    What about bad things? I’m alone on Christmas Eve, I just bombed an important interview, and my roommate is throwing a wild party I wasn’t invited to. That’s when someone knocks into me while shopping and I’m literally thrown into the arms of the most gorgeous man I’ve ever laid eyes on. And it turns out, he isn’t a total stranger. He’s an acquaintance from my past, but he’s not a small-town boy anymore. He has big, rippling muscles. A smile that makes me weak. And smoldering green eyes that drive me positively insane right on the spot. The best part of all - or the worst, if you’ve got my kind of luck? He says he’s whisking me away to a glitzy Christmas Eve party in the mountains. I should say no. I should say I can’t stay. Men like him don’t go for girls like me, and I’m only going to get hurt. But the look in his eye tells me once he claims me, he's never letting me go… It’s an insta-love Christmas with an older, possessive alpha and a sweet, curvy younger woman. Always For Him is a super steamy, super sweet insta-love holiday romance with an HEA and always no cheating. Enjoy! xx, Lauren

    One man as he was studying for the priesthood. Madeleine Albright famously learned from the Washington Post when she was named Secretary of State. "What is it like to find out you are not who you thought you were?" asks Barbara Kessel in this compelling volume, based on interviews with over 160 people who were raised as non-Jews only to learn at some point in their lives that they are of Jewish descent. With humor, candor, and deep emotion, Kessel's subjects discuss the emotional upheaval of refashioning their self-image and, for many, coming to terms with deliberate deception on the part of parents and family. Responses to the discovery of a Jewish heritage ranged from outright rejection to wholehearted embrace. For many, Kessel reports, the discovery of Jewish roots confirmed long-held suspicions or even, more mysteriously, conformed to a long-felt attraction toward Judaism. For some crypto-Jews in the southwest United States (descendants of Jews who fled the Spanish Inquisition), the only clues to their heritage are certain practices and traditions handed down through the generations, whose significance may be long since lost. In Poland and other parts of eastern Europe, many Jews who were adopted as infants to save them from the Holocaust are now learning of their heritage through the deathbed confessions of their adoptive parents. The varied responses of these disparate people to a similar experience, presented in their own words, offer compelling insights into the nature of self-knowledge. Whether they had always suspected or were taken by surprise, Kessel's respondents report that confirmation of their Jewish heritage affected their sense of self and of their place in the world in profound ways. Fascinating, poignant, and often very funny, Suddenly Jewish speaks to crucial issues of identity, selfhood, and spiritual community.
