Liz & Ian, A Sensuous Love Story by Alice E. McLaughlin Pdf

Liz and Ian, A Sensuous Love Story Ian Finly, a tall, handsome, middle-aged Scotsman is the very last heir to the Finly Ltd. shipping company and Royal Scott Cruises, Inc. The untimely death of his older brother throws him into total control of the companies, and they soon control him. He has no family of his own and has not visited his home in Scotland for years. He is the technology and security commander of the companies and is just bringing in the wireless usage to the cruise ships as well as taking on all the responsibilities of running the companies. He is consumed by the work and only has time to afford himself a daily work-out on the exercise deck. He is urgently called to the cruise ship sailing the Bahamas as the security officers are sure they have a terrorist onboard, using a computer to activate a sleeper cell. He had never had a problem like this before and is perplexed and shaken when he finds out they think it is a woman. He decides he must get to know her himself and get to the core of this serious threat. Liz O’Riley, an ordinary, middle-aged widow from Lexington, Kentucky, is experiencing a lonely depression after retiring from a busy life as a nurse. Unable to sleep, she watches a segment about cruise ships and decides that’s what she will do, and immediately goes to her computer and buys her ticket, not giving herself a chance to change her mind, remaining in her solitary life. Why couldn’t she meet someone new? Why couldn’t she love a man again? She knew she wanted to live and love, once again, and maybe the safe confines of a cruise ship would be the perfect place to start. She found that one cruise was not enough and signed up week after week. The first night of her last cruise she meets the tall, handsome Ian Finly, and he seems so interested in her. She knows there is danger that she is just using him for companionship, and he is just tracking a terrorist, but a true love twists them together and sends them on the adventure of their lives.

Aiming at Heaven, Getting the Earth by Marian E. Crowe Pdf

"Although many literary critics assert that the Catholic novel is in decline, Aiming at Heaven, Getting the Earth: The English Catholic Novel Today argues that there is still vitality in the English Catholic novel at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Marian Crowe relates this fiction to recent developments in the post-Vatican II Church and elucidates intriguing possibilities for future Catholic fiction. In addition to discussing the theory and history of the Catholic novel, the book provides an in-depth study of four contemporary English Catholic novelists."--BOOK JACKET.

Elizabeth Bowen by Patricia Laurence Pdf

Elizabeth Bowen: A Literary Life reinvents Bowen as a public intellectual, propagandist, spy, cultural ambassador, journalist, and essayist as well as a writer of fiction. Patricia Laurence counters the popular image of Bowen as a mannered, reserved Anglo-Irish writer and presents her as a bold, independent woman who took risks and made her own rules in life and writing. This biography distinguishes itself from others in the depth of research into the life experiences that fueled Bowen’s writing: her espionage for the British Ministry of Information in neutral Ireland, 1940-1941, and the devoted circle of friends, lovers, intellectuals and writers whom she valued: Isaiah Berlin, William Plomer, Maurice Bowra, Stuart Hampshire, Charles Ritchie, Sean O’Faolain, Virginia Woolf, Rosamond Lehmann, and Eudora Welty, among others. The biography also demonstrates how her feelings of irresolution about national identity and gender roles were dispelled through her writing. Her vivid fiction, often about girls and women, is laced with irony about smooth social surfaces rent by disruptive emotion, the sadness of beleaguered adolescents, the occurrence of cultural dislocation, historical atmosphere, as well as undercurrents of violence in small events, and betrayal and disappointment in romance. Her strong visual imagination—so much a part of the texture of her writing—traces places, scenes, landscapes, and objects that subliminally reveal hidden aspects of her characters. Though her reputation faltered in the 1960s-1970s given her political and social conservatism, now, readers are discovering her passionate and poetic temperament and writing as well as the historical consciousness behind her worldly exterior and writing.

Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning by Mary Sanders Pollock Pdf

First published in 2003, this book examines the creative partnership of Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning, and provides a critical analysis of the poems written by this famous couple during the 16 year period of their friendship, courtship and marriage. Even quite early in their relationship, the Brownings shared a frame of reference: similar themes, narrative structures, and details of phrasing resonate in their works and suggest dialogue, rather than merely mutual influence. Pollock traces parallels between the Brownings' lives and works even before they met, and then throughout their courtship and married life, suggesting that their creative dialogue continued after Barrett Browning died in 1861, as her presence and themes continued to inform Browning's poetry for at least a decade afterward.

Mate Bond by Jennifer Ashley Pdf

Together but unbound, they must learn what it means to love completely, in the latest novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Wild Wolf. To cement the leadership of his North Carolina Shiftertown, Bowman O’Donnell agreed to a “mating of convenience.” Two powerful wolf shifters, he and Kenzie keep the pack in order and are adored by all. Bowman would do anything to protect Kenzie, for in each other’s arms they’ve found far more than friendship. But as strong as their attachment is, they still haven’t formed the elusive mate bond—the almost magical joining of true mates. Now with a monster ravaging the countryside and threatening the Shiftertown community, some in the pack fear that a pair without a true mate bond isn’t strong enough to lead. Bowman and Kenzie will have to rely on their instinctive trust in one another to save their Shifters—and the ensuing battle will either destroy them or give them the chance to seize the love they’ve always craved.

Time, Space, and Gender in the Nineteenth-Century British Diary by R. Steinitz Pdf

Through close examinations of diaries, diary publication, and diaries in fiction, this book explores how the diary's construction of time and space made it an invaluable and effective vehicle for the dominant discourses of the period; it also explains how the genre evolved into the feminine, emotive, private form we continue to privilege today.
