[Siren Classic ManLove: Erotic Romance, Alternative, Contemporary, MM, HEA] Not a Fairy Tale- Preston Joseph Claymoore is a commoner. Lawrence Arthur Pennington is the Crown Prince of Trouvania. After a misunderstanding, Preston ends up disliking Lawrence. He's surprised when Lawrence pursues him with thoughtful gifts and corny messages. They clear the air between them and go on discreet dates due to Lawrence's status. Everything goes smoothly for a while, but right after they announce their dating status, Preston finds himself embroiled in a scandal. A fellow nurse holds a press conference on national TV, accusing him of alleged inappropriate behaviors while performing his job in the pediatric ward at the hospital. He's suspended pending further investigation. Not only does he worry about his financial obligations, there's also the possible falling out with Lawrence. The future monarch of Trouvania will not want to be attached to someone like him. Will the scandal spell the end of Preston's relationship with Lawrence?

But Liam Turner ends up having those pesky feelings for his one-night-stand, Titan Nicholson. He doesn't cling onto the man, though. He knows the deal. It gets complicated when Titan is actually his new professor, who also happens to be an ex-porn star. Titan had plenty of mind-blowing sex working in the porn industry, but there's something about Liam he can't shake off. He plans to chalk Liam up as the one that got away, but he's shocked when the man attends one of his classes at the local community college. Liam knows about his past, but the man agrees to date him. He waits for everything to go wrong, but it doesn't. Just when he's adapting to his current life, his estranged family tries to reconnect with him. After his mom's sudden death, he keeps everyone an arm's length away, including Liam. Will they find a way to bridge the distance between them?

Neighbourhood Effects Research: New Perspectives
Author: Maarten van Ham
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400723091
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
Over the last 25 years a vast body of literature has been published on neighbourhood effects: the idea that living in more deprived neighbourhoods has a negative effect on residents’ life chances over and above the effect of their individual characteristics. The volume of work not only reflects academic and policy interest in this topic, but also the fact that we are still no closer to answering the question of how important neighbourhood effects actually are. There is little doubt that these effects exist, but we do not know enough about the causal mechanisms which produce them, their relative importance in shaping individual’s life chances, the circumstances or conditions under which they are most important, or the most effective policy responses. Collectively, the chapters in this book offer new perspectives on these questions, and refocus the academic debate on neighbourhood effects. The book enriches the neighbourhood effects literature with insights from a wide range of disciplines and countries.

Mortal Doubt
Author: Anthony W. Fontes
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520969596
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
The fear of violent crime dominates Guatemala City. In the midst of unprecedented levels of postwar violence, Guatemalans struggle to fathom the myriad forces that have made life in this city so deeply insecure. Born out of histories of state terror, migration, and US deportation, maras (transnational gangs) have become the face of this new era of violence. They are brutal organizations engaged in extortion, contract killings, and the drug trade, and yet they have also become essential to the emergence of a certain kind of social order. Drawing on years of fieldwork inside prisons, police precincts, and gang-dominated neighborhoods, Anthony W. Fontes demonstrates how gang violence has become indissoluble from contemporary social imaginaries and how these gangs provide cover for a host of other criminal actors. Ethnographically rich and unflinchingly critical, Mortal Doubt illuminates the maras’ role in making and mooring collective terror in Guatemala City while tracing the ties that bind this violence to those residing in far safer environs.

The End of Love
Author: Eva Illouz
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1509550267
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Western culture has endlessly represented the ways in which love miraculously erupts in people’s lives, the mythical moment in which one knows someone is destined for us, the feverish waiting for a phone call or an email, the thrill that runs down our spine at the mere thought of him or her. Yet, a culture that has so much to say about love is virtually silent on the no less mysterious moments when we avoid falling in love, where we fall out of love, when the one who kept us awake at night now leaves us indifferent, or when we hurry away from those who excited us a few months or even a few hours before. In The End of Love, Eva Illouz documents the multifarious ways in which relationships end. She argues that if modern love was once marked by the freedom to enter sexual and emotional bonds according to one’s will and choice, contemporary love has now become characterized by practices of non-choice, the freedom to withdraw from relationships. Illouz dubs this process by which relationships fade, evaporate, dissolve, and break down “unloving.” While sociology has classically focused on the formation of social bonds, The End of Love makes a powerful case for studying why and how social bonds collapse and dissolve. Particularly striking is the role that capitalism plays in practices of non-choice and “unloving.” The unmaking of social bonds, she argues, is connected to contemporary capitalism which is characterized by practices of non-commitment and non-choice, practices that enable the quick withdrawal from a transaction and the quick realignment of prices and the breaking of loyalties. Unloving and non-choice have in turn a profound impact on society and economics as they explain why people may be having fewer children, increasingly living alone, and having less sex. The End of Love presents a profound and original analysis of the effects of capitalism and consumer culture on personal relationships and of what the dissolution of personal relationships means for capitalism.
