FIRST TIME AVAILABLE

If you’re planning on falling in love…

When it comes to the confident, charismatic Caleb Parker, Sadie Lane feels the spark—the kind that comes from rubbing each other the wrong way. She’s yoga pants, he’s a suit. She’s a tattoo artist, he’s a straight-laced mogul. But after they accidentally co-rescue an abandoned dog from a storm, Sadie sees a vulnerable side to the seemingly invincible hottie.

you’d better be sure…

Caleb doesn’t do emotions. Growing up the underdog, he’s learned the hard way to build up an impenetrable wall. Perfect for business. Disastrous for relationships. He’s never worried about it before—not until he finally gets behind Sadie’s armor and begins to fall.

… someone is there to catch you.

Both guarded and vulnerable, Sadie and Caleb are complete opposites. Or are they? Shocked at their undeniable connection, can they ever admit to wanting more? That all depends on what they’re each willing to risk.

Girl, Boy and Dog Lindas Book Obsession Reviews “Playing for Keeps” by Jill Shalvis, Avon Books, January 22.2019Jill Shalvis, Author of “Playing for Keeps” has written a delightful romantic and entertaining story. The Genres for this novel are Fiction, Women’s Fiction, Contemporary Fiction and Romance. The time-line for this story is in the present and goes to the past when it pertains to the characters or events in this story. The author describes her characters as dysfunctional, complex and complicated.What could be better than a storyline about girl meets boy, or boy meets girl and both meet dog? Tattoo-Artist Sadie Lane sees handsome, charismatic and successful Caleb Parker bending over something and talking quietly. Of course, for all of the animal lovers, it is scared dog. Both of them coax it out, and they decide to keep it. Actually just being acquaintances, they decide to co-parent and share the dog. After taking the dog to the vet, Caleb makes sure that the dog has everything she needs to be comfortable. They do send each other proof of life pictures of the dog when it is each one’s turn to have her.Both Sadie and Caleb, have their own secretive pasts. Sadie is barely making ends meet, and has the pressure of her sister’s wedding. Caleb does have support from his sisters who tend to investigate any girl he is seeing for his protection. Caleb comes from a hard background as well, and underneath his hard shell is a kind and giving guy. To protect herself from and emotional pain, Sadie plays hard to get, and has a hard shell as well.I appreciate that the author discusses handicapped pets, emotional problems, family, friendship, communication, love, and hope. I would recommend this enjoyable novel for readers who enjoy this genre. Happy Reading!He wasn’t just a billionaire in a suit When it comes to love, I have been known to be a little insecure at times. For years I saw my hubby with rose-coloured glasses. To me, he’s handsome, smart, caring and sweet. I thought every woman in the world would want him for their own. We’re so different, he is sporty and doesn’t read (WEIRD!!) and survives with little to no sleep. Finally, after 21 years of marriage, the rose-coloured glasses have a few smudges on them. He’s still bloody awesome but he’s not perfect. Seeing Sadie fight her insecurities and believe in Caleb’s love was something I could relate to. Her rose-coloured glasses needed a few smudges to see him clearly…suit and all.It did not surprise me that Sadie questioned Caleb’s attraction. Sadie appears a little rough around the edges, is stubborn and a wee bit prickly. Caleb on the other hand, he’s a suit-wearing hottie with a successful empire and plenty of money in the bank. So very different but there’s this underlying buzz that neither can deny. Sadie’s hesitant to take their attraction too seriously as she’s not willing to put her heart on the line. Only thing is…Caleb’s Playing for Keeps…I absolutely LOVED Caleb. After reading the little snippet at the end of Hot Winter Nights I predicted that Caleb was going to be the book-boyfriend for me. My heart melted at his thoughtfulness. I was swooning when we had his POV and I got to see him convince Sadie that her prickly barbs would not deter him. I loved it when he developed his own prickly barbs when it came time to deal with Sadie’s family. To be honest, I would have loved to see a few more interactions with Caleb and Sadie’s mum. I wanted to see him put on his Knight-In-Shining-Armour costume to fight the wicked witch. OK, she wasn’t that bad, but geez, she definitely rubbed me the wrong way.I wouldn’t say Lollipop stole the show, but she came pretty darn close. Who wouldn’t fall in love with a three-legged puppy that’s had a rough trot up until the minute Caleb Parker found her on a cold and rainy night? Her devotion to her knew co-owners is so cute and I loved that with a little whining, she had them both giving into her. I loved the hand-holding to calm her fears in the car and the sitting on their feet to gain their attention. So cute!!Sadie and Caleb were interesting, and I found them refreshingly real. I understood Sadie and Caleb’s tolerance of family interference because I could completely relate. What seems intrusive and meddling was done out of love for Sadie and Caleb. Sadie’s family couldn’t understand her, but constantly worried for her health and well being. Caleb’s family have been his carers, providers and protectors since the time he was a sickly kid. Even with all his success, he’s still their little brother.I absolutely loved Playing for Keeps. It was an emotional story that dealt with two characters that faced challenges in their youth. Caleb has proven himself by becoming successful and repaying his family for all their sacrifice, love and support. Sadie, while still in the process of becoming successful, is finally coming to accept and love herself, scars and all.In true Jill Shalvis fashion, she drags all of my emotions to the surface. I was sniffling like crazy towards the end of the story and then smiling like a loon by the end. While reading I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough but when it was finished, I was wishing I’d taken my time. Her books are never long enough. A new snippet (The Lemon Sisters, Wildstone Series) at the end has given me something to look forward to. Although, I was kind of hoping that it was going to be Ivy, from the Taco Truck’s turn. Fingers crossed, it may still happen.If you haven’t tried a Jill Shalvis yet…DO IT!!

"Rowell imbues her magic with awe and spectacle. It's a powerful, politically minded allegory about sexual, ethnic and class identity - with a heady shot of teenage lust." ―New York Times Book Review"It’s a brilliantly addictive, genuinely romantic story about teenagers who can’t be neatly sorted into houses, coping with stress and loss and the confusion of just trying to be who they are. It’s as if Rowell turned the Harry Potter books inside out, and is showing us the marvelous, subversive stuffing inside." ―Time Magazine"Full of heart and humor, this fantastical tale is a worthy addition to the wizarding-school genre." ―People Magazine"Carry On is the fantasy book I didn’t know I’d been waiting for for years...Rowell’s mystery, magic, and political intrigue is the sexiest love story I’ve read in a long time." ―Julie Beck, for The Atlantic"The funny, wised-up dialogue, the tumultuous, sweet, and sexy love story― is grade-A Rowell...almost impossible to put down." ―Publishers Weekly (starred review)"Stock up on copies―this one begs to be reread." ―Booklist (starred review)"With rock-solid worldbuilding, a sweet and believable romance subplot, and satisfying ending, Carry On is a monumentally enjoyable reading experience. Hand this to fans of Rowell, Harry Potter, love stories, and magic." ―School Library Journal (starred review)"Carry On is a triumph. Thrilling and sexy, funny and shocking, deeply moving and very, very magical. Trust me, you have never, ever seen a wizard school like this." ―Lev Grossman, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Magicians trilogyRAINBOW ROWELL lives in Omaha, Nebraska, with her husband and two sons.

Simon Snow is the worst Chosen One who's ever been chosen.

That's what his roommate, Baz, says. And Baz might be evil and a vampire and a complete git, but he's probably right.

Half the time, Simon can't even make his wand work, and the other half, he starts something on fire. His mentor's avoiding him, his girlfriend broke up with him, and there's a magic-eating monster running around, wearing Simon's face. Baz would be having a field day with all this, if he were here--it's their last year at the Watford School of Magicks, and Simon's infuriating nemesis didn't even bother to show up.

Carry On is a ghost story, a love story and a mystery. It has just as much kissing and talking as you'd expect from a Rainbow Rowell story - but far, far more monsters.

Extremely slow start, but so worth it The beginning was admittedly very slow. I'd compare it to bring dropped off in the Harry potter series at year seven and having to be caught up in all their past adventures before getting to the next one. If say it takes until chapter 20-25 for Things to pick up BUT that's considering that chapters can be single pages sometimes and theirs like 90 chapters.nOW THE PLOT! It was actually so good considering it wasnt crazy? The mystery was so good and keeps you on the edge of your seat while at the same time easy enough that you could figure it out if you looked hard enough at the clues that were dropped. If you're here for the simon/baz pairing well that takes a while and while its got a few chapters where its in the spotlight it isnt super fluffy or important to the story even though you (read: me) might have wanted to see more of the baes. But rest assured they get their happy ending uwu/I would recommend this for night reads or maybe something for a trip or on your way to work/school, since i finished this in a day (about 7 hours). This is easy to follow along with and while the chapters are written in several first person points of views it works super well and even when tired you wont forget whats going on too easily as compared to, say, the hobbit.8/10 super well priced, super worth it, especially for fans of fantasy and soft core yaoi fanfics lolllWith Simon and Baz, Rowell gives us a gift we've all been waiting for. “You’ll have to do.”I didn’t give “Carry On” five stars just because it’s amusing, literate, gripping, and filled with fascinating young characters. This marvelous book by Rainbow Rowell, a best-selling YA author of whom I’d never heard before, has given us the gift that J.C. Rowling never did.“Carry On” is a rather startlingly obvious take-off on Harry Potter and the world of Hogwarts. It is clearly deliberate, and part of the fun of reading it is to see how the author has tweaked every little detail to both remind us of Rowling’s epic series and to affirm that Rowell has made it entirely her own. My favorite detail is the name of the magic school itself: Watford School. For all of its medieval antiquity and mysterious changeable buildings, Watford is a bland suburb near London (with its own well-known football team). Rowell’s magical folks live entirely among the Normals. They have to: their ability to control the magic around them and within them depends entirely on their skills with human language. It is a brilliant conceit that becomes the lynchpin of the entire, page-turning story.Simon Snow is a foundling, abandoned or orphaned as an infant. He was found by the Mage, a powerful magician who is both the headmaster of Watford and the head of the Coven—the governing body of the magical world. The Mage made Simon his heir in order to get him a place at Watford—because Simon, it turns out, is the most powerful magician ever born, and is destined to save the magical world from some terrible evil.Simon’s best friend is Penelope Bunce: super smart, obsessive about history, fearless. His girlfriend is Agatha Wellbelove: blond, beautiful, but more interested in her horse than in her magical heritage (or in Simon, as it turns out). Simon’s archnemesis and roommate is Baz—Tyrannus Basilton Pitch-Grimm: aristocratic, brilliant, clearly up to no good. He’s been trying to kill Simon ever since they started Watford at eleven years old. Baz’s family wants to oust the Mage and return control of Watford to the old magical families. And Baz, it seems, might just be a vampire.You see the parallels, but it’s all a bit off, and that off-ness makes it fresh and contemporary and somehow more real. These magical teens have cellphones (at home); they know pop music and films. They use lyrics from Queen to power their spells. And the thing that makes it most wonderfully off is that, right at the bright, pulsing center of this story, is an unexpected recognition of love between two boys. But only unexpected if you aren’t paying attention.The book is set up as if it’s the last chapter in a long series. It feels like you’ve dropped into the story with no bearings, but skillful writing fills us all in on the essential facts of the past half-dozen years at Watford. And this is where it all gets so deliciously twisted: our understanding of good and evil does not entirely mesh with what we understand to be right and wrong. As the story moves forward, things only get more complicated. Simon and his friends—and this includes Baz—must ultimately decide what they have to do, whether or not it jibes with what they, as children have been taught by the adults in whom they have placed their trust all their lives.Rainbow Rowell is s straight woman from Nebraska, and I’m a little floored at how briliantly she pulled off a gay YA story set in England. “Carry On” had its origins in “Fangirl,” one of Rowell’s best-selling YA novels, and therein one sees how, and more importantly, why it is connected to the Harry Potter world. For the legions of gay Harry Potter fans who have consistently felt cheated by J.K. Rowling’s refusal to include an LGBT character in her fictional world, Rowell has given us a pearl of great price. Rowell’s power as a highly successful author within the confines of mainstream publishing made this possible. I hope other successful mainstream writers in all genres will follow her example.

Polar Vortex Pdf

ISBN: B07M59TYDL
Title: Polar Vortex Pdf

A flight disappears over the North Pole.
No distress calls. Vanished into thin air. 

---

Mitch Matthews is a writer struggling to make ends meet when his wife's brother Josh offers them a first-class seat on a flight from Hong Kong to New York. When his wife needs to stay behind, it becomes an opportunity for some quality daddy-daughter time with his five-year-old Lilly.
 
At check-in, they run into a strange Norwegian arguing with a huge Russian. A mysterious redhead is guarding a package in the business lounge. But everything is fine, until...

Within hours of Allied Airlines 695 disappearing, a massive international search is launched. Aircraft and ships are dispatched from Russia, China, America, Canada, and Norway.
 
How can a modern airliner simply vanish in one of the most heavily monitored places on Earth? Right in the middle of an area overflown by dozens of satellites from as many nations, ringed by Cold War-era radar and missile installations?
 
Global tensions rise. The media and grieving families whip into a frenzy. The armed forces of America and Russia tip the world toward the brink of apocalyptic war.
 
Weeks later. Found on the ice. A chance discovery.
 
The journal of Mitch Matthews reveals the incredible truth behind the disappearance of Allied 695, and what really happened in...
 
...the Polar Vortex.

my feet won't warm up LOL Great descriptions and a wonderful you-are -there feel to this Michael Crichton style thriller. The plot threads don't resolve too neatly in the end, so my rating is 4.5 stars, but the characterizations are good. Our main character, Mitch, has one main goal, to keep his daughter safe. And Mitch changes in the process of grappling with a seemingly impossible situation. I like how the science is worked in, bits and pieces naturally interjected, so there's never a lecture. But there's enough of it to keep us science nerds happy.Mather at his absolute best. What can I say after reading Polar Vortex other than I need a hot shower and a glass of something strong. Mather brings the reader into the out-of-control world of Mitch Matthews, a writer who finds himself in a downed airliner in the middle of the Arctic—or are they? Mather crafts this epic in such a fantastically vivid way that you find yourself looking around mid-read to make sure you're still safe at home.Triumph of the human spirit and familial love against all odds Downloaded this book yesterday and finished the next morning. Exquisite detail, fast paced and gets you caught up in it and you can't put it down until the end. If you like excitment, mystery and human heroic survival in an untamed terrifying environment you will want to read this book.

At the Grave of the Unknown Fisherman Pdf

ISBN: B07M6ZTGXF
Title: At the Grave of the Unknown Fisherman Pdf

Brilliant, witty, perceptive essays about fly-fishing, the natural world, and life in general by the acknowledged master of fishing writers.  

Proving that fishing is not just a part-time pursuit, At the Grave of the Unknown Fisherman takes us through a year with America's favorite fishing scribe, John Gierach, who dedicates himself to his passion despite his belief that "In the long run, fishing usually amounts to a lifetime of pratfalls punctuated by rare moments of perfection."  

Beginning with an early spring expedition to barely thawed Wyoming waters and ending with a New Year's Eve trip to the Frying Pan River in Colorado, Gierach's travels find him fishing for trout, carp, and grayling; considering the pros and cons of learning fishing from videos ("video fishing seems a little like movie sex: fun to watch, but a long way from the real thing"); pondering the ethics of sharing secret spots; and debunking the myth of the unflappable outdoorsman ("masters of stillness on the outside, festering s***holes of uncertainty just under the surface").   

With an appreciation of the highs, the lows, and all points between, Gierach writes about the fishing life with wisdom, grace, and the well-timed wisecrack. As he says, "The season never does officially end here, but it ends effectively, which means you can fish if you want to and if you can stand it, but you don't have to." As any Gierach fan knows, want to and have to are never very far apart.

Observant, wry & well written notes on the fishing life It is amazing that John Gierach can keep putting out interesting books on essentially the same topic without getting very repetitious. This is another compilation of essays in a long series chronicling his fishing life and the issues that have impact upon it.His first book, Trout Bum, established his persona...a trout-obsessed fly-fisher who puts everything in life second to the sport. Whether or not this is actually true we don't know, but I suspect that it is pretty much accurate. Unlike most of the bums that I've known(ski bums, golf bums, bass bums) Gierach has managed to make a living from his obsession. I guess that this is a good thing for him...it certainly is good for his readers!Another Gierach great! Hard to say something about a Gierach book that hasn’t already been said. I’m collecting them all, and this one fits right in with the rest.A great novel, makes you want to read more of his works! I rarely leave comments on books, but if you are planning on fly fishing, or already one - Gierach gives you some perspective to his life that you certainly can use on your own! He also dispenses knowledge of the Colorado Rockies/Wyoming area that anyone who lives there might find very knowledgeable. In addition, he gives credence to other writers who are very knowledgeable about fly fishing. Well worth the purchase!
