Book excerpt: Slow-burn steam in the Land Across the Bridge Francesca I just started a new job in a world inhabited by minotaurs, witches, orcs, and who knew what else. Exciting? Maybe, but that wasn’t why I was here. Was I qualified? No. Not even a little. Did I speak the language? Definitely not. But I had to make this position work. That, or I was headed home to Austin and my psycho stalker. With the way my luck was running, I wouldn’t last a week in this gig—and that was before I met the massive bull-man assigned as my local contact. The one who refused to make eye contact, wouldn’t come within ten feet of me, and made me shiver in all the best ways. I was so screwed. Note from the author: This fish-out-of-water romance features a heroine with heavy baggage but an opportunity for a bright future—if she can only believe she deserves it. It also contains a sinfully sexy, quietly patient minotaur who will do everything he can to help her accept the future she deserves. Pursued by the Minotaur has all the steamy shenanigans and naughty words. Slow burn, but spicy fun awaits!

Download or read book The Annual Register Or A View of the History Politics and Literature for the Year written by Edmund Burke and published by . This book was released on 1826 with total page 884 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After 1815 the usual form became a number of chapters on Britain, paying particular attention to the proceedings of Parliament, followed by chapters covering other countries in turn, no longer limited to Europe. The expansion of the History came at the expense of the sketches, reviews and other essays so that the nineteenth-century publication ceased to have the miscellaneous character of its eighteenth-century forebear, although poems continued to be included until 1862, and a small number of official papers and other important texts continue to be reproduced to this day. Includes a long historical essay on the "History of the Present War" (the Seven Years' War 1756-63). In his preface to the 1758 volume Burke noted the difficulties he had faced in writing the history section of the book. Taking the "broken and unconnected materials" and creating from them "one connected narrative" had been, he commented, "a work of more labour than may at first appear." The 1758 volume is considered a unique, contemporaneous account of the Seven Years' War, analyzing its origins and development with a perspective not readily available at the time in newspapers or magazines.
