Book Description
One girl. Three fighters. Two of them want her, but one wants his revenge. **Jealousy runs deep in this STEAMY, romantic suspense novel by NYT and USA TODAY Bestselling author, L.P. Dover. Find out what happens in the highly anticipated conclusion to Ryley's story.** UFC Middleweight fighter, Ryley Jameson, swore it would never happen again. He was done with his ex, and over the pain she’d inflicted when she left him. At least, that’s what he tells people. Maybe if he says it enough, he’ll begin to believe it himself. Regretting her decision to let Ryley go, Ashleigh Warren comes back into town and confronts him. Holding only one secret back, she puts the rest on the line and asks for a second chance. Too bad he’s not going to let her off easy. Camden Jameson loves his twin brother, but his jealousy runs deep. They may be identical in looks, but that’s where the similarities end. When Ashleigh comes back into Ryley’s life, Camden has the perfect opportunity for revenge. Two birds, one stone. A journey to the Dark Side affects them all, but only one will truly get their revenge. Only one will come out on top. ** Make sure to check out the other novels in the Gloves Off series: A Fighter's Desire - Part One A Fighter's Desire - Part Two Tyler's Undoing Ryley's Revenge Winter Kiss: Ryley and Ash Paxton's Promise Camden's Redemption Kyle's Return Also, if you want to see more of the Gloves Off characters, be sure to check out the Gloves Off - Next Generation series: Craving the Fight Taking the Fight Wanting the Fight (More to come) This book will resonate with people looking to read: free romance reads, free romance books, free beach reads, free romance series starter, free books, romantic suspense, sports romance, MMA fighters, MMA fighter romance, underground fighting, angsty reads, angsty romance, dangerous love, hidden secrets, secret identity romance, friends to lovers romance, second chance romance, enemies to lovers romance, secret baby, secret baby romance, secret pregnancy trope, surprise baby, small-town romance, feel-good romance, contemporary romance, romantic comedy, series, romantic comedy series, racy, sexy, heartwarming, heart-warming romance, family, love, love books, kissing books, emotional journey, contemporary, contemporary romance, romance series, long series, long romance series, sassy, captivating romance, hot, hot romance, forbidden love, sparks, loyalty, swoon, beach romance, books for summer, books for the beach, beach series, wicked, dirty, fierce, alpha heroes, funny romance, laugh romance, modern romance, smart romance, something funny to read, billionaire, billionaire romance, love story, millionaire, wealthy heroes, happily ever after, happy ending, lighthearted romance, light romance, hot romance, romance for adults, funny romance, funny romance new, swoonworthy, romance series, romance series, romance books, beach reads, new adult, small-town, funny, female, stories, sensual, sensual romance, alpha male, dominant male, hot guy, fun summer reads, love and friendship, new romance series, hot romance series, steamy romance, romance series, family romance, big family, friend romance, friends to lovers, contemporary crush, love story, romance love, new adult romance, billionaire romance, contemporary romance and sex, romance billionaire series, friendship.

Educational Media and Technology Yearbook

Languages : en
Pages : 451
Book Description
This is Volume 42 of the Educational Media and Technology Yearbook. For the past 40 years, our Yearbook has contributed to the field of Educational Technology in presenting contemporary topics, ideas, and developments regarding diverse technology tools for educational purposes. Our Yearbook has inspired researchers, practitioners, and teachers to consider how to develop technological designs and develop curricula and instruction integrating technology to enhance student learning, teach diverse populations across levels with effective technology integration, and apply technology in interactive ways to motivate students to engage in course content. In addition, Volume 42 features the Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) research and educational use cases, organized and coordinated by Vivienne and David. This section provides evidence that the affordances of AR, VR, and mixed reality, defined as an immersive multi-platform experience reality (XR), have begun to make indelible changes in teaching and learning in the United States. XR’s recent developments stimulated the editors to propose a special edition to mark the interoperability of immersive technology to push the boundaries of human curiosity, creativity, and problem solving. After years of incremental development, XR has reached a critical level of investment, infrastructure, and emerging production. The chapters included in this section illustrate how XR can push user inquiry, engagement, learning, and interactivity to new levels within physical and digital contexts.

Generating Tact and Flow for Effective Teaching and Learning
Author: Susanna M. Steeg Thornhill
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000227448
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
This book draws from and analyzes teachers’ and students’ stories of great classes in order to promote teachers’ development of pedagogical tact and to encourage flow states for students. Taken together, these theoretical lenses—pedagogical tact and flow—provide a valuable framework for understanding and motivating classroom engagement. As the authors suggest, tactful teachers are more likely to see their students in flow than teachers who struggle with basic classroom routines and practices. Grounded in narrative research, and written for pre-service teachers, the book offers strategies for replicating these first-hand accounts of peak classroom teaching and learning.
