What happens when you put 2 real people in a fictional situation and let them respond as they naturally would? Well, in this case, The Unexpected happens. This is the true love story that never happened, with genuine dialogue and communication that unfolded between 2 friends. Elle is a journalist in Toronto, stuck under the controlling nature of her overbearing editor. Jack is a Sgt. in Britain's Royal Air Force who meets her when she's forced into writing a series about online dating. As they begin to communicate, they're both fully confident that their mutual reluctance for a relationship is safe because of their distance and circumstances. That is until, unexpectedly, they are made to deal with the reality of the relationship they've created when they find themselves thrown together in the middle of a war zone. Eventually, they begin to navigate the complicated nature of their lives as they head towards an ending neither of them ever wanted or saw coming. ***This story is fictional any comments or opinions given within are fictional.

In her first month as a paralegal at the law firm Lavigne Nelson Kiley Moore, Callie Morrison is just trying to keep her head down, do good work and stay anonymous. This all changes the moment she discovers that Katherine, Holly, and Patrick (three lawyers at the firm) have a regular Thursday night Book Club. For a bibliophile like Callie, the allure of a regular book club is more than she can handle. It turns out Callie is more than just a book enthusiast. She has a savant-like ability to recall entire passages and chapters from anything she's ever read...and she's read them all. Accordingly, she sees the world through the lens of classic literature. Where others see a lawsuit involving a "Toddlers and Tiaras" type show, to her, it is Lolita. Callie uses her knowledge of the books to predict outcomes and find solution to these cases. But when Callie crashes Book Club in the hopes of engaging in a deep and meaningful exchange on her favorite works of literature, she makes a shocking discovery. Book Club may not be as it appears from the outside. High stakes court cases, a secret club, adventures lasting into the wee hours of the morning - this is not your mother's Book Club.

{Completa ✔️} Storia vincitrice dei WATTYS 2018 nella categoria Rubacuori •1^ classifica nella categoria storie d'amore del concorso 'Hidden Talents' •3^ classificata nella categoria 'Cafuné' del 'Diamond Contest' Dicono che il primo amore non si scorda mai. Per Adele, questa poteva benissimo essere una frase da biscotto della fortuna, lei non ci credeva troppo. Dire che non credeva all'amore, però, era una bugia, e poi faceva troppo da 'ragazza con il cuore a pezzi che presto incontrerà l'anima gemella', e, in tutta onestà, era troppo deprimente. Lei era innamorata dall'amore, ma non di quello celebrato nelle fiabe, dell'amore autentico, reale, di quello che ti fa stare bene tanto quanto ti fa soffrire, di quello che ti fa battere il cuore, piangere, urlare, fare follie, stare male per davvero, di quello che comunque vada, ne sarà valsa la pena. Lei era innamorata di quell'amore che non sempre finisce bene: Enea e Didone, Piramo e Tisbe, Cathy e Heathcliff, Werther e Lotte. Odiava le favole perché , secondo lei, non rispecchiano la realtà dei fatti, illudendo chi le legge. Tutto passa. Ormai questo era il suo motto. Le cose cambiano e si va avanti. E lei lo aveva fatto. E di lì a poco si sarebbe sposata proprio nello stesso paesino sperduto in cui aveva vissuto i primi anni della sua vita, dove viveva lui: il suo primo amore. Masochismo, vendetta, volontà di girare pagina. Forse. O forse semplicemente, alla fine, non aveva resistito al richiamo del suo posto nel mondo, perché la Sicilia, casa sua, lo sarebbe sempre stata.

❇️ 2018 WATTYS WINNER! The Originals category ❇️ - "The Breakfast Club" meets "Nancy Drew" in this most unusual YA Mystery. SUMMARY: Five high school students, with little in common other than being descendants of the town founders, are forced to work on a history project together. But when their history project uncovers evidence of a long-buried town secret, the kids must piece together the clues behind their discovery before its legacy comes back to haunt them. ***** Using ACTUAL, archival material (some dating as far back as 1776), The Descendants weaves a tale of mystery and intrigue, constructed entirely from real photographs, documents, and snippets of history from a small, rural town in New Hampshire. What Dan Brown did with conspiracy theories in "The DaVinci Code" and Ransom Riggs did with historical photographs in "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children," I will attempt to do in "The Descendants," but with teen protagonists and the Cheshire County Historical Society. :-) Why? 'Cause I'm crazy like that! Yeah, I know...History?! Blah! But it actually turned out really fun! :-)

For the first time in a looooong while, Lacy reconsiders her vow. Because sexy Chase Kelly, wounded soul that he may be, would be an oh-so-delicious way of breaking her fast. Now, if she can just keep them both alive and him out of jail....
