I adored it, will listen to it often, and am only sad that I have to wait months for volume two in this new series. Chase is an auto buy for me, I've had this on pre-order for months and listened to it immediately. There are also two other dukes who figure large here and I suppose will get their own stories soon, but not soon enough for me! If you like historical romance, if you like sexy romance, if you like funny romance, this is up your alley. There's a very smart woman, a duke who is more than a bit reckless, a large dog, a duel, an aunt with a sharp tongue and a sharper eye, and laughs galore. Rock on, Ladies! This is yet another smart, funny, sexy-as-hell romance from Chase, at least as good as everything else she's ever written, if not better. Chase's words and Reading's voice equal perfection in my opinion. Together they create a listening experience that defies gravity. I've said it before.Chase and Reading together have a special alchemy that borders on the magical. ![]() Reading's incredible performance elevates this delightful tale to the platinum standard, as usual.

The Little Miss collection of childrens books are full of fun characters and s. There's nothing radically new in terms of storytelling or character development, but the film nonetheless succeeds, thanks in part to its excellent cast (husband-and-wife directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris lucked out, casting Carell just before he hit it really big with The 40-Year-Old Virgin). But somehow LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE manages to combine the two into something fresh, engaging, and often hilarious - with a dash of "aw shucks" poignancy to boot. DESCRIPTION : The bestselling childrens books series for over 50 years No one could be happier than Little Miss Sunshine but can she change the way things. It's true that the family road trip comedy isn't exactly a new genre nor are quirky indie movies about dysfunctional families all that hard to come by.

But it works for computers, probably iPad-type devices, and just hanging onto. It's quite large at 8MB and doesn't display nearly as well on e-Readers as the others.

In fact, I expanded my original project and made versions both for the Nook (EPUB) and for the Kindle (MOBI). So, after several months of working on the project when I could-snatching minutes and hours between work, grad school, and making Cthulhus-I am very proud to announce that I have finished an eBook of The Complete Works of H.P.
