But since I was almost burned not reading a second book in a series (that I loved) because I didn’t fall insanely in love with book one, I decided to read it. So I will admit I was a little nervous to read the second book, Hard Hitter. I’m not going to lie, I wasn’t in love with the first book in the Brooklyn Bruisers series, Rookie Move. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. ![]() ![]() Ari is determined to help O'Doul heal, but as the tension between them turns red hot, they both learn that a little TLC does the body good. O'Doul is easy on the eyes, but his reaction to her touch is ice cold. For now, she’s decided to focus on her work: rehabilitating the Bruisers’ MVP. He conceals his pain from his coach and trainers, but when his chronic hip injury becomes too obvious to ignore, they send him for sessions with the team’s massage therapist.Īfter breaking up with her long-term boyfriend, Ari Bettini is in need of peace of mind. But after years of hard hits, O'Doul is feeling the burn, both physically and mentally. He’s a fighter in the rink, but he’s about to learn that playing nice can help you score.Īs team captain and enforcer, Patrick O'Doul puts the bruise in the Brooklyn Bruisers. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Aleta is struggling to hold life together for herself and for her six-year old son Andrew. As he is preparing for the auction, he meets Aleta Prescott, who has been hired by the Society as a cook. When ordered to assist with a local Ladies Aid Society Christmas Auction, Jake respectfully objects, but orders are orders. As he waits to learn his fate, he observes and captures the bruising realities of war around him in his sketchbook and his journal, which become a lifeline for him. His injuries may or may not result in blindness, which for Jake, would mean losing not just his greatest skill but his identity. Jake Winston, a revered Confederate sharpshooter, has suffered a head wound at the Battle of Chickamauga. Amid the shadow of war, the fading dream of the Confederacy, and the faith of a child, a former soldier and a destitute woman discover the true meaning of Christmas and a most unanticipated friendship-and love. ![]() ![]() ![]() Reséndez builds the incisive, original case that it was mass slavery - more than epidemics - that decimated Indian populations across North America. There was no abolitionist movement to protect the tens of thousands of Natives who were kidnapped and enslaved by the conquistadors, then forced to descend into the “mouth of hell” of eighteenth-century silver mines or, later, made to serve as domestics for Mormon settlers and rich Anglos. Yet, as Andrés Reséndez illuminates in his myth-shattering, The Other Slavery, it was practiced for centuries as an open secret. Since the time of Columbus, Indian slavery was illegal in much of the American continent. Anywhere between 2.5 and 5 million Native Americans were enslaved by other Native Americans, Spaniards, Mexicans, and Americans in the centuries between Columbus and the beginning of the 20th century. The Other Slavery tells about a system of bondage that targeted Native Americans, a system that was every bit as terrible, degrading, and vast as African slavery and yet most Americans are not aware of it. ![]() ![]() Professor, Department of History, UC Davis PhD University of Chicago '97, BA el Colegio de México '92 The Uncovered Story of Indian Enslavement in America ![]() ![]() ![]() Howards End has been called a parable indeed, its symbolism reaches almost mythic proportions at various points in the novel. His humanistic values and interest in personal relationships inform all of his novels, and are revealed in the major themes of Howards End: connection between the inner and outer life and between people, the future of England, and class conflicts. ![]() As a member of the upper-middle class, Forster had keen insight into its attitudes and social mores, which he expertly rendered in Howards End. Like all of Forster's early novels, Howards End concerns itself with Edwardian society. But fourteen years would elapse before the publication of A Passage to India, which would also be the last novel published during his lifetime Forster's novels are all considered classics, with Howards End and A Passage to India regarded as his best works. Forster had arrived as an important author, and the public and critics eagerly anticipated his next novel. When Howards End was published in 1910, critics generally agreed it surpassed E. ![]() ![]() ![]() Instead, she finds herself sleeping by herself, ignored by Johannes and dismissed by his brusque sister, Marin, who rules the house and influences the business, too. Hastily married to a wealthy older merchant, Johannes Brandt, after her father’s death left her provincial family struggling, Nella arrives alone in Amsterdam, readying herself for her unknown husband’s demands. It comes from the peculiarly knowledgeable artisan who is creating miniature objects for a dollhouse-sized version of her new home, which Nella received as a wedding gift. “Every woman is the architect of her own fortune,” reads 18-year-old Nella Oortman in a message that will gather meaning like a rolling stone as this novel progresses. ![]() ![]() A talented new writer of historical fiction evokes 17th-century Amsterdam, the opulent but dangerous Dutch capital, where an innocent young wife must navigate the intrigues of her new household. ![]() ![]() ![]() Spooner ( Hunted, 2017, etc.) grounds Marian’s adventures with rich historical details and offers a flawed, fervent heroine whose revolutionary desires and short-term schemes encounter brutal medieval realities like war, death, taxes, and the inherent chauvinism of chivalry. Secondary character Guy of Gisborne-black-clad, scarred, seemingly sinister and servile-surpasses his traditional toady role and evolves to become a suitable foil to feisty Marian. The requisite (albeit not-so-) Merry Men, daring heists, and archery contest follow, all retold with feminist and egalitarian undercurrents. ![]() Haunted/guided by Robin-or an idealized version of him-Marian uses her noble station, tall stature, and unparalleled archery skills to become Robin Hood. But when Robin falls to stock-character Saracens in the Crusades, Marian is nevertheless devastated and wonders how to protect Robin’s people, Locksley villagers and outlaws alike. Long betrothed to Robin of Locksley, Marian relishes freedom more than future romance, prizing horseback riding, archery, and Sherwood Forest over feminine, domestic pursuits. Young Lady Marian of Edwinstowe is not a typical damsel in distress. ![]() ![]() A new hero dons the iconic green cloak in this retelling of Robin Hood’s tale. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Hatchling often lumbers rather than soars. A Time for Courage: The Suffragette Diary of Kathleen Bowen, Washington, D.C., 1917 by Kathryn Lasky Book 27 of the Dear America Series As the fight for womens suffrage heats up, Kathleen'Kat' Bowen gets to participate. While Lasky has combined fascinating details of how real owls live with her imaginary civilization, the story lacks any humor that might relieve its dreariness. But the older he grows, the more he disagrees with his mother's ways, and after he learns the horrible truth about a deadly ceremony the Pure Ones have planned for him, he realizes that he must leave his home and his mother. ![]() She raises her hatchling son Nyroc to one day take his father's place and teaches him to believe in the power of hate.
