Sinopse

In "Men in War," Andreas Latzko delivers a poignant exploration of the human experience in warfare, deftly capturing the psychological turmoil and moral dilemmas faced by soldiers. The book is structured as a series of interconnected stories, showcasing Latzko's lyrical prose and acute observations of the physical and emotional scars left by conflict. Written during the aftermath of World War I, this work serves as a powerful commentary on the futility and destructive nature of war, aligning with the modernist literary context that sought to interrogate traditional narratives of heroism and valor. Andreas Latzko, an Austrian author and veteran of the Great War, draws from his own experiences to craft these narratives, reflecting both the disillusionment of a generation and the intimate struggles of those who serve. His background in history and his insights into the human condition enable him to create a profound sense of empathy for his characters, blending autobiographical elements with fiction to dissect the trauma of warfare and its lingering effects on the psyche. For readers seeking a profound meditation on the complexities of war and its impact on humanity, "Men in War" stands as an essential read. Latzko's insightful prose invites readers to contemplate the often-grim realities faced by soldiers, making this book not only a compelling literary work but also a vital historical reflection.

    Never trust a campus god.  
    Knight Reed is a devil heir with a chip on his shoulder. The arrogant a-hole I love to hate. 
    His name may be Knight, but that armor is black as coal. He’s a beautiful god with a wicked heart. I know because my mom used to work for his family. An act of brutal violence in the woods and he gets my mom fired, ultimately leaving us homeless. That was the last time I saw him face-to-face. 
    At least, until recently. 
    He’s frat boy royalty at my new university, a campus god amongst the rich and elite. There’s little interest in a freshman like me. 
    But then I cross him, putting an end to me being invisible here in his world. 
    At a party, I see something I shouldn’t have seen. Now, suddenly, the campus god has me tackled on a bed with his hand around my throat. He tells me to forget what I witnessed. Do that or the end result will be bad for me. He’s hellbent on crushing my little dove wings and all I see is that cruel boy from the woods that day. 
    When it comes to Knight, I can’t seem to stay out of his way or keep my trap shut around him, no matter how hard I try. He tells me my little mouth will get me in trouble, but I think he’s wrong. 
    I’m not afraid what will happen if I spill his secrets. What terrifies me is how badly I want to see what might be beyond all that coal-black armor... 
    It’s possible that, to some small measure, I’m tempted to give in to the only devil I’ve ever known. 
    The dark knight himself.

    No woman wants a pity proposal.  
    Just because I’m turning forty, dealing with perimenopause, and recently dumped another loser doesn’t mean I need rescuing—especially not by my best friend. 
    But when Dallas Gamble blurts out that we’re engaged in a very public attempt at protecting me, there’s not much I can do but play along. Bless his dumb, beautiful heart. 
    The man has always been impulsive. Protective. Flirty. And able to fill out a pair of Levi’s like nobody’s business. In no time at all, he slides a ring on my finger, moves me into his house, and swears it’s no big deal.  
    But then things get complicated. 
    Because suddenly, he’s trying—as in, really trying. And even though every clumsy romantic gesture ends in disaster, it’s getting harder to pretend this isn’t real.  
    Dallas Gamble was never supposed to be my happily ever after. If we do this, I risk losing my best friend. 
    And if we don’t… I might lose the great love story I’ve been chasing my whole life. 
    But I’m starting to think it’s about bucking time we go for it. 
    About Bucking Time is a later-in-life cowboy romantic comedy between the town flirt and his veterinarian best friend. It comes complete with a weed-smoking Meemaw, a drunken marriage pact, a herd of nosy siblings, a runaway heifer, and no third-act breakup because our heroine refuses to play that game. Grand gestures—yes, plural—and one long-overdue happily ever after are guaranteed. No vintage romance novels were harmed in the making of this romcom, but they definitely inspired it.

    Annie Lawton is excited to interview for a position in the same company that her husband, Ken, works for. After all, she is about to enter the workforce after twenty-plus years as a stay-at-home mom. 
     
    It turns out that company CEO, Hugh Girard is a pervert of the highest order, and has no interest in hiring any middle-aged woman—convinced, that only young women have what it takes to lure in male investors.
     
    But, being the good husband that he is, Ken will have none of it. He goes to bat for Annie by assuring Hugh that his wife really does have the kind of body that can do the job. It’s just that it’s hidden beneath all the formal business attire she has on. But Hugh, being the pig that he is, wants proof.
     
    He invites Annie to undress in front of him, and Ken, and the four other executives on hand. And Ken, much to her surprise and outrage, sees nothing wrong with it.
     
    Well, Annie won’t have it. But then, Hugh offers her more money…and even more. Besides, Ken points out, it’s just a little strip-show, right? Finally, Annie agrees.
     
    Shivering, sweating, and in utter disbelief, Annie starts to undress in front of six male executives. She is on her way toward becoming one seriously embarrassed naked female.
     
    But things don’t turn out quite as expected. If Annie thought that standing atop the conference table and taking off all her clothes was the most embarrassing thing she could ever imagine, she sure has a lot to learn about how low Hugh will sink.
     
    As he proceeds to tempt nervous, naked Annie with even more money, she is subjected to demands that bring this modest, middle-aged woman to a degree of humiliation, degradation, and embarrassment she never could have imagined. Taking off her clothes in front of a roomful of men was the easy part! Posing in lewd positions, allowing a dozen male hands to have their way with her body…now that’s humiliation!
     
    Is Annie up for the challenge?
