Download or read book Pack of Two written by Caroline Knapp and published by Dial Press. This book was released on 2010-08-10 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the age of 36, Caroline Knapp, author of the acclaimed bestseller Drinking:A Love Story, found herself confronted with a monumental task: redefining her world. She had faced the loss of both her parents, given up a twenty-year relationship with alcohol, and, as she writes, "I was wandering around in a haze of uncertainty, blinking up at the biggest questions: Who am I without parents and without alcohol? How to form attachments, and where to find comfort, in the face of such daunting vulnerability?" An answer materialized in the most unlikely form: that of a dog. Eighteen months to the day after she quit drinking, Knapp stumbled upon an eight-week-old puppy at a local animal shelter, took her home, and named her Lucille. Now two years old, Lucille has become a central force in Knapp's life: "In her," she writes, "I have found solace, joy, a bridge to the world." Caroline Knapp has been celebrated as much for her fresh insight into emotional and psychological issues as she has been for her gifts as a writer. In Pack of Two, she brings the same perception and talent to bear on the rich, complicated terrain of human-animal relationships. In addition to mining her own experience with Lucille, Knapp speaks to a wide variety of dog people--from animal behaviorists and psychologists to other owners whose dogs have deeply affected their lives--about this emotionally complex, sometimes daunting, often profoundly healing alliance. Throughout, she explores the shift in canine roles from working partners to intimate companions and looks, too, at how this new kinship, this wordless bond, becomes a template for what we most desire ourselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A witch and a werewolf. A pack of two. Master Sergeant Breanna Welker loves hockey games, cheesy fries, and being second in command of the U.S. Army's Bravo Company. The fact that her commanding officer is a vampire and most of her fellow soldiers are werewolves doesn't slow her down a bit. Her colorful vocabulary and uncompromising loyalty have endeared her to her unit, who don't give a damn she's a shape-shifting witch. Lucas Benelli can't boast the same loyalty from the people close to him. His father is the Alpha of the largest known werewolf pack in the world–a pack Lucas is expected to be the leader of. But Lucas has spent most of his life avoiding contact with his father's pack and they don't seem to like him much either. Together, they forge a connection not even Lucas's dysfunctional pack or Breanna's meddling unit can break–and come face-to-face with the hardest choice either of them has ever had to make. CONTENT WARNING: Includes a horde of evil witches, and one deliciously wicked witch with Mother Nature at her beck and call. 95,000 Words

Download or read book Alpha Theo written by C. J. Primer and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-09-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SIX-PACK SERIES BOOK TWO * While this book can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading book one (Alpha Gray) for context before starting in on this one. * This book is very different from book one- it's a slow burn, and it's a very bumpy ride. You've been warned! THEO: I'm next in line to be the alpha of my pack, but my father doesn't think I'm ready. In his eyes, I'll never be- he wants me to grow up, straighten up, to be someone I'm just... not. At least I've got the security squad in the meantime, and I'm taking on more responsibility by working with the squad's IT unit. I assumed working with a bunch of computer geeks would be boring as hell, but the new girl on the unit has me intrigued. I'm used to getting any girl I want, yet she's rebuffed all of my advances. She's a goody-goody, thinks she's too good for me- and hell, she probably is, but that won't stop me from trying to get in her pants. Underneath every good girl persona is a bad girl just dying to get out. Challenge accepted. BROOKE: All I wanted to do when I came to work for the IT unit at the security squad was keep my head down and do my job. I was doing it pretty well, too, until Theo got assigned as the liaison between the IT unit and squad leadership. I had a crush on him as a kid, but now that he's grown he's a foul-mouthed, womanizing hothead; a total alpha-hole. Other girls may fall for this good looks and his devil-may-care attitude, but I'm smarter than that. He's hanging around the IT unit to observe and report, but he's zeroed in on me for some reason; keeps trying to get under my skin. And just when I think I can escape him, fate delivers the cruelest twist yet. ~ The Six-Pack Series is a collection of werewolf shifter romance novels.

Basically, it's a perfect choice for those who don't want super sweet or super dark. Pack Darling is just right.” – Rambling Reader, Goodreads “I honestly can't give enough stars to this book. I think it easily deserves six, seven or even eight stars, but unfortunately there is no option to add extra stars, so I'm gonna have to go with five and an amazing review. But somehow I doubt a review can really do justice to this amazing book.” – Ines, Goodreads “I love the books that sneak up on you!....Oh my goodness. I have to wait until September for book two. I am dying inside from anticipation. I read this twice in three days! How many more times will I read it between now and then!? I highly recommend this book for people who enjoy Lily Archer's Omega Academy. Pack Darling is similar in awesomeness without aliens.
