Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emily Birmingham has had it up to here with men. It was hard enough growing up with an overbearing father, but then he dies and leaves everything to her brother—everything Emily’s worked her whole life to build. Now she’s jobless, living in her grandmother's dilapidated house in the middle of Nowhere, Canada, and dealing with the most annoyingly sexy contractor on the planet. Exactly when did her life become the nightmarish opposite of a Hallmark movie? Cooper Merrick learned the hard way that love is never worth the risk. He’s happy running the family contracting business alongside his well-meaning but overly-opinionated brothers...happy enough until polished and perfect Emily enters his world. Nothing prepared him for the ways she turns his life upside down and sees the parts of himself he’s closed off from the world. Now Cooper’s finally found the nerve to ask her out. Only Emily has some requirements before she even considers going out on a date—like a contract with some very specific ground rules. Signing on the dotted line sounds simple enough...but every contract has its fine print.

Book excerpt: BRETT: It's normal for your new boss to ask you to be his fake boyfriend at the interview, right? When I arrive at the run-down vineyard for a bartending job, I'm not expecting a man like Ethan Carrington to answer the door. Tall, chiseled, and passionate, the man is sex on legs, and he offers me more than bar work. Ethan wants me to pretend to be his boyfriend to impress investors. I'm reluctant, but I need the money, and there are many perks to working with the drop-dead gorgeous man in charge. The job is fun, the benefits are excellent, and Ethan is charming and intriguing. I can pretend to be his boyfriend, no problem. That's all this is: an arrangement we'll both benefit from. So why can't I stop fantasizing about him? We're surrounded by wine, and all I want to do is offer Ethan a private tasting. ETHAN: He's gorgeous, and he just gave me the best Climax I've ever had. Well, at least that was the name of the sample drink he prepared for me during the interview. He's good with his hands, but I have my eye on more than just his cocktails. I used to be all about living fast and spending money, but those days came to a screeching halt when my wealthy father gave me an ultimatum: prove my skills by flipping an old vineyard and turning a profit, or he'll cut me off. The vineyard needs renovations from the ground up, but investors aren't willing to part with their money. They want proof that I'm good with long-term commitments. A stable boyfriend would do the trick. All my dreams come true when Brett shows up. Sexy and irresistible, he's more than capable behind a bar, but I have something crazier in mind. If his acting is as good as his bartending, he's perfect fake boyfriend material. The question is, what happens when it stops being an act? Things are heating up, and I'm not sure if we're still pretending. This is the first time I don't want to put out the fire...I want to let the flames grow. Note to readers: This is a sweet and steamy MM romance with a heat level of 10.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published as an e-book that became a controversial media phenomenon, No More Mr. Nice Guy! landed its author, a certified marriage and family therapist, on The O'Reilly Factor and the Rush Limbaugh radio show. Dr. Robert Glover has dubbed the "Nice Guy Syndrome" trying too hard to please others while neglecting one's own needs, thus causing unhappiness and resentfulness.

He explains how they can stop seeking approval and start getting what they want in life, by presenting the information and tools to help them ensure their needs are met, to express their emotions, to have a satisfying sex life, to embrace their masculinity and form meaningful relationships with other men, and to live up to their creative potential.

Download or read book The Contract of Love written by José Chaves and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up with a Colombian father for whom magical realism was a way of life made ordinary reality feel like an immigrant experience for author Jose Chaves, who was born in the U.S. but, as his father would insist, made in Colombia!" That experience comes alive like a movie on the page in The Contract of Love, a memoir about family that is both hilarious and heartbreaking. Chaves' straightforward style turns the familiar exotic and makes the unfamiliar feel like home as he takes readers on a cultural journey from small-town, muscle-car America to the Chaves family farm in Colombia, where the cow is named Lyndon Johnson, and an emotional journey from his father's volatile world where unrequited love is sung out loud in restaurants, to a fraternity where the most important rule is to never reveal your feelings to another guy in public. With tenderness, humor, and hypnotic clarity, Chaves explores the landscape of love that holds us together, beyond the addictions that bind us-- from the broken faith that sends a boy spiraling down, to the grace that finds the man.

Download or read book How to Fall in Love with Anyone written by Mandy Len Catron and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-06-27 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A beautifully written and well-researched cultural criticism as well as an honest memoir” (Los Angeles Review of Books) from the author of the popular New York Times essay, “To Fall in Love with Anyone, Do This,” explores the romantic myths we create and explains how they limit our ability to achieve and sustain intimacy. What really makes love last? Does love ever work the way we say it does in movies and books and Facebook posts? Or does obsessing over those love stories hurt our real-life relationships? When her parents divorced after a twenty-eight year marriage and her own ten-year relationship ended, those were the questions that Mandy Len Catron wanted to answer. In a series of candid, vulnerable, and wise essays that takes a closer look at what it means to love someone, be loved, and how we present our love to the world, “Catron melds science and emotion beautifully into a thoughtful and thought-provoking meditation” (Bookpage). She delves back to 1944, when her grandparents met in a coal mining town in Appalachia, to her own dating life as a professor in Vancouver. She uses biologists’ research into dopamine triggers to ask whether the need to love is an innate human drive. She uses literary theory to show why we prefer certain kinds of love stories. She urges us to question the unwritten scripts we follow in relationships and looks into where those scripts come from. And she tells the story of how she decided to test an experiment that she’d read about—where the goal was to create intimacy between strangers using a list of thirty-six questions—and ended up in the surreal situation of having millions of people following her brand-new relationship. “Perfect fodder for the romantic and the cynic in all of us” (Booklist), How to Fall in Love with Anyone flips the script on love. “Clear-eyed and full of heart, it is mandatory reading for anyone coping with—or curious about—the challenges of contemporary courtship” (The Toronto Star).

Download or read book Couples That Work written by Jennifer Petriglieri and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding fulfillment in both love and work isn't easy--but it's possible. The majority of couples today are dual-career couples. As anyone who's part of such a relationship knows, this presents big challenges: trying to raise kids and achieve career goals while caring for and supporting your partner can seem impossible. Yet most advice for dual-career couples fails, framing the challenges as a zero-sum game in which one partner’s gain is the other's loss and solutions feel like sacrifices or unsatisfactory trade-offs. This book is different. In Couples That Work, INSEAD professor Jennifer Petriglieri rejects conventional, one-size-fits-all solutions and instead focuses on how dual-career couples can tackle and resolve the challenges they face throughout their lives--together. She identifies three key phases of exploration and personal growth in every couple's work-life journey, showing how partners must navigate these together to strengthen their bond. Each phase is crystallized with a question: How can we make this work? The first phase focuses on the logistics of combining two busy lives and often involves the demands of young children. What do we really want? In the second phase, couples learn to navigate their midlife crises in ways that allow each partner to continue to feel happy and fulfilled. Who are we now? With careers winding down and kids grown up, this last phase offers new freedoms--and uncertainties. Based on a five-year research project, the book includes interviews with couples from over thirty countries--from executives to entrepreneurs and from twentysomething newlyweds to dual-career grandparents. Filled with vivid real-life stories, keen insights, and engaging exercises, Couples That Work will help couples develop their own unique answers to that most pressing question: How can we successfully combine love and work?
