Book excerpt: If you liked The Dominator, you'll want to read the story of Dario Ferrano falling in love. This is a mafia romance. Reading book one before reading this book is recommended and necessary. Want more Ferrano alpha male hotness? Get to know Dario a whole lot better in this continuation story about the Ferrano family. Dario is Tommy's younger brother and after seeing his brother fall in love Dare's new motto is MAN WHORE NO MORE! Dare wants his happily ever after. But, after Dare comes home from his brother's wedding and celebrates his 25th birthday he gets a posthumous gift from his father, one that'll change the course of his life. *** Before my father died he arranged for my brother to get married, gifted him with a girl. After I saw the impact of that girl on my brother's life I joked with him that I wanted a mail-order bride for my upcoming birthday, joked about it with emotions about my now sister-in-law that I should not EVER have been feeling. My father joked back that he was already shopping around and would find me a perfect fit. At least I'd thought he'd been joking. But when I got home from my brother's wedding I found out that before Pop died he had gotten that ball rolling. He'd gotten things rolling in a way that could not be stopped and that was going to be a problem. A messy problem. See, my Pop was deeply involved in a human trafficking ring, one of the many involvements he'd neglected to tell me and my brother about as he prepared us to take over the family business. We never knew that what he'd had in mind for us was just the top skim off a cesspool of filth he'd been too happy to be wading in. We had suspicions but we had no clue just how filthy it truly was. A little less than two months before my birthday he had asked me what I wanted in a bride. "What's on your wish list, son?" Pop asked. "Beautiful. Redhead. But she has to want what I want from life. She has to have an insatiable sexual appetite but want kids and a picket fence, too." "How about if she's all those things because she does exactly what you tell her to do? How about if she's been schooled in all the ways to please a man in and out of the bedroom?" "That's too good to be true, Pop. Too bad such a woman does not exist." I'd laughed it off and our conversation got cut short. I'd always wanted a wife and kids. I wanted the picket fence and enough kids to start my own soccer team. But when I caught my fiancee cheating on me with the DJ we'd hired for our wedding my heart went cold and what my sister dubbed my 'man whore years' began. After seeing Tommy's life change because of falling in love I decided that maybe it was time to open my mind up to the possibilities of connecting with someone again beyond a one night stand. But when I got home from my brother's wedding, ready to start the massive job of cleaning up the family business so that I could move on with my life and think about finding my own happily ever after I found out that Pop had already ordered my mail order bride. And I couldn't cancel that order. She's waiting for me to pick her up near Bangkok. She's been told she has been sold and is going back to North America. She's about to turn 23, she's a beautiful redhead, and she's been in captivity for 2 years. There's no way I can accept this gift, keep a woman who was bought for me. I need to pick her up and set her free. Don't I? Warning: Explicit sex scenes. Profanity. Dark themes. This book's heroine is a sex slave that gets rescued. She's broken. The book does not spend chapter after chapter describing her abuse in detail but there is some explicit content related to her memories.

Download or read book Command Of The Air written by General Giulio Douhet and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the pantheon of air power spokesmen, Giulio Douhet holds center stage. His writings, more often cited than perhaps actually read, appear as excerpts and aphorisms in the writings of numerous other air power spokesmen, advocates-and critics. Though a highly controversial figure, the very controversy that surrounds him offers to us a testimonial of the value and depth of his work, and the need for airmen today to become familiar with his thought. The progressive development of air power to the point where, today, it is more correct to refer to aerospace power has not outdated the notions of Douhet in the slightest In fact, in many ways, the kinds of technological capabilities that we enjoy as a global air power provider attest to the breadth of his vision. Douhet, together with Hugh “Boom” Trenchard of Great Britain and William “Billy” Mitchell of the United States, is justly recognized as one of the three great spokesmen of the early air power era. This reprint is offered in the spirit of continuing the dialogue that Douhet himself so perceptively began with the first edition of this book, published in 1921. Readers may well find much that they disagree with in this book, but also much that is of enduring value. The vital necessity of Douhet’s central vision-that command of the air is all important in modern warfare-has been proven throughout the history of wars in this century, from the fighting over the Somme to the air war over Kuwait and Iraq.

Download or read book Undoing Privilege written by Professor Bob Pease and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-04-04 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For every group that is oppressed, another group is privileged. In Undoing Privilege, Bob Pease argues that privilege, as the other side of oppression, has received insufficient attention in both critical theories and in the practices of social change. As a result, dominant groups have been allowed to reinforce their dominance. Undoing Privilege explores the main sites of privilege, from Western dominance, class elitism, and white and patriarchal privilege to the less-examined sites of heterosexual and able-bodied privilege. Pease points out that while the vast majority of people may be oppressed on one level, many are also privileged on another. He also demonstrates how members of privileged groups can engage critically with their own dominant position, and explores the potential and limitations of them becoming allies against oppression and their own unearned privilege. This is an essential book for all who are concerned about developing theories and practices for a socially just world.

Download or read book The Will to Change written by bell hooks and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2004-01-06 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From New York Times bestselling author, feminist pioneer, and cultural icon bell hooks, a timelessly necessary treatise on how patriarchy and toxic masculinity hurts us all, with a new introduction by poet Ross Gay. Feminist writing did not tell us about the deep inner misery of men. Everyone needs to love and be loved—including men. But to know love, men must be able to look at the ways in which patriarchal culture keeps them from understanding themselves. In The Will to Change, bell hooks provides a compassionate guide for men of all ages and identities to understand how to be in touch with their feelings, and how to express versus repress the emotions that are a fundamental part of who we are. With trademark candor and fierce intelligence, hooks addresses the most common concerns of men, such as fear of intimacy and loss of their patriarchal place in society, in new and challenging ways. The Will to Change “creates space for men to acknowledge their traumas and heal—not only for their sake, but for the sake of everyone in their lives” (BuzzFeed).

Download or read book Black Looks written by bell hooks and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-10 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the critical essays collected in Black Looks, bell hooks interrogates old narratives and argues for alternative ways to look at blackness, black subjectivity, and whiteness. Her focus is on spectatorship—in particular, the way blackness and black people are experienced in literature, music, television, and especially film—and her aim is to create a radical intervention into the way we talk about race and representation. As she describes: "the essays in Black Looks are meant to challenge and unsettle, to disrupt and subvert." As students, scholars, activists, intellectuals, and any other readers who have engaged with the book since its original release in 1992 can attest, that's exactly what these pieces do.
