Raw Need (Book 1)
Author: Kathryn Thomas
Publisher: E-Book Publishing World Inc.
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 105
Book Description
This is book 1 of the Padre Knights MC romance series! Books 2 and 3 of this motorcycle club romance are available everywhere now! I need him to take me, even if he breaks me. There’s no fighting that raw need, that pure desire. But I fell for him, and when he left, it broke me. He’s back now, ten long years later. And he won’t rest until I’m his again. ALI I knew from the start that he was a bad idea. There was a little voice inside my head, echoing everything that my parents and my students and my friends and everyone I’d ever known was telling me. He’ll hurt you. He’ll break your heart. He’ll leave you broken and alone. But there was another voice, too. Deeper and rougher and far more persuasive. It was Alejandro’s husky rasp, whispering in my ear… “You’re mine now.” And he only had to look in my eyes to see that that’s everything I ever wanted. He broke me out of my good girl shell and showed me what the world looked like. What it REALLY looked like. On the back of his bike, with the wind in my hair and his leather jacket hot from the sun in front of me… I was free. Really and truly free. And then it happened – everything they promised would happen. He hurt me. He broke me. And he left me all alone. ALEJANDRO I’ve dreamed of her every night for ten years. None of the endless club girls I’ve had since I left home have compared to the one kiss we shared. But I had to leave. I had to become a man. I’ve done that and then some. I’m become a man that no one on earth would dare mess with. My scars, my tattoos, the outlaw motorcycle club patch on my leather kutte all tell the same story: I’ve killed before and I’ll do it again if I must. And death is the reason I’m back in my hometown. There’s a war simmering on the horizon, one that will threaten to tear everything apart and slaughter everyone I once loved in the crossfire. Including her. Ali. The girl I left behind. I came back for her most of all. But she has a life now – a home, a job, a fiancé. I don’t give a damn. She’s been mine from the moment I first kissed her. And I’ll fight this war all by myself if it means getting her back in my arms. I want her. I need her. And I’m not gonna stop until I have her again.

Robert Cormier: Daring to Disturb the Universe
Author: Patty Campbell
Publisher: Delacorte Press
ISBN: 0307544354
Category : Young Adult Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
Beginning with the publication of The Chocolate War in 1974, and continuing throughout the entirety of his career, Robert Cormier dared to disturb the universe. The moment Jerry Renault refused to sell his first chocolate bar Robert Cormier began a life-long career that would push the boundaries of traditional young adult literature. He would go on to prove again and again that a YA novel could be both realistic and unflinchingly honest. And that fiction for teens could be great literature. In this book YA librarian and Cormier biographer Patty Campbell explores each of Cormier's books for young readers. From the boundary breaking modern classic The Chocolate War and the award-winning I Am the Cheese, to the tender Frenchtown Summer and the shocking and disturbing Tenderness, Campbell's literary analysis illuminates why Robert Cormier has been called the single most important writer in young adult literature. And how his work has touched generations of young readers' hearts and minds, daring them again and again to disturb their own universe.

Book Description
The author’s parents and grandparents and several aunts, as far back as he remembers frequently told him to finish school and go to college to learn the skill of a lawyer. That was due to Paul’s excellent memory and inquisitive mind; and to become a lawyer they believed that Paul could help a lot of people!

Paul’s cousin, Farley, introduced him to the dope game when he was about fourteen years old. Mr. Claude W. Austin, Jr., the author’s father purchased all instruments for a band; having five sons perhaps he perceived that they would pick them up and take it to success. The younger brothers, Claude Jr., and Dallas, learned to play some of the instruments. And even though Paul could sing very well, he found selling drugs more interesting. When Paul was about eighteen, he met a former prostitute that was about thirty-three and she often talked about some of the things that the pimp was popular for and had her and the other hookers carrying out. Elaine was working a 9 to 5 job and she invited Paul to move in with her and she pledged to take care of him!! But by then, Paul had realized that he was a Casanova, and therefore he wasn’t gonna allow one woman to corral him!!! Paul’s idea on pimping came from Elaine.
