Everyone knows you don’t mess with a Kodiak bear! Everyone except Mandy, the wolf-pack Alpha’s sister. When Mandy hears whispers that Honey, a bear with a bad attitude, has chosen a mate, she takes matters into her own hands. Her wolf decided months ago that Honey was hers. If drugging, kidnapping, and making him live in a feral cage won’t work she plans to give Honey a little bad attitude of her own. The bear clan is ferocious, deadly, and their fighting skills coveted by other beastkind. With war knocking at the door, Honey has little time for games or courting. The best he can offer are a few grunts of acknowledgement to a young she-wolf who seems to be everywhere he looks. When he wakes up in a feral cage at the hands of that same exasperating she-wolf, all bets are off. If anyone thinks bears and wolves don’t mix, they’ve never seen Mandy on a mission. She refuses to give into the sexy he-bear when he tries to seduce her out of her tight little assets and himself out of the cage she locked him in. Two can play that game and in the end Honey will learn, they both need to win, or else. 7-Book series complete
Hi. My name is Mandy. I live in the quaint town of Glenn Lake. I was born to a young mother who struggled to raise me in an unforgiving world, and when she finally broke, I had to take over my care and learn to survive. Taking care of myself wasn’t all that hard. I found odd jobs and learned to cope, but then in my early teens, two innocent babies were added to the mix. While I instantly loved my siblings, my role changed from sister to mother, and my survival had to include them. But one night, push came to shove, literally, and I had had enough. That is when my once small World got a whole lot bigger, and I took complete control. This is my coming-of-age story, though many would argue I was born grown. And, hi, I’m Jimmy. I play a part in telling Mandy’s story as well. The once young and timid girl has grown into a woman who can handle anything life throws at her, and it does. I’m here to cheer her on and give her a hand when needed. Anything to make her life a little easier. She has worked too hard to get here. Join us in this first story from Glenn Lake.
An orphan finds a tiny, deserted cottage in the woods and works in secret to make it her own special home.
“A beautifully written and well-researched cultural criticism as well as an honest memoir” (Los Angeles Review of Books) from the author of the popular New York Times essay, “To Fall in Love with Anyone, Do This,” explores the romantic myths we create and explains how they limit our ability to achieve and sustain intimacy. What really makes love last? Does love ever work the way we say it does in movies and books and Facebook posts? Or does obsessing over those love stories hurt our real-life relationships? When her parents divorced after a twenty-eight year marriage and her own ten-year relationship ended, those were the questions that Mandy Len Catron wanted to answer. In a series of candid, vulnerable, and wise essays that takes a closer look at what it means to love someone, be loved, and how we present our love to the world, “Catron melds science and emotion beautifully into a thoughtful and thought-provoking meditation” (Bookpage). She delves back to 1944, when her grandparents met in a coal mining town in Appalachia, to her own dating life as a professor in Vancouver. She uses biologists’ research into dopamine triggers to ask whether the need to love is an innate human drive. She uses literary theory to show why we prefer certain kinds of love stories. She urges us to question the unwritten scripts we follow in relationships and looks into where those scripts come from. And she tells the story of how she decided to test an experiment that she’d read about—where the goal was to create intimacy between strangers using a list of thirty-six questions—and ended up in the surreal situation of having millions of people following her brand-new relationship. “Perfect fodder for the romantic and the cynic in all of us” (Booklist), How to Fall in Love with Anyone flips the script on love. “Clear-eyed and full of heart, it is mandatory reading for anyone coping with—or curious about—the challenges of contemporary courtship” (The Toronto Star).
