Dangerous Attraction 2 : Love and Suspense
Book One
Kelly Bradley didn’t need to worry about falling in love when she came up with her plan to marry Jack Sutton. She’d dated so many great guys over the years, but not fallen in love once. Not with any of them. It just wasn’t in the cards for her. So, when she approached powerful, sexy Jack Sutton and proposed a temporary marriage-of-convenience, she wasn’t one bit concerned that her heart would be on the line. But, when Jack agrees and she moves into his home, Kelly quickly discovers just how wrong she was. Before she knows it, not only is her heart on the line, but her life is, too.
Book Two
After a near-death experience, artist Ashley Price is compelled to paint visions of the dead. Then she paints a man buried alive and, recognizing the surroundings, she rushes to save him. Instead of being grateful to her for rescuing him, Detective Jack Sullivan accuses her of being in league with a serial killer. He swears he will put her behind bars. Except, the more time he spends with her, the more he falls under her spell. Can he trust her, or is he walking into another deadly trap?

Don't Date Your Best Friend (The Unfolding Duet 2 Books)
He shouldn’t have imagined her lying naked on his bed. She shouldn’t have imagined his devilishly handsome face between her legs.
But it was too late.
Kiara began noticing Ethan's washboard abs when he hopped out of the pool, dripping wet after swim practice. Ethan began gazing at Kiara’s golden skin in a bikini as a grown woman instead of the girl next door he grew up with.
That kiss should have never happened.
It was just one moment in a lifetime of moments, but they both felt its power. They knew the thrumming in their veins and desperation in their bodies might give them all they ever wanted or ruin everything if they followed it.
Kiara and Ethan knew they should have never kissed. But it's too late to take that choice back, so they have a new one to make.
Fall for each other and risk their friendship or try to forget one little kiss that might change everything.
PREVIEW:
“If you don’t want to kiss me then... let’s swim.”
“Yeah, sure.”
“Naked.”
“What?”
“I always wanted to try skinny dipping. And I really want to get out of these clothes.”
“What if someone catches you... me, both?”
“We will be in the pool, Ethan. And no one can see us from the living room.” I smirked when I said, “Unless you want to watch me while I swim, you can stay here.”
His eyes darkened, and he looked away, probably thinking the same when I noticed red blush creeping up his neck and making his ears and cheeks flush. Cute.
“Come on, Ethan. Don’t be a chicken...”
“Fine.”
His voice was rough when he said, “Remove that sweater first.”

Which Novels Use Lying In Wait As A Central Suspense Trope?
5 Jawaban2025-10-17 03:57:03
My late-night reading habit has an odd way of steering me straight into books where patience becomes a weapon — I’m talking classic lying-in-wait suspense, the kind where silence and shadow do half the killing. To me the trope works because it converts ordinary places (a country lane, a suburban kitchen, an empty platform) into theaters of dread; the predator isn’t dramatic, they’re patient, and that slow timing is what turns pages into pulses. I love how this mechanic crops up across styles: political thrillers, psychological stalker novels, and old-school noir all handle the wait differently, which makes hunting down examples kind of addictive.
If you want a textbook study in meticulous lying-in-wait, pick up 'The Day of the Jackal' — the assassin’s almost bureaucratic surveillance and rehearsals feel like a masterclass in ambush planning; Forsyth makes the waiting as nail-biting as the act itself. For intimate, unsettling stalking where the narrator’s obsession fuels the wait, 'You' by Caroline Kepnes is brutal and claustrophobic: the protagonist’s patient observations and manipulations are the whole engine of the book. Patricia Highsmith’s 'The Talented Mr. Ripley' leans into social stalking and patient substitution; Ripley watches, studies, and times his moves until the perfect moment arrives. On the gothic side, Arthur Conan Doyle’s 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' isn’t just about a monstrous dog — there’s a human set-up and calculated ambush that resurrects the lying-in-wait mood from an atmospheric angle.
Noir and true crime also make brilliant use of this trope. Raymond Chandler and Jim Thompson deliver scenes where a stranger’s shadow at an alleyway or a late-night knock is the slow build-up to violence. Truman Capote’s 'In Cold Blood', while nonfiction, chillingly documents premeditated waiting and the quiet planning of a home invasion; the realism makes the lying-in-wait elements feel unbearably close to life. If you’re into contemporary blends of domestic suspense and stalker vibes, 'The Girl on the Train' and 'The Silence of the Lambs' (for its predator/researcher psychological chess) scratch similar itches — different tones, same core: patience used as a weapon. Personally, I keep drifting back to books that let the quiet grow teeth, where an ordinary evening can be rehearsal for something terrible — it’s the slow-burn that hooks me more than any sudden explosion.
What Is The Reading Order For The Dragonet Prophecy Books?
5 Jawaban2025-10-17 04:55:27
When I tell people where to start, I usually nudge them straight to the Dragonet Prophecy arc and say: read them in the order they were published. It’s simple and satisfying because the story intentionally unfolds piece by piece, and the character reveals hit exactly when they’re supposed to. So, follow this sequence: 'The Dragonet Prophecy' (book 1), then 'The Lost Heir' (book 2), 'The Hidden Kingdom' (book 3), 'The Dark Secret' (book 4), and finish the arc with 'The Brightest Night' (book 5).
Each book focuses on a different dragonet from the prophecy group, so reading them in order gives you that beautiful rotation of viewpoints and gradual worldbuilding. After book 5 you can jump straight into the next arcs if you want more—books 6–10 continue the saga from new perspectives—plus there are short story collections like 'Winglets' and the novellas in 'Legends' if you crave side lore. Honestly, experiencing that first arc in order felt like finishing a ten-episode anime season for me—tight, emotional, and totally bingeable.
Which Books Feature A Deer Man As Their Main Antagonist?
3 Jawaban2025-10-17 20:42:01
There’s a particular chill I get thinking about forest gods, and a few books really lean into that deer-headed menace. My top pick is definitely 'The Ritual' by Adam Nevill — the antagonist there isn’t a polite villain so much as an ancient, antlered deity that the hikers stumble into. The creature is woven out of folk horror, ritual, and a very oppressive forest atmosphere; it functions as the central force of dread and drives the whole plot. If you want a modern novel where a stag-like presence is the core threat, that book nails it with sustained, slow-burn terror.
If you like shorter work, Angela Carter’s story 'The Erl-King' (collected in 'The Bloody Chamber') gives you a more literary, symbolic take: the Erl-King is a seductive, dangerous lord of the wood who can feel like a deer-man archetype depending on your reading. He’s less gore and more uncanny seduction and predation — the antagonist of the story who embodies that old wild power. For something with a contemporary fairy-tale spin, it’s brilliant.
I’d also throw in Neil Gaiman’s 'Monarch of the Glen' (found in 'Fragile Things') as a wild-card: it features a monstrous, stag-like force tied to the landscape that functions antagonistically. Beyond novels, the Leshen/leshy from Slavic folklore (and its appearances in games like 'The Witcher') shows up across media, influencing tons of modern deer-man depictions. All in all, I’m always drawn to how authors use antlers and the woods to tap into very old, uncomfortable fears — it’s my favorite kind of nightmare to read about.
How Does Prey Drive Affect Protagonist Behavior In Thrillers?
3 Jawaban2025-10-17 17:05:07
The thrill of a chase has always hooked me, and prey drive is the secret engine under a lot of the best thrillers. I usually notice it first in the small, animal details: the way a protagonist's breathing tightens, how they watch a hallway like a den, how ordinary objects become tools or threats. That predator/prey flip colors every choice—do they stalk an antagonist to remove a threat, or do they become hunted and discover frightening resources inside themselves? In 'No Country for Old Men' the chase feeds this raw instinct, and the protagonist’s reactions reveal more about his limits and code than any exposition ever could.
When writers lean into prey drive, scenes gain a tactile urgency. Sensory writing, pacing, and moral ambiguity all tilt sharper: a hunter who hesitates becomes human, a hunted character who fights dirty gets sympathy. Sometimes the protagonist's prey drive is noble—survival, protecting others—but sometimes it corrodes them into obsession, blurring lines between justice and cruelty. That tension makes me keep reading or watching, because the stakes become not just whether they survive, but whether they return whole. Personally, I love thrillers that let the animal side simmer under the civilized one; it feels honest and dangerous, and it sticks with me long after the credits roll.
How Does The Snare Drum Create Suspense In Horror Film Scores?
5 Jawaban2025-10-17 17:16:21
A tight, sudden snare hit makes my spine tingle more reliably than jump scares in the best horror scenes. I love how a snare's sharp attack lives right on the edge between percussion and vocal threat — it cuts through silence and music alike, so when a composer places even a single, dry snap at the right second, it feels like someone just tapped you on the shoulder.
In practice, that effect comes from several tools: a hard stick attack or rimshot gives a piercing transient, damping removes unwanted sustain so the hit is abrupt, and close miking plus a dash of high-end EQ exaggerates that snap. Composers often use short rolls that speed up (accelerandi) to create rising tension, then chop to an isolated snare hit or a sudden silence. The brain hates uncertainty; a repeated soft snare rhythm that breaks unpredictably produces a tiny, continuous anxiety.
I also get a kick from how snares are layered with sound design — subtle body hits, breathing, or distant Foley under the snare can make it feel eerier. When I watch 'Psycho' or modern films that borrow its practice of precise punctuation, I find myself waiting for the next percussive cut, which is exactly the point. It still gives me goosebumps.
How Many Ivy And Bean Books Are In The Series?
3 Jawaban2025-10-17 14:21:40
Counting them up while reorganizing my kids' shelf, I was pleasantly surprised by how tidy the collection feels: there are 12 books in the core 'Ivy and Bean' chapter-book series by Annie Barrows, all sweetly illustrated by Sophie Blackall. These are the short, snappy early-reader chapter books that most people mean when they say 'Ivy and Bean' — perfect for ages roughly 6–9. They follow the misadventures and unlikely friendship between the thoughtful Ivy and the wildly impulsive Bean, and each book's plot is self-contained, which makes them easy to dip into one after another.
If you start collecting beyond the main twelve, you’ll find a few picture-book spin-offs, activity-style tie-ins, and occasional boxed-set editions. Count those extras in and the total jumps into the mid-teens depending on what your bookstore or library carries — sometimes publishers repackage two stories together or release small companion books. For straightforward reading and gifting, though, the twelve chapter books are the core, and they hold up wonderfully as a complete little series.
I still smile picking up the original 'Ivy and Bean' — they’re the kind of books that make kids laugh out loud in the store and parents nod approvingly, so having that neat number of twelve feels just right to me.
In What Order Should Space Vampire Books Be Read?
3 Jawaban2025-10-17 01:16:50
To effectively read the Space Vampire books, it is essential to follow the chronological order of the series, as each installment builds upon the narrative and character development introduced in the previous entries. For instance, starting with Colin Wilson's 1976 novel 'The Space Vampires' lays the groundwork for understanding the cosmic origins and existential themes surrounding vampires. Following this, the 1985 film adaptation 'Lifeforce' offers a visual representation of the story, albeit with notable differences in plot details and character dynamics. After these foundational works, readers can explore contemporary novels such as 'Irina: The Vampire Cosmonaut,' which further expands the vampire mythos in a unique sci-fi context, blending themes of space exploration and supernatural elements. By adhering to this order, readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of how the concept of vampires has evolved across different narratives and mediums, enriching their overall experience of the genre.
What Unique Themes Are Explored In Cat Lover Books?
5 Jawaban2025-10-15 03:02:27
Delving into the world of cat lover books is a fascinating journey! These stories often weave together themes of companionship and affection, highlighting the bond between humans and their feline friends. For instance, books like 'The Cat Who...' series explore the idea of how cats not only provide comfort but can also act as catalysts for solving mysteries. It’s intriguing how these tales illustrate that cats possess unique personalities, almost communicating secrets that humans might miss.
Another striking theme is the concept of healing. Numerous cat-centric narratives, like 'A Street Cat Named Bob,' delve into how these creatures can positively impact mental health. Their purring can soothe anxiety, while their playful antics bring joy and laughter during tough times. It’s not just about the cats; it’s also about the transformation of their human companions, illustrating that the love of a pet can truly change lives.
In many ways, these stories serve to remind us about patience, empathy, and the importance of connections—even when those connections come with fur and whiskers! Cats, with their mysterious ways, encourage us to reflect on our own emotions and interactions with the world around us. What a beautiful tribute they get through these narratives!
What Fanfiction Ideas Stem From Famous Love Story Books?
3 Jawaban2025-10-09 04:05:15
Fantasies and alternate realities keep swirling in my mind whenever I revisit classic love stories. Picture 'Pride and Prejudice,' but set in a futuristic dystopia! Instead of class differences, we’re grappling with life as part of opposing robotic factions. Imagine Elizabeth Bennet as a rogue AI engineer trying to break away from her programmed destiny, while Mr. Darcy is the mysterious leader of a rebellion against the corporate overlords trying to control their lives. The internal struggles of their relationship could mirror their fight for freedom, creating layers of complexity both in love and societal norms.
Switching gears, how about exploring the love story behind 'Romeo and Juliet' with a fantasy twist? What if they were star-crossed lovers from rival kingdoms in a magical realm where their powers could alter time? They discover they can manipulate time, allowing them to experience moments from each other's lives, which could deepen their understanding. This idea could take a dark turn as they face an ancient curse, forcing them to choose between saving their families or their love. The tension would be insane, always lurking in the background!
Fanfiction opens up endless possibilities, and I've thought about how wild it would be to mash together titles! Envision a crossover between 'The Fault in Our Stars' and 'Twilight' where Hazel Grace meets Edward, mid their respective heart-wrenching struggles. Edward could help Hazel navigate her health challenges while they forge a bond over their unique experiences. It could also explore vulnerability in relationships – how loving someone can be as daunting as facing a terminal illness. There’s just so much room to play around with beloved characters and explore their depths in wholly unexpected settings!
What Are Famous Books Featuring A Hopeless Romantic?
3 Jawaban2025-10-09 20:54:38
Thinking about hopeless romantics instantly brings to mind 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen. Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy are iconic, aren't they? I can't help but fall for their slow-burn storyline filled with misunderstandings and societal pressures. The way Darcy's love blossoms, despite his initial arrogance, is so heartwarming. It was like reading a love letter to humanity’s flaws and strengths. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve reread those pivotal scenes, with Lizzy's sharp wit and Darcy’s brooding charm. Also, there's 'The Notebook' by Nicholas Sparks that often gets a lot of attention. I mean, Noah and Allie? Their story encapsulates everything about love that transcends time, making it a classic in its own right. Those passionate moments make me tear up every single time, especially when they reunite after so many years. Being a fan of emotional rollercoasters, I've discussed this book with friends countless times, often debating who has the better love story—Noah or Mr. Darcy.
On a different note, 'Anna Karenina' by Leo Tolstoy also comes into play. Anna's enchanted, yet tragic affair with Count Vronsky shows the darker side of romance and how societal expectations can crush beautiful love. Although it’s a heavy read, it sparks so many discussions about love's complexity and its repercussions on people's lives. Everything feels like a cautionary tale, and I love how it opens up conversations among book clubs my friends and I are a part of. I can really dive deep into these characters’ emotions, understanding their motivations, and feeling the weight of their choices as if they’ve become a part of my own life story.
Each of these books lingers in the heart, showing that the notion of hopeless romance can celebrate beauty but also confront harsh realities. Personally, they’ve enriched my perception of what love can be—both uplifting and sobering.
