The audio version is read by Jim Frangione, who also narrated Dark Lover, the first book in the series. You'll see what I mean when you read it.I read this book and listened to the audio version. There were a couple of scenes that had me cringing. Rhage and Mary made a great couple although Rhage's curse made things get a little weird between them at times. The romance storylines are the reason why I read the books in this series. Once again, I didn't really care much for this part. Mary has been made tough by hardship and finds it hard to believe anyone could love her, especially a vampire who looks like a movie star.As in the previous book, the Black Dagger Brotherhood is fighting the lessers - evil, undead creatures who want to wipe out the vampire race. That changes when he meets Mary Luce, a human woman who is unwittingly brought into the vampire world. Rhage has always been a player, in part because of the curse the Scribe Virgin placed upon him. Each book in the series focuses on one of the brothers and his love interest. Lover Eternal is the second book in JR Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This paperback edition includes an introduction by Carl Gottlieb, an introduction by Peter Benchley, and 36 black and white photos.

One underlying structure of this book is to take the reader on a journey that follows "the many gambles, strange turns, and unlikely incidents in Caesar's career." Few fictional heroes have ever done as much as Caius Julius Caesar." Within that framework, during his fifty-six year lifetime, he fulfilled many roles: "including a fugitive, prisoner, rising politician, army leader, legal advocate, rebel, dictator – perhaps even a god – as well as a husband, father, lover and adulterer.

Trump is depicted as being held in low regard by his White House staff, leading Wolff to claim that "100% of the people around him" believe Trump is unfit for office. The book highlights descriptions of Trump's behavior, chaotic interactions among senior White House staff, and derogatory comments about the Trump family by former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon. ![]() Reviewers generally accepted Wolff's portrait of a dysfunctional Trump administration, but were skeptical of many of Wolff's particular claims. The book became a New York Times number one bestseller. The title refers to a quote by Trump about the conflict with North Korea. ![]() President Donald Trump, the staff of his 2016 presidential campaign, and the White House staff.

After stowing the shoes in his parents’ Portland, Oregon, basement, under and around the ping pong table (leaving room on top for his mother to fold laundry), Knight began driving to high-school track meets and selling his Tigers from the trunk of his Plymouth Valiant. “How long do you think you’re going to keep jackassing around with these shoes?” That’s what Phil Knight’s father said in 1964, when his 26-year-old son asked for money to help pay for $1,000 worth of Tiger running shoes, manufactured by a Japanese company that improbably had agreed to make Knight its West Coast distributor (it helped that Knight’s partner in the venture was legendary University of Oregon track coach Bill Bowerman, whose wife had written Knight a check for $500 from her Christmas fund). ![]() ![]() ![]() This shows how Dante isn’t yet ready for direct knowledge of God, though Dante still tenaciously seeks God through indirect knowledge. By showing Dante’s lessening need to look to Beatrice and his growing ability to endure the sight of God directly, Dante suggests that the more determinedly a person seeks God, the more a person will be able to see and understand God, though never exhaustively.Īt first, Dante cannot look directly toward the heavens for long, though he wants to instead, he redirects his gaze to Beatrice’s lesser yet still dazzling beauty. By the end of the cantica, Dante is strong enough to look briefly upon the beauty of God himself, no longer needing to look instead at Beatrice. Significantly, as he journeys through Heaven, Dante’s desire to look at Beatrice gradually lessens as his strength to endure her beauty strengthens. ![]() But that Dante continually gazes at his beloved Beatrice anyway shows that love keeps him pressing forward. ![]() His overwhelm and loss of sight in the face of her beauty-symbolically, the beauty of divine revelation, or indirect knowledge of God-suggests that his own knowledge of God is weak and easily overwhelmed. Sometimes, just looking at the beautiful Beatrice overpowers and temporarily blinds Dante. As he journeys through Heaven, Dante frequently gazes at his beloved Beatrice, who throughout The Divine Comedy has symbolized divine revelation. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I think Anne Fine told the story in just the right way to make it seem real.
