Synopsis

Frances Hodgson Burnett's "Theo" presents a rich tapestry of human emotion and social commentary as it unravels the interconnected lives of its characters in late 19th-century England. Through her signature blend of detailed character development and atmospheric settings, Burnett captures the essence of familial bonds, societal expectations, and the perennial quest for love and acceptance. The novel stands out for its intricate psychological exploration, echoing the literary movements of realism and naturalism, which sought to expose the intricacies of everyday life in a rapidly modernizing world. Burnett, a prominent author in Victorian literature, drew from her own experiences of hardship and resilience while crafting "Theo." Her personal history as the daughter of a widowed mother and her own migration from England to America undoubtedly influenced the themes of isolation, empathy, and familial struggle that permeate the narrative. Alongside her celebrated works like "The Secret Garden," this novel reflects her keen insight into the complexities of human relationships and emotional landscapes. Readers are encouraged to delve into "Theo," as it not only entertains but also offers profound reflections on love, resilience, and the societal confines of its time. Burnett's elegant prose and poignant observations make this novel a compelling and thought-provoking read that resonates with both contemporary and classic themes.

    Royal Scoundrel is the prequel novella between Charles's dads. Even though it takes place twenty years before the Frat Wars books, it's best enjoyed last.

    Archibald Levine the third is a pain in my ass. Rich, cocky and the closest thing to a prince that our school has. 
    I hate everything about his entitled attitude and the stupid Kappa crown he wears. 
    I also hate the gigantic crush I have on the guy. 
    One night, backed up by the courage of tequila, my mouth gets away from me and I offer him the one thing he can't stop thinking about. 
    Me. 
    On my knees. 
    Because Archibald Levine also has a secret, and one kiss between us seals his fate. 
    The fling between us can never go anywhere, not with his powerful and homophobic father, but we don't let it stop us from indulging at every opportunity that we get. 
    I also don't let it stop me from falling stupidly in love with the guy. 
    He's always made it clear he can never come out and I know we're destined for destruction. 
    After all, happily ever after doesn't exist between a prince and a scoundrel.

    The challenge was supposed to be simple. Spill a drink on an airline passenger and be one square closer to winning the company's secret bingo card game. Twenty-five different challenges, at various levels of difficulty, had to be accomplished within a month's time. After nearly eight years of being a flight attendant, Alice Kaminski had spilled drinks on plenty of passengers, mostly on accident and during rough air. She didn't particularly like the idea of the bingo card, but she had massive student debt; the financial incentives were enough to make her momentarily forget the questionable ethics of it all. The challenge was supposed to be simple—that is, until Alice saw her intended target—the beautiful woman seated in 3B. And after that, nothing was simple ever again.

    He's a monster with sharp teeth, but I'm the snake he won't see coming.... 
    Tormented. Lethal. Dead inside.There is only one reason Miguel became the bodyguard of a cartel boss’ son. So that one day, he can take revenge and put a bullet between his father’s eyes. To do that, he needs to keep his secrets close and play a double game with the outrageous Nero Moreno. 
    And there has never been a more infuriating demon of a man than Nero. From his filed teeth and green hair to the gaudy gold necklaces and a diamond-studded AK-47, he is narco excess personified, and everything Miguel despises. The fact that Nero hits on Miguel every chance he gets is just another burden, because Miguel decided long ago that there is no room for love in his black heart. 
    Slutty. Deadly. Lives to spite the world. No one refuses Nero Moreno. When he sets his sights on a man, sooner or later, his mark surrenders. With the endless buffet of flesh available to him, he shouldn’t care about rejection, but every time his insanely hot bodyguard gives him the cold shoulder, Nero is more set on seduction. He can see a spark of interest behind the dead black eyes. What does Miguel hide under his tattooed skin and expressionless face? Why won’t he let Nero touch him? Is his heart really made of stone, or does it hold a soul gentler than Miguel would like to admit? Nero will not rest until he finds out. 
    When their goals collide, blood follows bullets, and it turns out nothing is as it seems. 
    Gritty, dark, and intense, Love Among Reptiles is a dark enemies-to-lovers M/M romance standalone novel set in the world of cartels. Prepare for heated arguments, slow burn pining, and scorching hot, emotional, explicit scenes.
