![]() ![]() There was even a twist, I did not see coming. I thought it was well done and pretty exciting at times. That wasn't the case here at all, which was nice.īesides the romance, the other main part of this book was the mystery. I think sometimes authors can write the same sex scenes over and over and they can get repetitive. They were pretty darn steamy, and seemed slightly different than what I usually read. I was pretty impressed by the love scenes too. I believed in them being together, and felt their chemistry. The romance was a bit clunky in parts, especially with one characters background affecting things, but it didn't bother me. ![]() You had the player, no time for a relationship Bailey and the innocent, sweet paramedic Ashleigh. This had your Royal Mounted Police and a paramedic, so it was perfect for me. I've always been a fan of lesfic cops and docs type books. I've been wanting to read this book, and I'm happy to say it lived up to my expectations. This is the first book I have read by Teichman. ![]()

Read more the sources of morality, religion, and the creative arts are fundamentally biological in nature, the renowned Harvard University biologist presents us with the clearest explanation ever produced as to the origin of the human condition and why it resulted in our domination of the Earth’s biosphere. Watson calls “a monumental exploration of the biological origins of the human condition,” Wilson explains how our innate drive to belong to a group is both a “great blessing and a terrible curse” (Smithsonian). Refashioning the story of human evolution, Wilson draws on his remarkable knowledge of biology and social behavior to demonstrate that group selection, not kin selection, is the premier driving force of human evolution.

The first section of the book is essentially the Disney movie, and that part does grab you and you love Wart so much that you keep reading just to find out how it ends for him (although, it got harder and harder to keep reading for a while there, in the middle - it got a bit slow). This book is so much more than just Arthur and Camelot. Then my book club chose this as our monthly selection and I finally decided it was time to tackle this monster. Ever since I saw the musical "Camelot" in the theater when I was in high school, the story just didn't appeal to me. It's been a while since I read a serious chunkster like that (besides Harry Potter, which somehow in my mind doesn't really count.).īesides that, I am just not a fan of "Authur" stories, despite my deep love of the Disney movie The Sword and the Stone, of course. ![]() ![]() ![]() I might have seen Bourdain's books as I wandered through a bookstore. ![]() Well friend, the thrill of a late discovery (even when you are 15 years late to the party) is still pretty damn sweet.
