Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I only saw him as my best friend’s little brother . . . until I married him. Getting pregnant before the wedding wasn’t my plan, but surprise! Then my fiancé (correction, ex-fiancé) tells me to take care of the problem. And that’s how he becomes my ex. But being a single mom in this small town won’t be easy. Maybe not even possible. I’m a large animal vet. It’s not like I can take my baby to work with me. Then my best friend’s younger brother drops to one knee and proposes so that I won’t be a single mom. After hours of pondering, I accept Parker’s impulsive proposal. Romance has never been part of our relationship, but he treats me better than anyone I’ve ever dated. He’s caring, protective, and more than a little good looking. Way more than I deserve. But I really didn’t think about the day-to-day of married life. Or what it would be like to see him without a shirt all the time. He’s no longer the scrawny kid who liked to tag along. He’s a full-grown cowboy and quickly becoming my best friend. (Well, my other best friend) Just when I think maybe a happily-ever-after is possible, tragedy strikes. Now that there's nothing to save me from, I have to let him go. But walking away from my knight in shining armor will absolutely shatter my heart.

The last thing she expects is to make a connection with one of the members of the world-famous August Moon.

Download or read book Nobody s Perfect written by Anthony Lane and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2009-08-19 with total page 784 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthony Lane on Con Air— “Advance word on Con Air said that it was all about an airplane with an unusually dangerous and potentially lethal load. Big deal. You should try the lunches they serve out of Newark. Compared with the chicken napalm I ate on my last flight, the men in Con Air are about as dangerous as balloons.” Anthony Lane on The Bridges of Madison County— “I got my copy at the airport, behind a guy who was buying Playboy’s Book of Lingerie, and I think he had the better deal. He certainly looked happy with his purchase, whereas I had to ask for a paper bag.” Anthony Lane on Martha Stewart— “Super-skilled, free of fear, the last word in human efficiency, Martha Stewart is the woman who convinced a million Americans that they have the time, the means, the right, and—damn it—the duty to pipe a little squirt of soft cheese into the middle of a snow pea, and to continue piping until there are ‘fifty to sixty’ stuffed peas raring to go.” For ten years, Anthony Lane has delighted New Yorker readers with his film reviews, book reviews, and profiles that range from Buster Keaton to Vladimir Nabokov to Ernest Shackleton. Nobody’s Perfect is an unforgettable collection of Lane’s trademark wit, satire, and insight that will satisfy both the long addicted and the not so familiar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Elemental Project is a modern young adult sci-fi inspired by alchemical history. The story follows Guardian Lucas Sawyer and four angelic elementals on their quest to create the philosopher’s stone. Alchemy is not built on science or data, but rather secrets and deceit. The trick is to finding the truth when all you have ever been taught was a lie. Guardian Lucas Sawyer had only one goal in mind: prove to his fellow Elondohnians that he’d make an excellent guardian chief like his father before him. His first task in doing so, is to protect the four angelic elementals and help them create the philosopher’s stone. He trained his entire life for this and was prepared to do whatever it takes to accomplish this mission. He didn’t predict that he’d start falling for the earth elemental, Vita, or that doing so could be deadly. He’s confident that if he remains focused on his task, no harm can be done. But when a hidden prophecy is discovered with more than one shocking revelation, Lucas is forced to choose between loyalty and love. Would all those years of guardian training be enough to stop the prophecy from coming into fruition? If not, what were the consequences of his failure?
