Aiden king rina kent7/8/2023 he’s unbelievably attractive, ruthless, has great forearms, and is a dominant jackass. You can read Reign of a King and Rise of a Queen without having read her other series, but it does help quite a bit (and they were SOOO good, it’s worth it!). This duet has shades of the bully vibe, too. I blew through that series in record time. I mention this because while The Kingdom Duet is technically romantic suspense, it is a spin-off of Rina Kent’s other series, The Royal Elite, which is a bully romance. I feel a tinge guilty about it because the behavior in real life would have me screaming “call the cops, this guy scares the crap out of me!” But, since this is between us, I’m confessing my love for this genre. My current addiction is bully romance books. Kingdom Duet: Reign of a King and Rise of a Queen

So Fair a Lady by Amber Lynn Perry7/8/2023 The Frontiersman’s Daughter, Courting Morrow Little, and The Colonel’s Lady. Actually, her first three books all take place during the Revolutionary War era, I believe. A Moonbow Night doesn’t cover much about the war, but it’s certainly set during the era and makes the wildness of the ‘frontier’ of the mountains comes to life. Laura Frantz writes lyrical and spellbinding historical fiction. Of COURSE, I had to put one of my all-time-favorite authors, first. Please, oh please, add more recommendations to this short list, but I thought I’d start us off with a few □ The Frontiersman’s Daughter In celebration of this American holiday, I thought I’d share some fantastic fiction that takes place during (or around) The Revolutionary War era. Happy Independence Day…or as my British friends say, “Happy Treason Day!” □ Sheree is happily married to her beloved husband, Mike Dardis. WLWT-TV anchors Sheree Paolello and Mike Dardis announced their engagement Jan. During Sheree Paolello's fourth tennis lesson at the Mercy Healthplex in Anderson, she gets a chance to play against kids as young as 6-years-old.a cheeky lap dance and a couple of drinks before continuing your night may be fun for some people, I understand that, but blowing thousands of dollars and desperately trying to fuck your favourite stripper during or after her shift before getting dragged out and thrown in a cab back to your soon-to-be wife is the more common scenario we see. “The house where the music video for Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” was recorded was previously used by Liam Hemsworth to cheat on Miley with more than 14 women while they were married,” the account tweeted, but the tweet itself is unverified.Ps. Wife cheated during engagement reddit Pop culture Twitter PopTingz claimed that the set of the music video was where Hemsworth allegedly cheated on Cyrus with 14 women. But she's pretty worked up even before he arrives, wilting from the effort of running errands in the village. Merricat naturally hates Charles, as he represents a threat to her carefully conceived order of the house. But Sebastian Stan, as the dashing cousin Charles who shows up at the house to woo Constance and make a stab at the family fortune, is never quite able to pull off the duplicitous charm of this strange new interloper. Two men are also in the picture: Crispin Glover is always halfway to disturbed, so he makes a fine Uncle Julian, the girls' dithering relative who was paralyzed by the poison attack and now spends his days obsessively recreating that deadly dinner in his memoirs. Taissa Farmiga plays Merricat with her anxieties front and center, blindly battling a world she doesn't understand, while Alexandra Daddario makes Constance into a beautiful, naive waif whose cluelessness practically renders her a ghost. It's a shame, then, that director Stacie Passon (who previously helmed the erotic drama Concussion) makes the creepy stuff too low-key, less a case of building dread than growing impatience. But any adaptation that can't sell this central hook will put the story's other elements - Constance's sexual repression and the public's simmering hatred of the Blackwoods chief among them - out of whack. This mystery is tough to render on film, because it's so dependent on the inner mindsets of the characters.
