He was a philanthropist who donated a fortune to education. Michener also did much else in his long life besides pump out best sellers.

In harder times, I wondered if it was because it was easier to stick around, then having to deal with custody and everything that would need to happen if we weren't together. Any way, as you can imagine, there were many times over the years where I would question why my husband loves me. No one - friends and family included - didn't think we would make it as a couple. ![]() My now husband and me were together for six months at that point. I think if you haven't been in a similar situation, you wouldn't get it. I totally related to Lake questioning why Will loved her. Very teenager appropriate, in my opinion, but definitely still enjoyable as an adult. It's your typical young adult romance - kissing, making out, and fade to black sex. If you are looking for steam, you won't get it. ![]() There is enough plot here to keep you interested. So if you have the same concern going in as me, don't. I was a little worried going in - a whole book with Will just trying to prove his love? And while that is an important part of the book, it's not all it is. Despite it being young adult, despite no smut, I was enthralled with this book, just as much as the last one. So once again I was left really loving this book. ![]() ![]() ![]() Before she seeks vengeance, she must seek training among the infamous assassins of the Red Church of Itreya.Ĭonquer your fear, conquer the world.Mia Corvere, destroyer of empires, has found her place among the Blades of Our Lady of Blessed Murder, but many in the Red Church ministry do not believe she has earned it.Her position is precarious, and she's still no closer to exacting revenge for the brutal death of her family. ![]() Mia Corvere is only ten years old when she is given her first lesson in death.Destined to destroy empires, the child raised in shadows made a promise on the day she lost everything: to avenge herself on those that shattered her world.But the chance to strike against such powerful enemies will be fleeting, and Mia must become a weapon without equal. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Cordelia returns to a London riven by chaos and dissent.

It is immediately clear from the collection of images that Rackham is a master of the medium, being able to evoke character and humour by profile and gesture alone and allowing the two-dimensional effect of his pen work to lead the reader through the book and keep the story going.” (James Hamilton. Cinderella and The Sleeping Beauty differed from Rackham’s preceding books in relying almost wholly on silhouette for their effect. “Rackham gave his talk on Silhouettes to the Art Workers’ Guild in November 1919, the month in which Cinderella, the first of his two great silhouette books, was published. ![]() ![]() I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical romance or westerns. I enjoyed the book cover to cover the first time but when I read it again I stop about halfway through because the rest of the book is kind of boring and not worth reading once you know the outcome. ![]() I must admit though, about halfway through the book the story is less exciting and seems to become a narrative of the sad plight of the Native Americans.

The problem with the warrior's brother is that he hates her and she must force herself into his. When attacked by Mexican militia an unexpected turn leaves Katherine choosing between the nasty band of officers and the dangerous brother of her kind warrior. He is kind and she wisely recognizes that the threat in the group is his older brother. When captured by Apaches she has the sense to go along with them even when an English-speaking warrior announces that she will be his wife. The main character, Katherine, is stubborn and strong but smart you can't help but like her. The beginning is fast-paced and keeps you on your toes. This is one of my favorites and I've read it several times. Review 1: I generally read paranormal romance but also enjoy a good wild-west story now and again. ![]() |
