Hay más de una manera de seducir a un hombre.
La dulce y tímida Eleanor Lippert lo había conseguido. Tenía el dudoso privilegio de ser la soltera más vieja de Oakdale… y, para colmo de males, era virgen. Ya iba siendo hora de que se deshiciera de su apariencia de colegiala y dejara salir a la mujer apasionada que llevaba dentro. El problema era que no sabía absolutamente nada de hombres y mucho menos del arte de la seducción.
El rompecorazones Cole Sullivan había estado fuera de la ciudad durante los últimos doce años y se daba cuenta de cómo habían cambiado las cosas. La muchacha inocente que una vez lo había ayudado a aprobar las matemáticas era ahora una mujer que necesitaba su ayuda… para cazar a un hombre. Él siempre había admirado a Eleonor, pero aquella transformación habría sido demasiado para cualquiera… Ni un soltero empedernido como él sería capaz de resistirse.

Con sus interminables piernas y su exuberante melena rubia, Lacey Longwood era la fantasía de todo hombre… y la pesadilla de Alec Danieli, porque no podía tocarla y seguir siendo su guardaespaldas.
Lacey no estaba contenta con la situación. No estaba acostumbrada a recibir órdenes, ni a que la rechazaran cuando deseaba a alguien tan intensamente como deseaba a aquel ex-marine de mirada ardiente y penetrante. Alec era tan sensual como el terciopelo negro… y Lacey era, a fin de cuentas, la mujer de terciopelo negro.

DESCRIPCIÓN Y/O SINOPSIS DE ESTE EBOOK
Sir Edward Evan Evans-Pritchard (1902-1973) es un clásico de la antropología social, cuyos estudios etnográficos, al servicio del colonialismo británico, han influido en toda una generación de antropólogos que tomaron como modelo sus famosas monografías sobre los pueblos zande y nuer.
Su importancia e interés no se ciñe, sin embargo, a ellas. Son muy numerosos los artículo y conferencias en los que dejó planteados los problemas sobre el alcance científico de la antropología social, y en este sentido sus “reflexiones” siguen siendo referencia inexcusable para la discusión metacientífica.
La presente edición no pretende ser mera reconstrucción filológica de la temática antropológica tratada por E-P, sino “reflexión de segundo grado” capaz de organizar críticamente los diferentes niveles en los que mueve su obra.
El prisma filosófico desde el que dicha tarea se aborda, es el de la Teoría del Cierre Categorial desarrollada por el filósofo español Gustavo Bueno. Su aplicación nos ha permitido articular el estudio global de la antropología social de Evans-Pritchard atendiendo al doble plano en el que está inmersa: el plano del “ejercicio” y el plano de la “representación”.

Best way to start the Holiday Season! Two beautiful Christmas novellas <3
My Star, My love by Natasha Boyd
Once upon a time, in the beautiful bookworm world, I visited SwoonVille. Why in the world I waited so long to visit SwoonVille is beyond me! A couple of months ago thanks to my AMAZING co-blogger, Ria, I was introduced to Jack Eversea. *Swoon* Just saying his name leaves me in a state of mush!
If you have no clue who Jack Eversea is, you are SERIOUSLY missing out!!!! Keri Ann and Jack have one of the most beautiful love stories that I ever read! When I found out that there was going to be a Christmas novella about these two characters I was ecstatic!! It’s always fun to go back and revisit our favorite couples and see what they are up to 😉
My Love, My Star brings us back to SwoonVille. Oh, yes! Be prepared because Jack is on the naughty list! He has been away from Keri Ann for a few weeks and when these two reunite for an England Christmas vacation be prepared for some major swoon attacks! I don’t want to get into any major details about what happened between Jack and Keri Ann before this because I don’t want to spoil anything about Eversea and Forever, Jack.
This novella makes us see another side of Jack. We meet his family and friends. The scenes with his mum were absolutely beautiful! She’s such a wonderful person. She welcomed Keri Ann with open arms and that made it easier for her to start enjoying this paparazzi free holiday with the love of her life. On this Christmas vacation, Keri Ann and Jack share some unforgettable moments that will bring them even more closer together. Their love is so breathtakingly beautiful! This is such an amazing gift for fans of the Eversea Series! Natasha Boyd does not disappoint! I read it two times because I just can’t get enough! She has created a world where I want to live in! I loved all the new characters that were introduced in this novella and I missed the old ones. I really, really want Jazz’s story!!! I miss her like crazy!!!!
This the perfect way to start the holidays! This couple will completely steal your heart! I highly suggest you read the Eversea Series, but if you feel like reading a wonderful Christmas novella, you can’t go wrong with this one! Jack and Keri Ann’s chemistry is out of this world!!
I give, My Star, My Love, by Natasha Boyd 5 heart-melting, romantic, Jack-Eversea-rules-the-swoon-school stars!
Review:
Many Times, Many Ways by Kate Roth
When I read the blurb for Mistletoe and Hollywood I noticed that two authors were writing a novella about their beloved characters 🙂
I have to admit that I did not read the Desire Resort Series, by Kate Roth, but after reading this novella about Dani and Evan I really want to read it! It took me no time at all to connect with these characters. The writing style was captivating and I devoured Many Times, Many Ways in record time!
Even if I did not read the previous books in this series, I don’t feel like this novella revealed any major spoilers about Dani and Evan’s journey together. It did, however, give me the chance to discover a new couple to fall in love with. Dani and Evan are super fun and sexy. These two have some pretty serious chemistry going on! I was happy to read about their first Christmas together. I can see that they have been through a lot and that this novella is wrapping up their HEA with a beautiful red bow! I’ll make sure to save some time on my Christmas reading marathon for these two lovebirds 😉
I give, Many Times, Many Ways, by Kate Roth 4.5 fun, sexy, romantic stars!
Fun, Steamy Christmas Novella!!!
I completely fell in love with the Eversea Series and Jack & Keri Ann from the beginning. I have loved every moment of this series – and this Christmas novella just makes me want MORE Jack & Keri Ann!!! I love their banter, and simply adored this story set in England with Jack’s mother at Christmas. It was fun and STEAMY!!! I love, love, love Natasha Boyd’s writing and found myself quickly immersed in the story. It was a perfect treat – I had been seriously missing Jack!

DESCRIPCIÓN Y/O SINOPSIS DE ESTE EBOOK
Family-oriented Juliet is a Christmas-dinner cook extraordinaire and is trying to keep it together in the wake of her marriage breakdown two Christmases ago, but the cracks are beginning to show.
Her bright and vivacious sister Gemma was always the favorite daughter. Gemma has no qualms about escaping the festive madness and the pressures of her glamorous job by jetting off somewhere warm and leaving Christmas in Juliet’s capable hands.
When Gemma shirks responsibility one too many times and announces she’s off to the Caribbean (again!), Juliet finally snaps. Gemma offers her sister the perfect solution—to swap Christmases. She’ll stay home and cook the turkey (how hard can it be?) and Juliet can fly off into the sun and have a restorative break.
In the midst of all the chaos, there’s Will, Juliet’s dishy neighbor who’s far too nice to float Gemma’s boat and may secretly harbor feelings for her sister; and Marco, the suave Italian in the villa next door who has his own ideas about the best way to help Juliet unwind.
Will the sisters abandon caution and make this a Christmas swap to remember?

A heartwarming and festive novel
I was very pleasantly surprised by Fiona Harper’s Make My Wish Come True. I admit that initially when I was offered a review copy I felt a bit sceptical as I wrongly assumed that a novel published by Mills & Boon would always be a smut or erotica read. And while there is nothing wrong with that, it isn’t what I generally enjoy reading myself. So I was ready to decline the kind offer, until I read the book’s blurb and saw its enticing festive cover (I adore Christmas, so festive books are pretty much my favourite thing in the world), which made it sound much more like a chick lit novel and right up my alley – and I am very glad I gave this book a go!
Fairly recently I read Jane Green’s excellent novel Life Swap and the premise to Make My Wish Come True rang very similar, even if in this case it’s two sisters swapping lives and not two strangers. It’s always so easy to believe that the grass is greener on the other side when you’re swamped down by the problems in your own hectic life but when experiencing the other person’s day to day routine, as both Gemma and Juliet get the chance to do, it not only shows that perhaps the other side isn’t quite as perfect as you think it is, but it also gives the sisters some much-needed perspective on their own actions. The sisters have a very forced relationship and by not being able to get past old issues and misconceptions this doesn’t ever get a chance to change, until they step into each other’s shoes and for the first time can see what it’s like to be on the other of the accusations.
Both Gemma and Juliet were well-rounded characters who became very real people with each page that I turned. As the story progressed I became more and more invested in their lives and the burdens they’ve been carrying with them for so long. Juliet’s children were a joy to read about; the sullen teenager Violet who perhaps felt more responsibility than she should have on her young shoulders, the incredibly wise Polly who usually sounded like a 40-year-old instead of the 10-year-old she is, and the young twins boys who brought some much-needed joy and mischief into the house. And let’s not forget Will, the gentleman neighbour who is quite a dish to look at too, I wouldn’t mind having a neighbour like that myself!
Despite being a fairly light and flirty read for the most part, the sisterly relationship was quite intense at times and as the story unfolded and secrets unraveled some of the revelations made it a heart-breaking and though-provoking novel too. Thankfully the Christmas setting also added a lot of warmth to the story and author Fiona Harper truly managed to paint that hectic but oh so wonderful atmosphere that goes hand in hand with crazy Christmas cooking schedules and eclectic gatherings of friends and family members who under any other circumstance would have been unable to spend more than a few minutes in the same room.
Harper describes the complicated family dynamics central to the story with a lot of heart, and with her witty writing style she also adds a charm which turns a novel which could so easily have been too intense or dull, into something engaging and heartfelt. And after reading Make My Wish Come True I’m not only very keen to check out one of her other books, but she’s also single-handedly changed my perspective on Mills & Boons novels, which are definitely worth checking out – even if, like me, you’re not a big reader of their more traditional romantic titles.
The grass isn’t always greener on the other side….
This is the perfect read for a little contemplation about family and the way we perceive them and perhaps how we fail to understand how we are perceived by others. The thought behind the story fits well with the Xmas centred plot.
Two sisters who couldn’t be more different even if they tried. Juliet is a mother to four with an ex husband and. She lives and plans each day with detailed minutiae of a mathematician solving a quantum physics problem.
Her sister Gemma is the younger and more carefree of the two. Not bound by husband or child, she roams the world and leaves the details of family life to her elder sibling.
Not surprisingly neither one understands the needs, dreams and character of the other very well.
As is often the case with older siblings, Juliet has kept certain events from her sister to keep her safe and free to live her life without the burden of the past.
In difficult family situations the eldest often takes on the role as the pseudo-parent when the actual parents are unable to care for their children or they are unaware of how their behaviour is affecting their children. Juliet sees herself as that stand-in parent but at the same time wants to be acknowledged for the child she actually is.
When you take over part of the adult role in the family dynamics people tend to expect more from you. Somewhere in the midst of that the child in the situation loses out on a part of their childhood.
So it is no wonder that Juliet has trouble breaking a habit of a lifetime. She still tries to mother her sister and to make it right for everyone around her. That sounds good in theory but in practice everyone has their breaking point.
That breaking point is at the heart of this story and how the family copes with it.
I liked the fact that Harper didn’t end the book with sugar, spice and all things nice. She managed to leave the reader with a sense of contentment and at the same time kept it realistic.
A very good read.
Be careful what you wish for
Juliet has always been the good and dutiful daughter, hiding her mother’s depressions from her younger sister, and taking care of her when their mother was unable to. She is now divorced, with four children, and she is cracking. She lives for her children and their pleasure it seems, driving them to and from school, their sport clubs, and whatever, participating in their schools and clubs and other social things. Taking care of her aunt who is getting worse and worse with Alzheimer. And the most important thing of all: Christmas has to be perfect.
Her younger sister Gemma is working for a movie company, and Juliet does not think too highly about that, but Gemma is really good at her job, and it is exhausting. Long hours, difficult people to work with and to cajole and look after. And Gemma is not up for a Christmas feeling unwanted and unappreciated at her sisters. She knows she has promised to help this year, but she just can’t deal with it. She needs a vacation. She does not need her sisters constant messages and innuendos. But when she visits her sister to drop off all the presents for her nieces and nephews, her sister blows up. And Gemma offers to swap Christmases with her. She will take care of everything, and Juliet should go on holiday on her own. At first Juliet refuses, how can she ever leave her children behind for Christmas, especially after what their mother did, so many years ago. But her children vote for her to swap with their aunt, they also suffer under the strain their mother dealing with. She never has time to just be with them.
And so the sisters swap. Gemma thinks it will all be a piece of cake, how hard can it be? She really does not need her sisters elaborate notebook full of to-do-lists. But she finds out the hard way how hard her sister’s life is.
And Juliet needs to learn how to relax, and not schedule her vacation to death. She is pleasantly surprised by the luxurious resort she ends up at, but seeing all the couples is making her stand out and feel lonely. But she is determined to see it through. And when her sexy younger neighbour shows interest in her, instead of all the beautiful younger women vying for his attention, she pretends to be her sister. How can he be interested in a boring house wife with four children?
This really could be a fun book, but instead, it made me really sad. Both Gemma and Juliet have serious issues to deal with, both thinking the other the favoured child. When they finally, finally got to talking, their eyes opened, and they became more appreciative of the other. But still, I think they need a lot of therapy to work this through.
Especially as Gemma “poaches” on neighbour Will, who has previously shown some romantic interest in Juliet.
The four children, well, they were brats. I am very happy they are not mine. The oldest daughter is a lot like Gemma, and Juliet sees that and resents it, while the second daughter is a spitting image of Juliet, and way too serious already. The twin boys are just a disaster.
Yes, being a mother is very hard work, and this book shows it. But the overall feeling I had when I finished it, was depressed.
Still, Fiona Harper did make me finish the book, and I was a bit surprised by that myself. Normally it would have been an early DNF. Women’s fiction is really not my genre I need a huge dose of humor in it, and here that is really not the case. The story was a good one, although not very original, sisters swapping lives, but just too sad for me.
