Download or read book Crazy Town written by Robyn Doolittle and published by Penguin Canada. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: His drug and alcohol-fuelled antics made world headlines and engulfed a city in unprecedented controversy. Toronto Mayor Rob Ford’s personal and political troubles have occupied centre stage in North America’s fourth largest city since news broke that men involved in the drug trade were selling a videotape of Ford appearing to smoke crack cocaine. Toronto Star reporter Robyn Doolittle was one of three journalists to view the video and report on its contents in May 2013. Her dogged pursuit of the story has uncovered disturbing details about the mayor’s past and embroiled the Toronto police, city councilors, and ordinary citizens in a raucous debate about the future of the city. Even before those explosive events, Ford was a divisive figure. A populist and successful city councillor, he was an underdog to become mayor in 2010. His politics and mercurial nature have split the amalgamated city in two. But there is far more to the story. The Fords have a long, unhappy history of substance abuse and criminal behavior. Despite their troubles, they are also one of the most ambitious families in Canada. Those close to the Fords say they often compare themselves to the Kennedys and believe they were born to lead. Regardless of whether the mayor survives the scandal, the Ford name is on the ballot in the mayoralty election of 2014. Fast-paced and insightful, Crazy Town is a page-turning portrait of a troubled man, a formidable family and a city caught in an jaw-dropping scandal.

And so, he lived amongst humans without spilling human blood. Two hundred years later, his mother is killed and he blamed humans. Sebastian became lost to rage and bitterness, embracing his darker and more brutal nature. After a year of vicious killings of humans to exact vengeance, he comes upon the young child of a woman he had just killed. Sebastian’s bloodlust came to a sudden and unexpected halt as he stands over this child. He can’t bring himself to hurt the girl, he knew then he had found the seed of his ultimate salvation. He named her Hanna after his own mother, found her a family to raise her and provided for her anonymously, while he went far away to fight his demons. However, as years went by, thoughts of Hanna consumed him. He returned seventeen years later to see how she fared but her beauty struck him. He planned an “accidental” meeting, which does not go well. Sebastian planned to leave her to her life as he believed himself unworthy of her love but before he leaves Hanna once again, he learned that vampires and wolves were after her.

Book excerpt: Permission To Approach According to Judge Bennett Walker, trying to kill him is a dumb idea. They might make him wear a big black nightgown to work, but it covers a lot of muscles, and he's definitely packing beneath it. He's also an ex-prosecutor and an ex-GI Joe. So when his brother brings in Callie Robbins to protect him, Ben has a few issues. First, he doesn't need a bodyguard. Second, she's a 130-pound girl--more smoking hot than smoking gun. And third, what if his body wants her guarding the night shift? Callie has no problem brushing aside Ben's disbelief. She left the FBI to escape the boys' club, but she can be deeper undercover and twice as lethal as any beefy John Doe. As for whether someone's after Bennett or not, the death threats and car bombs look pretty convincing to Callie. Of course, she might get distracted, sitting inches from the sexiest judge in DC for ten hours a day. Keeping him safe is no picnic. Keeping it professional--that might be impossible. "She's a delight!"--Christina Dodd "So smart, sexy and fast paced. I devour her stories." --Lori Foster
