Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soul Thief. Bartender. Bounty Hunter. When offered a job on the Holy Representative's special security team, bounty hunter Zyan Star couldn't be less interested - until she finds out it's her most hated of exes they're trying to track down. She's had over two hundred years to fantasize about revenge. She just didn't quite imagine it playing out alongside the emissaries of Heaven. Working with Eli, the uptight angel who heads up the HR's security, is just about as much fun as Zy expects. He of course wants her ex brought to justice through legal avenues, which is very inconvenient and incredibly boring. As she dives into the case, however, she realizes there's more at stake than her plot for payback. Like, the free will of mankind, and preventing the minions of hell from taking over the sovereign dimensions. This job is going to push her to the limits of her abilities, and there's just a slight problem with that: the powers she's suppressed for centuries after losing control of them are exactly the powers she's going to need to save the HR, end her millennia-old ex, and stop Lucifer's little plot to join the party and invade Earth. Savior of humanity? Not so much. Or so she thought. *** A sassy, sexy thrill ride of an urban fantasy by bestselling author A.A. Chamberlynn. Perfect for fans of Laurell K.

Book excerpt: In this new, expanded edition of Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails—issued for the 100th Anniversary of National Prohibition—historian, expert, and drink aficionado Ted Haigh, aka Dr. Cocktail vastly widens his examination of 1920–1933, the thirteen-year period when women got the Vote, child labor was abolished and, ironically, saw the cocktail elevated, prolonged, and expanded, spreading this signature American drink form in tasty ripples around the world. All this, plus more drink recipes! Nothing is so desired as the thing denied. Prohibition made people want cocktails very, very badly. Because "synthetic" liquor was the easiest to make, it was also the easiest to get. Problematically, it tasted awful and wasn't exactly good for you either. Cocktails with their mélange of flavors were a made-to-order method for disguising the bad hooch. Along with 100+ rare and delicious authentic recipes gathered from old cocktail manuals and scraps of paper never published, this illustrated trip down mixology lane tells the fascinating origins of the cocktail and how it evolved over time, including its rising popularity during Prohibition. Vintage illustrations and advertisements, photos of old bottles and cocktail artifacts, and fascinating Prohibition-era photographs bring the tippling past back to vivid life. Recipes for rare treasures like The Fogcutter, Knickerbocker à la Monsieur, The Moscow Mule, and Satan’s Whiskers are each presented with: Historical background on its origin and cultural context Drink Notes that provide additional information on ingredients and tips for substitutions and variations Fascinating historical ephemera from Dr. Cocktail's personal collection This homage to the great bartenders of the past and the beverages they created also profiles some of the most influential cocktail pioneers of today. For anyone who enjoys an icy drink and an unforgettable tale, this is a must-have volume.

Download or read book Marriage Is the Devil s Playhouse written by Anne Stone and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2002-05-07 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is not a book to be taken lightly, nor is it intended to be sensational. It is a serious result of three decades of painful soul-searching. Neither is the book to be considered disparaging of the institution of marriage. In many ways, it can be regarded as a psychological study of domestic abuse. In a graceful and sometimes humorous manner, Ms. Stone shares her life experiences with the reader so as to give a realistic insight into those horrendous experiences of abuse, which society in general prefers to regard as "behind closed doors" matters. The author apologizes for passages that the reader might consider indecent or obscene. This subject is an ugly and shameful part of our nation's heritage; and those accounts are needed to stress the obligation for changes. Ms. Stone realizes that the problems of this question of marriage lie in the grey morass of the conflicts of STATE and CHURCH. She feels that if ever we are to have stable family lives our representatives for study in this area must become more realistic, become more enlightened, and have the cooperation of the press and public.
