Dear Reader, this letter is to inform you of Cupid’s curse, which will fall upon you if you don’t pass this email on to three friends within three hours. Tilly Morrow didn’t believe in the curse and now she hasn’t had a second date in three years...because all her first dates end in disaster. In fact, she just accidentally punched a guy in the face, leaving her without a date for Valentine’s Day! Bryant Murphy isn’t sure if the curse is real or not, but if dating Tilly means occasionally getting assaulted with a chocolate shake or nearly electrocuted, it’s worth the risk. Armed with more lucky charms than a bowl of cereal, Bryant will have to battle flying swords, Russian mail-order brides, and shrimp linguini if he’s going to win the girl. Previously released on Entangled’s Flirt imprint - February 2014.

Book excerpt: He gave her Cupid's Curse. Now, he's got one last chance to win her over. Mallory James hates being a Cupid, almost as much as she hates the god who forced the curse on her. But the end of her contract with Eros is finally here. Ninety-nine matches made means she is now free to use the final piece of her heart for herself. And that's exactly what Eros is hoping for. Eros cursed Mallory, just like so many in his service, for the heart she broke. She's different though. The moment he sees her, Eros knows that Mallory is his. He should, after all. He's the god of love. Now, he'll have to convince her that they're meant to be...Before she gives the final piece of her heart away. Past lives, forgotten memories, and a world that Mallory has never been a part of all interfere with her plans. The biggest obstacle, however, comes when she finds one more couple who need help. Mallory can either keep the last piece of her heart for herself, or she can give it away knowing that she'll never find love again. Fans of Patricia Briggs and Bella Forrest will devour Cupid's Curse.

Book excerpt: Emma Green opened her eyes to a very dark room. She couldn't see her fingers in front of her eyes. She could only hear a man's heavy breathing and feel some unfamiliar pain.

Download or read book Preserving the Spell written by Armando Maggi and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once upon a time, glass slippers, poison apples, evil stepmothers, fairy godmothers, and princes charming exerted a magnetic hold, cast a magic spell, on adults and children alike. Real-life anxieties fostered a need for stories that assuage. But the world changes, and Maggi asks here whether fairy tales have found a way to transform themselves to keep up. He says no, they haven t. The genre of fairy tale has become contaminated, it has been entitized, like processed food, fossilized as Disney-esque icons. We need to rediscover the marvelous, the oneiric trance of dazzling dreams or horrid torments. We need a new mythic lens to help us understand reality, but to chart what that might be, it is necessary to understand the history of the various traditions of oral and written narrative that intersect with each other across time and space. He goes to Giambattista Basile for the Ur fairy tales, with a special focus on the emblematic Cupid and Psyche myth, an anchor for Maggi s wide-ranging investigation of essential variations on fairy tales (with oppositions of beauty/ugly, human/divine, apparent/real). The transformations of later Italian, French, English, and German traditions come to a head with the Brothers Grimm in 19t-century Germany. Maggi brilliantly weaves the traditions into the 20th century, in memoirs such as those by Joan Didion, in postmodern novels such as Robert Coover s, and, in a final manifestation, in the convulsively, bleakly beautiful movie, "Beasts of the Southern Wild." This book offers profound reflections on reading fairy tales, on the inherent human need for narrative-myth (and, ultimately, for hope), showing us why we tell tales and how these stories transform over time. He offers, in an appendix, the first translation of the original Grimm edition of Basile s 50 tales."
