Book Description
Rule #1 Straight military men will always be straight, no matter how much you wish otherwise Rule #2 Being a billionaire won't change that (probably) Rule #3 The whole thing between you when you were in high school? It was only fantasy Rule #4 One-sided fantasy Rule #5 God, how great would it be if it was a two-sided fantasy? Rule #6 Okay, getting off track Rule #7 Hiring your hot high school crush is totally okay Rule #8 If you don't let your feelings get in the way, everything will be fine Marshall Lloyd is about to be very not fine. Not only is his high school crush back in his life, but he's matured into a gruff, brooding, drop-dead-gorgeous specimen of a man that makes Marshall's wet dreams seem about as exciting as drying paint. The only problem: Fox Fraser, the individual in question, is straight. Super straight. The kind of straight that would make a ruler jealous. But if what Marshall sees when he looks in Fox's eyes is to be believed, he's broken, too. There are scars inside of him that no one notices. No one but Marshall. It's not wrong to want to help him, is it? To hire him to take care of things around the house so he can get back on his feet? It's just work. Work that leads to lingering looks. To prolonged touches. To... mmph. It's better not to think about it. Marshall's fantasies aren't real. A guy like Fox would never pin him to a wall and do things to him like that. Maybe. Probably. Right? After the Crash is the first book in the Small Town Hearts series, which features heroes scattered across the rural United States who find love where they're least expecting it. In addition to explosive chemistry, you can expect sneezing bushes, tea that tastes like hay, and a wet wrestling match that's just boys having fun, Mom.

Rule #8 Are you even listening? Gabe Mitchell isn't listening. What's worse, ever since he moved back to the small town he thought he'd left for good, he's turned into a habitual rule breaker. Falling for his straight best friend, Clark Summers? Check. Falling for his straight best friend, Clark Summers, who also happens to be his newest mature student? Check. And don't you dare get him started about what's going on down south, because Gabe doesn't need to check that to know he's in deep. It's a good thing Clark's missed him these last four years, and a better thing that he's willing to do whatever it takes to have Gabe back in his life, because rules are about to be broken. All of them. And Clark's only rule? The one about being straight? It might just end up broken, too. Before the Call is the second book in the Small Town Hearts series, which features heroes scattered across the rural United States who find love where they're least expecting it. In addition to friendship that turns red-hot, you can expect to find generous servings of vanilla ice cream that are anything but vanilla, interesting "tutoring" techniques, a nerd who's head over heels for the best friend he can't have, and a jock who loves his Dork even after years apart.

Book Description
They say joining the Army changes a man... too bad Chris never got the memo. Sure, his battle-sculpted body and brooding blue eyes are hotter than asphalt in summer, but he's still every bit the jerk he was before leaving their small town for the military years ago. Pompous. Arrogant. Cocky as hell... and constantly on Warren's mind. It should be easy to ignore him. Straight single dads aren't worth pining over, and straight a*holes even less. If only Warren could stop dreaming about the way it would feel if Chris were to grab him by the hair, rake his teeth down his neck, and-well, you get the point. The problem is, Warren's fantasies aren't likely to dry up, because something about Chris did change while he was away... and the glint of desire in his eyes when he argues with Warren now? There's nothing straight about that. During the Flight is the hot and hilarious third book in the Small Town Hearts series, but no knowledge of previous books is needed to fall in love with this one.

Newcomers to Old Towns
Author: Sonya Salamon
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226734137
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
2004 winner of the Robert E. Park Book Award from the Community and Urban Sociology Section (CUSS) of the American Sociological Association Although the death of the small town has been predicted for decades, during the 1990s the population of rural America actually increased by more than three million people. In this book, Sonya Salamon explores these rural newcomers and the impact they have on the social relationships, public spaces, and community resources of small town America. Salamon draws on richly detailed ethnographic studies of six small towns in central Illinois, including a town with upscale subdivisions that lured wealthy professionals as well as towns whose agribusinesses drew working-class Mexicano migrants and immigrants. She finds that regardless of the class or ethnicity of the newcomers, if their social status differs relative to that of oldtimers, their effect on a town has been the same: suburbanization that erodes the close-knit small town community, with especially severe consequences for small town youth. To successfully combat the homogenization of the heartland, Salamon argues, newcomers must work with oldtimers so that together they sustain the vital aspects of community life and identity that first drew them to small towns. An illustration of the recent revitalization of interest in the small town, Salamon's work provides a significant addition to the growing literature on the subject. Social scientists, sociologists, policymakers, and urban planners will appreciate this important contribution to the ongoing discussion of social capital and the transformation in the study and definition of communities.
