Sinossi

In "The Heart of England," Edward Thomas weaves a rich tapestry of prose that captures the essence of the English landscape and its profound impact on the human spirit. This contemplative work merges memoir with poetry, employing vivid imagery and a lyrical style that invites readers to explore the interplay between nature and the psyche. As Thomas reflects on various locations, the book emerges not just as a geographical journey but as an exploration of identity and belonging, offering insights into the social and cultural context of early 20th-century England, a time marked by rapid change and introspection. Edward Thomas, a key figure in the early modernist movement, was a poet and essayist who often drew upon his deep love for nature and personal experiences in his writings. His own struggles with identity and purpose, amplified by the tumultuous backdrop of World War I, imbued his work with a sense of urgency and introspection. Thomas's life, marked by a passion for walking and observing the English countryside, inevitably shaped the heartfelt observations and philosophical musings that characterize this seminal work. I highly recommend "The Heart of England" to readers seeking to connect with nature and reflect on their own emotional landscapes. Thomas's evocative prose not only invites appreciation of the natural world but also encourages a deeper understanding of one's place within it, making this a timeless read for both lovers of literature and nature.

Nikole Knight

Foxxxy Rule #1: Never fall for a client.  
Christian Webber is femme, fabulous, and an absolute freaking mess. Although he loves his chaotic life, his cherished friends, and his job dancing and escorting at the exclusive Foxxxy Gentlemen’s Club, he’s also twenty-nine, single, and facing down the very real possibility of turning into a lonely, old cat lady. But an encounter with a client’s jaded son may change everything.  
Gordon van Dierman has his life figured out. He owns a business, a house, and a dog with his partner of seven years, but when he learns of his partner’s infidelity, the grumpy Dutchman abandons everything he’s built and returns to his childhood home in America to lick his wounds in peace. But a run-in with a feisty, genderfluid escort may be just what the doctor ordered.  
When Chrissy and Gordon’s lives collide, it’s hate at first sight to be sure, but the fire between them may be more than simple loathing. You know what they say: love and hate are horns on the same goat—or however that expression goes.  
Chrissy knows better than to fall for a client. But the rules don’t say anything about a client’s son, do they?
