Brett McCarthy lives for vocabulary words, soccer, and her larger-than-life grandmother, Nonna. Unfortunately, Brett’s got a big mouth she can’t seem to tame and opinions she can’t keep to herself. And she’s obsessed with the moment she became redefined and went from good student, bestfriend-to-Diane to twice-suspended, friendless, and deadest meat in Maine. Soon her world has turned upside down, and she’s not sure where she fits, what she should do, or how to make right what she, and her big fat mouth, have made wrong. Brett’s fresh and funny voice will keep readers laughing out loud at her plights, groaning in sympathy at every misstep, and rooting for her as things go from bad to worst ever possible.

His Wild Temptation

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
Wild Billionaire Romance These wild billionaire playboys are used to getting their way… There isn’t much money can’t buy, especially when it comes to pleasure. But can these curvy women tame these billionaire beasts and win their love? Or will their souls be sucked into oblivion by the wanton bliss their bodies crave more and more with every surrender? Each of our heroes wears a mask on the outside to face the world, but his disguise comes off when he runs into the one female who makes his blood run hot. Need and possessive passion abound in these books, but our heroes know only one way to control their desires. Will they f*ck the feeling they see as weakness out of their systems, or will their needs only grow more wild with every touch, kiss, and plunge into ecstasy with the object of his affections? His Wild Temptation She was a temptation he couldn’t afford, but letting her go was not an option. Marat was the face of Volkov Industries. With his movie star good looks, he attracted class and money to the multi-billion dollar corporation, not to mention all the right PR. But being born with the face of an angel had its disadvantages. Expected to entertain associates, Marat’s activities were anything but celestial. And yes, it was exhausting. Sent on an errand to Sin City in the name of business, Marat needed a diversion. The curvy goddess serving drinks was exactly what this playboy billionaire craved. He was not looking for forever, but some temptations were too good to let go. Destiny Valdez ran away to Vegas as a teen with her head full of dreams. A dozen years later, those dreams were dust. Pulling a double shift with her slimy boss giving her a hard time was not how she’d planned to spend her birthday. But that was life. She never expected a proposition from one of the most handsome men she’d ever seen. Daring her to take what she wanted, Marat Volkov presented the type of opportunity she only ever fantasized about. A night in his bed sounded exactly like what she needed. Waking up married? Not so much. She thought he was playing, but keeping his curvy Dumplin’ was a wild temptation he could not resist. Keywords: enemies to lovers bully romance, enemies to lovers marriage, enemies to lovers pregnancy, mafia romance books, mafia romance books arranged marriage, mafia romance series, mafia romance arranged marriage, mafia romance age gap, dark mafia romance books for adults, action romance series, action romance books, mafia romance enemies to lovers, mafia romance tricked into marriage, spicy contemporary romance, enemies to lovers romance neighbors, curvy heroine romance,

The Patron Saint of Ugly
Author: Marie Manilla
Publisher: HMH
ISBN: 054413348X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
Catholic lore, American tales, and Sicilian superstition blend in this “clever, funny, heartbreaking, and heartwarming” novel (Publishers Weekly). Born with unruly red hair, a sharp tongue, and wine-colored marks all over her body—marks that oddly mimick a map of the world and make her subject to endless ridicule—Garnet Ferrari would hardly consider herself blessed. So when an emissary from the Vatican shows up at her door, convinced that her seeming ability to cure the skin ailments of others qualifies her for sainthood, she’s not quite convinced—or pleased. Garnet sets off on a quest to better understand who she is and where she and her unusual gifts came from. Tracing a twisted path that leads from Sicily to West Virginia, poverty to riches, romance to loss, reality to mythology, Garnet uncovers a truth far more powerful than any dermatological miracle: that the things of which we are most ashamed often become our greatest strengths. “A cleareyed, touching fable of a girl learning the hard truths about herself and others.” —Kirkus Reviews

Pages : 335
Book Description
When she was seven, Rachel Manija Brown's parents, post-60s hippies, uprooted her from her native California and moved to an ashram in a cobra-ridden, drought-stricken spot in India. Cavorting through these pages are some wonderfully eccentric characters: the ashram head, Meher Baba, best known as the guru to Pete Townshend of The Who; the librarian, who grunts and howls nightly outside Rachel's window; a holy madman, who shuffles about collecting invisible objects; a middle-aged male virgin, who begs Rachel to critique his epic spiritual poems; and a delusional Russian who arrives at the ashram proclaiming he is Meher Baba reincarnated. Astutely observed and laugh-out-loud funny, All the Fishes Come Home to Roost is an astonishing debut memoir and the arrival of a major new literary talent. The hardcover edition was named a Book Sense Pick and was selected as a Book of the Week by BN.com's Book Club.
