Attention would-be paesans: Can’t distinguish “gabagool” from “pasta fazool”? Not sure how to properly accessorize your track suit with gold chains? Does the phrase “go to the mattresses” make you sleepy? Now Steven R. Schirripa, The Sopranos’ own Bobby Bacala, exposes the inner mysteries of this unique Italian-American hybrid in A Goomba’s Guide to Life so that anyone can walk, talk, and live like a guy “from the neighborhood.” Über-goomba Steve Schirripa shows how being a goomba made him what he is today, offering lessons learned on his own journey from Bensonhurst to Vegas, and to his current gig as Bobby Bacala on one of TV’s most popular shows. Along the way, he shares secrets that will help you get in touch with your own inner goomba. You’ll learn what music to enjoy (Sinatra, yes; Snoop Dogg, no), what movies to watch (Raging Bull, yes; Titanic, never), which sports to follow (baseball is good; golf and tennis, fuhgeddaboudit), and even tips on goomba etiquette. Ever wonder how a real goomba gets the best seat in the house? (Hint: It involves tipping, jewelry, and intimidation.) Schirripa even includes goomba do’s and don’ts (never, ever criticize a goomba’s mother or her gravy; always wear more jewelry than you think you need). With knockout photographs of Schirripa and his compares, and insider information on how to think goomba, speak goomba, cook and eat goomba, and even how to behave at goomba weddings and funerals, A Goomba’s Guide to Life will show any wiseguy wannabe how to sing like a Soprano.

It's okay though, because we've always been close and I think I'm going to have fun living with him again.That is until I meet Cooper...Turns out, my brother has very strong opinions on the idea of me dating his best friend and is dead set against it. According to him, Cooper is everything I should stay away from: flirtatious, adventurous, non-committal, and freaking hot. (I added that last part because I feel like you need the whole picture.) My brother is right-I should stay away from Cooper James and his pretty blue eyes. He's the opposite of what I need right now.Nah-who am I kidding? I'm going for it.The Off Limits Rule is a closed door romance, perfect for readers who love lots of sizzle but no explicit content.

Wouldn't it be fun to be a Dorm Daddy and have two college freshmen all to yourself in your private home? Juan and Aaron may change your mind about that daydream. Juan and Aaron are freshmen from New York visiting Texas to attend State University. The problem is State U isn't quite ready with its new dorms. Dean Wolf enlists his good pal Ed to help out. The antics of these two twinks, begin during the ride to Ed's home and don't stop until weeks later when it's time for them to leave. Ed tries to control his house with a healthy dose of fun, patience, and spankings. But those young men are a handful (no pun intended.) Ed is kind of weird in his on way. We'll just call him borderline "Psycho", almost as wacky as Norman Bates. There are page after page of laughs and sex in this cute little novella. Excerpt: Dean Wolf tossed a bunch of papers and a pen at me. After I filled out the paperwork that stated all of the terms and rules and regulations of the Temporary Auxiliary Housing Off Campus Agreement -- The name was long enough to give me a headache-- Dean Wolf walked me over to the gym where they were housing the freshmen males. I tried to excuse myself to use the toilet, but Wolf was not having that. He knows I have a bad habit of using the toilet in the men's dressing room for hours. I've visited him on campus before. It's always nice to see those bats swinging between thighs along with the plethora of bouncing balls. And of course a cute melon-shaped ass, dripping wet, making it sweet and succulent to the tongue, is a nice treat. But Wolf wasn't allowing me to engage in any shenanigans today. I had to be professional and fatherly. You may have purchased this when it was authored by Andy Cox. If so, thank you. New readers, please enjoy this and upcoming stories by AC Adams.
