![]() ![]() ![]() Matthew strong, dedicated & caring, Juliana is feisty, caring & independent. I loved both Matthew & Juliana, their banter is entertaining & their chemistry sizzles. The second Remington sibling to find love & whilst it could be read on its own there is the ongoing thread as to whom is threatening the family, so I would recommend reading the series in order. Matthew soon finds his focus wavering as he tries to determine just who is threatening the Remington family. But just how is she supposed to work for her secret society protecting animals when she is being followed around by a dashing detective? Matthew Archibald has taken on many jobs in the past, but never did he think he would be playing nursemaid to the sister of a duke. Lady Juliana, however, is anything but she is a woman who knows her own mind, and is determined to make a difference. One abduction and suddenly her brother, the Duke, begins treating her like a damsel in distress. ![]()

![]() ![]() Go do it!!!ġ8 year old Tony Ainsley, aka Kitty, aka Ninja, is on the run from her past. This story, Trace, Tony, is all one-click worthy. God, the story, the romance, the sizzle, the background. Moments that I know I will want to read over again. I highlighted 39 pages of passages I want to mention here. Beege drew me in and kept me for the duration. (Don't judge!), I sat in the car reading all anti-social at my daughters dance class instead of chatting to other mums. At the end I wanted to punch myself in the face for procrastinating for days! This was a book that I spoonfed my toddler dinner with one hand, and had my kindle in the other hand reading it. ![]() I'm going to be honest, the cover didn't scream out at me, and the synopsis didn't grab me by the jugular and demand I read it, but I was asked to read it, and read it I did. These Things About Us caught me majorly by surprise. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ultimately Motown decided not to proceed with "Motown South", dropping Owens. In 1972, Owens was signed to a production contract with Muscle Shoals Sound Studio session men Clayton Ivey and Terry Woodford, who recorded Owens at Muscle Shoals as the inaugural artist for a projected southern division of Motown Records.

Owens also performed in local concerts mostly headlined by Motown artists such as Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, the Originals, and Edwin Starr she also performed with Al Green. In 1969, a track she'd recorded, "Keep on Living", was picked up by Josie Records and reached #40 on the Billboard Best Selling Soul Singles Chart. Lead singer Gwen Owens was a native of Detroit, where she had begun singing in church, and after being discovered at a high-school talent show, she recorded for local record labels from the mid-1960s. The group had a million-selling hit single in 1977 entitled " Angel in Your Arms". Hot was a vocal trio based in Los Angeles, California, whose membership was Gwen Owens (born June 19, 1953), Cathy Carson (née Catherine Sue Fiebach) (Octo– June 26, 2014), and Juanita Curiel (born February 25, 1953). ![]() ![]() ![]() As proclaimed, "Rae Carson has proved she's a master and has shaken up the YA genre.

She finds out that Jamie and Jared are still alive, but Jared is so not happy to see her. Dehydrating in the desert is starting to look good after all. They revive, only to find themselves confronted with a dozen or so angry, alien-hating humans. Melanie's Uncle Jeb finds Wanderer/Melanie in the desert and gives them a drink of life-giving water. She guzzles through their water supply way too fast and passes out from exhaustion in the desert. Unfortunately, she's not very good at resource management. To make sure they're safe and keep them that way.ĭeciding to betray her species, Wanderer sets off into the desert and uses Melanie's memories to find Jared and Jamie's hideout.

I seriously can’t wait to continue the series, that’s for sure. I loved the setting so much – I’m positively in love with the story itself.

I loved every page of this book and I definitely need the companion book because I can’t get enough of this world.
