![]() ![]() Now, opening my heart to anyone, no matter how sweet, is the last thing I’m prepared to do.Īlways Only You is an opposites-attract, forbidden love sports romance about a nerdy, late-blooming hockey star, and his tough cookie coworker who keeps both her soft side and her autism diagnosis* to herself. I’m a grumbly grump and his ridiculously good nature drives me nuts, but even I can’t entirely ignore that hot tamale of a ginger with icy eyes, the perfect playoff beard, and a body built for sin that he’s annoyingly modest about.īefore I got wise, I would have tripped over myself to get a guy like Ren, but with my diagnosis, I’ve learned what I am to most people in my life-a problem, not a person. I’ve had a problem at work since the day Ren Bergman joined the team: a six foot three hunk of happy with a sunshine smile. I just hope that when she leaves the team and I tell her how I feel, she won’t want to leave me behind, too. Frankie won’t be here forever-she’s headed for bigger, better things. I’m a player on the team, she’s on staff, and as long as we work together, dating is off-limits. Deadpan delivery, secret heart of gold, and a rare one-dimpled smile that makes my knees weak, Frankie has been forbidden since the day she and I became coworkers, meaning waiting has been the name of my game-besides, hockey, that is. ![]() The moment I met her, I knew Frankie Zeferino was someone worth waiting for. ![]()

Robert Anson Heinlein was born in Butler, Missouri on July 7, 1907. And, rightfully so, it is because of his eclectic works and achievements in the field that he became its first Grand Master in 1974. Heinlein helped usher in the “Golden Age of Science Fiction”, which is a period of time during the late 1930s leading up to the mid 1940s when science fiction gained a large audience and following, and numerous science fiction stories were published.

And I should have known because Butcher can flat out write! There's nothing groundbreaking, but in a way that's refreshing. They are good, not great (maybe as a whole they might venture close to that territory), but really quite good. But how many writers have tried to change genres only to fail miserably? Over the past 3 weeks I've gotten the first 5 books out of the library and have been surprised at how much I liked the series. Irrational? Maybe, but so few and far between are really good series that I didn't want to chance it. I didn't want to even try to get into them for fear that my opinion, so high off the Dresden Files, would be lowered and take some of the enjoyment out of Dresden. That being said, I always passed up this series at the bookstores, I would read the back, read the first page, then inevitably put it back down with serious reservations. I didn't begin to read this series until last month, even though I've been a Butcher fans since Storm Front was first published, own all the books and have read and re-read each at least 2 or 3 times. ![]() ![]() While this wealth greatly benefitted Anne’s practical needs, it proved a hindrance in matters of the heart. It – and the baronetcy – were a source of great pride for Sir Walter, and he saw fit to spend his wealth on every luxury imaginable, so that his home and lifestyle reflected his rank. Its endless rooms were filled with rich furnishings and decorated with the latest fashions. The Hall itself was no less impressive than its grounds. On completing her education, Anne returned to live with her indifferent family on their estate, Kellynch Hall: a grand affair surrounded by parklands for riding and hunting, carefully maintained shrubberies, and stylish gardens. But Anne’s relocation to Bath divided her from her godmother, Lady Russell, who always had Anne’s best interests at heart. Her vain and conceited father, Sir Walter, and her equally self-important older sister, Elizabeth, wouldn’t have offered her any comfort during this difficult time. The first blow came at age 14, when Anne’s much-cherished mother died and – in the grips of her grief – Anne was shipped off to Bath to finish her education. ![]() Three significant blows had led Anne to a life of loneliness and pain. ![]() Despite the wealth and respectability that comes with being the daughter of a baron, Anne Elliot’s life had not been without hardship. ![]() |
