Book Description

She's the one woman he can never have... Cougar shifter Adric Savonett is the youngest alpha in the world—and not because he's a nice guy. He and his sister are alive today thanks to the ruthlessness he hides beneath his cocky rock-star exterior. But now his sister is in danger from a treacherous fae prince. Dolphin shifter Rosana do Rio might be young and inexperienced, but her heart recognizes Adric as her mate. Too bad their clans are bitter rivals, and Adric is damned if he'll play Romeo to her Juliet. Then Rosana comes to him with an offer he never expected. That one night he's craved with her? She's ready. He shouldn't say yes, but he can't resist. But the fae prince has been spying on Adric and his sister, and now Rosana is a target, too... *A white-hot forbidden romance with alpha shifters, treacherous fae and a satisfying HEA.* THE FADA. Shapeshifters created during Dionysus's infamous bacchanals from a mix of fae, human and animal genes. They're ruthless, untamed—and when they love, it's forever. *BEST SHIFTER SERIES ~ Paranormal Romance Guild's Reviewer's Choice Awards* NOTE: All books in the Fada Shapeshifter Series are standalone with an HEA, but the clans, stories and people interconnect. If you crave dark shifters, dangerous fae and intense emotional storylines, this series is for you. EXCERPT: I'll be her first. Adric's chest squeezed. No other male had touched her. The primitive part of him reveled in that. He wanted to take her, long and hard. Imprint himself on her so that she'd always remember him. But he also wanted to take care of her. Show her how special she was. Caress her. Love her. He was a hard man. Some would say a cold-blooded killer. But he'd done what he had to, survived when a softer man wouldn't have—and saved his clan besides. For Rosana, though, he'd dredge up whatever tenderness he could. The wind had picked up. It whistled through the dunes, whipped her long black curls across her face. She captured her hair in one hand and beamed at him, her irises a deep sapphire in the fading light. "Race you back to the B&B." She took off down the street, surprisingly agile in the high-heeled boots. He blinked, and with a predatory grin, loped after her. His cougar loved a chase. He stayed behind her until they were almost to the B&B, because hey, watching that ass of hers wasn't a hardship. Then he lunged, grabbing her waist and swinging her into the air. She shrieked with laughter and grabbed his shoulders. Those long legs wrapped around his waist. "Beat you." He closed his teeth gently on her full lower lip and kept walking toward the B&B. "What do I win?" He hitched her higher and nibbled his way down her neck. "No fair." She angled her head so he could taste the tender underside of her jaw. "We didn't agree to anything for the winner." He reached around her to open the door to the B&B. The stairwell was silent, his animal-enhanced senses telling him they were alone in the building. He headed up to the second floor with Rosana wrapped around him like a sexy vine. He let his cat into his smile. "Where did you get the idea I play fair?" "A fun, rich read...

Book Description

The subjects of this book constitute a significant cross section of BBC science fiction television. With such characters as the Doctor (an enigmatic time-traveling alien), Kerr Avon (a problematic rebel leader), Dave Lister (a slovenly last surviving human) and Captain Jack Harkness (a complex omnisexual immortal), these shows have both challenged and reinforced viewer expectations about the small-screen masculine hero. This book explores the construction of gendered heroic identity in the series from both production and fan perspectives. The paradoxical relationships between the producers, writers and fans of the four series are discussed. Fan fiction, criticism and videos are examined that both celebrate and criticize BBC science fiction heroes and villains.

Book Description

Doctor Who has always contained a rich current of religious themes and ideas. In its very first episode it asked how humans rationalize the seemingly supernatural, as two snooping schoolteachers refused to accept that the TARDIS was real. More recently it has toyed with the mystery of Doctor's real name, perhaps an echo of ancient religions and rituals in which knowledge of the secret name of a god, angel or demon was thought to grant a mortal power over the entity. But why does Doctor Who intersect with religion so often, and what do such instances tell us about the society that produces the show and the viewers who engage with it? The writers of Religion and Doctor Who: Time and Relative Dimensions in Faith attempt to answer these questions through an in-depth analysis of the various treatments of religion throughout every era of the show's history. While the majority of chapters focus on the television show Doctor Who, the authors also look at audios, novels, and the response of fandom. Their analyses--all written in an accessible but academically thorough style--reveal that examining religion in a long-running series such as Doctor Who can contribute to a number of key debates within faith communities and religious history. Most importantly, it provides another way of looking at why Doctor Who continues to inspire, to engage, and to excite generations of passionate fans, whatever their position on faith. The contributors are drawn from the UK, the USA, and Australia, and their approaches are similarly diverse. Chapters have been written by film scholars and sociologists; theologians and historians; rhetoricians, philosophers and anthropologists. Some write from the perspective of a particular faith or belief; others write from the perspective of no religious belief. All, however, demonstrate a solid knowledge of and affection for the brilliance of Doctor Who.
