Book Description
A hot Halloween romantic comedy! My haunted house is a fixer-upper. So is my heart. I never asked to inherit a historic mansion on the lagoon from the dad I never knew. It’s more likely to fall down than survive another century. And after a career-crushing romantic disaster on a failed TV project, I’m too broke to refurbish Bohemia’s most famous haunted house. Enter my annoying roommate, Landon, who for some weird reason is more than happy to help me resurrect the landmark. What better fundraiser to get the ball rolling than a Halloween haunted house? The place might be a death trap, but its mysteries are alluring, and to my dismay, so is Landon. I’ve had it with guys, even if this one is hotter than a lava lamp. Still, he knows his way around a hammer, and the house needs saving. Maybe I do, too, but he doesn’t need to know that. My dream job’s just out of reach, thanks to a newly found wicked half-sibling. While I figure out my future, I’m looking for the keys to Milkweed Mansion’s secrets. But I’ve thrown away the key to my trampled heart. No matter how irresistible Landon is, I can’t let him find it. Bohemia Chills is a roommates-to-lovers hot romantic comedy with elusive ghosts, spine-chilling secrets and a bunch of madly creative artists set loose in a Halloween haunted house. It’s the seventh book in the Bohemia Beach Series, each a steamy standalone romance set among a circle of artists in the enchanting Florida city they call home. It’s also a Common Elements Romance Project novel. THE BOHEMIA BEACH SERIES While each title can be read on its own, the books have interconnected characters and settings, and you may wish to read them in order: 1. Bohemia Beach - Golden Quill finalist 2. Bohemia Light 3. Bohemia Blues - winner of the Golden Quill and a National Readers' Choice Award finalist 4. Bohemia Heat 5. Bohemia Nights 6. Bohemia Bells 7. Bohemia Chills

On Bohemia
Author: Cesar Grana
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351502395
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 833
Book Description
Bohemia has been variously defined as a mythical country, a state of mind, a tavern by the wayside on the road of life. The editors of this volume prefer a leaner definition: an attitude of dissent from the prevailing values of middle-class society, one dependent on the existence of caf life. But whatever definition is preferred, this rich and long overdue collective portrait of Bohemian life in a large variety of settings is certain to engage and even entrance readers of all types: from the student of culture to social researchers and literary figures n search of their ancestral roots. The work is international in scope and social scientific in conception. But because of the special nature of the Bohemian fascination, the volume is also graced by an unusually larger number of exquisite literary essays. Hence, one will find in this anthology writings by Malcolm Cowely, Norman Podhoretz, Norman Mailer, Theophile Gautier, Honore de Balzac, Mary Austin, Stefan Zweig, Nadine Gordimer, and Ernest Hemingway. Social scientists are well represented by Cesar Grana, Ephraim Mizruchi, W.I. Thomas, Florian Znaniecki, Harvey Zorbaugh, John R. Howard, and G. William Domhoff, among others.The volume is sectioned into major themes in the history of Bohemia: social and literary origins, testimony by the participants, analysis by critics of and crusaders for the bohemian life, the ideological characteristics of the bohemians, and the long term prospect as well as retrospect for bohemenianism as a system, culture and ideology. The editors have provided a framework for examining some fundamental themes in social structure and social deviance: What are the levels of toleration within a society? Do artists deserve and receive special treatment by the powers that be? And what are the connections between bohemian life-styles and political protest movements?This is an anthology and not a treatise, so the reader is free to pick and choose not only wha
