![]() ![]() ![]() Clive Cussler even put himself in as a bartended in a little deserted highway diner who tells Pitt where the treasure is really hidden, as he believes. Cusslers' strong cast of members including a congresswoman, an art detective, and two other adventure crazed friends of his. He also stayed pretty close to how actual Incan cultural was back in 1500's. ![]() Some events needed to be changed (like the fact there was no hidden treasure of Huascar) because with out this event, there would have been no story. Although it was fictional, Cussler made it as close to the real truth as he could. The writing of this novel was well researched, adding to the overall effect the story had on the reader. ![]() The plot centers around Pitt in a race with a wealthy art smuggling family named the Zolars to find "the golden chain of Huascar", a treasure buried by the Incas that is said to be worth so much that it would put King Tuts treasure to shame. Pitt goes on a wild adventure that leads him from the highs of the Andes to the jungles of the the stores all the way to an underground river in New Mexico. The book does not waste any time grabbing the readers' attention due to Cussler throwing his infamous character Dirk Pitt into it. Clive Cussler has once again proved his talent as a storyteller in his book Inca Gold. ![]()

![]() Warm skin slides against mine, and I know I’m home. Him was perfect on that! Not only we have mind blowing sex scenes but we have a couple that feels so much for each other: it made my heart so happy. I read so many that were just plain sex and nope, as with all the other stories I read, I need the butterflies and everything. I love MM stories but I love MM stories with emotion. So why can’t my traitorous body just be cool with it? Why can’t I look at him without imagining all the dirty, dirty things I want to do to him? Him and Us by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy. Their chemistry is out-of-this-world amazing and HOT and they definitely gave me the butterflies!

I love sports romance and this was no exception: I LOVED IT! What an emotional and sexy love story! ![]() I don’t know what took me so long to read this amazing story and fall in love with these two great authors (and these two marvelous men!!!)! I saw someone around here reading Us and I was like: yeah I am reading this right now. ![]() ![]() ![]() His friend Al runs a local diner where prices are so cheap, they seem to be straight from the past.

Stephen King's latest novel deals in horror - not the evil of monsters and supernatural beings, but the horror of a real national tragedy. Perhaps it was for the best: "I think that the wounds were a little bit too fresh then," King says. Stephen King came up with the idea for 11/22/63 in 1971, but at the time he wasn't ready to take on a project of such scope. ![]() ![]() ![]() I can only wonder "why haven't you killed him" so often. I get that it's "Book 1" but an entire book of waiting for people to get killed by their obviously murderous political rivals or mad obsessed traitorous bodyguards is a bit much. ![]() If you're so oblivious to the goings on in your kingdom that several of your lords can conspire with your personal bodyguard to continuously and actively thwart your foreign policy while commit crimes against humanity.you don't deserve to rule. ![]() If your personal elite guards are incapable of stopping a malnourished orphan girl from entering a secured building, and you make no efforts to correct this problem, you deserve to be assassinated. It's so painfully obvious that the big disappointment is the massive case of plot induced blindness going around. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She has been nominated for The American Book Award for “A Dead God Dancing” and seven of her science fiction novels were nominated for the Nebula Award by Science Fiction Writers of America.

I think concerns about misogyny, racism, ableism and classism are here to stay, and that the resources this edition offers students and teachers who are interested in these topics will remain relevant. My experience reading this text was no different than reading editions published by other major publishers of Shakespeare editions. The text of Romeo and Juliet is accurate. This edition also includes resources for teachers, like bibliography, and detailed lesson plans for each act of the play. This is a comprehensive edition of Romeo and Juliet, which distinguishes itself from other open access online editions by including editorial notes.

The worst part of this novel has to be the romance. Like how some people believe that being gay is wrong and is a sin but know that abuse of any sort is certainly wrong for everyone. I loved how Verdi teaches the lesson between right and wrong. Ugh) and the romance did take over some times but all in all, it’s great. Okay, so I did get the insta-love (mutual by the way. Upon starting, I thought I was getting just a bunch of insta-love and maybe some “Okay. Thank you so much! Really appreciate it! All right, now for my review. And when she falls heads over heels for one of her fellow campers, Lexi will have to risk her mother’s approval for the one person who might love her no matter what.įirst of all, I would like to thank the publisher, Sourcebooks Fire for giving me an ARC of this book to review. ![]() But denying her feelings is harder than she thinks.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that I read this novella wrong and have Despicable Book Taste (DBT™). I nearly almost rated it 3.345862 stars and a half but then thought that if I did the Mostest Awesomest Authorlords might force me to relinquish my harem rights over the Scourge of Mexico, so I didn’t.

So expect to receive the wedding invites by NSCPS (Nefariously Speedy Crustacean Postal Service) pronto, my Little Barnacles. There’s no way the Tactile Mum can resist such a Superbly Extra Sexey Sensible Loving Face (SESSLF™), if you ask me. Which might a teensy little bit awkward given that she’s my deliciously tactile husband’s mommy, but they both have very open minds, so I’m pretty fairly reasonable certainly sure they won’t, um, you know, mind and stuff. ➽ And the moral of this reread is: I’m so in □lurve□ with Nevada’s MY dragony lovely mother in law that I’m seriously thinking of asking her to marry me. ![]() ![]() ![]() Throughout, the author remains cognizant of the brutalization of civilians, including the systematic rape of women. Beevor’s knowledge of Crete, occupied Paris, Stalingrad and Berlin infuses these segments with particular nuance, though some readers may wish he had devoted more space to each. ![]() ![]() Stalin received Zhukov as a hero, while the Japanese made the portentous non-aggression pact with Stalin just before Operation Barbarossa and moved instead against France, the Netherlands, Britain and the U.S. The author’s coverage of the East Asian conflicts is masterful, and he emphasizes early on the key skirmish in August 1939 between Soviet commander Georgi Zhukov’s forces and the Japanese at Nomonhan in Outer Mongolia, in which the Soviets repulsed the Japanese in an appalling massacre. The result here can be stultifying in its richness of detail, but Beevor makes blazingly vivid the sense of mass upheaval and grief prevalent in all parts of the world. ![]() Beevor ( D-Day, 2009, etc.) joins the ranks of other contemporary British historians to tackle the entire war in one volume-e.g., Andrew Roberts ( The Storm of War) and Gordon Corrigan ( The Second World War).Īll three books move chronologically, with Roberts grouping by driving themes (“Onslaught, Climacteric, Retribution”), Corrigan by military theaters (the Russian, the Asian and so on) and Beevor by more numerous, geographically detailed conflicts. ![]() ![]() ![]() Prince Rafe wants nothing more than to help make that happen, but things aren't always so straightforward.
