Book excerpt: “A Ranger, a pilot, and a doctor walk into a bar...” That was pretty much my life in Hawai'i until my two brothers got married. Now I’m the last man standing. Not a problem. With an 8-pack and a Bronze Star, I’m not exactly lacking company in my waterfront condo on Mauna Kea Beach. Toss in my M.D. and the mastery of female anatomy that comes with it, and I can make a woman beg for more. Unless she’s Samantha. Samantha’s got a life on the mainland that puts her off-limits. So why am I playing tour guide for her... and discovering just how tempting she looks when the turquoise water of Kealakekua Bay soaks her too-skimpy suit? She’s the best friend of my sister-in-law. Godmother to my niece. A fling is not in the cards. A hook-up? Impossible. But then, this is Hawai'i. Anything is possible in paradise.

Book excerpt: I was almost asleep when I heard a new sound, one that instantly made my heart rate increase and my muscles tense. Outside the window right next to my bed I heard quiet footfalls and a rustling sound. And then I heard singing. "Miss Peachay, I want to talk to you," sang a heavily accented male voice. "Miss Peachay, I want to talk to you..." I froze in my bed, the throb of panic in my chest, breathing shallowly. A different voice came closer, nearly in my ear, just speaking this time, softly, enticingly. "Miss Peachay, do you want to go to shungle with me?" Go? To the jungle? I lay in my bed, petrified. I was about to announce that I had no intention of talking to them or going to the 'shungle' with them when I heard another voice. A deep, resonant Scottish brogue, hearty, confident, and calm, speaking fluent Marshallese...SARAH CARRELL was inspired by her first-hand experience teaching in the Marshall Islands in the 90s.

Download or read book West of the Equator written by Cheryl Bartlam DuBois and published by Frederick Fell Publishers. This book was released on 2005-04 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: West Of The Equator is a satirical account of one man's spiritual journey, as told by his spirit guide, Ian - a well seasoned West Indian merchant sailor who narrates the story of a Chicago stock trader who goes to the West Indies and buys a 75' catamaran to set out in search of Paradise. Instead, he finds a female captain who turns out to be the love of his life, chaos, mayhem, and, eventually, true happiness but only after he faces unbelievable trials and is stripped of everything he owns along the journey. In this humbled state, he discovers that he is, in fact, the island, his life the vessel, and that everything he'd every truly needed had been aboard all along. It is a very funny satirical look at life in Paradise and the Zen of sailing.
Download or read book Resurrecting Jack written by Tua Laine and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2022-10-24 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two years after their wedding, Ilsa's first husband Jack Lind, a Finnish diplomat, is flown home from a business trip in cargo. Not allowed to see him again, Ilsa can't believe Jack is really dead, but expects him to walk back into her life one day. When a man who could be Jack turns up at her door twenty years later, llsa is happily married to H, with two teenagers and a picket-fence life in Alabama. Still jealous of Jack, Ilsa's second husband has never wanted to know anything about Ilsa's past. And Jack never liked crowds much. What will Ilsa do if the man at her door is really Jack? As Ilsa tries to reconcile her two lives, an online writer friend hijacks the book she's writing, revises the plot and overwrites her memories of Jack with a twist she never expected. Ilsa's story of love and limerence takes the reader from the 1970s in Finland and Russia through London and Bahrain to an Alabama suburb in the 2000s. "Written with wry humor, 'Resurrecting Jack' explores the recesses of the human heart to show what expedients human psychology is capable of, in the grip of love, in order to deny the apparently undeniable." Robert Grossmith "Tua Laine challenges autofiction. Who owns a story? Who has the right to interpret it? - - - Laine argues smartly and writes creatively. You hear the voice of her own experience and those of her generation, especially in the demands for equal sexual rights for women." Kiiltomato, on Ei tässä elämässä, Jack* "The plot grabs you and doesn't let you go. The novel is an amalgam of Ilsa's current life, her past with Jack, and excerpts from her manuscript. The reader wonders what is true and what is imagined, and how they would want the story to end." Eeva, on Ei tässä elämässä, Jack* "The novel turns her grief into a complex mystery while taking the reader on an armchair trip from the Soviet Union to Bahrain, London and Alabama, and observing the changing relations between men and women along the way." YLE Kulttuuriykkönen, 25.8.2020, on Ei tässä elämässä, Jack* *Translated from media reviews for the Finnish edition, published in 2020.
