    Fireball (Bridges and Bitters, #1) (eBook, ePUB)
    He hates her for some reason. She will not rest until she changes his mind. What kind of jerk turns down a huge donation? Samantha Vine may have been caught off guard when she accidentally insulted AJ Trachtenberg, but she's a CEO of a tech startup. He should feel grateful she offered his students a swanky field trip, right? Besides, most people love her. She's always wooing investors and community partners. So why does this grouchy science teacher act like she's the enemy? AJ is tall, dark, and unforgivably handsome and he's got a giant chip on his shoulder. Well, Sam's got news for him: she doesn't accept defeat. Not with the media trying to paint her in a bad light, and not from grumpy grouches in sweater vests. Honestly, his smoldering is distracting. She can't afford any distractions right now with everything going on at work. Except maybe a one-time naked distraction. That doesn't have to mean anything, right? She's not looking for a happily-ever-after here. She's just trying to take this company public and win over the press. She probably should have listened to her friends and just apologized to AJ and moved on with her life. But now she can't get him out of her head… Fireball is the first stand-alone installment of the Bridges and Bitters series. If you love found family, hilarious antics, and off-the-charts heat, you'll devour these sexy romantic comedies.

    Tara Sivec delivers another amazing book with The Simple Life! This is romcom at its finest! (FMR Book Grind)Brooklyn Manning thought her life was perfect in every way, until it crumbled down around her and turned into a dumpster fire. With her pride wounded and her tail tucked between her legs, she leaves New York and goes back to her tiny hometown of White Timber, Montana.   No more 24-hour taco trucks, no more shopping at the best designer stores within walking distance, no more giving taxi drivers the finger when they angrily honk at her. She didn’t think it could get any worse. But then Clint Hastings walked into the room and insulted her.   Her arch nemesis from high school is no longer a nerdy computer whiz, masturbating to pictures in PC World magazine in his free time (allegedly). He’s grown up to be a hot-as-hell cowboy, and she has no other choice but to be a smart ass right back to him. After all, it’s what they do. It’s what they’ve always done, and 12 years apart hasn’t changed anything.   Only this time, getting under each other’s skin is a hell of a lot more fun than it used to be. ungekürzt.

    And Another Thing...: Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Part Six of Three , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 621min
    And Another Thing...will be the sixth novel in the now improbably named Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy An Englishman's continuing search through space and time for a decent cup of tea . . . Arthur Dent's accidental association with that wholly remarkable book The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has not been entirely without incident. Arthur has travelled the length, breadth and depth of known, and unknown, space. He has stumbled forwards and backwards through time. He has been blown up, reassembled, cruelly imprisoned, horribly released and colourfully insulted more than is strictly necessary. And, of course, he has comprehensively failed to grasp the meaning of life, the universe and everything. Arthur has, though, finally made it home to Earth. But that does not mean he has escaped his fate. For Arthur's chances of getting his hands on a decent cuppa are evaporating along with the world's oceans. Because no sooner has he arrived than he finds out that Earth is about to be blown up...again. And Another Thing...by Eoin Colfer is the rather unexpected, but very welcome, sixth instalment of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy. It features a pantheon of unemployed gods, everyone's favourite renegade Galactic President, a lovestruck green alien, an irritating computer and at least one very large slab of cheese. ungekürzt.

    Everything That Rises Must Converge , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 546min
    This collection of nine short stories by Flannery O'Connor was published posthumously in 1965. The flawed characters of each story are fully revealed in apocalyptic moments of conflict and violence that are presented with comic detachment. The title story is a tragicomedy about social pride, racial bigotry, generational conflict, false liberalism, and filial dependence. The protagonist, Julian Chestny, is hypocritically disdainful of his mother's prejudices, but his smug selfishness is replaced with childish fear when she suffers a fatal stroke after being struck by a black woman she has insulted out of oblivious ignorance rather than malice. Similarly, “The Comforts of Home” is about an intellectual son with an Oedipus complex. Driven by the voice of his dead father, the son accidentally kills his sentimental mother in an attempt to murder a harlot. The other stories are “A View of the Woods”, “Parker's Back”, “The Enduring Chill”, “Greenleaf”, “The Lame Shall Enter First”, “Revelation”, and “Judgment Day”. Flannery O'Connor was working on Everything That Rises Must Converge at the time of her death. This collection is an exquisite legacy from a genius of the American short story, in which she scrutinizes territory familiar to her readers: race, faith, and morality. The stories encompass the comic and the tragic, the beautiful and the grotesque; each carries her highly individual stamp and could have been written by no one else. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    President Darcy: A Modern Pride and Prejudice Variation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 677min
    A modern adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.President William Darcy has it all: wealth, intelligence, and the most powerful job in the country. Despite what his friends say, he is not lonely in the White House. He’s not. And he has vowed not to date while he’s in office. Nor is he interested in Elizabeth Bennet. She might be pretty and funny and smart, but her family is nouveau riche and unbearable. Unfortunately, he encounters her everywhere in Washington, DC - making her harder and harder to ignore. Why can’t he get her out of his mind? Elizabeth Bennet enjoys her job with the Red Cross and loves her family, despite their tendency to embarrass her. At a White House state dinner, they cause her to make an unfavorable impression on the president, who labels her unattractive and uninteresting. Those words are immediately broadcast on Twitter, so the whole world now knows the president insulted her. Elizabeth just wants to avoid the man - who, let’s admit it, is proud and difficult. For some reason, he acts all friendly when they keep running into each other, but she knows he’s judging her. Eventually, circumstances force Darcy and Elizabeth to confront their true feelings for each other, with explosive results. But even if they can find common ground, Mr. Darcy is still the president - with limited privacy and unlimited responsibilities - and his enemies won’t hesitate to use his feelings for Elizabeth against him. Can President Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet find their way to happily ever after? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lucy Emerson.
