Not Tonight Mr Right
'There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food and the mere suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionally. When the affection is the entertainment, we no longer call it dating.' Miss Manners In Not Tonight, Mr Right, Kate Taylor teaches modern women how, why and when not to have sex. OK, it doesn't sound very liberated, but it is very empowering . . . well, it's mainly just hilarious, but does make a lot of sense too. Quiz: How Much Do You Need This Book?1. Have you ever had sex when, looking back, a simple 'Thanks for dinner' or 'I'm sorry I forgot your birthday' would have sufficed?2. Have you ever tried to win back a bored boyfriend with a complicated technique called something like 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Hard-On'? 3. Have you ever had sex with someone you weren't that keen on, but still felt irrationally annoyed when they didn't call you again afterwards?4. Have you ever wished you knew the perfect moment to shag?
Boomerang
"Boomerang" begins in early 1988 as Kate Taylor, assassin and covert op, reluctantly returns to the Company and the US, her hope for a new life dashed. One goal keeps her going: revenge, revenge against the man responsible for her imprisonment and torture in East Germany, and revenge against the man who blackmailed her into returning to the Company. Things don't go according to plan as she is thrust into the middle of dangerous conflicts not her own. To survive, Kate must learn to trust new friends and accept a truce with an old adversary. But...she never forgets her goal and will do anything to achieve revenge. "Revenge is like a boomerang. Although for a time it flies in the direction in which it is hurled, it takes a sudden curve, and, returning, hits your own head the heaviest blow of all." -John M. Mason
Not Tonight, Mr. Right
With the same saucy, tell-it-like-it-is appeal of He's Just Not That Into You, sex author Kate Taylor explains reasons to keep your clothes on in laugh-out-loud detail: how Oxytocin -- the Fatal Attraction hormone -- can make women up to ten times more emotionally attached after sex than men; why men never expect to get lucky on the third date, or any date; that relationships are more fun, easier and longer-lasting when you keep your feet on the ground instead of hooking them round his neck. An absolutely unique plan for making sure Mr. Right is more than Mr. Right Now: The Rules for how, why, and when not to have sex, this completely original take on an age-old concept offers: an Extreme Dating Makeover, a Q&A for skeptics, tactical plans, "questions to say yes to before you say yes to him," what to do on those third, fourth, tenth -- dates when nookie isn't in the plan, and "I told you so" success stories, ultimately helping you to figure out the perfect time to have sex.

A Man in Uniform
The year is 1897 and France stands at the threshold of the tumultuous 20th century. Still smarting from the losses of the Franco-Prussian war, the army sees traitors under every bed while the government fears both the Germans and the anarchists. Socialists and monarchists, Republicans and conservatives argue bitterly over the future of the nation while a new mass media has emerged with rival political newspapers to fan the flames of conflict. Cheerfully oblivious to the partisan turmoil is bourgeois lawyer François Dubon. Once a bit of a radical himself, he has artfully constructed a well-ordered existence running a genteel law firm, inherited from his father. He is married to Geneviève, a...
Female Chauvinist Pigs
Today's young women seem to be outdoing the male chauvinist pigs of yesteryear, applauding the 'pornification' of other women, and themselves. This is a world where simulating sex for baying crowds of men on shows like Girls Gone Wild and going to lapdancing clubs - as patrons - is seen as a short cut to cool. Ariel Levy says the joke's on the women if they think this is progress. She tears apart the myth of this new brand of 'empowered woman' and refuses a culture-wide obligation for women to act and look like porn stars. This terrifically witty and wickedly intelligent book makes the case that the rise of raunch does not represent how far women have come - it proves only how far women have left to go.
Abandoned
Kate Taylor endeavours to analyse and reflect on the nature of suffering and oppression and its detrimental effects - to process, examine and understand them. Her poetry collection is intelligent, raw, honest, philosophical and self-reflective. This is the author's response to life while struggling to cope with anxiety and depression from an early age. It is a revealing insight into a mind that attempts to find meaning amongst memories both vivid and vague, as well as past and present feelings and emotions. These poems are an attempt to reconcile the truth with the experience and thus let go of the recriminations that haunt from the past, enabling the way forward to be a step closer to maturity and freedom. A book for all who suffer in isolation and for those who wish to understand them. By author of "Fragments: echo of the past."

She must summon all the courage and skill she possesses to save herself and her lover from violent death. Lynda J.
