Few authors could have succeeded after having bitten off so much. Fewer still could have made it accessible to the layman and an immensely enjoyable read at that. ...             Love Only Once: A Malory Novel72 reviews Johanna Lindsey Avon Books, 1985 A steamy tale of love, desire, entrancement and clashing wills. Love Only Once: A Malory Novel is the unabridged audiobook presentation of bestselling author Johanna Lindsey's passionate romance novel. Regina Ashton, niece to Lord Edward and Lady Charlotte Malory and blessed with her family line's sumptuous beauty, has been abducted by the handsome, golden-haired rogue Nicholas Eden. Enraged by her kidnapping, yet also inflamed with passion for Nicholas, ...             Intimate Enemy: How to Fight Fair in Love and Marriage3 reviews George Robert Bach, Peter Wyden Avon Books (Mm), 1983 Essential information for preserving relationships. I read this book many years ago and it totally changed my perspective about the NEED for conflict in a relationship. It pointed out constructive ways to express one's feelings and opinions without becoming destructive and hurtful in the process. The author points out that positive conflict-resolution techniques are essential if relationships are to last in the long term. The concepts not ...             The Reckoning21 reviews David Halberstam Avon Books (P), 1994 ten stars This book is a masterpiece of narrative journalism. Based on five years of research and interviews, it tells the story of how the Japanese came to dominate the American car industry by telling the stories of key individuals, in the U.S. and Japan, who played important roles in that story. Halberstam is such a skilled writer that every one of these people comes alive on the page; you will meet the ...             Nothing But The Truth: A Documentary Novel668 reviews Avi Avon Flare Books, 1993 Used Book in Excellent Condition Book was sent in a very timely manner and in excellant condition. would definately order from this seller again!             The Black Lyon77 reviews Jude Deveraux Avon Books, 2007 the black lion i received my order in a quickly, & all the items were in excellant condition             The Taste of Night (The Second Sign of the Zodiac)36 reviews Vicki Pettersson Avon Books, 2007 I love this Series, The Zodiac Series In this book, the second book of the Zodiac series, the book opens about 6 months down the road from where the first book left off, Joanna/Olivia is at a charity auction where she is one of many dates being auctioned off.

She follows him, and another Blonde woman ...             Your Erroneous Zones73 reviews Wayne W. Dyer Avon Books, 2001 Take responsibility for your emotions, your life This book has truly helped me identify what Dyer refers to as "erroneous zones" in my life. He discusses anger, dependency on others, success and failure, guilt, worry, blame and procrastination. Ways to identify behaviors that encompass these constructs, and suggestions on dealing with them are very helpful. Much of the book encourages introspection, and identifying our own behaviors that ...             Dates From Hell34 reviews Kim Harrison, Lynsay Sands, ... Avon Books, 2006 Awsome book This book is great! Its basicly 4 differnt mini books in one but each of them keep you on the edge of your seat! I recomend it to everyone!             Living a Beautiful Life: 500 Ways to Add Elegance, Order, Beauty and Joy to Every Day of Your Life21 reviews Alexandra Stoddard Avon Books, 1988 I think its an attitude thing I read this book in l995 before there were so many decorating shows on TV. This worked for me so well because I came out of a home where these kinds of things were not taught. It was a primer for "gracious living". I'm not saying I learned to do everything in the book...but it set a tone, a pattern that has helped me along. Perhaps the most important thing was to help set a homey ...             Jonathan Livingston Seagull: A Story1 review Richard Bach Avon Books: NY, 1973 Of life and love, not just for seagulls I read this little book in my late teens, and i never saw seagulls the same way again. I would always look to see whether a Jonathan Livingston was among them :) Years later i read a series of books, The Wave by Laura Knight Jadczyk, which reminded me of this one: perhaps all there is in life - and after this life - is lessons. And for some - people or seagulls - just eating and sleeping is ...             Dune to Death (A Bed-And-Breakfast Mystery)5 reviews Mary Daheim Avon Books, 1993 Dune is Delightful Mary Daheim never disappoints. Her fine writing and sense of relational storytelling is displayed with joyful attention to detail, a wry humor and deliciously unexpected connetions between well-defined characters. Buccaneer Beach, Oregon, the setting for Dune to Death, is a place that feels familiar, so much so that I can smell the ocean, feel the waves wash over my feet and the sand squish ...             The Crook Factory47 reviews Dan Simmons Avon Books, 1999 A real gem for fans of Ernest Hemingway! Going into this exraordinary novel I knew very little about Hemingway's spy network 'The Crook Factory' during WWII in Cuba. It was fascinating & surprising to read author Dan Simmon's note at the end revealing that 95% of what I'd just read was true!!! The book not only offers lots of biographical info on Hemingway, but gives some key insights into his final days before he committed suicide. ...             The Nine Nations of North America19 reviews Joel Garreau Avon Books (P), 1989 North America as You Really Know It I purchased this in a book kiosk at the Seattle airport en route to Miami. As I was in Seattle, I started with the section that dealt with the Pacific Northwest and, damn, I suddenly realized why I'd reacted to it as I did. A stop in Kansas City, in the bread basket, proved the same response. Garreau has an instinct for people, places and things and must have had the muse sitting on his lap ...             Between Parent and Teenager2 reviews Haim G. Ginott Avon Books (Mm), 1988 Great advice and MUST have! This book was great!! Don't let the year the book was written make your decision to buy because the information that Dr. Ginott provides in this book is relevant to our teenagers today. He provides solid advice along with senarios of how to deal with particular situations. This is not a book that you have to read from cover to cover, you can start anywhere in the book depending on the situation ...             Christmas Knight20 reviews Christina Skye Avon Books, 1998 One of my ALL TIME FAVORITES!!! This is definately one of those Keeper books. I love the whole Draycott Abbey Series, and can't wait for the next one. Hint, Hint, Christina!!! A reluctant hero, a maid in dire straits, three bumbling witches and of course, Adrian the guardian ghost from Draycott Abbey all combine into one of the most entertaining reads ever! You want romance, well honey, you've got it in this one. One to ...             The Second Son101 reviews Charles Sailor Avon Books, 1979 good , interesting read first off - i am a real person and i did read this book back when it first came out and again in later years, i really like the storyline, it is a "what if" book - what if the 2nd comming is just a plain old everyday construction worker, what if some people believed, what if some did not and tried to discredit him, what if, what if, what if...... the only way to decide if you like it is to read ...             The Peter Pan Syndrome: Men Who Have Never Grown Up12 reviews Dan Kiley Avon Books, 1995 Don't listen to the review of that guy KENT! Kent gave this book a low rating because the book doesn't tell people how to FIX their Peter Pan man. I was NOT shocked that the writer of this review was a man. Many men almost always want to fix things, even if they don't understand what is going on. Kent's silly review of this very good book shows just how simplistic unaware people can be. Rule of psychology: NO one person can fix another ...             Rebecca491 reviews Daphne du Maurier Avon books, 1997 Great suspense novel Warning: spoiler A fantastic novel, that deserves a place next to "Wuthering Hights", "Great Expectations" or "Jane Eyre". Daphne Dumaurier's beautiful and rich writing style and amazing storytelling skills make this novel great fun to read. She handles the character development wonderfully well, in particular the overly sensitive and devoted heroine, the sinister housekeeper Mrs. Danvers, the ...             Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution Robert C.
