But after Andrew caps one of their predawn sparring sessions with a surprise kiss-a kiss that’s caught on camera-all of Manhattan is gossiping about whether they’re a real couple. Although Georgie’s drop-dead gorgeous, she’s also everything Andrew resents: the type of girl who inherited her penthouse instead of earning it. Teasing him is the most fun Georgie’s had in years-and the fuel for all her naughtiest daydreams.Ĭelebrity divorce attorney Andrew Mulroney doesn’t have much time for women, especially spoiled tabloid princesses who spend more time on Page Six than at an actual job. Though Georgie would never admit it, the highlights of her week are the mornings when she comes home at the same time as her uptight, workaholic neighbor is leaving to hit the gym and put in a long day at the office. Pampered heiress Georgianna Watkins has a party-girl image to maintain, but all the shopping and clubbing is starting to feel a little bit hollow-and a whole lot lonely. Sparks fly between a misunderstood New York socialite and a cynical divorce lawyer in this lively standalone rom-com from the author of Blurred Lines and Love Story. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But perhaps the most impressive feat is how Fitzgerald deftly handles a narrative that is essentially about involuntary confinement and turns it into a caper. There is glitz in the form of Sewell’s mansion, but there is also poverty- represented by Martha’s own crowded apartment and her mother’s dashed optimism. There is a cinematic quality to the narrative and Fitzgerald uses visual and historical details to paint a clear portrait of 1920s New York. Her dialogue is saucy and her devotion to the truth is inspiring, which will speak to readers’ strong sense of justice.

As a boy he watched his father’s obsession with Ryhope Wood change to madness. Gate of Ivory, Gate of Horn follows the adventures of Christian Huxley.

Napoleonic war was nothing if not complex-an ever-shifting kaleidoscope of moves and intentions, which by themselves went a long way towards baffling and dazing his conventionally minded opponents into that state of disconcerting moral disequilibrium which so often resulted in their catastrophic defeat. In this “engrossing,” (The New Yorker) vivid, and intensively researched volume, esteemed Napoleon scholar David Chandler outlines the military strategy that led the famous French emperor to his greatest victories-and to his ultimate downfall. ![]() ⚠️ This book will unfortunately be removed from the service on the 14th of May. ![]() ![]() ![]() A fear of dogs for example, could have its beginnings in an actual scary encounter with a dog, hearing about someone being traumatised by a dog, or seeing a news story or a movie about a dog attack. It might be something that happened to the person, to someone else, or something that was heard about in a story, a movie or in the news. Often (but not always) when there are specific phobias or fears in children, there will be a starting point – something that happened that first made the fear come to life. The good news is that phobias and fears in children are very manageable, and with the right guidance and strategies, kids can be empowered to move straight through the middle of the intense fears that get in their way. The fear is real and persuasive, and for kids, they can be particularly debilitating. Phobias happen when tame, harmless things turn into bullies. They take on a power they don’t deserve, in ways that often don’t make sense. ![]() ![]() ![]() A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire (#2) by Jennifer Armentrout.The Art of Hearing Heartbeats by Jan Philipp-Sendker.A Blizzard of Polar Bears by Alice Henderson.A Court of Mist and Fury (#2) by Sarah J Maas. ![]() East of the Mountains by David Guterson.A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J Maas.See You Yesterday by Rachel Lynn Solomon.The Sun is a Compass by Caroline Van Hemert.People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry.Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid.I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy.House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin Craig.A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J Maas.Valley of Giants edited by Lauren DeLauney Miller.Un Amico Italiano: Eat, Pray, Love in Rome by Luca Spaghetti (it’s pretty terrible).The Age of Witches by Louisa Morgan (felt it was boring, made it 70 pages in).it was good just some parts a bit too much ship talk) Whale Warriors by Peter Heller (got stuck halfway through.The Diamond Eye (it’s good, it’s just not what I’m in the mood for, made it 100 pages in and will eventually return to it).So, book reviews will be added here when the mood strikes. But life is all about procrastinating on things and I will wholeheartedly cling to that motto. If I were one of those super goal oriented people then I’d set a crazy awesome goal like “do one book review post per day” and then in some 56 days I’d be caught up and current. My book reviews are available on Goodreads, but eventually I’ll add all of them to The Hiking Bookworms. ![]() |
