Forbidden Obsessions: Bondage and Breakfast, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 382min, (USK 18)
Bondage & Breakfast was a safe place for couples to explore BDSM - until an arsonist almost destroyed it. While the inn is closed for repairs, owner Gabe McConnell allows injured firefighter Olivia Watterson to stay and recover as a favor to a mutual friend. His attraction to her is unexpected and intense - but there's no way she's strong enough for the type of play he demands from a sub. When she arrives at the inn, Liv is shocked - and intrigued. Her unanticipated obsession with the sexy, skilled Dom makes her all the more impatient with her slow recuperation. Even more frustrating is the way Gabe handles her like fragile glass, and she's determined to prove she's anything but by pushing her body to the limit. Holding back should be easy for Gabe, but the more Liv challenges his limits, the more he craves her, body, mind and heart… This is book four of the Bondage & Breakfast Series. ungekürzt.

Real Men Wear Beige: One Man's Jailhouse Journey Through the Chaotic Realm of Concrete and Steel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 328min
Real Men Wear Beige is a fascinating look at a journey through the US criminal justice system that's truly unique in its perspective and delivery. Like most people, before author Donato Alfredano gets caught up in the system, he's hardly given the issue of prison a thought. But his unanticipated arrest at JFK Airport on a charge of official misconduct was a reality check that would forever change his views on incarceration, and on a larger scale, life. Donato's deeply expressive story chronicles his passage through the New York criminal justice system and on to a brief stint at the infamous Rikers Island, then to his local county jail to await his sentencing hearing, eventually landing in state prison on a five-year sentence. One thing that stands out in this provocative narrative is the surprising diversity of personalities and experiences, which makes this book an invaluable resource for those interested in gaining a fuller view of the incarceration picture. ungekürzt.

From a celebrated figure of the food world comes a poignant, provocative memoir about being young and gay during the 1970s punk revolution in America.Long before James Oseland was a judge on Top Chef Masters, he was a teenage rebel growing up in the pre-Silicon Valley, California, suburbs, yearning for a taste of something wild. Diving headfirst into the churning mayhem of the punk movement, he renamed himself Jimmy Neurosis and embarked on a journey into a vibrant underground world populated by visionary musicians and artists. In a quest that led him from the mosh pits of San Francisco to the pop world of Andy Warhol’s Manhattan, he learned firsthand about friendship of all stripes and what comes of testing the limits - both the joyous glories and the unanticipated, dangerous consequences. With humor and verve, Oseland brings to life the effervescent cocktail of music, art, drugs, and sexual adventure that characterized the end of the '70s. Through his account of how discovering his own creativity saved his life, he tells a thrilling and uniquely American coming-of-age story. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: James Oseland.
