    Random House presents the audiobook edition of Blame It on Bianca Del Rio, written and read by Bianca Del Rio. Not today, Satan. The cheeky, larger-than-life drag queen and outrageous comic - 'The Joan Rivers of the Drag World' (New York Times) - who isn't afraid to shock or offend, shares her trademark acerbic wit and sharp commentary in this uproarious collection of advice. When it comes to insult comics, Bianca Del Rio is in a class by herself. Fierce, funny, and fabulous - a would-be love child sired by John Waters and birthed by Joan Rivers - Bianca sandblasted her name in the annals of pop culture on RuPaul's Drag Race. Thanks to her snarky frankness, impeccable comedic timing, and politically incorrect humour, she became the show's breakout star, winning its sixth season. In Blame It on Bianca Del Rio, Bianca shares her opinions loudly and proudly, offering raucous, hilarious, no-holds-barred commentary on the everyday annoyances, big and small, that color her world, and make it a living, albeit amusing, hell for anyone who inhabits it. A collection of biting advice, Blame It on Bianca Del Rio will shock you and keep you laughing. But be warned: it is not for the faint of heart! ungekürzt. Language: English.

Now she finds herself training a sorcerer from 12th century Ireland, a witch from modern day New York, a scholar, and a shape changer from the mythical land of Geall, while trying to keep herself from staking the sixth of their circle and host: a vampire sired by Lilith, the vampire queen they've been charged with defeating on Samhain. No stranger to butt-kicking, Blair finds herself taking a good whipping when it comes to that handsome and flirtatious Geallian, Larkin. And a couple of run-ins with Lilith's right-hand gal gives Blair more than she reckoned for, mentally and physically. But will she be able to stay afloat long enough to defeat Lilith's loyal in pre-battle bouts? Or will she find herself falling for the one thing she vowed never to give in to again? If the vampires don't do her in, Larkin is certainly up to the task. Language: English. Narrator: Dick Hill. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/brll/007944/bk_brll_007944_sample.mp3.

    Choose one of the two men, or take the return ticket and head home. It wasn't much of a choice. Celia had worked and studied so hard to have a school of her own. And she had known that they might be a little upset. She knew exactly what they had wanted. It was stated very clearly in the advertisement and she could probably read and write better than anyone one of them. Jackson sure never planned to marry, and how could he when his name would be a disgrace to his bride? So why had he fought so hard to keep her from marrying the other man? He could have shrugged it off and gotten out of there, but he just couldn't do it. The new school teacher needed someone who would stay on her tail and teach her a lesson or else she'd run right into danger. But he'd have to be honest with her and tell her about that no-good scoundrel who had sired him. She at least had a right to know he was illegitimate - that the man who fathered him had left his mother alone to fend for herself. Then if Celia could handle that, well, they could work the rest out. Besides, there weren't any other good choices and she simply couldn't be without a husband. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    In 1720, it's a pirate's life for Abigail Clear, daughter of a notorious colonial pirate captain. When a rival crew invades Abigail's ship, she is taken prisoner. Now, aboard the enemy vessel, she must contend with its formidable captain. But who is the real captive? Locked away in the belly of The Indomitable is no place for a woman. Captain James Morrow is more than displeased to discover his sole captive to be none other than an untamable young lass who will earn him no bounty. Yet, if he can soften the little rogue, she just might switch her loyalties to him and reveal the whereabouts of the infamous thief who sired her...and his stolen treasure. But two can play that game, as Abi is equally inclined to charm the dogged sailor off her father's tail. Might she and Captain Morrow run the risk of falling for their own charades? They dance about their disguises as genuine developing emotions clash against deeper motives and suspicion runs high. When the captain finally steals a first kiss, Abi decides it's high time to make her escape - fleeing not only his vessel but her fondness for the man who intends to see her father hang. The high seas heat up as Captain Morrow's quest to recapture Abi is halted by her pirate father, Captain Clear. Will James succeed in pursuit of his captive love, or will his desires conspire to make him a captive himself? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Anneliese Rennie.

    She had my chain in her hand and she kissed me. I thought that I was immune to those kinds of womanly charms, but apparently I was just waiting for the right woman to come around to grab me by the throat. I felt the robe open up and she took a step back to admire my body from afar. She still held my hand and she spun me around for her amusement. Adrian had said his piece and was now more than content to watch this display of Sapphic love. It wasn't necessarily love. This was just a physical need that was burning up inside me to taste her wolf and the woman that it was attached to. She took me by the hand and I went with her willingly, glancing over my shoulder to see that Adrian was smiling and following along. I could tell that he was aroused and that was pretty damn evident from his pulsing manhood. He couldn't lie to me or August. He liked the idea of a three-way dance. We went up the stairs and it didn't look like she was going to take no for an answer. That was the one thing that she probably had in common with Dexter. It was too bad that she was not one that sired me. If she did, I probably would have gladly submitted to her will and be damn happy about it. Warning - This book contains steamy romance scenes and is not suitable for all ages. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Leigh DeSalles.

    To us humans, the sex lives of many animals seem weird. In fact, by comparison with all the other animals, we are the ones with the weird sex lives. How did that come to be?Just count our bizarre ways. We are the only social species to insist on carrying out sex privately. Stranger yet, we have sex at any time, even when the female can't be fertilized (for example, because she is already pregnant, post-menopausal, or between fertile cycles). A human female doesn't know her precise time of fertility and certainly doesn't advertise it to human males by the striking color changes, smells, and sounds used by other female mammals. Why do we differ so radically in these and other important aspects of our sexuality from our closest ancestor, the apes? Why does the human female, virtually alone among mammals go through menopause? Why does the human male stand out as one of the few mammals to stay (often or usually) with the female he impregnates, to help raise the children that he sired? Why is the human penis so unnecessarily large? There is no one better qualified than Jared Diamond - renowned expert in the fields of physiology and evolutionary biology and award-winning author - to explain the evolutionary forces that operated on our ancestors to make us sexually different. With wit and a wealth of fascinating examples, he explains how our sexuality has been as crucial as our large brains and upright posture in our rise to human status. ungekürzt. Language: English.
