Summary:

Oh. My. God. Carrie Morgan can't escape her cheating ex fiance. She goes on her Hawaiian honeymoon fantasy vacation to prove she's over him-but he's there with his mistress in tow. Good thing Carrie's annoyingly over-protective friend Blake came with her. How's she going to prove to her ex she's over him? Easy. One . . . Two . . . Three . . . She grabs Blake and kisses him.

Blake Harris isn't about to let anyone take advantage of his heartbroken friend Carrie. And that includes himself, even if she's sexy as sin in that bikini. Then she kisses him-and he's on fire. Damage done, but he can back off. Except he sees that broken look in Carrie's eyes. No. Hell no. New plan. He intends to show her ex just what he's thrown away.

The kisses? For show. The heat? Part of the performance. The private practice sessions? Uh-oh. Those are starting to feel a bit too real . . .

Title: International Relations: A Very Short Introduction

Author: Christian Reus-Smit

Narrator: Johnathan Rufus Welsh

Format: Unabridged

Length: 04:31:08

Language: English

Release date: 08-31-21

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Global Politics

Summary:

International relations affects everyone's lives: their security, economic well-being, rights and freedoms, and the environment they share. Recently we have seen the transformation from a world of empires to today's world of sovereign states, which are enmeshed in a complex array of international institutions, all exercising degrees of political authority. The new global organization of political authority has far-reaching consequences.

This Very Short Introduction untangles this complex world, providing an accessible framework for understanding the contours of global political change. Christian Reus-Smit treats theory as an indispensable tool for grasping international relations, but demystifies theorizing, introducing it as an everyday human practice. He surveys a range of theories, from realism to feminism: reading them as contrasting perspectives on the global organization of political authority. Historically, such organization has been shaped by diverse social forces, four of which are discussed in detail: shifting patterns of warfare, changing economic conditions, struggles for rights, and the politics of culture. Reus-Smit concludes with a reflection on the future of international relations in an era of profound global change.

Title: American Intellectual History: A Very Short Introduction

Author: Jennifer Ratner-Rosenhagen

Narrator: Suzie Althens

Format: Unabridged

Length: 04:33:27

Language: English

Release date: 08-31-21

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, World

Summary:

Long before the United States was a nation, it was a set of ideas, projected onto the New World by European explorers with centuries of belief and thought in tow. From this foundation of expectation and experience, America and American thought grew in turn, enriched by the bounties of the Enlightenment, the philosophies of liberty and individuality, the tenets of religion, and the doctrines of republicanism and democracy. Crucial to this development were the thinkers who nurtured it, from Thomas Jefferson to Ralph Waldo Emerson, W. E. B. Du Bois to Jane Addams, and Betty Friedan to Richard Rorty. This addition to Oxford's Very Short Introductions series traces how Americans have addressed the issues and events of their time and place, whether it is the Civil War, the Great Depression, or the culture wars of today.

Spanning a variety of disciplines, from religion, philosophy, and political thought, to cultural criticism, social theory, and the arts, Jennifer Ratner-Rosenhagen shows how ideas have been major forces in American history, driving movements such as transcendentalism, Social Darwinism, conservatism, and postmodernism.

Summary:

In 1955, small-town girls flock to Minneapolis for work, love, and adventure. But Teresa Hickman, from Dollar, North Dakota, is a special case. Beguiling. Promiscuous. And, on a chilly April morning, dead along an abandoned trolley track in a Southside neighborhood.

Teresa Hickman was three months pregnant when she was strangled. Was the unborn child's father also her killer? Could the killer have been--among the many men drawn to her like flies to honey--Dr. H. David Rose, a middle-aged dentist who admits he was with her the night she died? There's no forensic evidence or credible witnesses tying him to the murder. Yet the police, including a pair of obsessive investigators with lethal secrets of their own, agree that a Jewish dentist will get them a conviction.

Dr. Rose's spectacular trial and its shocking aftermath will mesmerize the Upper Midwest like few crime sagas before or since.

Contains mature themes.

To prevent the next great war between the gods and supernaturals, I had one job. Keep my sons far, far away from Aradia.

Then why are they sitting next to me, enjoying their own Italian getaway?

Back home, they're Josh and Jacob, two average college freshmen with a propensity for pranks. In my world, they are the She-Wolf's twins, feared and fated to rise-or fell-great empires.

Nonna swears it's fine. They're safest by my side here on Aradia. That's why she invited them to celebrate their eighteenth birthday with their mother.

But it doesn't feel fine. Suddenly, my stalker god has found his voice, whispering in the shadows and speaking in dreams.

Fortunately, I've finally begun to master my powers, and for the first time, I feel strong enough to protect my sons-from the Council, from evil mages, and even from the gods themselves.

I only hope I'm not mistaken.

When a client drops dead during Lexi's spin class, she's not too surprised. After all, it's a tough class. But within days, another death occurs, this time, on the treadmill. Then, when her running partner bites the dust, it becomes personal.

Sent undercover, Lexi takes a job as Montgomery's newest gym instructor in a bid to find the killer. With her professional and personal lives headed on a collision course, Lexi is glad to take the case. Now she only has to convince her boss, and new boyfriend, Solomon, that she's ready to solve her own case after she learns a disturbing connection between the victims.

To make matters even more challenging, Lexi's best friend, Lily, is planning for better or worse with Lexi's brother.
