I CAN'T BELIEVE , 19 BOOKS,STILL NO END

I waited forever for the 3 more book and still no end in sight . I really have enjoyed the story but is not a easy going romance, and now I can wait for the next set of books probably at least 6 months. I can rate down for it will leave you wondering with every twist and turn what is happening next. Just be warned.

NOOOOOOO!

I just can't believe it. They split up. She broke his heart. And all the lies save her from her brother. Please tell me they will be together? I'm so sad.

predictable

I wanted to like it but every other installment has Shawn and Avery splitting up. I just know in volume 21 or 22 they will find the way back only to split up again.

Title: Stepbrother: Alpha Billionaire

Subtitle: Taboo First Time Billionaire Stepbrother Romance

Author: Stephanie Brother

Narrator: Chloe Cole

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 9 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-03-15

Publisher: Stephanie Brother

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies

Publisher's Summary:

The one man I can't seem to get out of my head, I'm not allowed to have in it.

Felix. The alpha-male billionaire. He didn't pay any attention to me, but why would he? The prom king. The captain of the football team. A girl like me? I wasn't even on his radar...not until he knew he couldn't have me.

When our parents got married, everything changed. Felix and I moved in together. We became step siblings. My secret desire became my forbidden taboo. I hid it away, denied it existed, and tried to ignore my feelings and move on, but I couldn't.

I couldn't avoid him. Those eyes, those abs, that smile. No matter how wrong, I couldn't stop thinking about him. No matter how forbidden, I just couldn't say no. My skin ached at his touch, pleasure coursing through my body in pulses. My knees weak, just to be in the same room.

Then Felix told me how he felt, and my whole world crumbled around me.

No matter how much we wanted it, no matter how much our hearts and our bodies ached with desire, we couldn't, could we? Not as step siblings. Not like that. There were rules weren't there? Rules you just didn't break.

Stepbrother: Alpha Billionaire is a stand-alone romance novella with adult themes and strong sexual content.

Members Reviews:

Good book

I love that she never gave up on her feelings even after their parents got married. No one should have to tell you who you can or can't love. Stephanie Brother has done it again.

Ok

This is one of the steamier stories from this author, as of late. The storyline is a bit contrived, but still relatable. The H and the h are both a bit immature and seem spoiled, but end up with their HEA. When you finally do get to the love scene it's worth the wait because it's H-O-T. Recommended.

... Felix wait until the wedding to tell Cass he like her.

Why did Felix wait until the wedding to tell Cass he like her .. I wonder if he knew she liked him.. this book was taking me on a spin I didn't know what was going to happen.

Eh

I'm a fan of erotic, but not this one. The characters simply weren't believable in the least.

Book good

Book was good I just hate that they are so short,just as I am getting into it , it's over.

Title: The Early Stories of Truman Capote

Author: Truman Capote, Hilton Als - foreword

Narrator: Scott Brick, Nancy Linari, Sarah Scott

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 44 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-27-15

Publisher: Random House Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 9 votes

Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies

Publisher's Summary:

The early fiction of one of the nation's most celebrated writers, Truman Capote, as he takes his first bold steps into the canon of American literature.

Recently rediscovered in the archives of the New York Public Library, these short stories provide an unparalleled look at Truman Capote writing in his teens and early 20s, before he penned such classics as Other Voices, Other Rooms, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and In Cold Blood. This collection of more than a dozen pieces showcases the young Capote developing the unique voice and sensibility that would make him one of the 20th century's most original writers.

Spare yet heartfelt, these stories summon our compassion and feeling at every turn. Capote was always drawn to outsiders - women, children, African Americans, the poor - because he felt like one himself from a very early age. Here we see Capote's powers of empathy developing as he depicts his characters struggling at the margins of their known worlds. A boy experiences the violence of adulthood when he pursues an escaped convict into the woods. Petty jealousies lead to a life-altering event for a popular girl at Miss Burke's Academy for Young Ladies. In a time of extraordinary loss, a woman fights to save the life of a child who has her lover's eyes.

In these stories, we see early signs of Capote's genius for creating unforgettable characters built of complexity and yearning. Young women experience the joys and pains of new love. Urbane sophisticates are worn down by cynicism. Children and adults alike seek understanding in a treacherous world. There are tales of crime and violence, of racism and injustice, of poverty and despair. And there are tales of generosity and tenderness, compassion and connection, wit and wonder. Above all there is the developing voice of a writer born in the Deep South who will use and eventually break from that tradition to become a literary figure like no other.

Critic Reviews:

"These 10-plus stories were written when Capote was a teenager and young man and will shed light on his subsequent work while remaining sharply observed pleasures in their own right." (Library Journal)

"[A] gathering of the great American prose stylist's earliest pieces, published for the first time.... Students of both Capote and the short story will find this instructive and entertaining." (Kirkus Reviews)

Members Reviews:

Stories From A Young Capote

This collection is a fascinating look at a well known writer in the early days. There is an inkling or hinting at the writer Capote would become in this collection--so it is worth it from that perspective alone. A spare, deeply southern voice and style rings through. Some of the stories are subtly scary--foreshadowing future terrifying books Capote came to write--In Cold Blood comes particularly to mind while listening.

The narration is good. However, some of the stories seem rough and unfinished and even the best narrator can't fix that.

In the end, listening made me appreciate the writer Capote became all the more. Recommended if you are a fan and interested in seeing an artist as a work in progress.

Title: Mendocino Fire

Subtitle: Stories

Author: Elizabeth Tallent

Narrator: Elisabeth Rodgers, Jeff Cummings

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 33 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-20-15

Publisher: Brilliance Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies

Publisher's Summary:

Beginning in the 1980s, Elizabeth Tallent's work, appeared in some of our most prestigious literary publications, including The New Yorker, Esquire, and Harper's. Marked by its quiet power and emotional nuance, her fiction garnered widespread praise.

Now, at long last, Tallent returns with a new collection of diverse, thematically linked, and deeply powerful stories that confirm her enduring gift for capturing relationships at their moment of transformation: marriages breaking apart, people haunted by memories of old love and reaching haltingly toward new futures. Mendocino Fire explores moments of fracture and fragmentation; it limns the wilderness of our inner psyche and brilliantly evokes the electric tension of deep emotion. In this audiobook, Tallent explores expectations met and thwarted, and our never-ending quest to avoid being alone.

With this breathtaking collection, Elizabeth Tallent cements her rightful place in the literary pantheon beside her contemporaries Lorrie Moore, Ann Beattie, and Louise Erdrich. Visceral and surprising, profound yet elemental, Mendocino Fire is a welcome visit with a wise and familiar friend.

Ten Excellent New Short Stories by Elizabeth Tallent

Reviewed by C J Singh (Berkeley, California)

A few days ago, Elizabeth Tallent gave a reading of her story, âMendocino Fire,â from her latest book at Mrs. Dallowayâs, an independent bookstore, in Berkeley, California. "Performed her wonderful story" about tree-hugging young conservationists is a more accurate description. Of the several leading authors Iâve recently heard reading from their latest work at Mrs Dalloway's, none comes close to her vivid performance.

Of the bookâs ten excellent short stories âThe Mystery Callerâ resonated with me the most. It complements one of her earlier stories, âNo Oneâs a Mystery,â a much anthologized story we discussed in our writersâ group. That story is about an 18-year girl who has convinced herself that her seducer, older and already married, will marry her despite his repeated assertions of no such intention.

Members Reviews:

A couple with potential

Great authors, throw away stories. A couple are decent, but most either tease you with a cool idea but fail on execution, or are just outright uninteresting or too awkward.

Disappointment from Big Names

Some great stories, a few (Boyle, Wexler, Mastrantone), but not from Howey, Weir, Wilson or Pratchett.

Hard to Rate

Some of the stories were outstanding, but many were boring or had weak endings. I had to skip a few stories because the topics were so lame.

A Satisfying Sampling of Gaming-Inspired Fiction

It was a great selection of stories running the gamut of game-inspired sci-fi AND fantasy.

Waste of money!

This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

No one. This book was a total bust from beginning to end. Most of the stories are preachy and pretentious. Some started off decent but went to hell fast. Others started off so bad, it was painful to listen to. I was on a road trip so I thought that a collection of short stories was a good idea... boy was I wrong. This was the first bad book I've downloaded on audible but man, this was a stinker.

Would you ever listen to anything by Daniel H. Wilson - editor and John Joseph Adams - editor again?

no

Which scene was your favorite?

The one about the video game where the person is in the desert.

You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Not a single one... this really was a complete waste of time and money.

Any additional comments?

Don't waste your time.

Members Reviews:

Good Stories

Thicker Than Blood is a collection of three short stories of the macabre and the fantastical. In the titular short story, Thicker Than Blood, twin sisters in the midst of a terrible tragedy are swept away to another world. But can they both stay? In Where Is Katie? a little girl may not be all that she seems. Galloway Lake is haunted, but ghosts don't always know when they're dead.

Each of these stories is captivating and chilling in their own way. My favorite was Galloway Lake. And as a bonus, you get to read the first chapter of The Chronicles Of Koa: Netherworld. A book I have read and enjoyed.

So, if you're looking for a quick trip into the world of ghosts and demons that will leave you chilled, you should give this one a try.

Great collection!

I really enjoyed this collection of short stories. Each story paints a vivid picture and leaves you wondering at the end - what happens to the characters next? It's tantalizing in just the right way that makes a story great.

two interesting short stories

As I started reading the book, I was looking for something that tied into the title of the book. I had to be patient and keep reading. I won't give it away, but I will say this, both stories will make you think and may scare the heck out of a pre-teen girl. The stories reminded me of a Scooby-Doo story. Not in a funny way, but if you remember some of the Scooby-Doo ghost stories, then you know what I'm talking about. I enjoyed both books, as well as the lead in to the The Chronicles of Koa. A nice short read.

Exciting and enticing

This book of stories was so wonderful to read. K.N. Lee has once again created something wonderful. From the first short story to the third. It's short but of course because they are short stories. The leave you wondering what happened to these people, an the information you do find out leaves you wanting more. I would recommend this book to anyone!

Darkly Entertaining!

Very impressed with this collection of short stories, I read them all at once. K.N.Lee has written three original tales that will give you chills! My heart is racing from all the dark surprises. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
