bringing his guest and now fiancée, Lucille Bikini. Nick s sister,
Paloma Delatorre Hopkins, hosted the private affair at her and her
husband, Robert s, Victorian-style home on historic Church Street
with immediate family and close friends in attendance. Paloma
and Nick s mother had long since reconciled their differences since

Special of the Day
her own wedding a few years before, and she and his Pop arrived
from Florida.
However, once news leaked of the impending nuptials, camera
crews and reporters from every major television network were
dispatched to the scene. Crowds mobbed the street on their
wedding day. Two crazed fans crashed the garden wedding in mid-
ceremony and proclaimed their undying love for Sunny, a.k.a.
Athena Wexford Carrington from The Rich and the Ruthless.
As he and Sunny exchanged vows and rings, Nick s heart swelled
with love for his beautiful bride.
Later that night in the sanctuary of their candlelit honeymoon
suite at the Galvez Hotel, he and Sunny reclaimed the missing
years with tender caresses long into the night and whispered
promises of a bright future together filled with love, laughter and,
of course, a dozen little Delatorres.

The Mosquito Tapes by Chris Homes - Nobody tells a bio-terror story better
than Chris Holmes. Just nobody. And like all of Chris Holmes books, this one
begins well when San Diego County Chief Medical Examiner Jack Youngblood
discovers a strange mosquito in the pocket of a murder victim. Taut, tingly, and
downright scary, The Mosquito Tapes will keep you reading well into the night.
But best be wary: Spray yourself with Deet and have a fly swatter nearby.

In Fate of Camelot, Cynthia Breeding develops the Arthur-Lancelot-
Gwenhwyfar relationship. In many Arthurian tales, Guinevere is a rather flat
225
character. Cynthia Breeding gives her a depth of character as the reader sees both
her love for Lancelot and her devotion to the realm as its queen. The reader feels
the pull she experiences between both men. In addition, the reader feels more of
the deep friendship between Arthur and Lancelot seen in Malory's Arthurian
tales. In this area, Cynthia Breeding is more faithful to the medieval Arthurian
tradition than a glamorized Hollywood version. She does not gloss over the
difficulties of Gwenhwyfar's role as queen and as woman, but rather develops
them to give the reader a vision of a woman who lives her role as queen and lover
with all that she is.

Rape of the Soul - Ms. Thompson's characters are unforgettable. Deep,

corner was something that you didn't know was going to happen. If you love a
sense of history in a book, then I suggest reading this book! [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
