Book Description
Families with new babies and older siblings will see themselves reflected in this ever-so-sweet story of sibling rivalry as a young elephant gets frustrated with all the attention his baby sister is receiving. Toby is no longer a little elephant. He's a big boy now, much bigger than baby sister Iris. He can do exciting things all by himself. He can pour his own milk, read his own bedtime stories (sort of), and even reach the snacks high on the shelf that he's been told are "just for mamas." But sometimes it feels that Toby has to do everything by himself because Mama is too busy with Iris. And some things are really hard even for a big boy. Toby ends up with spaghetti on his nose, rain boots that don't match, and toilet paper everywhere! He is mad. Luckily, Mama is there to remind Toby of the perks of being a toddler--and that no matter how big he gets, he'll always be her baby.

Book Description
Mpreg Romance! These feelings of attraction I’m having for Luis are so different from anything I've felt before. Alpha Daniel Jones is still trying to find his place in life. He’s twenty-six, but unable to find a girl who lights him on fire. He reassures himself the problem is he travels so much for work, but when he gets laid off, he doesn’t have any more luck in the romance department than before. While there are plenty of girls he can sleep with, no one makes him eager to take the next step of claiming them. Omega Luis Brighton has known Daniel for years as a work acquaintance. In fact, Daniel even set him up on a blind date with his dad, Sharky. Unfortunately, Sharky was already in love with someone else. Luis is forty-four and ready to settle down, but he’s very picky and the right alpha just hasn’t come along yet. He feels pressure to take an omega before he gets any older, since he’s already pushing it when it comes to having kids. Most alphas are looking for a much younger omega to breed with, but is it his fault he can’t find the right guy? When they step over a line neither one of them is comfortable crossing, they need to figure out what comes next. Daniel is shocked to discover he’s sexually attracted to a man and Luis is mortified he’s hot for a guy eighteen years younger than him. Things really spin out of control when Luis discovers he’s pregnant with Daniel’s child. This 73,000 word story is book eight in Beau's Red Sky, Texas Mpreg Series. It's filled with older men in love with younger men, angst, male pregnancy, smexy times and all of the warm fuzzy feelings you expect from an Mpreg romance by Beau Brown.

ISBN: 1728396573
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 938
Book Description
The book is totally fiction, but should make you laugh as you imagine your brothers, cousins or local boys in the same situations that the boys in the book find them in. Although I don’t think you should try any of the techniques on a boy, as it would be terribly embarrassing for him. The book starts with various sections, about controlling boys by various girly means – a how to guide and also various suggestions of things to do with them, when under your control, before reading the stories themselves. The main section contains about 12 stories, with boys of ages from 6 to 12 or so, but the main story of 8-year old Tom and his young 7-year old sister, Pam, is very large and so is interspersed, between the other stories with Tom Continued - Parts B to L, to stop you getting bored, with the one boy, being put through his paces by his sister.

Book Description
“Fans of Garrison Keillor’s tales of Lake Wobegon will be enchanted.” —Publishers Weekly The only thing widow Isabel Puddles loves as much as her hometown of Gull Harbor on the shores of Lake Michigan is cozying up to a good mystery—but she never expected to be caught in the middle of one . . . To the tourists and summer residents, Kentwater County is a picturesque community of small-town charm, fruitful farmland, and gorgeous freshwater beaches. To middle-aged widow Isabel Puddles, it’s where she enjoys breakfast every morning at a local café with her childhood best friend and spends her evenings cozying up with a good book and her devoted Jack Terrier, Jackpot. In between, Isabel makes ends meet through a variety of trades—preserving pickles, baking pies, working the counter at her cousin’s hardware shop, and occasionally helping “fix-up” the hair of corpses at the local funeral parlor. When Isabel discovers a two-inch nail embedded in the skull of Earl Jonasson, it seems the octogenarian may not have died of a stroke. His son is quickly arrested when his alibi doesn’t check out. But Isabel has known Earl Jr. since they were kids and can’t believe he’d murder his own father, regardless of his financial difficulties. As gossip about Earl Sr.’s land and insurance policy money starts to spread around the county, Isabel finds herself conducting her own investigation to clear her friend’s name. But real detective work isn’t like what she sees on TV, and she’s meeting dangerous suspects who don’t like Isabel poking around in their business . . .
