Book Description
A rollicking history of America's most iconic weekly newspaper told through the voices of its legendary writers, editors, and photographers. You either were there or you wanted to be. A defining New York City institution co-founded by Norman Mailer, The Village Voice was the first newspaper to cover hip-hop, the avant-garde art scene, and Off-Broadway with gravitas. It reported on the AIDS crisis with urgency and seriousness when other papers dismissed it as a gay disease. In 1979, the Voice’s Wayne Barrett uncovered Donald Trump as a corrupt con artist before anyone else was paying attention. It invented new forms of criticism and storytelling and revolutionized journalism, spawning hundreds of copycats. With more than 200 interviews, including two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, Colson Whitehead, cultural critic Greg Tate, gossip columnist Michael Musto, and feminist writers Vivian Gornick and Susan Brownmiller, former Voice writer Tricia Romano pays homage to the paper that saved NYC landmarks from destruction and exposed corrupt landlords and judges. With interviews featuring post-punk band, Blondie, sportscaster Bob Costas, and drummer Max Weinberg, of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, in this definitive oral history, Romano tells the story of journalism, New York City and American culture—and the most famous alt-weekly of all time.

Book Description
THE SEX SLAVE MURDERS chronicles the kidnapping-murders of serial killers Gerald and Charlene Gallego. A marriage made in hell... Barely five feet tall, sweet and innocent looking, Charlene Gallego used all of her charms to beguile pretty teenage girls and young women into the back of a van, where her lethal husband, Gerald, lay waiting. A killer couple bound together by secrets, lies, and sex slave fantasies... Married multiple times and still in his early thirties, Gerald Gallego found the perfect companion in Charlene. Over a grisly period of twenty-six months, their bloody and brutal rampage of kidnapping, rape, and murder spanned three states and claimed eleven lives. In this much more frightening than fiction tale of domination, depraved lust, substance abuse, violence, and murder, bestselling criminologist R. Barri Flowers tells the whole story of a couple's twisted relationship, their ghastly crimes and ability to elude the law, how they were finally captured, and the two riveting trials that ultimately pitted wife against husband with the stakes higher than either once imagined in their murderous bond.. REVIEWS of THE SEX SLAVE MURDERS: "THE SEX SLAVE MURDERS is a gripping account of the murders committed by husband-and-wife serial killers Gerald and Charlene Gallego.

King, author of BLOOD LUST: Portrait of a Serial Sex Killer and DRIVEN TO KILL. "R.

Barri Flowers has done a tremendous job, and if you are looking for a true crime read this book should not be missed." --RAWSISTAZ.com

Book Description
Racer McKay is a broody bastard.From the moment I met him, he's been rude, irritable, and unbearable. And worse? He's broke.A contractor working to remodel my parents pool house for extra cash, he stomps around in those clunky construction boots with his tool belt wrapped around his narrow waist, and a chip on his shoulder.Racer McKay is also infuriatingly . . . sexy as hell. I want to take that pencil tucked behind his ear, and draw lazy lines slowly up and down his body all the while wanting to strangle him at the same time.We try to stay out of each other's way . . . that is until I have no other option but to ask for his help.But what I don't realize is he needs me just as much as I need him. I have money he's desperate for, and he holds the key to making my dreams come true.Our pranks turn from sarcastic banter, to sexual tension and lust-filled glances. Bickering matches quickly morph into slow burn moments. We're hot, we're cold. We push and pull. I need him, I don't want him. We're on the verge of combusting with an agreement dangling dangerously between us. Neither one of us can afford to lose one another and yet, we're finding it quite hard to decipher the line that rests between love and hate.

Book Description
HEATH Of all the names I’ve been called in Manhattan, “good guy” has never been one of them. But that’s what I have to become…the day my father’s law firm (and sexy lawyer Violet Keats) fall into my lap. Being “the boss” has never been harder. Being office enemies with Violet Keats? Never hotter. Until one night—and one gamble for the firm's future—changes everything. Guess earning that “good guy” title is going to be much harder than I thought… --- AUTHOR'S NOTE: *The Bet is a full-length novel, the second interconnected story in the Manhattan Nights series. The series can be read in any order, but for the best reading experience, we highly recommend starting with Book One (The Vow). **This novel is complete as a standalone novel, but contains continuing side plot-lines that may not be resolved immediately. --- CUSTOMER REVIEWS: ★★★★★ "Love every moment of it and the writing is beautiful.

It was hot and their chemistry was insane!" - Sabby, Amazon Review ★★★★★ "These two are my favorite characters so far.

I love Natalie Wrye's Manhattan Nights Novels and The Bet for me was one of the best of the series." - Anne, Amazon Review Tags: nyc boss office romance, hot boss lawyer romance, steamy nyc romance, big city lawyer romance, sexy new york city romance, manhattan second chance romance, steamy in the office romance, witty bad boy romance, butt heads romance

But then Jane at 75, healthy and fit, chooses suicide, leaving her daughter with grief and the unwelcome gift of 45 years of hidden diaries. Daring to “read” Jane after her death is like unlatching Pandora’s Box.
