Description

The Young Girl's Handbook of Good Manners for Use in Educational EstablishmentsA bestselling author in his time, Pierre Lous (1870 1925) was a friend of, and influence on, Andr Gide, Paul Val ry, Oscar Wilde and Stephane Mallarm among others. He achieved instant notoriety with Aphrodite and The Songs of Bilitis, but it was only after his death that Lous' true legacy was to be discovered: nearly 900 pounds of erotic manuscripts were found in his home, all of them immediately scattered among collectors and many subsequently lost.

A bestselling author in his time, Pierre Louÿs (1870-1925) was a friend of, and influence on, Andr Gide, Paul Val ry, Oscar Wilde and Stephane Mallarm among others. He achieved instant notoriety with Aphrodite and The Songs of Bilitis, but it was only after his death that Louÿs' true legacy was to be discovered: nearly 900 pounds of erotic manuscripts were found in his home, all of them immediately scattered among collectors and many subsequently lost. Since then, it has become clear that Louÿs is the greatest French writer of erotica there ever was. The Young Girl's Handbook of Good Manners was the first of his erotic manuscripts to see publication, and it also remains his most outrageous--an erotic classic in which humor takes precedence over arousal. By means of shockingly filthy advice--ostensibly offered "for use in educational establishments"--couched in a hilariously parodic admonitory tone, Louÿs turns late-nineteenth-century manners roundly on their head, with ass prominently skyward. Whether offering rules for etiquette in church, school or home, or outlining a girl's duties toward family, neighbor or God, Louÿs manages to mock every institution and leave no taboo unsullied. The Young Girl's Handbook of Good Manners has only grown more scandalous and subversive since its first appearance in 1926.

Everything
Format: Kindle
TB Markinson + Miranda MacLeod = winning combination. This book was everything I needed. To be fair, having read their previous collaborations, as soon as I saw this book I hit "buy" without even paying much attention to the blurb. I was not disappointed. When I eventually got around to reading the blurb (post-purchase) I was even more excited to read it. The storyline was great, the story well-written, the characters quite likeable and relatable and all in all a great book. I went through all the feels with this: there were parts that made me laugh, parts where I had to put it down because I really wanted to shake the characters, parts where I went "awww" and couldn't hold back a tear. So, long story short, read this book, you won't regret it

Loved this story.
Format: Kindle
First things first. Will there be a sequel, ladies? Perhaps children for Maisie and Drew? Hannah finding a woman to love? I really loved this story. Horses, critters, angst and some good lovin’. What more could a woman ask for? Well done you two. You made this old broad pine for a ranch and a lovely cowgirl.

Learning to trust
Format: Kindle
Maisie has gone to Las Vegas for her company to run a booth with her friends. Drew is in the horse racing and is also at Las Vegas. They meet up and become married when they have too much to drink. This is a really great story with Greek characters. Maisie is from the city in Wisconsin and Drew is a rancher from Wyoming. The plot revolves around Drew finding out that she is married to Maisie another fax her ranch. The store is about trust issues and how they work to overcome them and also their personalities. I recommend this book for all romance readers.

Ranch, please
Format: Kindle
When I realized that “Two of a Kind” pairs a rancher and a white-collar marketing professional, I feared it would echo one of the similarly themed formulaic and saccharine Hallmark movies. But I should have trusted that Markinson and MacLeod would again successfully craft a lively woman-loving-woman story that holds your interest throughout. In my opinion, this is their best collaboration so far. The novel matches Milwaukee “city girl” Maisie Sullivan, an impoverished but bubbly marketing assistant whose goal is to finish her college degree, with the often dour Drew Campbell, a struggling Wyoming rancher whose shrugs are her most used communication device. The two meet in Las Vegas and discover that not all that happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Following a sexy and boozy night in Nevada that neither woman can remember, the co-authors move the story to remote Wyoming, where life is consumed by the demands of the Campbell family’s 14,000 acre cattle ranch. “Two of a Kind” offers well-developed, relatable characters, great pacing, and a balanced mix of emotional, entertaining, rewarding, and romantic interactions between the two protagonists.
