So be forewarned if you don’t handle the subject well or find that it is a line that shouldn’t be crossed, this novel most likely won’t rock your boat. ☠️ – ok so here’s the thing, rape can be a VERY tricky subject matter to intertwine into a romance novel. □ – there is a sneaky, intriguing plot twist that I did not anticipate.I don’t write spoilers so you’ll just have to trust me on this Two hot male antagonists, NO complaints here! but the lovely Weston King (which we met in the prologue) is also a stunner throughout the novel. □ – Donovan Kincaid is just downright delicious and dirty. □ – superb sexual chemistry between the protagonist, Sabrina, and the antagonist Donovan Stemming from the coattails of “Dirty Filthy Rich Boys”, which is a short prologue and a MUST – read prior to this novel, we are introduced to one of my favorite alpha-hole males Mr. Donovan was intended for filth, and he was wise to lay it out from the beginning.” ~ Sabrina “There were men who were intended for futures, and there were men who were intended for filth.

Instead, I’ll share some more about it here, as a taster for what’s to come in the presentation. Although my presentation this month on Anna Katharine Green will be covering more than just her first book, The Leavenworth Case has enough to say about itself it could be an entire presentation unto itself. V for vendetta graphic novel5/30/2023 Skillfully plotted, V is an essential read for all those who love comics and the freedom, as a medium, they allow a writer as skilled as Moore. The original series was black and white and that added to the grittiness of the feel while the coloring here in the graphic novel sometimes blurs David Lloyd's fine drawing. V feels slightly dated like all past premonitions do. The only blot on its particular landscape is a lone terrorist who is systematically killing all the government personnel associated with a now destroyed secret concentration camp. It is 1998 (which was the future back then!) and a Fascist government has taken over the U.K. He began V back in 1981 and it constituted one of his first attempts (along with the criminally neglected but equally superb Miracleman) at writing an ongoing series.

For the other half, they must look to the continent’s remaining royals for a foreign army. Valyanrend’s rebels and thieves have made common cause for the first time in centuries, but they form only half of the resistance necessary to challenge the imperator.

Studies outside of the laboratory have since confirmed Paxlovid’s effectiveness among people who have been vaccinated. The drug, developed by Pfizer, has a lot of positives: It had an 89% reduction in the risk of hospitalization and death in unvaccinated people in the clinical trial that supported the EUA, a number that was high enough to prompt the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to prioritize it over other COVID-19 treatments. So, if you test positive for the coronavirus and you are eligible to take the pills, you can take them at home and lower your risk of going to the hospital. Paxlovid is an oral antiviral pill that can be taken at home to help keep high-risk patients from getting so sick that they need to be hospitalized. The drug was granted an emergency use authorization (EUA) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in December for anyone ages 12 and older who weighs at least 88 pounds, and is at high risk for severe disease. Paxlovid is the latest COVID-19 treatment that’s been all over the news. Because information about COVID-19 changes rapidly, we encourage you to visit the websites of the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO), and your state and local government for the latest information.
