    “Live dangerously”, he joked. She had no idea how serious the danger would become. The dilapidated motel and gas station next to the Snake River look like the set for a zombie movie - and Hailey Burke has just inherited the whole mess after finishing college. Now, armed with a business degree, a crowbar, and a few cans of paint, Hailey is setting out to make a calm, practical living for herself. Until a man she knew for one day, and lost oh-so-many years ago, steps through the door. FBI agent Jacob Hayden Robie is on a search for a terrorist hideout somewhere between Salisbury Junction and the Snake River in northeastern Oregon. The old motel by the freeway is his best bet for a distraction-free central location, even if its owner is the one who got away. Someone around her, though, is the man or woman he’s hunting. To flush out the enemy, he’ll have to hide his real identity - and his feelings for Hailey - even if it means she’ll never trust him again. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jesse Frances.

    Imagine what life would be like to be loved by a not-so-typical wild deer. Think of the discoveries - full of fun, and at times, terrifying - as awareness blurs nature's wildlife boundaries and friendship grows. This is the true tale of a deer rescue and a human.It was the spring of 1999 when Anna found the fawn, alone and dying in the grassy paddock of Unicorn Hollow, her farm in bucolic Tewksbury, New Jersey. The sick baby triggered vivid memories of her own catastrophic injuries as a small child, and their bond grew strong.Named Blossom, the pet fawn, thrives, and matures into a sleek doe with a big personality. She lives in and out of the house, never choosing between her wild herd or the human family who raised her. Protecting a deer within a rural hunting community soon turns into a drama with many ramifications. Notoriety makes Blossom a target to look at or shoot at. Newspaper articles started the conversation. Neighbors and hunters joined up to protect the “wild ambassador of Tewksbury”. Others bragged about using Blossom as a bait and joked about “Blossom burgers”. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Petrea Burchard.

    Workaholic billionaire Sawyer Carlyle may have joked he needed a buffer from their marriage-obsessed mom, but he didn't need a waiting room filled with candidates to further distract him. (Thanks, bro.) But when a sexy job applicant shoos his mom and the socialite in tow out of his office, Sawyer sees the genius of the plan. And the woman. In fact, Miss Clover Lee might just get the fastest promotion in history, from buffer to fake fiancé.... This free spirit might look like hot sunshine and lickable rainbows, but she negotiates like a pit bull. Before Sawyer knows what hit him, he's agreed to give up Friday nights for reality TV, his Saturdays for flea markets (why people buy junk still baffles him), his Tuesdays and Thursdays for date nights (AKA panty-losing opportunities if he plays his cards right). And now she wants lavender bath salts and tulips delivered every Monday? Yup, she's just screwing with him. Good thing she's got this non-negotiable six-weeks-and-she's-gone rule, or Sawyer may have just met his match.... Contains mature themes. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephanie Rose.

    Now that she was old enough to do it, Maddy headed to the liquor store just to buy lottery tickets and get carded. She was disappointed when she saw that she knew the guy at the front. It was Rice, and she sat right next to him in one of her college classes. The bad news was that she wasn’t going to get carded. The good news was that Rice was sexy and charming. He even joked about making her put out if she won. They even flirted and set up a date for that evening, win or lose! Then something amazing happened. She won! She actually won $2,000! That was more than she made at her part-time job in two months, and nothing could beat it. Well, nothing could beat it except Rice collecting and making her put out. That was fine, but he did it right there at the liquor store, and while they were right in the middle of it, she saw a woman watching her! Warning: This audiobook contains very explicit descriptions of sexual activity and includes new adult sex, oral sex, rough sex, sex in public, and more. Only mature adults who won't find that offensive should listen to this book. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scarlet Chase.

    Do you want to learn more about reflexology? Would you like to know how to self-perform reflexology and practice it on others? The history of reflexology is fairly broad and fairly extensive. What it comes down to is the fact that there is a lot of history that is loaded with the application of physical touch to make people cope with their suffering, whether physical, mental, or spiritual. It wasn't until the modern era that people started putting a name to the idea that you could apply pressure on areas of your body that would influence the feeling of other parts. It was often joked that a person who had a toothache should squeeze their toe to get some relief from it. During the 16th century, the idea of zone therapy began to become more and more prominent. This idea, that there are zones in the bodies and that there are ways to access them from different places in the body, became more and more popular and more and more time was dedicated to the research of it. Here is a preview of what you'll learn: Introduction What Is Reflexology? The Basics of Reflexology The Basics of the Foot The Basics of the Hands The Massage Much, much more!

    For generations, New Yorkers have joked about “The City's” interminable tearing down and building up. The city that the whole world watches seems to be endlessly remaking itself. When the locals and the rest of the world say “New York”, they mean Manhattan, a crowded island of commercial districts and residential neighborhoods, skyscrapers and tenements, fabulously rich and abjectly poor cheek by jowl. Of course, it was not always so; New York's metamorphosis from compact port to modern metropolis occurred during the mid-19th century. Empire City tells the story of the dreams that inspired the changes in the landscape and the problems that eluded solution. Author David Scobey paints a remarkable panorama of New York's uneven development, a city-building process careening between obsessive calculation and speculative excess. Envisioning a new kind of national civilization, “bourgeois urbanists” attempted to make New York the nation's pre-eminent city. Ultimately, they created a mosaic of grand improvements, dynamic change, and environmental disorder. Empire City sets the stories of the city's most celebrated landmarks - Central Park, the Brooklyn Bridge, the downtown commercial center within the context of this new ideal of landscape design and a politics of planned city building. Perhaps such an ambitious project for guiding growth, overcoming spatial problems, and uplifting the public was bound to fail; still, it grips the imagination. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    We were students at the local college and tonight there was supposedly a hot group of guys in town for some sports thing. Our girl group needed a good night out since there was never anything fun to do in this boring town. They were coming over to my apartment tonight to get ready and have some drinks before we hit the club.I heard a couple of the girls arrive at our place and walk towards me as I curled my hair in the bathroom. Oh my god, Holly had invited Rylie, whom I had this crazy girl crush on for years. Every time we hung out, we had such a good time. We joked about going home with each other one night since no guys seemed interested in us and innocently flirted whenever we had the chance. We never seriously considered doing anything for real, but it was always fun teasing guys and getting a little attention while we were at it.As the night went on, it was obvious that she was a little more interested in me than at any other time we've hung out. We dirty danced, sat extremely close to each other and at one point, decided to escape to the washroom together. Things took off, and I knew she truly wanted me, and I know I wanted her too.Would it be so wrong if I hooked up with a girl? That's what college days were supposedly for right?   ungekürzt.

    Of all our great presidents, Theodore Roosevelt is the only one whose greatness increased out of office. When he toured Europe in 1910 as plain “Colonel Roosevelt”, he was hailed as the most famous man in the world. Crowned heads vied to put him up in their palaces. “If I see another king,” he joked, “I think I shall bite him.” Had TR won his historic “Bull Moose” campaign in 1912 (when he outpolled the sitting president, William Howard Taft), he might have averted World War I, so great was his international influence. Had he not died in 1919, at the early age of 60, he would unquestionably have been reelected to a third term in the White House and completed the work he began in 1901 of establishing the United States as a model democracy, militarily strong and socially just. This biography by Edmund Morris, the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning author of The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt and Theodore Rex, is itself the completion of a trilogy sure to stand as definitive. Packed with more adventure, variety, drama, humor, and tragedy than a big novel, yet documented down to the smallest fact, it recounts the last decade of perhaps the most amazing life in American history. What other president has written 40 books, hunted lions, founded a third political party, survived an assassin’s bullet, and explored an unknown river longer than the Rhine?  ungekürzt.

    There was something slightly apocalyptic in the way the girl was speaking, and Bella felt more than a little frightened now. She watched the girl get up and walk slowly to the kitchen counter where the young visitor grabbed a glass and helped herself to an opened bottle of white wine. "You want one too? Make yourself at home!" the girl joked. Bella was silent. The girl moved to the patio doors at the back of the kitchen and looked out at the garden. "You might as well have a glass," she told Bella with that seductive Spanish accent more to the fore. "I mean this party is happening, and sooner or later you're gonna climb on for the ride." Bella watched, terrified and fascinated. The glimmer of sundown caught the edges of the girl's beautiful body as she stood in that strange jewel-studded, almost illuminated, underwear. Bella couldn't help but notice the delicious little kink between the girl's waist and her hips. As in the train and as in her office, Bella's throat suddenly felt parched. Something lurched in her tummy as if she was soaring on a rollercoaster. "You have a bed upstairs?" the girl said in that matter-of-fact tone that so disoriented the older woman. "Er, yes, naturally. We don't sleep on the floor!" Bella was pleased with this reply: positive, confident, and even a small rebuke there somewhere! "And your husband wears ties?" This time Bella was less confident: "Er, yes.... Er, why do you ask?" ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Velvet Campbell Stewart.

    Why would a middle-aged businessman who had never even spent the night outdoors, attempt to hike the entire Appalachian Trail? Bill Walker, a former commodities trader in Chicago and London, and an avid walker, had developed a virtual obsession to hike this historic 2,175 mile footpath in one hiking season. In the spring of 2005 he set off from his home state of Georgia, hoping to make it to Mount Katahdin in northern Maine before the arrival of winter. Immediately, he realized he had plunged into a whole new world. For starters, the Appalachian Trail has some ferociously difficult terrain, winding through dramatically diverse geography and covering the East's highest peaks. Walker's 6'11" height earned him the trail name, "Skywalker", and drew envious attention from his fellow hikers. However, the height made him more susceptible to weight loss, cold weather, and crushing fatigue. An elemental fear of bears and snakes, as well as getting lost, also loomed large. Skywalker was especially struck by the rich culture this jewel of a trail has developed over the years. Included is a history of how the Appalachian Trail has become such a stunning American success story over the decades. It is a model public-private partnership. As many as 4,000,000 people hike some part of it each year. Mortals are compelled - or perhaps cursed - to relive their lifetime adventure. This is Bill Walker's unforgettable version, leavened with ruthlessly self-deprecating humor. Some have joked that the book is as much about what not to do, as what to do. Skywalker couldn't agree more! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bill Walker. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/016488/bk_adbl_016488_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
