Irrepressible Jasmine: Wild Crush #2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 515min, (USK 18)

You can't keep a bad girl down...at least not without restraints. After an affair with a dom turns sour, Jasmine Campbell returns to Leyton's Headland to build up some good karma by keeping her sister's business afloat. For that, she needs help from real estate developer Aaron Sanderson - an old schoolmate who's grown up to be movie-star handsome. When Jasmine knocks on his office door, Aaron can barely contain his triumph. In high school he had an unrequited crush on Jasmine, but 10 years on he's better at close encounters with the opposite sex. He thinks he knows just how to handle Jasmine - with an aloof demeanor and a firm hand. Little does he know just how firm a hand Jasmine needs. Jasmine figures a fun vanilla fling will cleanse her sexual palate. Yet her lover proves himself surprisingly adept at satisfying her submissive desires. And soon she's in serious danger of doing the one thing she swore never to do: fall in love. Warning: Contains casual sex, intimate sex, slow sex, fast sex, rough sex, roleplay sex, and spanking. So basically, lots of sex and spanking. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alicyn Aimes. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/inbl/000099/bk_inbl_000099_sample.mp3.

The Pomegranate Lady and Her Sons: Selected Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 576min

“Filled with passion, curiosity, empathy, as well as mischief - definitely mischief.” - Azar NafisiRich in characters both whimsical and deeply poignant, humorous and real, the stories of Goli Taraghi have made her one of the world’s most beloved contemporary writers from Iran. A best-selling author in her native country and widely anthologized in the United States and around the world, Taraghi's work is now made fully accessible to an English-speaking audience in this standout and long-awaited volume of selected stories.Drawing on childhood experiences in Tehran during the reign of the Shah, her exile in Paris, and her subsequent visits to Tehran after the revolution, Taraghi develops characters and tales that linger in one’s mind. In the title story, a woman traveling from Tehran to Paris is obliged to help an old woman - the Pomegranate Lady - find her way to her fugitive sons in Sweden. In "The Gentleman Thief," a new kind of polite, apologetic thief emerges from the wreckage of the revolution. In "Encounter," a woman's world is upended when her former maid becomes her jailer. And in "The Flowers of Shiraz," a group of teenagers finally manages to coax a shy schoolmate out of her shell - only to once again encounter tragedy.Reminiscent of the work of Nadine Gordimer and Eudora Welty, Taraghi's stories capture universal experiences of love, loss, alienation, and belonging - all with an irresistible sense of life’s absurdities. ungekürzt.

Yubin is supposed to be thankful for that, but she isn't. She doesn't even like the girls she performs with. She's more connected to her former schoolmate Jieun, even though all they ever do is text. Over the last two months, Jieun has become her confidant and best friend, connecting Yubin to the real world in a way she desperately needs. Now that SIITY is going to appear on the reality show Incredible Race: Asia, Yubin will need that connection more than ever, which is why she's devastated to discover Jieun has been dead five years and is actually haunting her. If that weren't enough, Yubin's not the only SIITY member with issues. Rena's father is emotionally abusive. Somi has a learning disability, and after a near death experience, Tae-eun becomes a nine-tailed fox woman.

We'll Meet Again, Hörbuch, Digital, 291min

At the heart of Mary Higgins Clark's stunning new novel of suspense is a brutal murder: that of Gary Lasch, a respected and successful young Greenwich, Connecticut, doctor and hospital and HMO head. He was found dead at his desk at home, his skull crushed by a blow with a Remington bronze sculpture, a prized piece from his art collection. The news strikes Greenwich society like a thunderbolt - as does the news that Molly Carpenter Lasch, the beautiful young wife of the slain doctor, has been arrested for her husband's murder. According to the trial testimony of her housekeeper, Molly had left home in a rage against her husband to go up to their house on Cape Cod. The morning after Molly's return, the housekeeper found Gary dead in his study and Molly upstairs in bed covered with blood. Nobody believes Molly's claim to have no memory of the events of the night of the crime - not her parents, not her friends, not even her own lawyer - and evidence against her is overwhelming. To escape an inevitable conviction she accepts a plea bargain, and subsequently her lawyer wins her early parole. A few years later, on Molly's release from prison, she reasserts her innocence in front of TV cameras and reporters gathered at the prison gate. Among them is an old acquaintance and schoolmate, Fran Simmons, currently working as an investigative reporter for the True Crime television series. Determined to prove her innocence, Molly convinces Fran to research and present a program on Gary's death. Language: English. Narrator: Jan Maxwell.

The Nazi, the Princess, and the Shoemaker , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 654min

Have you ever heard of a Jew who saved a Nazi's life? Who evaded capture by pretending to be a Polish peasant, a communist spy, a partisan, and a rabbi? Who spent months starving in the woods, sleeping in haystacks in the freezing cold, only to finish off the war in a luxurious palace as the guest of a Polish princess? Over 30 years in the making, this unique and extraordinary account was recreated from cassette tapes which were recorded in the early 1980s and later found in the bottom of a closet as well as videotaped interviews by Steven Spielberg’s Shoah Foundation.The book describes Binem's childhood in the rural Polish village of Radziejow and details how his family and community were devastated by the trauma of the Nazi invasion and unimaginably cruel occupation of Poland. At the age of 24, Binem escapes a German forced labor camp and struggles to survive the harsh Polish winter by sleeping in haystacks during the day and begging food from peasant farmers at night. Through a chance encounter with a former schoolmate, Binem is taken in by the Osten-Sackens, an aristocratic Polish woman (the “princess”) and her ethnic German husband, who Binem later learns is a secret Gestapo agent. When Germany begins to lose the war, their son, an SS officer (the “Nazi”), forces Binem to vow to protect his parents from inevitable attempts at retribution. Binem makes good on his promise (three times!), saving the Osten-Sackens twice from Russian soldiers and later by testifying on his behalf in a Polish court. The book describes Binem’s holocaust experience in harrowing detail, from its lows, including a suicide attempt in the Jewish graveyard where his parents were buried, to its highs, such as finishing off the war as an honored guest at the Osten-Sacken mansion and his celebratory speech to the Russian Jewish officers who liberated him. ungekürzt.

Seven more cases solved by Sherlock Holmes: Silver Blaze: Dr. Watson's introduction to the Holmes case among the Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes called "The Adventure of Silver Blaze" is succinct and impossible to improve upon: "There was but one problem before the public which could challenge his powers of analysis, and that was the singular disappearance of the favourite for the Wessex Cup, and the tragic murder of its trainer."

In it, Holmes must decipher the ancient Musgrave Ritual to solve the mysterious disappearance of schoolmate Reginald Musgrave's butler and maid, after Musgrave terminates the butler for secretly reading the text of the ceremony.
