Girl's Guide to Hunting & Kissing
Author: Joanne Rock
Publisher: Quarter Moon Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
Let the hunt begin! Nightlife heats up at Club Paradise when the sexy games start... An ambiance coordinator for Club Paradise’s extravagant settings, Summer Farnsworth prides herself on taking the road less traveled when it comes to her career, her astrological predictions, and her men. She knows immediately, therefore, that a pragmatic assistant district attorney like Jackson Taggart—a Taurus, of all things-- is completely wrong for her. Since she doesn’t own enough crystals to ward off the man’s major magnetism, however, maybe a simple, no-strings fling would fulfill her penchant for passion. Jackson Taggart sees enough corruption in his native city–and in his own family– without entangling himself with one of the most visible figures in Miami’s sexy club with a checkered history. But Summer Farnsworth’s figure is one that can’t very well be ignored, especially when she’s knee deep redecorating the club’s titillating accommodations. Who can resist a woman who issues propositions in a mock bordello draped in red velvet? Too bad her wild ways threaten to derail his political career ambitions that have begun to feel like a strait jacket. Her scheme that he go a little wild on the town with her so that potential voters see him as more approachable is not what he had in mind in the weeks before formally announcing his candidacy. Yet Jackson knows he’s in way over his head when her sexy dare is all he can think about... *An earlier draft of this story was published by Harlequin

Pages : 320
Book Description
Finalist for the 2021 Lambda Literary Award for Transgender Nonfiction "Talusan sails past the conventions of trans and immigrant memoirs." --The New York Times Book Review "A ball of light hurled into the dark undertow of migration and survival." --Ocean Vuong, author of On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous A singular, beautifully written coming-of-age memoir of a Filipino boy with albinism whose story travels from an immigrant childhood to Harvard to a gender transition and illuminates the illusions of race, disability, and gender Fairest is a memoir about a precocious boy with albinism, a "sun child" from a rural Philippine village, who would grow up to become a woman in America. Coping with the strain of parental neglect and the elusive promise of U.S. citizenship, Talusan found childhood comfort from her devoted grandmother, a grounding force as she was treated by others with special preference or public curiosity. As an immigrant to the United States, Talusan came to be perceived as white. An academic scholarship to Harvard provided access to elite circles of privilege but required Talusan to navigate through the complex spheres of race, class, sexuality, and her place within the gay community. She emerged as an artist and an activist questioning the boundaries of gender. Talusan realized she did not want to be confined to a prescribed role as a man, and transitioned to become a woman, despite the risk of losing a man she deeply loved. Throughout her journey, Talusan shares poignant and powerful episodes of desirability and love that will remind readers of works such as Call Me By Your Name and Giovanni's Room. Her evocative reflections will shift our own perceptions of love, identity, gender, and the fairness of life.
