Book Description
Jasmine Taveras is the reason Sarge Purcell grabbed his six-string and bailed the hell out of New Jersey four years ago. She's the fuel for every song he's ever written-each one laced with bitter, hard-edged, hungry lust. Now, with his hugely successful band on temporary hiatus, Sarge is determined to prove to Jasmine that he's turned into every inch the man she's always needed... Men are slim pickings for a single factory girl in Hook, New Jersey...until tall, broad-shouldered hotness walks—or rather storms—into Jasmine's life. Sarge's return shouldn't affect her this way. He's her best friend's much younger brother, and the kind of rough, gritty, sexiness Jasmine has no right to taste for herself. Even if he lets her. But lust is a blinding, insatiable force. And when it crashes, it will take both Sarge and Jasmine down with it... Each book in the Made in Jersey series is STANDALONE: * Crashed Out * Thrown Down * Worked Up * Wound Tight

I'll Take My Chances
Author: Gary Turner
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1525521284
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
Evil had to be defeated and he had a responsibility to help. Now it was too late to do anything but spend the lives of millions of young men to defeat this new Dark Age. The mountains were witness to Sidney's determination to stand tall against the darkness. "Those mountains have always been there. They can be my memorial if I don't come back." This family story spans five generations through the Indian Wars of the Dakotas and Montana, both world wars and Vietnam. It speaks to the heartbreak war often brings when young men roll the dice to answer the call of duty. The story weaves tales of separation, unrequited love, intense romance and devotion to promises and honour. At it's heart, this is an anti war story that illustrates how family can be devastated by conflict while also speaking to the healing of spirit that passes from one generation to the next.

Book Description
Luther T. Farrell has got to get out of Flint, Michigan. As his best friend Sparky says, “Flint’s nothing but the Titanic.” And his mother, a.k.a. the Sarge, says, “Take my advice and stay off the sucker path.” The Sarge milked the system to build an empire of slum housing and group homes. Luther’s just one of the many people trapped in the Sarge’s Evil Empire—but he’s about to bust out. If Luther wins the science fair this year, he’ll be on track for college and a future as America’s best-known and best-loved philosopher. All he’s got to do is beat his arch rival Shayla Patrick, the beautiful daughter of Flint’s finest undertaker—and the love of Luther’s life. Sparky’s escape plans involve a pit bull named Poofy and the world’s scariest rat. Oh, and Luther. Add to the mix Chester X., Luther’s mysterious roommate; Dontay Gaddy, a lawyer whose phone number is 1-800-SUE’M ALL; and Darnell Dixon, the Sarge’s go-to guy who knows how to break all the rules. Bucking the Sarge is a story that only Christopher Paul Curtis could tell. Once again the Newbery Award–winning author of Bud, Not Buddy and The Watsons Go to Birmingham—1963 gives us a whole new angle on life and a world full of unforgettable and hilarious characters. Readers will root for Luther and Sparky every step of the way.

Book Description
A father with a secret, a daughter with a plan, and one ordinary guy in the middle of it. Excerpt: Then his world exploded into action. The van's side doors flew open and two men armed with shotguns spilled out onto the sidewalk. Two more immediately followed and began running at Thomas. If he hadn't just been thinking of Vicki's challenges on her previous visit Thomas likely would have reacted much differently, but, as it was, he immediately went into adrenalin overload.He grabbed the gun of the lead runner and gave him a hip check that former Maple Leaf's defenseman Tim Horton would have admired. Then, never having fired a shotgun in his life, he managed to pump a round into the fallen man's chest, and swiveling to face to second runner, he pretty much blew his head off. The two gun men that had stayed by the van recovered from their initial shock and fired at Thomas. Ducking behind the pillar, Thomas watched shards of granite fly off his cover. He swung the gun around the other side and fired twice towards the van. Quiet. Thomas peeked out from behind the column and was shocked to see both the other assailants down on the sidewalk. The revving of the van's engine brought him sharply back to the problem at hand. He pointed (not really aimed) the gun at where he thought the gas tank would be and pumped two rounds in that general direction. His reward was a tremendous explosion and a showering of flaming van parts. Thomas all of a sudden felt exposed out on the sidewalk. He turned to head back down under the perceived safety of the covered portico and he saw her. She was tall, dark haired, a European looking beauty. She was standing by a table several back from the rail with a hand held to her mouth. Thomas didn't know how he knew, but at that moment he understood that this stunning woman was the real target of the attack. As he headed into the tunnel that led into the hotel, he saw her gather her things and enter the restaurant.
