Book Description
"An absolute must read! All I Ever Need Is You might be my favorite Sullivan yet! Which is really saying a lot, because I've loved every single one. I've already read the book twice!" 5 stars Seattle architect Adam Sullivan is well known for his brilliant historic building restorations—and for having absolutely no interest in love and marriage. He’s happy for his siblings and cousins who have found true love, but though they’re clearly hellbent on seeing him settled, his family is just going to have to accept that Cupid’s arrow will be skipping this Sullivan. That is, until he meets Kerry Dromoland…and suddenly Adam starts to question everything he once believed to be true about falling in love. As one of the top wedding planners in Seattle, Kerry has been waiting her whole life to find her own true love. So even though Adam makes her heart race and her body heat up every time they’re together, she knows better than to think he could be “the one.” Still, knowing he’s Seattle’s biggest player doesn’t make it any easier to resist his breathtaking kisses and wicked caresses…or the fact that he makes her smile more than any man ever has. But when Kerry desperately needs Adam’s help—and he comes through for her without the slightest hesitation—she begins to realize that there just might be more to the man she can’t resist than she’d previously thought. Can the bad boy with no interest in being reformed—and the woman who has no interest in reforming a bad boy—find forever together? ALL I EVER NEED IS YOU is part of Bella Andre's USA Today and New York Times #1 bestselling series about The Sullivans. While it can easily be read as a stand-alone story, you'll likely enjoy reading the other books too. "Adam and Kerry's story is beautifully written! Nothing makes me happier than seeing a bad boy brought to his knees." "I have all of the Sullivans series and I can't wait for more!" "Bella is a master of love. Love, love, love me some Adam!" "My new favorite couple! All I Ever Need Is You is a wonderfully written fairy tale of true love and happiness ever after." "One day I said to myself, I need some excitement and adventure in my reading. I downloaded this book and couldn't put it down! A great book with feeling and heart." "Smoking HOT! Adam and Kerry's 'friends with benefits' arrangement quickly morphs into page-turning, mesmerizing love. Another alpha-male falls hard." "This series has everything--love, respect, protective characters, loyalty, honesty and raw emotions..and sizzling hot scenes to take your breath away!"

Albion's Seed
Author: David Hackett Fischer
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019974369X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 981
Book Description
This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.

Book Description
“A perfect ending to this series! I couldn't put it down.” ~ 5 star review for Forever in Love FOREVER IN LOVE is the fifth book in the fun and romantic "Walker Island" contemporary romance series! Lucy Kevin is the "sweet" pen-name of New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Bella Andre (who writes the #1 bestselling series about The Sullivans). Lucy Kevin books are fun, flirty and romantic―without the steamy scenes. BOOK DESCRIPTION: Come for a visit to Walker Island where you'll find stunning Pacific Northwest ocean views, men too intriguing to resist...and five close-knit sisters who are each about to find their one true love. During the past year, Emily Walker has been thrilled to watch each of her sisters fall in love one after the other. Having stepped into her late mother's shoes nearly two decades ago, Emily has always put her family first. A family that also includes Michael Bennet. Tall, strong and good with his hands, he moved in as a teenager after the tragic death of his parents. But while the rest of her sisters look at Michael like a brother, Emily has always had to fight against seeing him as something more. So much more... Michael owns the island's top construction company, but he's never too busy to help out at the rambling Walker house whenever one of them needs him to pitch in. Especially Emily, the Walker sister he's had a major crush on since the very first day he set eyes on her.
