Download or read book My Stand In Lover written by Yuwanda Black and published by Inkwell Editorial Publishing. This book was released on 2020-01-24 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PREVIEW Ditched by a fiance. Betrayed by a friend. A desire for revenge. One life-changing weekend. *** He’d broken her heart once. Would she give him a chance to break it again? “What do you want Aaron?” Farrah asked. “Why are you really here?” “What if I said I made a mistake letting you go?” “Wh—what do you mean?” Farrah stammered, not believing her ears. He did not just say that? Did he? Her heart rate picked up speed. “What if I said I realize what a big mistake it was to let you go?” her ex-fiance, who was scheduled to be married in two days, said. Aaron walked over to the bed and sat beside Farrah. He took one of her hands in his. “This doesn’t make any sense,” Farrah said, almost to herself. His declaration totally threw her off balance. It was the last thing she expected. The very last. She looked at her hand in his. His touch. She’d dreamed about this for months. And her dream was miraculously coming true, but … Was her stand-in lover determined to become a more permanent fixture? The Irishman Their mating had been vicious, savage, barbaric … and beautiful. And Farrah wanted more of him. So much more. She hadn’t been consumed by this kind of desire since – since forever. Even Aaron, the man she’d loved for almost a decade, had never come close to making her do some of the things she’d done last night with this perfect stranger. He was wickedly beautiful. Sinfully sexy. Rakishly seductive. Soulfully encompassing. And all of this made him the perfect stand-in lover; the perfect man to show up with to her ex-fiance’s wedding. Aaron would be able to smell another man’s scent on her. She knew he would because the kind of mind-blowing coupling she’d experienced last night didn’t stay confined to the bedroom. It seeped out of your pores and brought a stupid grin to your face for the world to see, smell, crave, and wonder about. *** Her living room wall served as a bed. He pushed her up against it, lifted her off her feet and slammed himself home one last time – all without breaking the kiss that had ignited it all. Farrah release was so hard that her legs, which were wrapped tightly around his waist, fell limp against him. Finn grabbed a fistful of her hair and pulled her head to the side. He whispered in her ear, “He was a fool to let you go.” He zipped his jeans, planted a hard kiss on her lips and left her standing there, practically naked as he closed the door softly behind him. Farrah dropped to her knees and sobbed. The handsome Irishman left her body satiated, and her soul ripped to shreds. *** How could a perfect stranger recognize her value, and Aaron, the man she’d given everything to for years, discard her without even so much as a goodbye? God she hated him. And he would pay. Or, was the all-knowing Irishman right when he said she wanted her ex back? “There’s a thin line between love and hate, Farrah Jane,” he said, moving his hand up to encircle her waist. It didn’t help that he was helping her blur that line so wickedly.

Download or read book Josiah Royce in Focus written by Jacquelyn Ann K. Kegley and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-17 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new approach to Josiah Royce shows one of American philosophy's brightest minds in action for today's readers. Although Royce was one of the towering figures of American pragmatism, his thought is often considered in the wake of his more famous peers. Jacquelyn Ann K. Kegley brings fresh perspective to Royce's ideas and clarifies his individual philosophical vision. Kegley foregrounds Royce's concern with contemporary public issues and ethics, focusing in particular on how he addresses long-standing problems such as race, religion, community, the dangers of mass media, mass culture, and blatant individualistic capitalism. She offers a deep and fruitful philosophical exploration of Royce's ideas on conflict resolution, memory, self-identity, and self-development. Kegley's keen understanding and appreciation of Royce reintroduces him to a new generation of scholars and students.

Book excerpt: A sassy, delicious picture-book gem from the award–winning author of So B. It and the Caldecott Medal–winning illustrator and author of Stitches. Glamourpuss has it all. She has style. She has charm. And she knows how to strike a pose. Glamourpuss loves being the center of attention. So when an unwelcome guest (a dog, no less!) steals the spotlight with some tasteless bow-wowing and undignified tail-wagging, Glamourpuss worries that she’s going to fall out of fashion. Is there room for only one superstar in this mansion? When Glamourpuss makes her most majestic move to find out, the result is pure purrfection. “A joy to read aloud, this book features sophisticated language and plenty of space for the artist’s visual antics. A master of the page turn, Small provides hilarious scenes of ostentatious settings and preening, as well as moving moments of self-doubt . . . A blissful embrace will warm readers’ hearts at the conclusion of this smart and funny tale.” —School Library Journal “Sophisticated vocabulary and pop-culture references may well fly over the heads of children, making this fizzy, exuberant entertainment a treat that is best shared by an adult with a penchant for screwball comedy.” —Kirkus Reviews “Weeks’s narration is fittingly over-the-top and helps build empathic envy for a character who could otherwise come off as a spoiled brat. But it’s Small’s exuberant ink line and strategic washes of colors that make this book.” —Publishers Weekly

Download or read book Our Dog Benji written by Pete Carter and published by Exisle Publishing. This book was released on 2017-02-01 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all know that dogs will eat anything. We also know that kids’ tastes generally aren’t so wide-ranging. While ice cream and pizza might be devoured in the blink of an eye, the dreaded ‘green stuff’ (vegetables to the adults) is often pushed to one side of the plate. Author Pete Carter understands this phenomenon well, as he shows in the adventures of Benji. In delightful duotone illustrations and engaging text, we see how Benji’s willingness to eat anything — from daffodils to brussels sprouts, ice cream to avocados, sandwiches to bones — gradually inspires his child owner to be a little more adventurous at mealtimes. Although dogs and kids do have standards and it seems there’s one thing neither of them will touch! The perfect book to encourage fussy eaters to try a few more vegetables! Illustrator James Henderson is Pete Carter’s nephew, making this picture book a family affair.
