His evolution from hip hop mogul to music business empire maker and an adult so in touch (finally!!) with his feelings was deeply wonderful. I absolutely loved the transformation in Chris. She doesnt understand his world and he sure as hell. Riley is a free-spirited boho writer and Shawn is a magnetic and charismatic rapper, riding the highest crest of his career. ![]() She did redeem herself but grudgingly, for me. Commitment Jul-2012 / Contemporary Romance It was obvious to everyone but them they were all wrong for each other. Yes, I know people have to make mistakes and then we have to forgive them, but frankly I think she was a little too selfish. Only 3-4 pages in and I was screaming at the top of my lungs - ARE YOU CRAZY!? And then that unbelievably stupid move she makes nearly made me slam my Kindle to the floor. more roines (with the exception of Keisha :) ) but I was so disappointed in Robyn and her decisions. I have to say that I usually don't have too much difficulty with this author's he. This is the conclusion of Afterward, the relationship between Chris and Robyn. ![]() If you love good writing and a good story you need to read all of Nia's books you can't go wrong. It was also good to revisit old friends Shawn, Riley, Tracy and Brendan. Robyn got on my last nerve so many times, I found myself screaming at her. Chris really touched my heart how he interacted with his kids and embraced fatherhood. Review 1: Amazing! Fantastic! Excellent! Definitely worth the wait!

Captain Nate Reed sets out to investigate Sydney in hopes of learning more about the revolutionary group’s leadership, but finds she’s as much Scepter’s victim as its puppet. ![]() Three-sentence summary: When a powerful, mysterious political organization blackmails baroness Sydney Rowland into taking action that leads to a man’s death, she becomes a person of interest to the loyalists determined to take Scepter down. It was way too easy to put this book down for days or weeks – whereas Harrington’s previous titles have kept me riveted and eager to read in one sitting. Nate and Sydney’s backstories were big-time downers there wasn’t much joy to balance out the heaviness. ![]() Review: A Remarkable Rogue by Anna Harrington (Sourcebooks Casablanca, 26 July 2022)Īs fond as I am of the Lords of the Armory series – and I’m extremely fond! – A Remarkable Rogue was my least favorite of the bunch. ![]() ![]() Alternatively, a patent owner may have manufacturing facilities, but they may not be large enough to cover market demand. The patent owner may not have the necessary manufacturing facilities, for example, and therefore opts to allow others to make and sell his/her patented invention in return for “royalty” payments. This takes place according to agreed terms and conditions (for example, defining the amount and type of payment to be made by the licensee to the licensor), for a defined purpose, in a defined territory, and for an agreed period of time.Ī patent owner may grant a license to a third party for many reasons. ![]() Licensing a patent simply means that the patent owner grants permission to another individual/organization to make, use, sell etc. ![]() ![]() Haben pioneered her way through obstacles, graduated from Harvard Law, and now uses her talents to advocate for people with disabilities.

Though it is very much a literary novel, sparks fly off the page. “LOVING FRANK is a staggering read, a complex tale of the love affair between two eccentric, intelligent and unforgettable characters. Understated yet dramatic, painstaking and convincing, this is fiction with the heft of truth.” “A luminous historical novel … LOVING FRANK is a beautifully orchestrated rendering of the affair and the inner lives of its two love-torn principals. ![]() ![]() ![]() His short stories have appeared in such magazines as City Slab, Flesh&Blood, Book of Dark Wisdom, and Inhuman, and anthologies such as Shivers IV, High Seas Cthulhu, and Vile Things.įor DarkFuse and its imprints, he has written the bestselling The Underdwelling, the Readers Choice-Nominated novella Fear Me, Puppet Graveyard as well as Long Black Coffin.

That might have heightened the suspense, at times, but it was also a frustration, and a bit more depth in terms of explanation and time could have made a big difference. I have faith that there was depth to the mythology involved, but it was so abstract that, plot-wise and progression-wise, it was hard to follow what was happening at every moment. And the larger problem was, pretty simply, one of depth. ![]() One chapter would be all about the horror and the mystery while the next was all about the romance, and so it felt like taking turns more than a natural unfolding of a story that happened to involve both. ![]() As things kept going, though, it was harder and harder to stay engaged.While the author was clearly trying to keep a balance going between horror and romance, things were just too unbalanced. I was sucked in immediately-the atmosphere and mystery of the beginning was intoxicating, and I loved the characters. I have to admit that this was a pretty uneven read for me. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As such, Ka's story gives Pamuk the chance to explore themes as disparate as the cultural, religious, and political divide between the East and West (broadly construed) feminism the link between artistic imagination and harsh reality and the complex, nuanced nature of Turkish identity. Ka is ostensibly in town to write about the suicide of many young girls who were banned from wearing their religious headscarves in secular, government-run schools, but he is really there to rediscover shattered fragments of his own youth and reconnect with a woman he loves, Ipek. The novel-which follows a Turkish poet named Ka as he returns from exile in Germany and travels to the rural town of Kars-is at once satirical, detached, and empathetic with the characters whose lives it depicts. Two years later in 2004, it was translated into English by Maureen Freely and published for an Anglophone audience. Snow is a novel by Turkish author Orhan Pamuk, originally written in Turkish in 2002. ![]() |
