Gentlemen Prefer Villains by C Rochelle Pdf

Simon I needed to get the hell out of Big City. The only reason I was living in this American wasteland was because my mother insisted I reconcile with my estranged father. That the idea came to her while drunk on the French bubbly should have been my sign to stay right where I belonged. Anywhere but here. Certainly somewhere more fabulous. When an international job opportunity arises, I jump on board. It's just a bonus that I'll be traveling with the epitome of tall, dark, and handsome. Make that muscular, morally gray, and hopefully, my next conquest. What's a casual fling between coworkers, after all? I'm ready for my next big adventure-far from Big City-so if whatever we're up to is vaguely illegal, I'll simply turn the other cheek. It's not like some superhero is going to swoop in and stop a couple of humans like us. Wolfgang I may have orchestrated my villainous parents' deaths, but that doesn't mean the crushing weight of my responsibilities is easy to bear. My sister was the only one of my siblings who knew how badly they treated me. The only one I told how much I despise my powers. Now she's on the run-leaving me to carry this alone. But then I meet him. I may have hired Simon Alarie as my assistant, but it's instantly apparent he's much more than that. He's not only intelligent and business savvy, but fiercely loyal, and the tastiest-most forbidden-little thing I've ever seen. Nothing can come of it. Because if I touch him, he dies. That doesn't stop me from claiming him as mine. Whether or not this normie knows it, every inch of him-every breath he takes-belongs to me. And anyone who thinks otherwise will meet the Hand of Death. --- Gentlemen Prefer Villains is an MM romance between a villain and a "normie." Our men find other men in tight supersuits incredibly attractive. Sometimes, they keep these supersuits on while engaging in explicit extracurricular activities with each other (and sometimes they even use bad words!). This is not your kid's superhero book. This is Sin City and The Boys having a love child with extra spicy Spideypool and is meant for 18+ adults who can handle such things. The Villainous Things series contains standalone books (each with HEAs) that feature interconnected characters and an overarching plot. You should read them in order (starting with Not All Himbos Wear Capes) --- IF YOU LOVE (full list of CW/TWs can be found at c-rochelle.com) - Superheroes/villains (and the "normies" who love them) - Big skerry boss + his sassy li'l assistant (SIZE DIFFERENCE) - Mafia vibes - Touch Him & Perish vibes too - Casual psychopaths with mutual obsession - SO MUCH TENSION - Leather - Extra spicy extracurricular activities - Naughty dark humor + sweary dialogue - MM romance (in case you missed that part) - A James Bond meets Catch Me If You Can international romp Then shake your martini and power up!

Call of the Ride by C Rochelle Pdf

A legacy like mine was never meant to be easy. Shaky alliances, deals with the deathless, and an enemy far more powerful than previously believed all weigh heavily on my shoulders. I'd hidden behind the mask of the Yaga for so long, I'd forgotten what it meant to be human. By claiming the fated mate bond with my Riders, I've rediscovered parts of myself I'd buried centuries ago, but I wonder if digging up the dead has its own consequences. Our mission to unearth the key needed to stop The Devouring leads us deep into the decaying heart of humanity, but our greatest threat may come from within. As my men and I struggle to overcome the ghosts of our pasts, I pray we can learn to master our collective power-before it consumes us entirely. I am Vasilisa, and I refuse to accept my fate. -- The Yaga's Riders is based on the folklore of Baba Yaga, with creative liberties taken. Call of the Ride is the third book and final book in a steamy, paranormal romance saga featuring mysterious forces in magical woods, a legendary witch, and the three men destined to find her. MMFM Multiple POV This series is meant for readers 18 and over. Possible triggers: Sweary dialogue Naughty humor Graphic sex, including kink and various edgeplay Gore and violence Reference to past sexual assault and pregnancy loss General weirdness and medium-dark elements

Rise of the Witch by C Rochelle Pdf

**WARNING: THIS BOOK CONTAINS A CLIFFHANGER** As with most beginnings, it started with death. When I had nothing left to lose, I traveled to the hut in the woods; the one no one dared approach. The witch who lived there recognized the darkness in my soul and took me under her wing-to witness her reign of terror firsthand and eventually, to inherit her legacy as my own. Now I'm the monster they fear; the one humans avoid at all costs. In this welcome isolation, I've attempted to forget my past and the future that was taken from me. Until three men appear, somehow able to break through my protective wards and see me in my true form. While resistant to their intrusion, I recognize they may be the ones I've been waiting for-the ones I need to ascend to my full power. Too bad I would rather grind their bones than invite them in. But something is mysteriously devouring the forest, and I suspect the threat may be the same one I barely escaped many moons ago. If it is, he will find me a more worthy opponent than the last time we met. I am the Yaga and I may be broken, but my edges are sharp. -- The Yaga's Riders is based on the folklore of Baba Yaga, with creative liberties taken. The Rise of the Witch is the first book in a steamy, paranormal romance saga featuring alphaholes, mysterious forces in magical woods, and a slightly frightening heroine who never has to choose just one man.

Gentlemen Prefer Broomsticks by Melinda Chase Pdf

When I said I wanted an adventure, maybe I should’ve been a bit clearer… See, I imaged a Harry Potter or Disney-style adventure. You know, the kind that comes with plenty of fun, romance, and the promise of a happy ending. Instead, my adventure is looking like something out of Game of Thrones. My Shade-filled dreams have been replaced with a recurring nightmare, and there’s a random Banshee seemingly haunting mine and Willa’s house. Just when I think nothing else could happen, Shade literally drops through my roof with not-so-good news. The King Collector is here. And it turns out, this time, he’s coming for Willa and me… Gentlemen Prefer Broomsticks is the third book in the brand new series: Accidentally Magical at Midlife? from author Melinda Chase.

Hitchcock's Villains by Eric San Juan,Jim McDevitt Pdf

The films of Alfred Hitchcock are appreciated for a variety of reasons, including the many memorable villains who menace the protagonists. Unlike so many of cinema’s wrongdoers, the Hitchcock villain was often a complex individual with a nuanced personality and neuroses the common person might not be able to relate to, but could at least understand. If such figures did not always elicit sympathy from the audience, they still possessed characteristics that were oddly appealing. And frequently, viewers found them more likable than the heroes and heroines whom they victimized. In Hitchcock’s Villains: Murderers, Maniacs, and Mother Issues, authors Eric San Juan and Jim McDevitt explore a number of themes that form the foundation of villainy in Hitchcock’s long and acclaimed career. The authors also provide a detailed look at some of the director’s most noteworthy villains and examine how these characters were often central to the enjoyment of Hitchcock’s best films. Whether discussing Uncle Charlie in Shadow of a Doubt or Norman Bates in Psycho, the authors consider what attracted Hitchcock to such characters in the first place and why they endure as screen icons. Intended for both casual and ardent fans of Hitchcock, this book offers insight into what makes villainous characters tick. While serious students will appreciate observations in Hitchcock’s Villains that will enhance their study of cinema technique and writing, general fans of the director will simply enjoy delving further into the minds of their favorite villains.

Fu Xi Code by Lagerstroemia Min Huang Pdf

Fu Xi is the most important figure in Chinese culture, who lived six thousand years ago and invented the mysterious wordless book Fu Xi Code. Fu Xi Code actually passed two fundamental concepts, yin and yang, from nature God to human beings. In parallel, nature God also passed new knowledge to prophets in the West to promote Western civilization during the same time period. It is fair to say that Fu Xi represents a pair of philosophical concepts of yin and yang of Chinese culture. Fu Xi represents yin-and-yang philosophy. Fu Xi has established yin-and-yang philosophy as the foundation of Chinese culture. Fu Xi is well deserved as the founder of Chinese culture. Although a human's life may be unsatisfactory with a lot of sufferings and hardships, every human deserves a bosom friend of nature God. Where there is life, there is hope. The universe generates itself in a closed circle fashion following the laws of nature God. The earth generates itself in a tunnel spiral fashion with and without breaks. Human beings generate themselves in a straight-line fashion, going back and forth. Universe, earth, and human are all share destiny with nature. Fu Xi 64 Hexagrams Circle Square Chart will guide mankind following the laws of nature God.

"Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" by Anita Loos Pdf

This delirious 1925 Jazz Age classic introduced readers to Lorelei Lee, the small-town girl from Little Rock, who has become one of the most timeless characters in American fiction. Outrageous and charming, this not-so-dumb blonde has been portrayed on stage and screen by Carol Channing and Marilyn Monroe and has become the archetype of the footloose, good-hearted gold digger (not that she sees herself that way). Masquerading as her diaries, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes follows Lorelei as she entertains suitors across Europe before returning home to marry a millionaire. In this delightfully droll and witty book, Lorelei's glamorous pragmatism shines, as does Anita Loos's mastery of irony and dialect. A craze in its day and with ageless appeal, this new Liveright edition puts Lorelei back where she belongs: front and center.

A Witch Out of Time by C Rochelle Pdf

**WARNING: THIS BOOK CONTAINS A CLIFFHANGER** Four hundred years is a long time to wait for your fated mates only to have two of them cruelly ripped away. Suddenly finding ourselves in the hands of the nefarious Facility-run by my final mate's father-was enough to make my claws twitch under my skin. The only reason I hadn't reduced these humans to ribbons of severed flesh was that there was information to uncover, and a swan shifter to find. Hopefully alive. I suppose I'll behave. Even if we were to escape, we wouldn't be safe. A mysterious force is destroying my forest and the veil between our world and the Nav is growing thin. My former mentor betrayed me, an enemy from my past is circling, and the god of the underworld is demanding that I return to his realm. The past has returned with a vengeance, and I need all three Riders by my side in order to claim my power and fulfill my legacy-before we run out of time. -- The Yaga's Riders is based on the folklore of Baba Yaga, with creative liberties taken. A Witch Out of Time is the second book in a steamy, paranormal romance saga featuring mysterious forces in magical woods, a legendary witch, and the three men destined to find her.

Gentlemen and Players by Joanne Harris Pdf

The New York Times bestselling author takes a riveting new direction with this richly textured, multi-layered novel of friendship, murder, revenge, and class conflict set in an upper-crust English school—as enthralling and haunting as Ian McKewan’s Atonement and Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr. Ripley Audere, agere, auferre. To dare, to strive, to conquer. For generations, elite young men have attended St. Oswald’s School for Boys, groomed for success by the likes of Roy Straitley, the eccentric classics teacher who has been a revered fixture for more than 30 years. But this year, things are different. Suits, paperwork, and Information Technology rule the world, and Straitley is reluctantly contemplating retirement. He is joined in this, his 99th, term by five new faculty members, including one who—unknown to Straitley and everyone else—holds intimate and dangerous knowledge of St. Ozzie’s ways and secrets, it’s comforts and conceits. Harboring dark ties to the school’s past, this young teacher has arrived with one terrible goal: Destroy St. Oswald’s. As the new term gets underway, a number of incidents befall students and faculty alike. Beginning as small annoyances—a lost pen, a misplaced coffee mug—they soon escalate to the life threatening. With the school unraveling, only Straitley stands in the way of St. Ozzie’s ruin. But the old man faces a formidable opponent—a master player with a strategy that has been meticulously planned to the final move. A harrowing tale of cat and mouse told in alternating voices, this riveting, hypnotically atmospheric novel showcases Joanne Harris’s astonishing storytelling talent as never before.
