Download or read book Curves for the Alpha Wolf (BBW Paranormal Romance) written by Caroline Knox and published by Silverknox Publishing. This book was released on with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chrissy is a werewolf with a problem: She's changed into a Labrador Retriever instead of a wolf. Worse, her old crush, darkly handsome alpha werewolf Justin, is the one to pick her up from the pound and force her back into her curvy human form. Chrissy is dismayed to find she desires Justin as much as ever. Justin is a werewolf on a mission: He's determined to claim Chrissy for his own. He knows how to seduce Chrissy into freeing her inner wolf. All he has to do is convince her to submit her innocent flesh to him, and he'll take her until she's howling for more. Excerpt: When Justin's fingertips made contact with my sensitive flesh, I couldn’t help but focus on the crash of sensation he caused. I moaned as his touch intensified, his large, roughly calloused hand spreading my trembling legs open to a degree I’d find humiliating if I was in my right mind. I wasn’t in my right mind. I only knew that this was Justin, the man I’d longed for, teasing my nether lips in exactly the way I’d always fantasized. I groaned with the gratification of it even as his touch set me on fire. Between the compulsion of the wild shift tugging at my flesh, and Justin’s fingers drawing a sensuous figure-8 on me, I shook with uncontrollable tremors of need. He leaned into me, adjusting his angle until I shouted with the pleasure of his touch. “Not yet. Hold on,” he murmured. I wasn’t sure if he meant my incipient orgasm or my unwilling physical shift. I gasped, on fire with the searing need he aroused in my body. His clever fingers toyed with me expertly, growing delightfully rough when he brought his thumb into play. He wormed one large finger just inside my tight opening, continuing his steady thumb strokes until the combination of feelings maddened me. My thighs clamped onto his working hand, the dormant sexuality of my body awakened with a vengeance.

Download or read book The Alpha's Curvy Match written by Alex Anders and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-11-12 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sheikh was used to having everything his way. His associates were rich, and his women were thin and easy. He was the gorgeously built heir of royalty. He didn't see why he shouldn't get what he wanted. Jenny, on the other hand, lived in the real world. She was curvy, quick-witted and struggling to pay for college. She thought it would be a fun escape to go with her roommate to a Sheikh's party... but she had never met the Sheikh. When they met, the sparks flew immediately. The Sheikh had mistaken Jenny for one of his airheads and Jenny had to give him a quick introduction to what a real woman is like. He didn't like that so much. Their time together would have been brief if it wasn't for one thing; the Sheikh was a wolf shifter, and as a wolf, he had scratched Jenny. That presented a problem for the Sheikh. In order to keep his secret, his royal family made his victims "disappear." The Sheikh didn't like Jenny, but he didn't want that. So coming up with a compromise, he decides to watch Jenny to see if his scratch would turn her into a wolf. And offering her a high paying job that she can't refuse, he keeps her close enough to figure out if the virginal Jenny would have to die. Will Jenny turn into a wolf on the next full moon? Will the Sheikh let her die if she does? And will the two stop fighting with each other long enough to realize that they might be each other's perfect match? The clock is ticking for them to find out.

When she gets to class late, then sleeps through it again, she’s given an ultimatum by her professor to team up with fellow truant Rock Davidson, one of the guys she’s always had a shy taste for, and take a survey of the university’s tree farm, or get kicked out of the Forestry program. Will she and Rock – who seems preoccupied with getting home before the sun goes down – be able to finish their assignment, or will Lacy get to realize her naughtiest fantasy ever? Warning: This sizzlingly light-hearted 14000+ word erotic tale features long walks in the woods, a nasty professor with no sense of humor, two unbelievable guys who share the same secret, full moon confessions, a rough-and-wild ménage so incredible you’ll just have to read it to believe it, and a happy-ever-after for plus-sized Lacy and the two wolves who love her curves and steal her heart! excerpt: “Lacy, get away. As soon as the moon...” his breathing was ragged. Rock, I was convinced, was dying right before my eyes. “The moon...it...full...” Suddenly, I saw what I thought was impossible. Rock pushed himself to his hands and knees and stumbled forward into a beam of moonlight. Hair? He’s covered in hair? No way. No way is this happening. Not possible. And – what is that? Oh my God he is actually bent over like he’s a... He howled again. And then he charged. “Run! Get away!” He screamed, even as he tore at my shirt. I twisted away from the enraged beast and slapped his hand, or his claw or whatever it was, and escaped with only a rip in my shirt. For a moment we stared at each other, but he lunged and I dodged underneath. Deeper into the woods I ran, looking back every so often to see Rock behind me, almost at my heels. “What are you?” I cried back, hoping he had enough sense to respond. “Rock! What’s happened to you? I can’t keep running forever.” Just then my lungs started burning. The end of my little marathon was coming a lot quicker than I expected. “Car,” he grunted. “Get...to...car...” I couldn’t figure out what he meant, but then the keys in my pocket stuck me in the leg and I spun on my heel, running back in the other direction, avoided another of his clumsy lunges, and bee-lined for the Mini. As terrified as I admittedly was, that same bizarre feeling from earlier came back over me in between expert jukes of the grabs Rock attempted. The warmth that I felt when his skin sweltered under my palm, the scent he carried that made my legs feel a little tingly, and made my tits ache just a bit, it struck me full in the face whenever he thrashed at me and fell past my dodge, and his hair – or fur – brushed against my face.

Download or read book A Taste of Power written by Elaine Brown and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2015-05-20 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Profound, funny ... wild and moving ... heartbreaking accounts of a lonely black childhood.... Brown sees racial oppression in national and global context; every political word she writes pounds home a lesson about commerce, money, racism, communism, you name it ... A glowing achievement.” —Los Angeles Times Elaine Brown assumed her role as the first and only female leader of the Black Panther Party with these words: “I have all the guns and all the money. I can withstand challenge from without and from within. Am I right, Comrade?” It was August 1974. From a small Oakland-based cell, the Panthers had grown to become a revolutionary national organization, mobilizing black communities and white supporters across the country—but relentlessly targeted by the police and the FBI, and increasingly riven by violence and strife within. How Brown came to a position of power over this paramilitary, male-dominated organization, and what she did with that power, is a riveting, unsparing account of self-discovery. Brown’s story begins with growing up in an impoverished neighborhood in Philadelphia and attending a predominantly white school, where she first sensed what it meant to be black, female, and poor in America. She describes her political awakening during the bohemian years of her adolescence, and her time as a foot soldier for the Panthers, who seemed to hold the promise of redemption. And she tells of her ascent into the upper echelons of Panther leadership: her tumultuous relationship with the charismatic Huey Newton, who would become her lover and her nemesis; her experience with the male power rituals that would sow the seeds of the party's demise; and the scars that she both suffered and inflicted in that era’s paradigm-shifting clashes of sex and power. Stunning, lyrical, and acute, this is the indelible testimony of a black woman’s battle to define herself.

Book Synopsis ULYSSES (Modern Classics Series) by : James Joyce
Download or read book ULYSSES (Modern Classics Series) written by James Joyce and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2024-01-10 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "ULYSSES (Modern Classics Series)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Ulysses is a modernist novel by Irish writer James Joyce. It is considered to be one of the most important works of modernist literature, and has been called "a demonstration and summation of the entire movement". Ulysses chronicles the peripatetic appointments and encounters of Leopold Bloom in Dublin in the course of an ordinary day, 16 June 1904. Ulysses is the Latinised name of Odysseus, the hero of Homer's epic poem Odyssey, and the novel establishes a series of parallels between its characters and events and those of the poem (the correspondence of Leopold Bloom to Odysseus, Molly Bloom to Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus to Telemachus). Joyce divided Ulysses into 18 chapters or "episodes". At first glance much of the book may appear unstructured and chaotic; Joyce once said that he had "put in so many enigmas and puzzles that it will keep the professors busy for centuries arguing over what I meant", which would earn the novel "immortality". James Joyce (1882-1941) was an Irish novelist and poet, considered to be one of the most influential writers in the modernist avant-garde of the early 20th century. Joyce is best known for Ulysses, the short-story collection Dubliners, and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Finnegans Wake.
