Instead, I swallow a lump of emotion, lust, affection, need – and a dozen other feelings clashing and rioting. I’d strip her naked slowly, letting my woman feel every single moment of it, the tingles against her skin.Īnd then I’d feast on her, the sopping place between her legs, knowing nobody else could hear her scream, even if sound carries across the water. I could get one of the boats and return to one of the other islands with nobody around. My instincts flare, growling at me to flip the table and sprint over to her. I hold her gaze, trying not to lose control. Nobody else knows what’s happening here, the significance of our eyes meeting when we’ve been battling just this all day. She’ll be able to use both sides of her caring heart, the reasonable and the empathetic, a union of love.īrooke looks up at me, staring bravely. It makes me think of the future when one of our children scuffs their knee or has a bad day at school. It’s the strength in her voice, how she can laugh in the face of things instead of letting them paralyze her. A pulsing certainty that this woman is the woman for me. But beneath the laughter, there’s a growing admiration for Brooke inside of me, not that I don’t already.

But John points to a mightier one, Jesus, at whose baptism God speaks from heaven, declaring Jesus his Son. The action begins with the appearance of John the Baptist, a messenger of God attested by scripture. The opening verse about good news in Mark ( Mk 1:1) serves as a title for the entire book. Jesus is the Son whom God has sent to rescue humanity by serving and by sacrificing his life ( Mk 10:45). In this almost breathless narrative, Mark stresses Jesus’ message about the kingdom of God now breaking into human life as good news ( Mk 1:14– 15) and Jesus himself as the gospel of God ( Mk 1:1 8:35 10:29). It recounts what Jesus did in a vivid style, where one incident follows directly upon another. This shortest of all New Testament gospels is likely the first to have been written, yet it often tells of Jesus’ ministry in more detail than either Matthew or Luke (for example, the miracle stories at Mk 5:1– 20 or Mk 9:14– 29). “Your charm could sweep a girl right off her feet, you know that?” It was finger licking good! UTTERLY DELICIOUS! She glares at me. And quite frankly one of my top reads of the year. He’s a riptide and I’m swimming far out in dangerous waters, getting pulled under fast no matter how hard I fight to stay afloat. Nothing good can come of what I’m feeling for a woman who’s not the one in the wedding contract I signed.Ī woman I want so much, I’ll have to burn the whole world down to get. Reyna with the guts of a Viking, the body of a fertility goddess, and the attitude of a feral cat. So why can’t I stop thinking about her swamp witch of an aunt? I’m supposed to marry sweet, beautiful Lili. I won’t allow my innocent niece to suffer the same way I did. I especially don’t care that the Irishman is the sexiest man I’ve ever seen. I don’t care how much money, territory, or power it will gain us. I don’t care if this match with the Mob will make my brother capo of the Five Families. If this arrogant Irish mobster my brother sold my niece to thinks I’m going to play nice over this arranged marriage BS, he should think again. Two enemy empires joined in sacred marriage vows. An Italian mafia princess with a dark secret. Dewey won her heart, and the hearts of the staff, by pulling himself up and hobbling on frostbitten feet to nudge each of them in a gesture of thanks and love. He was found the next morning by library director Vicki Myron, a single mother who had survived the loss of her family farm, a breast cancer scare, and an alcoholic husband. On the coldest night of the year in Spencer, Iowa, at only a few weeks old-a critical age for kittens-he was stuffed into the return book slot of the Spencer Public Library.

Some are pulpy, while others deal with serious questions about racial violence and prejudice. The books on this list span historical eras and geographic place. Sometimes those stories are historical oddities being told for the first time, and sometimes they’re urgent, of-the-moment investigations into contemporary social problems. Starting with Truman Capote’s “nonfiction novel” In Cold Blood in 1966, that fascination birthed a genre: “true crime.” Today, book-length investigations like Capote’s still allow journalists to dig deep into a single story more fully than any other medium. People have been interested in crime for as long as stories have been told - Shakespeare’s plays are full of murder, sometimes featuring real (royal) people, for instance - and in the early 20th century, American newspapers printed every detail of every murder case they could find. True-crime documentaries, docu-dramas, and above all, podcasts, have become so popular that shows like Only Murders in the Building and Poker Face can poke fun at the trend.īut true crime didn’t begin with Serial or My Favorite Murder, or any of the recent miniseries based on salacious true crimes, from The Staircase to Candy (or Love and Death, which, like Candy, tells the story of a Texas housewife accused of murder). It’s no secret that people across the world are addicted to true crime. Films, TV series, stage plays, spin-off fictions, musicals, ballets, and cartoons are now joined by two graphic novels by Vancouver-based Kathleen Gros, in whose hands “coming of age” transforms to “coming out.”Įngagingly illustrated in full colour, both books are aimed at young readers seeking their identities as they wrestle with the complex emotions that beset adolescents, and both are set in modern urban environments where racial diversity is the norm. How might the stories of two classic young heroines, Jo March of Little Women (1868) and Anne Shirley of Anne of Green Gables (1908), unfold today, more than a century after they first appeared in print? The world of North American adolescent girls has irrevocably changed from quill pens and crinolines to cell phones and blue jeans, yet the stories of these particular characters, whose individualism and creativity reflect the experiences of their authors, remain sufficiently captivating to be retold and adapted into multiple formats. Toronto: HarperCollins Canada (Quill Tree Books), 2022 Toronto: HarperCollins Canada (Quill Tree Books), 2020Īnne: An Adaptation of Anne of Green Gables (Sort Of) Jo: An Adaptation of Little Women (Sort Of) Two books reviewed by Carole Gerson in consultation with Clarissa Gerson What do you do when you have to make a decision? This is the essential plot of this book. Camilla Isley has outdone herself with this novel and I couldn't be more pleased with how it all turned out. This is one of the most unique books that I have read in a long time. The ending to this was pretty happy, and I was satisfied with the way things ended. It was enjoyable to see these two different futures unfold, and I liked the mystery of who Gemma would end up with in the end, and whether the two futures would somehow merge. In one life she went and stopped her ex’s wedding and told him how she felt, and in the other she went to her friend’s wedding instead. The storyline in this followed Gemma as her life went down two different paths after one life-altering situation. It was also nice how much she cared about her friend, that she’d sacrifice her own happiness to help her. Gemma was an okay character, and it was clear how deep her feelings were for Jake. This was an adult contemporary romance novel, following one woman as her life went in two different directions. “When I discovered you were getting married, my world collapsed.” (Source: I received a digital copy of this book for free on a read-to-review basis.
