Book Description
Hypnotica By Kimberly Dean You are feeling very sexy... When shy Copper Daniels is entranced at an Erotic Hypnotic show, her Caribbean cruise quickly goes from restful to restless. Encouraged to find the hottest man in the room-the one who turns her on more than any other-she chooses Nick Branson. Nick isn't a saint. When Copper crawls onto his lap, he gives her what she needs-until he hears the hoots from the crowd. Angrily, he makes the hypnotist call off the spell. But it just doesn't take. As their sun-filled vacation progresses, Nick and Copper quickly learn that whenever somebody says the trigger word, her inhibitions fade and things between them get hot. Blistering hot. Copper knows, because afterwards she can remember every kiss, every sigh and every touch. Secretly, she hopes the spell never fades. Tandem By Elizabeth Donald Jericho Trail was too dangerous to hike alone-those were park rules. Hence two strangers hiking together. Chris went to the woods to be alone, to think and find peace after a bad breakup. Reed went to the woods for a good time. But he had no idea the trail would be so difficult - or that he would share it with such an intoxicating woman. Separated from the world, the dangers of the trail are nothing compared to the dance between two lost souls, forced together by circumstance but drawn together by the fire burning their blood. Off the Deep End By Anna J. Evans Caitlyn Saunders is looking for a little fun in the San Diego sun. But when she's caught in a spring storm and swept out to sea by a tidal wave, she's not really surprised. She and Fortune have never been friends. Still, who needs Fortune when you can have a dark, mysterious stranger? Lukas knows he has more pressing matters to attend to than pleasuring the mortal woman he pulled from the sea. But how's a man supposed to concentrate on royal intrigue when such a tempting woman is lying naked in his arms? Proving to this fiery redhead that he's the furthest thing from a mermaid-or a maid of any kind-is too decadently sensual a test to resist. Saint Jillian's Rebel By Eve Jameson In high school, Jillian Lawson had been nicknamed Saint Jillian by Pier's Point most infamous Rebel, Hunter Scott. Back then she hadn't known what to do with his erotic teasing except back away, keeping her good-girl image fully intact. Twenty years later, she's more than ready to accept his offer the second time around, even when she discovers he's been waiting a long time to teach his Saint a lesson in payback. But she has a few things to teach him, the first being that she's no longer a saint. Could their erotic interlude lead to more than a vacation fling? Water Lust By Mary Winter Grace Edwards lives on a private Caribbean island. More at home in the ocean than on land, she spends her time searching for the elusive man of her dreams. He fulfills her every desire, takes her to the heights of passion, and makes love to her every night - all night. There is just one problem. She really does only see him in her dreams. Come the dawn, reality rushes in and her dream man disappears back to wherever he came from. Then, an old woman gives her the key to finding him. Now that Grace has the information she needs, she's ready to find him and turn her dreams into reality. For Chemal, restricted for so long to only visiting the love of his life when night falls and he can make love to her as she sleeps, he's ready to prove to her that they have more than lust-that with her love they can have forever.

"Witty, wise, and disarmingly tender. I am hopelessly devoted to this summer dream of a book." —Becky Albertalli, New York Times bestselling author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda The guy of her dreams... or the girl in her heart? Lara's had eyes for exactly one person throughout her three years of high school: Chase Harding. He's tall, strong, sweet, a football star, and frankly, stupid hot. Oh, and he's talking to her now. On purpose and everything. Maybe...flirting, even? No, wait, he's definitely flirting, which is pretty much the sum of everything Lara's wanted out of life. Except she’s haunted by a memory. A memory of a confusing, romantic, strangely perfect summer spent with a girl named Jasmine. A memory that becomes a confusing, disorienting present when Jasmine herself walks through the front doors of the school to see Lara and Chase chatting it up in front of the lockers. Lara has everything she ever wanted: a tight-knit group of friends, a job that borders on cool, and Chase, the boy of her literal dreams. But if she's finally got the guy, why can't she stop thinking about the girl? Dahlia Adler's Cool for the Summer is a story of self-discovery and new love. It’s about the things we want and the things we need. And it’s about the people who will let us be who we are.

Dogs of Summer
Author: Andrea Abreu
Publisher: Astra Publishing House
ISBN: 166260159X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
"[A] firecracker of a debut . . . Abreu's novel, in Julia Sanches's sparkling translation, is a revelation, perfectly capturing a festering summer of meltdowns and shrinking horizons." —The New York Times My Brilliant Friend meets Blue is the Warmest Color in this lyrical debut novel set in a working-class neighborhood of the Canary Islands—a story about two girls coming of age in the early aughts and a friendship that simmers into erotic desire over the course of one hot summer. High near the volcano of northern Tenerife, an endless ceiling of cloud cover traps the working class in an abject, oppressive heat. Far away from the island’s posh resorts, two girls dream of hitching a ride down to the beach and escaping their horizonless town. It’s summer, 2005, and our ten-year-old narrator is consumed by thoughts of her best friend Isora. Isora is rude and bossy, but she’s also vivacious and brave; grownups prefer her, and boys do, too. That's why sometimes she gets jealous of Isora, who already has hair on her vagina and soft, round breasts. But she's definitely not jealous that Isora’s mother is dead, nor that Isora's fat, foul-mouthed grandmother has her on a diet, so that she is constantly sticking her fingers down her throat. Besides, she would do anything for Isora: gorge herself on cakes when her friend wants to watch, follow her to the bathroom when she takes a shit, log into chat rooms to swap dirty instant messages with strangers. But increasingly, our narrator finds it hard to keep up with Isora, who seems to be growing up at full tilt without her—and as her submissiveness veers into a painful sexual awakening, desire grows indistinguishable from intimate violence. Braiding prose poetry with bachata lyrics and the gritty humor of Canary dialect, Dogs of Summer is a story of exquisite yearning, a brutal picture of girlhood and a love song written for the vital community it portrays.
