![]() Unclear setting: the setting was.ambiguous. Here are some problems I had with this book that kept it from being anything more than a 2 rating.ġ. ![]() I really am not exaggerating about the boobs. ![]() They try to find the culprit, all the while trying to figure out HOW TO CONTAIN HER BOOBS. Annabel is plucked from a nunnery to wed a Scottish laird when her sister falls through. Well, except for the main character, Annabel, whom I found rather intolerably stupid and untrue to character. The characters are simple, likeable, one-dimensional. Everything is extremely silly, including the main character, and there are no grand entanglements of emotion or misunderstanding that gets in the way of true love. That's not to say it's not enjoyable, for me, it was an extremely easy read, an excellent beach read, because there is no thinking involved. Look no further for deep character development, you will find none here. ![]() It is a very simple book, there is zero complexity here. In fact, I'm pretty sure her legendary bosom has more words devoted to their bounteousness than some supporting characters within the book. Seriously, with all the hullabaloo made over Annabel's boobs, they deserve a place in the title. ![]() Alternate title: An English Bride (and her tits) in Scotland. ![]()

![]() ![]() The premise is a bit simple, but I think the story is decent if you enjoy dark romance. This is intended for mature readers only. The Earl might not show much emotion, but he’s not cruel, and he still treats his slave with more affection than anyone ever has before.ĭespite that, Earl Larsen has dangerous secrets hidden in his past, and someone is willing to use them even if it means hurting Ian. He’s pretty sure Earl Larsen doesn’t think of his “Kitten” as much more than a slave, but Ian slowly starts to see the other side of him. Ian already prefers men and being a submissive, so why not? If he has to get on his knees to ensure he’s fed and safe, it’s a small price to pay. All Ian has to do is agree to be the Earl’s slave, which means cooking, cleaning, and submission. When he’s kicked out of the whorehouse in the middle of winter with nowhere to go and no money, Earl Isak Larsen makes an offer: Ian can live in the Castle where he’ll have food, security, and warmth. ![]() Ian became a prostitute to make ends meet. “Stand and slowly turn around.” Earl Larsen gave him a faint smile. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In July 2021, Saban Films acquired the distribution rights to the film.

The book is engaging and well-illustrated, but not without flaws. He is working with a driver, who is the narrator for the story. The story focuses primarily on Joker, who is drawn to clearly resemble Heath Ledger's portrayal (though he doesn't speak like him), as he is released from Arkham and tries to get back the resources that he had before being locked up. Killer Croc is just a muscular guy with a skin condition, riddler and penguin and just skinny and short criminals respectively, and so on. ![]() Joker is a sort of alt-universe look at Batman, with a hyper-realistic version of the characters not unlike the Nolanverse Batman. ![]() ![]() There are several underlying themes in Jane Eyre that work to enrich the narrative. ![]() Jane Eyre is a story about transcending all obstacles in life to find happiness and, ultimately, love.

He believed he could find his own Prince Charming and have a Happily Ever After romance. He’s old-fashioned that way- a history major who’s enthralled with the history of dating and romantic relationships throughout the centuries. He even told me that he was holding off from having sex until they got to know one another, because he wanted it to be perfect. He’s been depressed, and maybe even suicidal, ever since his boyfriend found out that he likes to wear feminine underwear, especially the sheer styles like the one in the picture above.

Reading the novel, I thought of a Slackian pleasure, which is the work of constructing, in your mind, a flesh-and-blood colleague from the messages she writes. (A last-act queer love story, which taps into the delight of realizing that two colleagues are seeing each other, is surprisingly satisfying.) But the benign vibe only underscores how estranging even the best offices can be, with their demands that we upload more and more of ourselves for work. ![]() the ebb and flow of formality feels sharply observed-that is to say, realistically tricky. He is as alert to Slackers’ individual tics-the team member who uses the 'away' status as a crutch, for example-as he is to the ambience of the program itself. It wonderfully captures Slack’s tropes, from the broad (anxious jokes about the boss reading one’s D.M.s) to the subtle (the use of Giphy to soften an interaction). ![]() I blazed through it in an hour, came up for air, and then immediately blazed through it again-behavior that mystified me until I remembered how I am on Slack. It doesn’t feel much like literature, but it does feel like any number of Slack-adjacent activities: procrastinating, eavesdropping, solving a puzzle. ![]() ![]() ![]() The fourth book in New York Times bestselling author Sarah MacLean’s incredible Rule of Scoundrels/Fallen Angels series.
