Book excerpt: If a hunky baseball star offered to give you anything you desired, what would you ask for? Ginny Mom told me I should accept my boyfriend’s proposal and settle down, raise a family, have a good life. She didn’t say anything about him cheating on me the night before our wedding--with my best friend! Now, I’m a runaway bride with no job, no apartment, only this beat-up old Mini Cooper. And because I’m such a good mama’s girl, I still have my v-card! I’m instantly attracted to the hunky baseball star who saves my life--from a bear named Henry! He's my ultimate male fantasy, a literal dream come true--the baseball star, not the bear! Lol. But I barely know him. (Still talking about baseball guy!) How can I trust him after I've already been let down by my former fiance? Yet the more I get to know him, the more I start to feel as if we're forever lovers, connected by an invisible string. Now, I need to decide whether to trust this feeling--or cut the string. Rick I’m still grieving over the loss of the love of my life. Between my pro baseball career, my dark childhood, and caring for her, I never had time for relationships. But when I meet Ginny, stunningly beautiful and crying in a wedding trousseau being pursued by a bear, I feel an overwhelming desire to be with her. I’m determined to prove to her that she deserves happiness. I spend the week pleasing her in every way possible and having the time of my life. Making her happy makes me happy. The more time we spend together, the more I become convinced she just might be my forever love. But I know it can't last beyond this week. Or can it? Catching the Curve is the spicy romcom featuring an age gap instalove between a pro baseball star and the curvy younger woman whom he invites into his cabin--and his heart. It features hilarious laugh-out-loud banter and situations, panty-melting steamy scenes, no cheating between the MCs, and an HEA ending guaranteed to leave a smile on your face and a happy tear in your eye. Oh, and there's also a bear named Henry who loves Taylor Swift. Because, well, who doesn't!

Book excerpt: On his old team, Tom Poulos was a star catcher. But his new team is different. For one thing, all the players are older and bigger than him. For another, no matter how hard he tries or how hard he practices, he can't catch the curve balls that the pitcher sends flying over the plate.

Download or read book The Curve Of Time written by M. Wylie Blanchet and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-27 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Time did not exist; or if it did it did not mater. Our world then was both wide and narrow—wide in the immensity of the sea and mountain; narrow in that the boat was very small, and we lived and camped, explored and swam in a little realm of our own making...” This is the fascinating true adventure story of a woman who packed her five children onto a twenty-five-foot boat and explored the coastal waters of British Columbia summer after summer in the 1920s and 1930s. Acting single-handedly as skipper, navigator, engineer and of course, mother, Muriel Wylie Blanchet saw her crew through exciting—and sometimes perilous—encounters with fog; rough seas, cougars, bears and whales, and did so with high spirits and courage. On these pages an independent woman with a deep respect for the native cultures of a region, and a refreshing wonderment about the natural world, comes to life. In The Curve of Time, she has left us with a sensitive and lyrically written account of their journeys and a timeless travel memoir not to be missed.

Download or read book Curveball written by Bob Drogin and published by Random House. This book was released on 2007-10-30 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A crucial study in the political manipulation of intelligence, understanding how Curveball got us into Iraq will arm us for the next round of lies coming out of Washington.”—Robert Baer, author of See No Evil: The True Story of a Ground Soldier in the CIA's War on Terrorism Curveball answers the crucial question of the Iraq war: How and why was America’s intelligence so catastrophically wrong? In this dramatic and explosive book, award-winning Los Angeles Times reporter Bob Drogin delivers a narrative that takes us to Europe, the Middle East, and deep inside the CIA to find the truth—the truth about the lies and self-deception that led us into a military and political nightmare. Praise for Curveball “Just when you thought the WMD debacle couldn’t get worse, here comes veteran Los Angeles Times national-security correspondent Drogin’s look at just who got the stories going in the first place. . . . Simultaneously sobering and infuriating—essential reading for those who follow the headlines.”—Kirkus Reviews “In this engrossing account, Los Angeles Times correspondent Drogin paints an intimate and revealing portrait of the workings and dysfunctions of the intelligence community.”—Publishers Weekly “An insightful and compelling account of one crucial component of the war's origins . . . Had Drogin merely pieced together Curveball's story, it alone would have made for a thrilling book. But he provides something more: a frightening glimpse at how easily we could make the same mistakes again. . . . The real value of Drogin's book is its meticulous demonstration that bureaucratic imperative often leads to self-delusion.”—Washington Monthly “Drogin delivers a startling account of this fateful intelligence snafu.”—Booklist “By the time you finish this book you will be shaking your head with wonder, or perhaps you will be shaking with anger, about the misadventures that preceded the misadventures in Iraq. This book is so powerful, it almost refutes its subtitle: The man called Curveball did not cause a war; he became a pretext—one among many.”—George F. Will
