Book excerpt: Enjoy this steamy Scottish romance series by award-winning romantic comedy author Evie Alexander! Brace yourself Scotland, Hollywood’s coming… Rory MacGinley wants to propose to his girlfriend, Zoe Maxwell. But what can he offer her when he’s broke, his mother’s out to destroy her, and Kinloch castle is falling down? A Hollywood superstar landing on his doorstep may seem the dream solution, but Brad Bauer’s an absolute nightmare. Brad believes in pixies, past lives, and rewriting history for his movie, Braveheart 2. And when he descends on the tiny village of Kinloch accompanied by crazy celebrities and a mystical holy man, it’s not just the castle that comes under siege. One hot (and bothered) grump in a kilt, one bonkers Hollywood megastar, and a feisty redhead who’s trying to stop them killing each other. When Hollywood meets the Highlands, things will never be the same again… Hollywood Games is a laugh-out-loud, standalone, super-steamy, small town romantic comedy with a guaranteed happily ever and no cheating or cliffhanger – Perfect for fans of Lucy Score, Pippa Grant, Kayley Loring, Tara Sivec, Lauren Landish, Lauren Blakely and Nicole Snow. It can be read as a standalone but is best enjoyed after the award-winning romcom, Highland Games. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Author Josie Juniper loves it! Hollywood Games is the second book in the Kinloch Series, and I adored the first one… utterly charming romcom with everything I love in a heartfelt-and-hilarious romance with just enough angst. Is book two equally delicious? Yes, my darlings. Smoking hot gentle giant with mad bedroom skills? Yep. Utterly winning and quirky FMC who’s so relatable as to make the story that much more immersive? Hell yes. A cast of vivid and delightful supporting characters you grow to love so much that you’re dyyyyyying for them each to have their own book? Oh, indeed. (And MANY OF THEM DO! *squeeeeee!*) Scorching spice? *fans self dramatically* The subplots are massively engaging, handled with Evie Alexander’s deft hand and trademark wit and warmth. The banter is top-shelf. Tension simmers, and the roller coaster ride of emotion is one you’ll want to board again and again. I just love hanging out with these people SO D*MNED MUCH—this book absolutely goes in the “will re-read” category.

Download or read book Understanding Video Game Music written by Tim Summers and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-08 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding Video Game Music develops a musicology of video game music by providing methods and concepts for understanding music in this medium. From the practicalities of investigating the video game as a musical source to the critical perspectives on game music - using examples including Final Fantasy VII, Monkey Island 2, SSX Tricky and Silent Hill - these explorations not only illuminate aspects of game music, but also provide conceptual ideas valuable for future analysis. Music is not a redundant echo of other textual levels of the game, but central to the experience of interacting with video games. As the author likes to describe it, this book is about music for racing a rally car, music for evading zombies, music for dancing, music for solving puzzles, music for saving the Earth from aliens, music for managing a city, music for being a hero; in short, it is about music for playing.
