Book Description
This steamy romantic comedy collection contains the novels Some Call It Love, Some Call It Temptation and Some Call It Fate. It also includes two bonus epilogues only available in this box set. Some Call It Love A mistaken arrest, an unpaid debt, and a trip to Vegas. Living in a small town where everyone knows your business isn’t easy. But when your dad is the business everyone talks about, it’s even harder. When Willa Montgomery becomes collateral to pay off her dad’s debt to local playboy Jameson Drake, she realizes things can always get worse. Forced to work for Jameson, she soon realizes there is more to him than meets the eye. Behind the delectable wrapping and gruff demeanor is a good guy who’s ready to help whenever Willa needs him. And the way he looks at her makes her think that the rumors are wrong. Because just maybe he doesn’t hate her as much as she thought. But has the former player really changed, or is he just warming up for his big game? This is the first book in the Sweet Dreams series and can be read as a standalone. Some Call It Temptation Some temptations are too hard to resist. After fleeing her controlling family, Stella is ready to experience life to the fullest—starting with moving to a city that has more than one traffic light. Too bad she’s broke and living on her friend’s couch. At least she has a job. If only temporary. Now she just has to keep her head down and save up enough to leave. But the one thing she didn’t count on was Mason Drake. Forced to move in with the man who stars in her every fantasy, Stella knows she can never give in to the temptation that is Mason. Not only because he thinks of her as nothing but a spoiled brat, but because she needs her job. And he’s her boss. This is the second book in the Sweet Dreams series and can be read as a standalone. Some Call It Fate Will the billionaire be able to convince her that they’re meant to be? When talented dressmaker Maisie Slater discovers her fiancée in bed with not one, but two other women, she sets her dreams of a happily-ever-after and her cheating ex’s clothes on fire. And what better way to kick off her new life than hooking up with a handsome stranger? But no matter how much she promises herself they can keep things casual, she can’t deny their connection that only seems to grow stronger the more time they spend together. Oliver Thorpe always gets what he wants. He might be the heir to a business empire, but he doesn’t shy away from hard work. When he meets Maisie, he knows he wants to spend the rest of his life with her. Even if she doesn’t agree. But when fate throws them an unexpected curveball, he knows it’s his chance to bind Maisie to him forever. But Oliver has secrets that are catching up to him. And once Maisie finds out, he’s in for the biggest fight of his life. Good thing he never loses. This is the third book in the Sweet Dreams series and can be read as a standalone. Note from the author: In order not to get kicked out of the good (okay goodish.... fine, sometimes good) girls club, I’d like to point out that this is a steamy romcom and my characters use bad language (sometimes) and like to get it on. There’s no cheating and all my books have a HEA.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 585
Book Description
This steamy romantic comedy box set contains the novellas Worship and Spark (exclusive to this collection), the novels Some Call It Devotion and Some Call It Attraction. Worship What happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay there. After a devastating blow, Kinsley Fitzgerald's ten-year plan is derailed, leaving her lost and confused. She needs a change. And what better way to take a break from her life than a trip to Las Vegas? But life doesn’t always go as expected, and what was supposed to be a fun, carefree weekend turns into so much more. Getting married to a stranger definitely wasn’t part of her plan. No matter how much she’s attracted to the man she just met. Some Call It Devotion What would you do if you found out that you’re married but can’t remember your wedding? Kinsley Fitzgerald thought the hardest part of getting married was planning the wedding. Turns out it’s getting divorced from the man she can’t remember saying yes to. Tracking down her husband was easy. Getting him to sign the divorce papers isn’t. Because Landon West has an agenda: He’ll sign the papers if she lives with him for twenty-one days. If she still wants to get a divorce at the end, he’ll give it to her. Running out of time and options, she agrees to the deal and realizes her mistake as soon as she’s moved in. Because what if she doesn’t want their marriage to end once the twenty-one days are up? But that isn’t an option. She’s engaged to another man, and they’re getting married in less than three months. She has three weeks to decide, and he’s determined not to make it easy. This is the fourth book in the Sweet Dreams series and can be read as a standalone. Some Call It Attraction He grew up with champagne and caviar. She grew up with burgers and boxed wine. But they became best friends anyway. Grayson Jones was always certain that Rayna Montgomery would be in his life forever. They were as opposite as two people could get, but it didn’t stop them from becoming inseparable. When a lie tears them apart, Rayna is heartbroken but certain that walking away is the right thing to do. Years later, Rayna lands a role as a contestant on a reality TV show. The last person she expects to run into on set is Grayson, reminding her of the easy friendship they once had. And the feelings they both tried so hard to ignore resurface. And this time, they refuse to stay buried. What will Grayson do when he finds out the reason Rayna left all those years ago? Because she can’t walk away a second time. Not even when being with him could get her kicked off the show. This is the fifth book in the Sweet Dreams series and can be read as a standalone. Spark Keeping things professional has never been harder (pun intended). Glenys never thought she’d end up in a quirky little town called Humptulips. And she definitely never expected to feel an instant connection with a handsome and funny stranger who seems to have a slight tea doily fetish. The only problem: he’s her coworker, and once they find out, they agree to keep things strictly professional. But she can’t stop thinking about the man who haunts her every waking moment. But is a man she barely knows worth risking her dream job for? Note from the author: In order not to get kicked out of the good (okay goodish.... fine, sometimes good) girls club, I’d like to point out that this is a steamy romcom and my characters use bad language (sometimes) and like to get it on.

Youth Fiction and Trans Representation
Author: Tom Sandercock
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000607089
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
Youth Fiction and Trans Representation is the first book that wholly addresses the growth of trans and gender variant representation in literature, television, and films for children and young adults in the twenty-first century. Ranging across an array of media—including picture books, novels, graphic novels, animated cartoons, and live-action television and feature films—Youth Fiction and Trans Representation examines how youth texts are addressing and contributing to ongoing shifts in understandings of gender in the new millennium. While perhaps once considered inappropriate for youth, and continuing to face backlash, trans and gender variant representation in texts for young people has become more common, which signals changes in understandings of childhood and adolescence, as well as gender expression and identity. Youth Fiction and Trans Representation provides a broad outline of developments in trans and gender variant depictions for young people in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries and closely analyzes a series of millennial literary and screen texts to consider how they communicate a range of, often competing, ideas about gender, identity, expression, and embodiment to implied child and adolescent audiences.

Dreams in American Television Narratives
Author: Cynthia Burkhead
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1441124179
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 183
Book Description
Dreams in Television Narratives is the first comprehensive analysis of one of American television's most frequently utilized tropes, the dream. From its beginning, television has been a storytelling medium. Whether delivered to a live audience or played out on a sound stage, narratives and those who write them have always been the crux of the television program. While film can claim a long history of scholarly inquiry into the connection between film and dreams, no comprehensive research exists on the subject of television dreams. Locating its primary function as narrative, the author uses examples from American sitcoms and dramatic programs, analyzing the narrative functions of dreams using, as its frame, Carl Jung's narrative stages of the dream: exposition, development, culmination, and conclusion. While television dreams are analyzed throughout, case studies of the television programs The Sopranos and Buffy the Vampire Slayer are included to show in detail how dreams function throughout a television series. Includes a compendium of over 1000 television episodes that include dreams, a valuable tool for any television scholar or enthusiast.

Book Description
Ready for a delectably sweet treat? Indulge in this boxed set of the first four books in the Samantha Sweet cozy bakery mystery series by USA Today bestselling author Connie Shelton. Here’s what others are saying: “Connie Shelton gets better with every book she writes.” —The Midwest Book Review “I’m addicted to this series!” --M. Williams, 5 star review online “Great series. Holds your interest and leaves you wanting more.” --Paula Kroencke, 5 stars, online review Book 1: Sweet Masterpiece - Author Connie Shelton introduces her most delightful cozy mystery series yet—with a little romance, a little magic and a lot of chocolate! When she's not baking her scrumptious pastries Samantha Sweet breaks into houses for a living, and sometimes the things she discovers lead to trouble. When she finds an unmarked grave on a property in a remote spot in Taos County, New Mexico, Sam calls in the authorities. A small mural painted inside a closet in the abandoned house provides clues and Sam is caught up in an investigation with the good-looking Deputy Beau Cardwell. A fortune in artwork, a bogus will, and a wooden box that seems to give Sam powers she never dreamed she possessed— it all adds up to a dynamic paranormal romantic mystery. Then, there is all that chocolate! Sam's real goal in life is to use her elegant baking skills to open her own pastry shop, Sweet's Sweets. She's gaining quite the reputation as a baker with a magical touch, but a few obstacles stand in her way. Her grown daughter shows up on her doorstep—jobless and homeless; her bank account is at an all-time low; and trying to work from the tiny cramped kitchen in her home is becoming impossible. Somehow, Sam copes and she finds that her dreams might just have a chance of coming true. Book 2: Sweet’s Sweets - Samantha Sweet is about to realize her dream of opening her pastry shop, Sweet's Sweets, in picturesque Taos, New Mexico. Juggling the crazy amount of work to get her new business off the ground, with her old job of breaking into houses, she's got her hands full. When a blood-soaked garment is found among the discards at one of her properties, and a friend makes a shocking confession, Sam finds herself pulled into a pair of mysteries. The wooden box that came into her possession (in Sweet Masterpiece) is still working its magic, giving Sam the power to see inside people's secrets and figure out who the killer is. Book 3: Sweet Holidays - In this third book in the Samantha Sweet cozy mystery series, it's Christmas and a quirky Romanian chocolatier shows up at Sweet's Sweets, offering to create a special line of hand-dipped chocolates for Samantha's customers. He says he will work for no pay, just to prove himself. But when she learns that he has connections to the wooden box which seems to give Sam her mystical powers, she discovers that certain evil people may do just about anything to take it away from her. With the same combination of mystery, romance and that touch of the paranormal for which the series has become known, Sweet Holidays carries the reader into the special and magical world of northern New Mexico at the holiday season. Book 4: Sweet Hearts - Sam's bakery, Sweet's Sweets is busier than ever during Valentine week, as she struggles to replicate the magical chocolate-making techniques of the enigmatic chocolatier who boosted her winter holiday sales into the stratosphere. However, candy classes take second place to a new mystery when Sam meets a woman whose missing son's case seems to have been dropped by the authorities. Marla Fresques learns that she is dying and needs for her son to come home and raise the daughter he left behind. Sam agrees to help, hoping that Sheriff Beau's inside connections will bring about a quick and happy resolution. But what about Sam's and Beau's own wedding plans? They may be in jeopardy when an entirely new development appears in the form of Beau's ex-girlfriend who is determined to win him back. With the familiar mix of mystery, romance and a touch of magic that has enchanted readers of this series, Sweet Hearts draws the reader even further into the captivating world of Samantha Sweet. "Connie Shelton has another winner," --The Book Report "Shelton continues to combine suspenseful storytelling with sensitive portrayals of complex family relationships." --Booklist “Fans of Southwestern mysteries will find that Shelton's engaging story, likable heroine, and comfortable prose make this a good choice.” – Library Journal
