Sách được viết bởi Bởi: First News

4.5/5 - Review posted: Happily Ever After - Reads Chloe snorted, and Sawyer’s eyes cut to hers. “Like you’d want to be called sweet,” he said. “Not me,” she said. “But then again, I’m not even halfway close to being sweet.” And truthfully, neither was he, she thought. He was big and bad and alpha and gorgeous and smart and brave and loyal… But not sweet. Hell no. First I have to start by saying I have a new book boyfriend crush, and his name is Sawyer. He’s been in the background during the first 2 books in this series as we watched his best friends, Jax and Ford, fall in love, and Sawyer found himself still single yet drawn to Chloe, the half-sister of Maddie and Tara, the women his best friends fell for. Chloe is a bit of a wild child, not in a bad way, but she has a hard time settling down, having grown up in a van traveling around with her mom. She is also very resistant to letting Maddie and Tara in, she’s convinced that people will just come and go, and getting attached or even worse, loving someone, will only lead to disappointment and heartbreak. But the sisters are all now committed to making their inn a success and Chloe finds herself wanting to stick around more and more and starts having plans of her own in Lucky Harbor. Chloe and Sawyer have had some friction from the start - fun friction! Chloe pushes the edge of actually breaking the law in some cases and Sawyer is always the one to stop her from crossing that line (usually), or makes sure she doesn’t put herself in more danger than necessary. But what I enjoyed most about this book is that it’s really the story of Sawyer and Chloe finding their way to each other. There’s a bit of suspense surrounding one of Sawyer’s cases that involves his childhood friend who now hates Sawyer with a passion. But this is just a small thread in a book that’s all about Chloe battling her past and emotions and letting herself feel and be loved. Sawyer's also fighting with things from his past and has tried to be the perfect sheriff to make up for the mistakes he made as a teen. Sawyer is the kind of hero that I absolutely love reading about. He had a bit of a troubled past, causing problems as a teen and on one horrible night was involved in a crash that killed his 2 friends and ended a friendship with another. It was a wake-up call for him, and with no support from his dad, he turned his life around and now as the town sheriff, he tries so hard to be the perfect person for Lucky Harbor. He goes above and beyond in his job and it’s wearing him down. He tries to be everything to everyone and he stops having fun and doesn’t have a reason to enjoy life, until Chloe comes around. He’s a strong, silent hero that is always there for his friends and family, even when said family doesn’t want him there, and on top of all that, he’s damn sexy. How can you not love a guy like this? Chloe stood there, her back to their little circle, lit by the glow of the flames as she squinted to see into the woods. She was waiting, the concern etched on her face. For him. That was different. He’s always been the one to look after people and wasn’t used to it going the other way. And yet he could see it plain as day. Tough as she was, she let her emotions show, every single one of them. He wasn’t good at that and didn’t want to be. He hadn’t managed to stay alive on the job by being an open book. Anything he felt, he kept to himself. And actually, sometimes he wasn’t sure he even had any emotions to hide. But all he had to do was look at Chloe and know that he did. He had way too many feelings. It’d been a damn long time since he’d let anything penetrate, but she’d gotten through. In fact, what he felt for her had invaded his life. Chloe has been struggling to fit in to the family her sisters are trying to make in Lucky Harbor. She’s always been a wanderer and actually having roots somewhere and staying for the long haul is a horribly scary prospect for her and she fights it initially. She helps out at the inn, still travels as she builds up her spa business, but she starts to have these crazy plans, crazy for her, of opening up a spa at the inn and making a long term commitment. The sisters aren’t too sure at first, they’re not convinced that Chloe will really stick around, but she sets out to prove that this is something she can commit to. It’s really the start of her looking at her life differently and she begins to let people in a little bit more when she had been so used to keeping everyone at arms length. Chloe is sarcastic, uses humor to lighten any situation and she had me laughing through the whole book. She brings fun and energy into Sawyer’s life and together they were such an enjoyable, sexy couple to read about. Chloe battles with severe asthma, and one of the sweetest scenes was when they were in bed and Sawyer tells her that he researched asthma and learned about ways they could still be together without compromising her health and breathing. It was beyond sweet and it was nice to see that her asthma isn’t something that’s pushed aside in the story, it’s a big issue for Chloe and with Sawyer’s help, she’s able to enjoy moments that she had never thought possible. He raised a challenging brow. He was sprawled beneath her wearing only his uniform trousers, his body warm and strong, his every muscle taut. God, so many muscles. Even his feet were sexy. Lord, she had it bad. “I could look at you all day,” she whispered. A flicker of surprise came into his eyes and then heat. “Look all you want,” he said. “But first let me-“ He let go of the headboard to adjust himself with a grimace. “Yeah, those pants do look pretty uncomfortable.” Batting his hand away, she popped open the button herself. “Careful,” he said when she reached for the zipper. “Easy, Sheriff. This won’t hurt a bit.” One thing that the story kept counting down to was Chloe actually saying out loud “I love you” to someone…anyone really. She has a hard time expressing her emotions and one passage that really stood out to me was when she talked about why saying those words is hard for her. And you know that when she says them, be it to Sawyer or her sisters, it was going to have not only a big impact on Chloe, but to those around her. Jill Shalvis writes couples so well, and the humor and love between Sawyer and Chloe grabbed me from the beginning, but I also love the way the sisters are written. They have some touching and hilarious scenes, and even as they get closer as the book goes on, Chloe doesn’t lose that sarcastic edge. While we can see that Chloe is changing, wanting things that she’s never wanted before with regards to her family and the inn, she’s still Chloe deep down and doesn’t think twice about giving a wet willy to someone or driving her drunk sisters up to the mud springs for a little midnight dip. This is a wonderful addition to the Lucky Harbor series and while I’m sad to see the sisters stories come to an end, I’m so happy that Shalvis is keeping the small town series going with more books coming next year. There are a few characters that show up in HEAD OVER HEELS that I’d love to know more about. Amy, who works at Eat Me, the local diner and “Cute Guy”…who wouldn’t be curious about a guy who’s only known in the town as “Cute Guy”?! This book is going on the keeper shelf and I already can’t wait to reread and enjoy it again.

Sybill Shepherd puts her own spin on this book. An autobiography that is a "tell all". I don't know that she was entirely objective, but revenge did not seem to be the theme. The only thing that was disturbing was her constant comments about her beauty. She, I have no doubt, really believes her life was centered around her looks (sometimes for the good, sometimes the for bad). How sad. Lots of wrong choices; she tells it all.

Thiết Kế Kết Cấu Thép Với Autocad Structural Detailing - Steel 2012 - Tập 1 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nhóm VHP

It's complicated when you dearly love a screwed-up and beautiful country that rejects you or who you are forced to leave. I understood this before reading this book based on my time in Vietnam. Though I chose to leave, part of me is still there. Well, Aslan's book perfectly captures the complexity of just this situation, and though I picked it up to prepare for a trip to Uzbekistan, this book has evoked a remarkable number of connections to the people I have known, the places I have been as an ex-pat, and current events. He paints a picture of the glorious history of the Silk Road and how, much later while part of the Soviet Union women, removed the veil and pork and vodka were added to the Uzbek diet. Meanwhile, the current government sucks the life blood out of the people through corruption causing many of the men to go to the Soviet Union and Kazakhstan for work greatly affecting the patriarchal family structure there. (No, a feminist revolution hasn't developed so far.) Enter Aslan, our narrator and volunteer for Operation Mercy, who gets a carpet workshop going based on some ancient designs from the days of the Silk Road which are exquisite, enabling him to provide a number of very decent jobs for Khiva's most vulnerable citizens, mostly women. He also lived with a local family whose fortunes he was also able to improve. Though he is very respectful of local customs and fond of the people, he maintains a rather wry sense of humor about some of his acquaintances' actions, statements, and experiences which I enjoyed immensely. Though that is all interesting, I keep thinking about the way other events in the world changed Aslan's story. In 2005, a massacre of 500-700 people in a devoutly Muslim community in SE Uzbekistan occurred. When the international community condemned these acts, Uzbekistan systematically expelled the majority of the NGO workers in the country which basically ended in Aslan's exile from his "home". Tragically, the news of the day has me thinking about Aslan and his book again. Though many of us who live overseas may have become quite cynical about ineffectual NGOs represented by either ridiculously naive volunteers or jaded, if not arrogant, development consultants who drive around in SUVS and sip cocktails under ceiling fans among the other foreigners in any given city on the backpacker circuit, the reality is that there are a number of people who are dedicated to doing what they can to make the world a better place. In Mazar-i-Sharif, the town in Afghanistan where Aslan frequently went to buy his natural dyes, 7 UN workers were just killed today on April 1st, 2011, in a riot spurned on by a wacko burning a Koran in Florida. At the same time, I mourn their loss and lament the fact that politics forced Aslan to abandon the people he was trying to help in Khiva. However, as he revealed at the end of the book he has moved on to help people in similar projects in the region. When I go to Khiva in a little over a week from now, I am going to try to find the workshop he began and tell them Aslan sent me.

The Surgeon is the second book I read for the Great Transworld Crime Caper. I chose this one, because Rizzoli & Isles, the TV show based on this series has been airing here in Holland since last month and both my husband and myself really like it. I was curious to see how the two would compare. Of course this book is very different from said TV show, as most book adaptations are. And however much I love the show, the book, as is the case most of the time, was better. The Surgeon is a police procedural at heart and what struck me very early on in the book is how real the police proceedings seem; it's clear Ms Gerritsen did her research well. No glitz and glamour here, these are normal everyday people and some of them aren't especially likeable either (Detective Crowe I'm looking at you!). Time passes; DNA results take time and aren't ready within the hour, tracking leads can take days and the case isn't solved by the end of the next working day. I loved that there weren't any 'magic' gadgets that solved the case, just honest leg work and brainpower. Ms Gerritsen also displays her background as a medical doctor in the incredibly detailed hospital scenes. She doesn't pull any punches with medical terms, trusting her reader to either understand what she means or letting them just regard it as scene dressing. It also lends a high level of gruesome verisimilitude to the descriptions of the bloody crime scenes and some of the scenes describing what the victims went through. I liked the author's tone of voice. The book is told from four view points: Detective Thomas Moore, Detective Jane Rizzoli, Doctor Catherine Cordell and the killer. Each of these is clearly identifiable and has their own pace and vocabulary. This not only gives the reader different perspectives on the unfolding events, but also helps ratchet up the tension as we see not just Moore and Rizzoli's growing frustration at their inability to find the killer, but also Dr. Cordell's rising fear. And the scenes written from the killer's perspective are so creepy, they gave me goose bumps! The relationships developing between Moore and Rizzoli and Moore and Cordell, professional and personal respectively, were very interesting and I loved seeing how they mirrored each other in the development of trust and respect. What did get me confused was the partnerships, who was partnered with whom. At first Jane is put with Detective Frost, but then she seems to be partnered with Moore. I couldn't keep up, though this switch seems to be due to the forming of a crime unit, because of the serial nature of the murders. But overall I really liked the characters, even those that weren't really likeable, as they too served a function in the story. In the end, The Surgeon was a hard book to put down, not just for me, but for my extremely hard-to-please (as far as books are concerned) husband as well. He filched the book from my to-read-pile on his day off and made me wait till he finished it, before handing it back. This never happens. Normally I have to nag at him to try a book I really loved, so this was a pleasant surprise. He also wants to read the other books now! The book is as much a thriller as it is a pure crime novel, and in that respect was technically and psychologically spot on. I really enjoyed this book and I can't wait for Dr. Isles to arrive, hopefully in the next book! This book was sent to me for review as part of the Great Transworld Crime Caper.

Do you ever feel sorry for those poor, poor wives of rich men? You know, the ones who have so many awful appointments every day for getting their hair done and meeting with their personal trainers and decorators. It's so incredibly stressfull to have to look beautiful all the time. what responsibility they shoulder! Okay, so it's pretty obvious that I don't have a lot of sympathy for their plight, and I think you kind of have to in order to read this book without rolling your eyes. The poor heroine gets dumped. And for Britney Spears no less! Yes, really, this author is all about the name dropping, which makes this book severely out of date to read just a few years after publication. The celeb couples mentioned aren't together any more, and no one thinks of Mel Gibson as a silent brooder any more. I kept reading because I thought it had to get better. There had to be an ah-hah moment where she realizes that real life is okay. But no. The "homeless" fella she falls for turns out to be a billionaire, of course. Maybe you're better at suspending disbelief than I am, and maybe you do truly think that rich women have a tough lifestyle. If so, you'll probably relate to the intrepid former children's book author and current Wife-Of who leads this story. Or maybe you'll just cringe when she has to move out of her McMansion and stay at her best friend's Malibu vacation home when her marriage ends. Maybe you'll think indulging in pink diamond earrings is what you'd do right after a divorce. Maybe your ex would also date a famous pop star. Maybe I would have liked this better if it was more recent. Or if I found it remotely relatable. Or if the author wasn't a cliche dropping wife-of herself (being married to producer Brian Grazer). Heck, maybe he left her once for a pop star and this is her own work of agony, who knows? But I'd skip it if I were you. Spend the time reading about people who mean something. Anything. Or, if you want a book with a wealthy protagonist that *does* get to you, is relatable and is fascinating to read about, try "The Secret Lives of Husbands and Wives" by Josie Brown - one of my favourite reads this year.
