Lois Faye Dyer About the Author:īook Description Mass Market Paperback. Fans and new readers alike will love the fast-paced plot, compelling characters, high-octane sensuality, and the well-drawn English setting. New York Times bestselling author Lisa Kleypas has another winner on her hands with this follow-up to Lady Sophia’s Lover. For Charlotte, "the challenge of taming him, matching his powerful will with her own, was too tempting to resist." For Nick, "if he could not have her, this endless feeling of being hungry, unsatisfied, cold, would never leave him." But will their love be enough to defeat the obsessed nobleman who covets Charlotte and the thirst for danger that tempts Nick, or is their future together doomed by the pain of their past? Once they’re drawn into each other’s worlds, they’re forced to face difficult truths and are compelled to acknowledge the passion that burns between them. Neither Nick or Charlotte are wholly what they seem, for each have secrets too painful to reveal, and each has chosen to hide behind a false identity. Bow Street runner Nick Gentry is a complex man with a dark and tortured history, and beautiful Charlotte Howard is a woman running from her past. Regeneration describes how an inclusive movement can engage the majority of humanity to save the world from the threat of global warming, with climate solutions that directly serve our children, the poor, and the excluded. It is the first book to describe and define the burgeoning regeneration movement spreading rapidly throughout the world. Regeneration offers a visionary new approach to climate change, one that weaves justice, climate, biodiversity, equity, and human dignity into a seamless tapestry of action, policy, and transformation that can end the climate crisis in one generation. A radically new understanding of and practical approach to climate change by noted environmentalist Paul Hawken, creator of the New York Times bestseller Drawdown They formed a band that played publicly for the first time on radio stations in Hammond and Gary and performed in traveling country music shows. But his story as a performer really began in Indiana.Īt age 18, Monroe moved to Whiting to join two of his older brothers working at the Sinclair Oil Refinery. “Most Hoosiers have never heard of Bean Blossom, but all the bluegrass people in the world know where it is, and a lot of them come to it,” says Jim Peva, historian for Bill Monroe Music Park & Campground and a longtime friend of Monroe.Īcclaimed as the “father of bluegrass” in his New York Times obituary, Monroe was born in 1911 in Kentucky and spent most of his career in Tennessee where he performed regularly on Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry. (Woodstock, a one-time three-day rock ‘n roll concert, came two years later.) It’s just a notch in the road to motorists heading south from Indy on State Road 135 en route to the art colony at Nashville or Brown County State Park.īut to folks who know bluegrass, it’s Mecca - home to the nation’s oldest, continuously running bluegrass festival launched in 1967 by the legendary singer and mandolin-picker Bill Monroe. Before New York had Woodstock, Indiana had Bean Blossom. The same process that has made it possible for Lanyon to write a successful mainstream gay detective series has made it impossible (or at least implausible) for his character Holmes to posit outing as a plausible motive.Īnd yet, at the same time, the cozy detective novels - novels typically set in small towns with amateur sleuths - parallel the workings of the closet. The closet, except in very particular circumstances, has been emptied by the progress of gay rights. As the creator of the Miss Butterwith series of cozy mysteries, he knows that the closet no longer works as an impetus to murder. “I’D … USED the blackmailed-for-being-homosexual, and except in the case of politicians and public figures, that motive had pretty much rusted to a standstill,” Christopher Holmes admits in Josh Lanyon’s first Holmes and Moriarity mystery, Somebody Killed His Editor (2009). I thought it would be an engrossing tale into madness or something. Given the title, and even the cover, I thought it was going to be more "horror" with cool Lovecraft monsters and such. I read the synopsis and thought is sounded pretty cool, and plus, some people had been recommending the tv series. I came into this audiobook not really knowing much about it. Braithwhite-heir to the estate that owned one of Atticus’s ancestors-they encounter both mundane terrors of white America and malevolent spirits that seem straight out of the weird tales George devours.Ī chimerical blend of magic, power, hope, and freedom that stretches across time, touching diverse members of two black families, Lovecraft Country is a devastating kaleidoscopic portrait of racism-the terrifying specter that continues to haunt us today. When his father Montrose goes missing, 22-year-old Army veteran Atticus Turner embarks on a road trip to New England to find him, accompanied by his Uncle George-publisher of The Safe Negro Travel Guide-and his childhood friend Letitia. Abrams (executive producer of Westworld ), Misha Green (creator of Underground ), and Jordan Peele (director of Get Out and Us ), this brilliant and imaginative novel by critically acclaimed author Matt Ruff makes visceral the terrors of Jim Crow America, melding historical fiction, pulp noir, and Lovecraftian horror.Ĭhicago, 1954. Tripp begins his book by advocating for parents to realize that they are not owners of their children but ambassadors for Christ in the raising of their children. Tripp focuses more on the big picture than specific discipline techniques and continually reminds parents that lasting change begins in the heart, both for parents and children alike.įrom the beginning it is obvious that Tripp’s book is not your typical parenting book, even within the Christian parenting book market. Paul Tripp’s Parenting: 14 Gospel Principles That Can Radically Change Your Family is a refreshing book in this space. They often vary widely in their approaches to discipline, views of the sinfulness of children, and even the primary responsibility of parents. When it comes to the topic of parenting there is no lack of books available. This book is a perfect historical romance. There is something about Daphne and Simon that I adore. I previously read some of the others in the series but I really wanted to read this first book in the Bridgerton book series and I have to say, it was my favorite. The Duke and I (Bridgerton #1) by Julia Quinn
