![]() It is set against the backdrop of Leeds City FC and centres on the Holleran family, whose criminal dealings, as well as let us say their spiritual activities, pervade and touch upon all the main characters to some greater or lesser degree. It is refreshingly different because it is dark, fast-paced, with short, snappy chapters that allow the story to flow from many different perspectives. I really enjoyed reading this football and war crime novel.

![]() Judith McNaught once again works her unique magic in this charming, sparkling romance. In this bold and heartfelt novel, perfect for fans of Julie Garwood and Lisa Kleypas, Judith McNaught proves once again that she “not only spins dreams, but she makes them come true” ( RT Book Reviews). Will Katie’s relationship with Ramon survive once the initial thrill of their simmering passion subsides? She is still, however, afraid to surrender her heart to this strong, willful, secretive man-a man from a different world, a man with a daring, uncertain future. ![]() With his charm and passionate nature, Ramon gives her a love she has never known. Yet something vital is missing from her life and she’s uncertain what it is-until she meets proud, rugged Ramon Galverra. ![]() Katie Connelly submerges her painful past in a promising career, an elegant apartment, and uncomplicated, commitment-free romantic liaisons. By Sunday, her life is irrevocably changed forever. ![]() On Friday, a sensuous stranger enters Katie’s life. Discover the sensual and sweeping power of love in this story of new beginnings and uncertain endings by Judith McNaught-the New York Times bestselling author that USA TODAY raves “is in a class by herself.” ![]() ![]() Still, I liked the cover design, I’d heard good things about the book and about Levenseller generally, and I was excited by the prospect of female pirates so I figured I’d ignore that gut feeling and press forward. My immediate reaction is to recoil slightly, flinching from what feels like false feminism. There’s something very off-putting to me about those titles. It’s not as common now, but for a while it was a thing to ostensibly name a novel for a female character but in the same breath define said woman by her relationship to a man. At the same time, though, I was leery of the title. On one hand, pirates! The blurb on the cover promised me a female Captain Jack Sparrow, and that struck me as a fun idea. I wasn’t entirely sure what to think of Daughter of the Pirate King before I began it. For the most part they’re vague or obvious or both, but still. ![]() However, there is something-or rather, some one-she did not count on: Riden, the first mate who seems able to see through her deceptions and who she finds unexpectedly charming. ![]() ![]() ![]() Alosa is stronger and more skilled than any other pirate, so she is confident in her ability to accomplish her mission quickly and easily. Alosa is the daughter of the pirate king, and she has gotten herself intentionally kidnapped by the son of powerful pirate lord so that she can steal a valuable map fragment that will lead her father to a hidden island guarded by sirens and home to untold treasures. ![]() ![]() Together the farmer and the clown work towards creating a delightful friendship. The small clown makes himself right at home initially, but when his painted smile is washed away, it turns out he’s really not too sure about this new situation either. A passing circus train distracts him for a moment and when a small clown tumbles off the back he doesn’t quite know what to make of it. In a field, a slightly grumpy-looking farmer works alone.

I have read the fifth (The Shelters of Stone) and I am halfway through the sixth (The Land of Painted Caves). I was ready to tolerate endless descriptions of flint knapping because the rest of the story was interesting.īut with the fifth and now sixth novels in the series, I am starting to wonder if Auel (who is 75 after all) has lost it. Her second, third and fourth novels in the series were at least all right. I fell in love with Auel’s writing in 1980 with Clan of the Cave Bear. Auel has lost it, especially with her last two novels (The Shelters of Stone and the The Land of Painted Caves)?

"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. Demonstrating that the sources of morality, religion, and the creative arts are fundamentally biological in nature, the renowned Harvard University biologist presents us with the clearest explanation ever produced as to the origin of the human condition and why it resulted in our domination of the Earth’s biosphere. Watson calls “a monumental exploration of the biological origins of the human condition,” Wilson explains how our innate drive to belong to a group is both a “great blessing and a terrible curse” ( Smithsonian). Refashioning the story of human evolution, Wilson draws on his remarkable knowledge of biology and social behavior to demonstrate that group selection, not kin selection, is the premier driving force of human evolution. Sparking vigorous debate in the sciences, The Social Conquest of Earth upends “the famous theory that evolution naturally encourages creatures to put family first” ( Discover).
