˃˃˃ Excerpt:
Celia experienced the most unreasonable urge to run her fingers along the stubbly expanse of his cheeks, down his square jaw, and over his strong chin. Mesmerized by his full bottom lip, she inhaled a deep breath and nearly choked.
The very scent of him hinted at a lethal combination of freshly fallen snow, a warm winter fire, and sweet seduction rolled into one incredibly enticing package.

A pair of inexperienced sleuths attempts to best Captain Heimrich in this mystery from the authors of the "excellent" Mr. and Mrs. North series (The New Yorker). Capt. M. L.

Once you start The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, there's no turning back. This debut thriller – the first in a trilogy from the late Stieg Larsson – is a serious page – turner rivaling the best of Charlie Huston and Michael Connelly. Mikael Blomkvist, a once-respected financial journalist, watches his professional life rapidly crumble around him. Prospects appear bleak until an unexpected (and unsettling) offer to resurrect his name is extended by an old-school titan of Swedish industry. The catch – and there's always a catch – is that Blomkvist must first spend a year researching a mysterious disappearance that has remained unsolved for nearly four decades. With few other options, he accepts and enlists the help of investigator Lisbeth Salander, a misunderstood genius with a cache of authority issues. Little is as it seems in Larsson's novel, but there is at least one constant: you really don't want to mess with the girl with the dragon tattoo. Views: 65
The latest collection from the master storyteller. The fourteen
- all new - stories show Jeffrey Archer's great skills with a wide variety of
character, of subject and of setting, but all with that trademark twist in the
tail. Every reader will have their own favourites: the choices run from love at
first sight across the railway tracks to the cleverest of confidence tricks,
from the quirks of the legal profession to the creative financial talents of a
member of Her Majesty's diplomatic service. One of the most intriguing describes
a woman who only appears to her lover every six years. And one of the most
powerful is the story of a wealthy man who declares himself bankrupt in order to
discover which of his family and friends will support him. The last story, 'The
Grass is Always Greener', is possibly the best piece Archer has written. To Cut
a Long Story Short is Jeffrey Archer's fourth story collection, and shows him at
the top of his form. Views: 65

SUMMARY:
Serenity Makepeace knows a lot about whole-grain bread, but she doesn't know beans about business. She's expanding her natural foods emporium to sell local handicrafts by mail -- which she hopes will benefit her offbeat artist community in Witt's End, Washington. But she needs a crack financial adviser to make her dream a reality -- so she charms her way into the office of Caleb Ventress, a handsome wolf in conservative clothing. An expert in the art of the deal, Caleb isn't sure what to make of the unconventional Serenity -- but there's no doubt he's attracted. A pass from a paragon of conformity -- even one as handsome as Caleb -- is more than free-spirited Serenity bargained for. But when a lethal blackmailer threatens her plans and perhaps her life, she puts her whole trust in the man who seems her complete opposite -- and the net result might be true love. Views: 65
