Book excerpt: Michael Hawkins is mature, rich, and drop-dead sexy. He is also gay. And for some strange reason, he wants me to be his pretend girlfriend in exchange for a big sum of money. He has one condition though: I cannot get close to a man or be seen with one during the one year I'm contracted with him. I thought it'd be a piece of cake until I met his two grown-up, gloriously handsome sons, who won't take no for an answer. Including from me. I'll not fall for their cheap tricks even if it means I'll have to close my eyes each time I see them. And each time I close my eyes, I imagine their naked bodies doing sinful things to mine. God help me before my physical urges get the best of me, and the contract blows up in my face.

Book excerpt: I used to be a spoiled princess, a diva whose life revolved around clothes and expensive trips. Worth fifty million dollars only half a year ago, now I'm down to living on pennies. No more weekend escapades to Aspen or skinny-dipping in Barcelona for me. No more security guards or private chauffeurs. My designer clothes and exclusive jewelry are all gone. My life turned upside down when my father was charged for a crime he didn’t commit; a bomb explosion that took the lives of twelve people in the heart of Los Angeles. Hope comes in the form of a gorgeous man and a deal I have no alternative but to accept. Ethan Koenig, a mysterious businessman I haven't heard of before, offers me a helping hand that comes with conditions...conditions that send fear into my heart and delicious shivers down my body. Suspiciously familiar with my father's case, Ethan leads me toward dark secrets that go way beyond the bomb explosion. With each new revelation, I realize the man who's helping me might be the one behind it all. By the time I try to escape, it's too late. My heart is irrevocably lost to the man whose one and only purpose in life is to take revenge on my family.
Download or read book With Pleasure written by Paul R. Abramson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2002-10-17 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging everything from the mandates of the Catholic Church to the hotly debated ethics of pornography, and from the controversy surrounding gay rights to issues of gender and feminism, With Pleasure explores a new theory of human sexuality that ignites every hot topic in the public domain. What role, authors Paul Abramson and Steven Pinkerton ask, does sexual pleasure play in our lives? Is the pursuit of sexual enjoyment in our blood? Our brains? Our very nature? Regardless of the source, it can be agreed that the joys of sex are widely appreciated. Why, then, is pleasure so often overlooked in discussions of sexual behaviour, and why do cultural, historical, and religious treatises so often fail to emphasise, or outright ignore, this obvious aspect of human sexuality? Responding to these and many other questions about our most private affairs, With Pleasure provides a profoundly original challenge to the cherished truisms of human sexuality. Abramson and Pinkerton proclaim the paramount importance of pleasure, while at the same time overthrowing traditional ideas about gender, pornography, contraception, homosexuality, abortion, and much more. Supported by rigorous research and co-written by one of the foremost authorities on sex, With Pleasure argues that human sexuality cannot be understood if its significance is limited to reproduction alone. The authors posit that in humans reproduction itself occurs as a byproduct of pleasure--not the other way around--and that it is the strong drive for pleasure that makes people overcome many obstacles--and even life-threatening dangers such as AIDS--to have sex. Ranging from discussions about the church to current debates about pornography, and from evolutionary theory to questions about the future of sex and pleasure, Abramson and Pinkerton argue persuasively that the pleasurability of sex cannot be restricted to purely reproductive behaviour. With Pleasure advances a startling and original new theory about human sexuality, one which the authors believe will replace all existing notions about sex. The book, standing in direct and deliberate opposition to traditions that try to confine sexuality to procreation, is sure to ignite a firestorm of controversy.

Download or read book So We Read On written by Maureen Corrigan and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Fresh Air" book critic investigates the enduring power of The Great Gatsby -- "The Great American Novel we all think we've read, but really haven't." Conceived nearly a century ago by a man who died believing himself a failure, it's now a revered classic and a rite of passage in the reading lives of millions. But how well do we really know The Great Gatsby? As Maureen Corrigan, Gatsby lover extraordinaire, points out, while Fitzgerald's masterpiece may be one of the most popular novels in America, many of us first read it when we were too young to fully comprehend its power. Offering a fresh perspective on what makes Gatsby great -- and utterly unusual -- So We Read On takes us into archives, high school classrooms, and even out onto the Long Island Sound to explore the novel's hidden depths, a journey whose revelations include Gatsby 's surprising debt to hard-boiled crime fiction, its rocky path to recognition as a "classic," and its profound commentaries on the national themes of race, class, and gender. With rigor, wit, and infectious enthusiasm, Corrigan inspires us to re-experience the greatness of Gatsby and cuts to the heart of why we are, as a culture, "borne back ceaselessly" into its thrall. Along the way, she spins a new and fascinating story of her own.
