To punish him, she gives him a taste of his own medicine by swapping bodies with him and sending Azlato to his pleasure tents in her body.   Now, Azlato is seeing the world from a whole new perspective.

    Travis King is the worst kind of a**hole. He taunts me for being a good girl and mocks my high standards. He's cruel, crass, and has enough confidence to last two lifetimes. And I hate him. It wouldn't matter so much if he were avoidable. But considering he's my older brother's best friend and roommate, I see him more than I'd ever want to. His sculpted abs and gorgeous eyes are wasted on such an arrogant man, which makes me hate him even more. Even though I've had a crush on him since I was 10, the feelings weren't mutual and he's made that very clear. He's always loved getting under my skin, and one night against my better judgment, I let him in my bed. I've succumbed to his manw**re ways, but that doesn't change a thing. Because the King is about to get played at his own game - and lose. Checkmate. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lia Langola.

    Killing Wealth, Freeing Wealth is a book about a nation that has divided into two camps with two very different scripts for our American future - and neither script works. It's about a system that rewards cleverness and lies and mocks our traditional work ethic - setting up a terrible fall. Killing Wealth, Freeing Wealth probes Bush's reckless torching and Obama's controlled burn of the great American entrepreneurial dream - then offers a plan that's flame-retardant. It speaks to the self-made millionaires next door who don't think of themselves as millionaires, though they are. Or rather, were, until a billionaire financial complex spanning several presidential administrations set out in conscious conspiracy to kill individual initiative in a wicked wealth grab. We've had enough wealth killing; it's time for wealth freeing. It's time to take up arms and, like the Minutemen in the woods along the road to Lexington, pick off these new enemies of freedom and genuinely free enterprise. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The struggle between the main political parties has been reduced to an unpopularity contest, in which voters hold their noses and sigh as they trudge to the polls. Peter Hitchens explains how and why British politics has sunk to this dreary level - the takeover of the parties and the media by conventional left-wing dogmas which then call themselves 'the centre ground'. The Tory party under David Cameron has become a pale-blue twin of New Labour, offering change without alteration. Hitchens, a former Lobby reporter, examines and mocks the flock mentality of most Westminster journalists, explains how unattributable lunches guide coverage and why so many reporters - once slavish admirers of Labour - now follow the Tory line. This updated edition of Hitchens' The Broken Compass (2009) features a brand new introduction. In an excoriating analysis, Hitchens examines the Tory Party's record in government and opposition, dismissing it as a failure on all fronts but one - the ability to win office without principle. The one thing it certainly isn't is conservative. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Hitchens. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/018634/bk_adbl_018634_sample.mp3.
