Broken Laces by Elise Faber Pdf

He’s the captain. I’m the owner’s daughter. I live next door to a hockey player who makes my heart race. Just so happens, he plays for my father’s team. My overprotective, has warned me away from all hockey players, but especially those playing on the team he owns—the Oakland Eagles—father. Only… When it comes to the gorgeous, curly haired, nice guy with a body built for sin who’s suddenly living next door, I’m not thinking about my father’s warnings. Or the complications Rome’s arrival is going to bring to my life. I’m lost in the temptation of him. And I don’t care it’ll spell disaster for both of us. Broken Laces is a forced proximity, forbidden love, secret relationship, Rapunzel-inspired romance.

Shakespeare and Conceptual Blending by Michael Booth Pdf

This book shows how Shakespeare’s excellence as storyteller, wit and poet reflects the creative process of conceptual blending. Cognitive theory provides a wealth of new ideas that illuminate Shakespeare, even as he illuminates them, and the theory of blending, or conceptual integration, strikingly corroborates and amplifies both classic and current insights of literary criticism. This study explores how Shakespeare crafted his plots by fusing diverse story elements and compressing incidents to strengthen dramatic illusion; considers Shakespeare’s wit as involving sudden incongruities and a reckoning among differing points of view; interrogates how blending generates the “strange meaning” that distinguishes poetic expression; and situates the project in relation to other cognitive literary criticism. This book is of particular significance to scholars and students of Shakespeare and cognitive theory, as well as readers curious about how the mind works.

No Pucks Lost Between Us by Elise Faber Pdf

I had a love-hate relationship with hockey players. They’d won over my protected, carefully-controlled heart, and I accepted that they had a place in my town. And in my heart. Mostly because Joel had waltzed right in and made himself at home. And…I’d fallen for him. Deep. But now the man had decided he was going to waltz back out…leaving a giant, hockey-player-sized hole in my soul and my heart shredded beneath his sharp skate blades. The man had broken me. And he’d done it with a smile on his face.

What a Friend by Betty H. Marshall Pdf

The young woman watched me like a cat watches a rat he is going to catch for his dinner. As I walked up the stairs to let myself in the building she jumped in front of me. She pressed her face close to my ear. I could feel and smell her hot stinking breath as she whispered menacingly into my ear, "Open this goddamned door quick bitch. You better not scream or I will run this knife right through your side." I fumbled in my purse for my key. I tried to keep as still as possible because I could feel the knife pricking my skin every time I moved. I finally found the key and my hand was trembling so badly that I could barely turn the lock. "You better hurry up bitch if you don't want to die." Once I got the door opened the woman pushed me to the floor. She went straight to the cabinets and rambled through the vaccine bottles and other medicines that had been set aside for the research project. "You better not try anything." she yelled, while she rambled through the cabinets, She cursed and threw bottles on the floor as she pillaged through every cabinet in the office. She finally found what she was looking for. She headed towards the door, turned back, came to where I was lying on the floor, leaned close to me and yelled in my face, "You better not call the sheriff bitch, or I will come back, find you, and kill your fuckin ass."

Charlie's Pride by Dee Hubbard Pdf

"An intriguing novel about a great river."—Jimmy Carter Charlie, the proud hero of this strong and gripping story, is known to his fellow truckers, loggers, and fishermen as Hawk. His father, a full-blooded Hupok, taught him his Indian heritage; his Scots-Irish mother gave him a lifelong love of reading. He feels connected to both roots, but he is most himself when he’s by himself, out in the forest, on the banks or in the flow of his beloved Klamath River. The language in this novel is lush and romantic. Lots of thoughtful philosophy is verbalized in internal thoughts and stream of consciousness. In the mix we are treated to solid information on fly fishing, trucking, logging, the marijuana industry, and most of all the ecology of the forests and rivers of the California far north, a land that still enjoys wildness.
