Easy peasy.Įxcept it isn't because just as he goes to get her, turns out Jane was going to bust out on her own. All he has to do is slip in, grab her, get her home to her parents. He gets handed a case to rescue and return Jane from the hands of a bad guy. So we have Grant who is technically retired but has an itch for danger and can't quite walk away. I could not have asked for more of this book, I really couldn't. It has a super tough, ex-military hero, a woman in trouble who isn't quite a damsel in distress, a hasty getaway and danger. You guys, this is everything that I love about Linda Howard. In the time they spent together, questions of guilt and innocence began to fade against the undeniable reality that two people from such different worlds should never have met. Grant Sullivan had been one of the government's most effective agents, and he's agreed to rescue Jane Hamilton Greer, a wealthy socialite possibly engaged in espionage.

It's a shame that the audio book couldn't utilize the more than three dozen sumptuous photographs and illustrations that grace the print edition, showing the club in all its gaudy Victorian splendor and providing mugs of the Levee's many legendary figures. For the reformers who sought to shut down the whorehouses, though, her vocal creativity falls flat the same schoolmarmish voice is used for every religious or legal reformer in Chicago. Bean emerges as a narrator with a curious double standard: for the madams, aldermen and other colorful characters who populated the Levee red light district a century ago, she creates unique voices full of dialect, humor and pathos. Abbott's scintillating tale of prostitution and scandal, however, is not well-served by this plodding audio rendition. Learn more about possible network issues or contact support for more help.

Riley must make a choice: walk away from what the blog has created-a lifeline, new friends, a cause to believe in-or stand up, come out, and risk everything. But just as Riley’s starting to settle in at school-even developing feelings for a mysterious outcast-the blog goes viral, and an unnamed commenter discovers Riley’s real identity, threatening exposure. On the advice of a therapist, Riley starts an anonymous blog to vent those pent-up feelings and tell the truth of what it’s REALLY like to be a gender fluid teenager. And between starting a new school and having a congressman father running for reelection in uber-conservative Orange County, the pressure-media and otherwise-is building up in Riley’s so-called “normal” life.

After Christopher goes missing for six days, a series of strange occurrences take place, including a lottery windfall and Christopher’s sudden intelligence. “Imaginary Friend” tells the story of 7-year-old Christopher who moves with his mother to a new town when she flees an abusive ex.
