Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cataleya Rojas is the glue that holds her family together. Their needs often come before hers, and she never has a problem with that. When her strung out mother unexpectedly overdoses, she knows it’s time for a change. That change falls in her lap when her father, whom she hasn’t seen much of over the years, offers her the opportunity to come stay with him. Little does she know, his open invitation comes with a hidden agenda. She always wants a taste of the lavish lifestyle, and she’s going to get just that when she goes to stay with him. Living the lavish lifestyle doesn’t come for free, though. It comes with murder, drugs, guns, and money. Things aren’t as they seem, and by the time she figures this out, she will be in way over her head. There is an upside to the sudden move, and that upside is Cezar. Cezar is the leader of his mob, and they only have one agenda—taking out the Colombian Cartel. Cataleya’s father just so happens to be the boss of this cartel, and he’s never been tricked out of his spot. He’s older than most of the new cats in the game, and with old age, comes experience. Yet, that doesn’t stop Cezar from setting his sights on his empire. While he’s fighting to go after what he wants, he finds himself falling for Cataleya. There’s one thing he doesn’t know about her... She’s the heart of the cartel. Will finding out that the girl he wants is in the middle of the cartel he’s after change his mind about her? Will Cataleya be able to keep her head above water as she’s thrown into trials and tribulations? Is this love meant to be, or is seeking after the heart of the cartel just impossible? Which side will come out on top? When truths come out, hearts will be crushed, sides will have to be chosen, and someone may end up having to pay for it all... in blood.

Download or read book Beyond Bombshells written by Jeffrey A. Brown and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2015-09-09 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond Bombshells analyzes the cultural importance of strong women in a variety of current media forms. Action heroines are now more popular in movies, comic books, television, and literature than they have ever been. Their spectacular presence represents shifting ideas about female agency, power, and sexuality. Beyond Bombshells explores how action heroines reveal and reconfigure perceptions about how and why women are capable of physically dominating roles in modern fiction, indicating the various strategies used to contain and/or exploit female violence. Focusing on a range of successful and controversial recent heroines in the mass media, including Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games books and movies, Lisbeth Salander from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo novels and films, and Hit-Girl from the Kick-Ass movies and comic books, Jeffrey A. Brown argues that the role of action heroine reveals evolving beliefs about femininity. While women in action roles are still heavily sexualized and objectified, they also challenge preconceived myths about normal or culturally appropriate gender behavior. The ascribed sexuality of modern heroines remains Brown's consistent theme, particularly how objectification intersects with issues of racial stereotyping, romantic fantasies, images of violent adolescent and preadolescent girls, and neoliberal feminist revolutionary parables. Individual chapters study the gendered dynamics of torture in action films, the role of women in partnerships with male colleagues, young women as well as revolutionary leaders in dystopic societies, adolescent sexuality and romance in action narratives, the historical import of nonwhite heroines, and how modern African American, Asian, and Latina heroines both challenge and are restricted by longstanding racial stereotypes.
