![]() ![]() Nothing has ever felt so right, but his past has taught him not to believe in happily ever after, and every perfect night I spend in his arms brings us closer to goodbye. And once we give into each other, we can’t stop. That’s not the only big thing he’s got–which I discover the night I finally sneak across the hall to his bedroom and shed my inhibitions right alongside my pajamas. I only returned to my hometown of Bellamy Creek to sell my late mother’s house, and he just invited me and my son to stay with him because he’s got a big heart. But I’m a single mom trying to move on with my life, and he’s running that ranch single-handedly while taking care of his elderly father. And who wouldn’t appreciate those strong hands, that massive chest, and the way he fills out a pair of Levis? He makes a girl sweat just looking at him. Yes, I’ve had a secret crush on him since we were seventeen. Sure, he’s a hot cowboy who left Wall Street behind to take over his family’s ranch. That’s all Beckett Weaver and I have ever been. ![]() ![]() ![]() I love it when a book does that to me.even though I can't just pack up and go! The description of Katherine's early life in the Alhambra Palace was beautifully described, and made me want to pack my bags to go to Spain to see the places mentioned. I hadn't really ever paid a lot of attention to the backgrounds of Henry's wives other than Anne Boleyn so it was a big surprise to me to learn that Katherine was actually the daughter of Isabella and Ferdinand of Spain.the same Isabella and Ferdinand who financed Christopher Columbus' journeys to the New World and instituted the Spanish Inquisition. I learnt so many new things from this novel. For example Elizabeth I doesn't even get a mention, although Henry VIII does, and there is even a brief cameo by Anne Boleyn towards the end of the novel. I have to say that it was so refreshing to read a novel about this time in history that wasn't about all the usual suspects. The latest of Philippa Gregory's Tudor novels to be released, The Constant Princess concentrates on the early life of Katherine of Aragon, the first of Henry VIII's wives. ![]() ![]() ![]() The crossover has been described by writer Scott Snyder as the first story arc of a Batman trilogy that he is planning.

In third wife Joan Plowright, a young, lively actress, Olivier found maternal endorsement and encouragement. The tragedy of his failed marriage to Vivien Leigh, victim of mental instability and electroshock, was totally avoidable, insists Spoto. In this meticulously researched landmark biography, Donald Spoto captures her astonishing life and the times in which she lived. Olivier envied the success of his first wife, actress Jill Esmond, a lesbian. This childhood, suggests Spoto, created an emotionally inaccessible man who channeled his passion into his art. Never close to his cold father, an Anglican priest, Olivier lost his mother at 12. A magnificent, moving biography worthy of its protean subject, this resonant portrait defines an actor whose personal upheavals fueled his intense realism on stage and screen. His 10-year affair with Danny Kaye drove Olivier to suicidal thoughts, reports Spoto, biographer of Hitchcock and Tennessee Williams. ![]() Neither wife nor nun, queen nor noblewoman, philosopher nor stateswoman, Joan of Arc demonstrates that everyone who follows their heart has the power to change history. ![]() Knight of the realm, embodiment of England, great Shakespearean actor and movie star, Laurence Olivier (1907-1989) was saddled with self-loathing, chronic guilt over failed relationships and sexual ambivalence.

It had a great twist and great mysterious to it.In, The Deep End of Fear, the reader follows along with Kate after her fathers passes to find out what he was hiding. But I would have never thought that it be something that happen so many years ago that brought trouble to Liza. It was really cool to find out who the killer was. Jenny went under a different name and played everyone like a guitar! She nosed around, ask questions, etc. I enjoyed following Jenny learn things about her sister that she didn't know as well as figuring out what happen during her last days. I am really getting into these books!In the first book, No Time to die, the reader see Jenny trying to figure out her sisters death. ![]() ![]() ![]() At one point, I found myself rereading Shakespeare’s Othello and thinking deeply about Desdemona’s handmaid in that book and the beguiling and intimate relationship she had with her charge. With The Maid, I reread widely, wildly and voraciously. Nita Prose (nominated for Best Novel – The Maid): When I’m setting out on a new manuscript, I re-read anything and everything that might inform scenes, moments, characters or a certain tone I’m after in my book. I love the characters, the voices and the authenticity of the experiences within the stories.Įli Cranor (nominated for Best First Novel – Don’t Know Tough): I try to go back and read True Grit each year.

Mauro weaves love through the horror of many of the stories which such ease which says a lot about her as a writer.” – Toni the Reader “Personally, I think that love and acceptance take the center stage in many of the stories that Mauro writes. “ Sing Your Sadness Deep, will have you running through every emotion, from joy to despair, from warmth to revulsion, with its transcendent look at the human condition.” – Ginger Nuts of Horror “Mauro distorts quaint divides between the inhuman and the human too often a source of deep anxiety, but also of curiosity about ourselves unexpectedly exposed as alien, as always having been alien.” – Rowan Fortune, The strangeness is magical as a reader because it deliberately alters your perception, rendering you more curious and open to what a story has to say.” – Gemma Webster, Fiction Unbound ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() “Mauro has a lot of literary knack on top of her weird fiction capacities making her stories well formed, beautiful, sometimes scary and always strange. ![]() ![]() ![]() There she meets the captivating but frustrating Dev, and together they discover Molly possesses a power coveted by his people-the ability to conjure almost anything she desires into existence.
