Описание: Best friends in need

Reluctant Hometown Hero by Heatherly Bell

Former army officer Ryan Davis doesn't relish the high-profile role of town sheriff, but when duty calls, he responds. Even if it means helping animal rescuer Zoey Castillo find her missing dog. When Ryan asks her out, Zoey is wary of a relationship in the spotlight--especially given her past. If the sheriff wants to date her, he'll have to prove that he's as good a bet as man's best friend.

The Returning Hero by Soraya Lane

Six months after her husband's death, Jamie knows she has to start living again. And when fellow soldier Brett Palmer turns up, Jamie knows it's fate. Brett does everything he can to fight their connection. Until the words slip out--he's always loved her. With a second chance staring them both in the face, there's no going back...

Описание: "Relentless and revelatory." --The New Yorker

"Urgent, enlightening." --The Washington Post

"A timely indictment of the way our society treats women's anger." --People

Rage Becomes Her is an "utterly eye-opening" (Bustle) book that gives voice to the causes, expressions, and possibilities of female rage.

As women, we've been urged for so long to bottle up our anger, letting it corrode our bodies and minds in ways we don't even realize. Yet there are so, so many legitimate reasons for us to feel angry, ranging from blatant, horrifying acts of misogyny to the subtle drip, drip drip of daily sexism that reinforces the absurdly damaging gender norms of our society.

In Rage Becomes Her, Soraya Chemaly argues that our anger is not only justified, it is also an active part of the solution. We are so often encouraged to resist our rage or punished for justifiably expressing it, yet how many remarkable achievements would never have gotten off the ground without the kernel of anger that fueled them? Approached with conscious intention, anger is a vital instrument, a radar for injustice and a catalyst for change. On the flip side, the societal and cultural belittlement of our anger is a cunning way of limiting and controlling our power--one we can no longer abide.

"A work of great spirit and verve" (Time), Rage Becomes Her is a validating, energizing read that will change the way you interact with the world around you--personally, professionally, and politically.

Описание: Today over half of all American households own a dedicated game console and gaming industry profits trump those of the film industry worldwide. Soraya Murray's insightful study examines issues of gender, race, and space in relation to a range of popular contemporary games. She explores blockbusters including The Last of Us, Metal Gear Solid, Spec Ops: The Line, Tomb Raider and Assassin's Creed to show how they are deeply entangled with American ideological positions and contemporary political, cultural and economic conflicts. As quintessential forms of visual material in the twenty-first century, mainstream games both mirror and spur larger societal fears, hopes and dreams, and even address complex struggles for recognition. Murray examines the elaborately constructed characters and densely layered worlds of these popular games, tracing how their social and environmental landscapes reflect ideas about gender, race, globalization, and urban life. In this emerging field of study, Murray provides novel theoretical approaches to discussing games and playable media as culture.

Описание: "The Mystery of the Wooden Rose" is the culmination of a story that begins when young Gypsy lad Eddie carves a token for his childhood sweetheart. In Before the Rose, set in the 1800's, we discover the way of life of travelling families, we observe and enjoy their customs, and as we follow their hardships we fall in love with the characters. In the heat of the moment under tragic circumstances, Mary utters a vile curse and we learn that it is not just the sins of the fathers that come back to haunt us but also the sins of the mothers. In The Wooden Rose, Alina finds the token 100 years after it was lost, and this sparks a chain of events at a time in her life when she has lost everything that she holds dear to her. Embarking on a new path she solves a mystery, finds love and reconnects with her roots through the appearance of a ghost. In After the Rose, Alina is asked by the police to help with a cold case; a missing teenager, and in spite of the risk to herself, she agrees. She has made a promise to the Goddess to help those in need whenever she can, hoping and believing that good deeds will in some way break the curse made by her ancestor Mary so long ago. Alina's pagan faith has taught her that what you put out comes back to you threefold and her mission is to break the curse so that it no longer affects anyone especially the children that she hopes to have in the future. Every month, in the dark of the Moon she performs her banishing ritual, Will this be enough, or will Alina's future happiness be marred by sins of the past.

Описание:

When journalist Ella Franks is unmasked as a woman writing under a male pseudonym, she loses her job. But having risked everything to write, she refuses to be silenced and leaps at the chance to become a correspondent in war-torn France.

Already entrenched in the thoroughly male arena of war reporting is feisty American photojournalist Danni Bradford. Together with her best friend and partner, Andy, she is determined to cover the events unfolding in Normandy. And to discover the whereabouts of Andy's flighty sister, Vogue model Chloe, who has followed a lover into the French Resistance.

When trailblazing efforts turn to tragedy, Danni, Ella and Chloe are drawn together, and soon form a formidable team. Each woman is determined to follow her dreams "no matter what", and to make her voice heard over the noise of war.

Europe is a perilous place, with danger at every turn. They'll need to rely on each other if they are to get their stories back, and themselves out alive. Will the adventure and love they find be worth the journey of their lives?
