A rock star. An author. A relationship like oil and water. A miracle is their only hope. And then one happens. Tommy Stopliewicz is the insanely talented yet troubled lead guitarist in one of the world’s top rock bands, aptly named ‘Stop’. The band’s works have never seen platinum status, and then a band member threatens to remove their gold status for good in one fell swoop. Never one to back down, Tommy is suddenly headfirst in the pursuit of his life and livelihood. Until he’s invited to a charity fundraiser that changes his life forever. Debbie Branscombe has just become a New York Times bestselling author, but the status doesn’t live up to its expectations, especially since she’s raising two teenage girls on her own. Holding a full-time job and squeezing in time to write while she and her girls continue to mourn for their beloved father and husband is no easy task. When she’s invited to donate books to a charity fundraiser and recite a reading, she jumps at the huge PR potential. Little does she know that one of her favorite bands has also donated to the event. When Tommy sits in the sidelines as Debbie does the reading of her book, he’s instantly enthralled and a spark strikes him unlike any other. But is Debbie ready to not only enter into a relationship so soon after her husband’s death, but, to a rock star? Debbie soon learns that there are elements to the lifestyle that are dangerous to say the least, and Tommy is soon begging her to stay. But it isn’t just Debbie’s life at stake here, it’s her kid’s lives, too. Tommy must give up the one thing that he’s done his entire adult life, or he’ll lose the one and only woman that he’s ever loved, forever. But the saving grace for him is that that one thing isn’t his guitar… A heartbreaking, tear-jerking story about second chance love that will tug at your heartstrings. An eye-opener, a lesson and a heartwarming story are all baked right into this epic romance that will leave you wanting more. Fall in love with this unforgettable rock star romance today!

Letters to Jonathan
Author: Andrew AndyHey Adams
Publisher: AndyHey Adams
ISBN: 1838039376
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 363
Book Description
In this modern and experimental epistolary novel, Andrew Adams reflects on his story through an exchange of direct messages with Jonathan Van Ness's Instagram profile. The author engages in a series of one-way conversations with the star of Netflix's Queer Eye, the hit reboot of the Emmy Award winning series Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, using the private messaging system of the popular app as a way to discover himself and to dig deep into his own past. Although he’s directly addressing Jonathan, Andrew is unwittingly speaking to himself, turning this unilateral correspondence into an autobiography as if the literary material became self-aware of its value halfway through the writing process. Andrew's story is unpretentious and entertaining, his pen is agile and light, the anecdotal writing shifts with ease between the comedy, the grotesque, and the drama, while still remaining witty and pleasant. Taking the cue from Van Ness's quotes and interviews, the author reveals a Queer story of stunning humanity, distress, and hopes. Like a contemporary coming-of-age fairy tale with a Non-Binary everyday hero from next door who, instead of waiting for a Prince Charming to come to the rescue, tries to find his way to a more fulfilling and well-deserved self-love. - Roberto Lunelio

I'm Buffy and You're History
Author: Patricia Pender
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1786720108
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 237
Book Description
Buffy the Vampire Slayer gave contemporary TV viewers an exhilarating alternative to the tired cultural trope of a hapless, attractive blonde woman victimized by a murderous male villain. With its strong, capable heroine, witty dialogue, and a creator (Joss Whedon) who identifies himself as a feminist, the cult show became one of the most widely analysed texts in contemporary popular culture. The last episode, broadcast in 2002, did not herald the passing of a fleeting phenomenon: Buffy is a media presence still, active on DVD and the internet, alive in the career of Joss Whedon and studied internationally. I'm Buffy and You're History puts the entire series under the microscope, investigating its gender and feminist politics.In this book, Patricia Pender argues that Buffy includes diverse elements of feminism and reconfigures - and sometimes revises - the ideals of American second wave feminism for a wide third wave audience. She also explores the ways in which the final season's vision of collective feminist activism negotiates racial and class boundaries.Exploring the Slayer's postmodern politics, her position as a third wave feminist icon, her placing of masculinity in extremis, and her fandom and legacy in popular culture, this is a fresh and challenging contribution to the growing literature on the pitfalls and pleasures of a great cult TV show.
