of Fury will charm readers who are fans of Spider-Man, Miles Morales, the latest video game, or all three combined. ![]() ![]() ![]() Stills: (From L-R) Michael Shannon, Sally Hawkins and Octavia Spencer in the film THE SHAPE OF WATER.

Using innovative research techniques and a vast range of unexpected sources this book tracks the rise and decline of the British autodidact from the pre-industrial era to the twentieth century."-BOOK JACKET "Which books did the British working classes read - and how did they read them? How did they respond to canonical authors, penny dreadfuls, classical music, school stories, Shakespeare, Marx, Hollywood movies, imperialist propaganda, the Bible, the BBC, the Bloomsbury Group? What was the quality of their classroom education, as they experienced it? How did they educate themselves? What was their level of cultural literacy: how much did they know about politics, science, history, philosophy, poetry, and sexuality?

She’s eccentric, chronically late, often literally covered in dirt-and so unbelievably beautiful, he can’t focus on anything else. But having Hallie gardening right outside his window is the ultimate distraction. On sabbatical from his ivy league job, Julian plans to write a novel. ![]() ![]() One wine-fueled girls’ night later, Hallie can’t shake the sense that she did something reckless-and then she remembers the drunken secret admirer letter she left for Julian. But the grumpy professor isn’t the teenager she remembers and their polar opposite personalities clash spectacularly. Now the prodigal hottie has returned to Napa Valley and when Hallie is hired to revamp the gardens on the Vos estate, she wonders if she’ll finally get that smooch. Hallie Welch fell hard for Julian Vos at fourteen, after they almost kissed in the dark vineyards of his family’s winery. This book single-handedly burned away my winter blues. This is such a fun romp of a read: bursting with heat, swoony characters and gorgeous gorgeous girls with gorgeous gorgeous flowers. In her fifteen years of fantasizing about this man, she’d definitely neglected one of his best features. “Ultimately, a muscle popped in his cheek and he let her go, retreating to the opposite side of the island like last time, with his hands propped wide, dress sleeves rolled up his elbows. ![]() ![]() ![]() So mesmerizing you cannot stop.A crackle of surprises."-*Carl Hiaasen "Sleek and nasty.A big scary, suspenseful read, and I loved every minute of it."-Stephen King "A cop and a killer you will remember for a long, long time."-Robert B.

I was drawn to it because of its title and its historical reference – a man found buried in a peat bog on the Isle of Lewis.
