Book Description
We are in the car. She’s looking at me. I can see the love in her eyes for me. Then a huge crash. She’s flung out of the window. I’m thrown out too. A pool of blood. Her eyes are still on me . . . but now it’s a death stare. I am Daman and I wake up to this nightmare. Every. Single. Day. Waking up from a long coma, Daman learns that he was in a massive car crash with a girl who vanished soon after the accident, leaving him for dead. Strangely, all he remembers is a hazy face, her hypnotic eyes, and her name—Shreyasi. To come to terms with his memory lapse he starts piecing together stories about himself and Shreyasi from his dreams, which he then turns into a hugely popular blog. When he’s offered a lucrative publishing deal to convert his blog pieces into a novel, he signs up immediately. However, he gives in to editorial pressure and agrees to corrupt the original edgy character of Shreyasi. Big mistake. From then on Daman is stalked and threatened by a terrifying beauty who claims to be Shreyasi and who will stop at nothing to make him pay for being a sell-out. Before Daman fights back, he needs to know: Is she really who she claims to be? What does she want from him now? What if he doesn’t do what she wants him to? The Girl of My Dreams is definitely not your usual love story.

Book Description
"He was an undefinable formula. An accelerant lighting me up." Dawson Langley is living three separate lives and hiding secrets from those he loves most. Trying to keep his worlds apart takes every ounce of concentration he has. So, returning to New London and discovering Violet Banner managing the bed and breakfast he calls home isn't just a problem, it's a catastrophe because she's the one person who's always seen right through him. When Violet first met Dawson, he was a broody-bad-boy who branded her heart without ever touching her. Five years later, she thinks she's finally moved on, but one torturous touch proves nothing has changed. Except for the science lab she's built in the garage and the shadows lurking around him. As the clandestine activity surrounding his international boat race, tightens around him, Dawson does everything he can to keep Violet out of harm's way. This means the tantalizing connection that's dangled between them for years will have to remain what it's always been: a dream that won't come true. Everything changes when Violet stumbles upon the truth and turns the storm that's coming in her direction. Only one thing is certain, there's nothing Dawson won't do to keep her safe...even if it means making her his. A daring and decadent romantic suspense from award-winning author, LJ Evans, that whirls the reader around the globe and back. Inspired by Daughtry's "What About Now," comes a determined scientist and a broody bad-boy-turned-hero who just might leave their mark on you in this adventurous, standalone, slow burn. "I wasn't supposed to touch her this way. To have her this way. She wasn't ever supposed to be mine."

Romantic Love in Cultural Contexts
Author: Victor Karandashev
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319426834
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
This volume presents a conceptual, historical, anthropological, and sociological review of how culture affects our experience and expression of romantic love. What is romantic love and how is it different from and similar to other kinds of love? How is romantic love related to sex and marriage in human history and across contemporary cultures? What cultural factors mediate attraction in love? These are some of the questions the volume explores through its interdisciplinary yet focused lens. Much of the current research evidence suggests that love is a universal emotion experienced by a majority of people, in various historical eras, and in all the world’s cultures. Yet, love displays in different ways because culture has an impact on people’s conceptions of love and the ways they feel, think, and behave in romantic relationships. This volume summarizes classical knowledge on love and culture while at the same time focusing sharply on recent studies and cutting-edge research that has advanced the field. Divided into three parts, the volume begins by defining and analyzing the concept of romantic love and interdisciplinary approach to its study in cultural context. Part II traces the origin and evolution of romantic love both in various places throughout the world and various time periods throughout history. Part III presents the revolutionary expansion of romantic love ideas and practices in the late 20th and early 21st centuries in various parts of the world, focusing particularly on the development of romantic love as a cultural ideal of the modern cultures. Finally, the book concludes by summarizing the major achievements in this field of study and predicts future development. A timely and thoughtful addition to the literature, Romantic Love in Cultural Contexts delivers thought-provoking insights to researchers in relationship scholarship, sociology, anthropology, and cultural studies, and all those interested in the universal human concept of love. Overall I find Dr. Victor Karandashev is an excellent and fine scholar who has a firm grasp of both the fundamental principles of cross-cultural research and of anthropology. In our increasingly connected world Romantic Love in Cultural Contexts updates and adds to the descriptions and explanations of similarities and differences in romantic love across generations and cultures. Romantic love encompasses the life span, rather than being a phenomenon largely confined to youthful years. The topic of this project concerns the deepest of our sentiments and pervades life from birth to death. This book contributes to better knowledge of this phenomenon across generations.
