    The Colonel's Baby: A Military Romance Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 333min
    They're baaaaccck, Tracy sing-songed as she passed by where I was trying to study. I didn't look up. "Who?" "Them." She gestured with her chin. I finally looked up to see the small group of Marines coming into the restaurant where I worked part-time. I snorted and looked back down at my book. "I guess they can come in if they want to," I said, turning a page. "This is a restaurant and they have to eat." "And flirt with everything in a skirt." She paused, looking over at me. "Aren't you going over there? They are sitting down in your section." Damn, she was right. I closed my book. So much for studying. I grabbed the menus and headed over to the table where the men sat, talking. As I approached, I took a moment to check them out. They were military judging by their short buzzed haircuts. There was a base nearby and a lot of the personnel came in for lunch or dinner with their families or friends. Between them and the locals, this place stayed pretty busy. "Good evening, gentlemen," I said as I placed a menu in front of each man. They looked up, smiling and nodding in greeting. "What would you like to drink?" One of the men, a handsome blond with clear blue eyes, looked up at me. "You," he answered, giving me a wink. The other men laughed at his joke. I gave him a smile. "You're funny," I answered.

    Mind Controlled by the Dark Unicorn (eBook, ePUB)
    Someone or something was stealing Nancy’s horses right out from under her nose. Vowing to track them down and bring them to justice she stumbles upon a creature that is far greater than her. Watch as Nancy tries to resist the dark unicorn’s power. Will she succumb to the dark one’s advances? Excerpt: A challenging scream of a stallion filled the air, bringing Nancy to a halt. The young 18-year-old woman scanned the area to see if she could locate it. Her heart thundered in her chest, wondering if the poor thing was injured or trapped. After several, frantic minutes of searching, she spotted the proud black stallion standing on the ridge. Her jaw dropped when she realized that the stallion was a unicorn. Nancy rubbed her eyes, then looked again. He was still there and he was still a unicorn. "No wonder you stole my mares from their stalls!" She muttered out loud, amazed at what she was seeing. The stallion pawed the ground before leaping off the steep ledge and landed a few feet from her and the horse she rode. He reared, screaming a challenge as her horse spun around and bolted. She landed in the dust and staggered to her feet, facing a red-eyed black unicorn. "Impossible!" She hissed. Weren't all unicorns supposed to be white and pure? Wait a minute! Unicorns weren't even real! "Yes, I'm real," he snorted as he pawed the ground, stirring up puffs of dust.

    Nanny to Mommy: A Single Dad and a Virgin Romance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 67min, (USK 18)
    Hey Stace. Take a look at this. It’s right up your alley. I glanced up from my book at my roommate Emma, who was holding a newspaper. "What is it?" She scanned the paper. "This daycare wants a pre-k teacher for their two-year-old class. This has your name all over it." I wrinkled my nose. "Um no thanks." "I thought that you wanted to work in childcare." "Nooooo, I want to work with children." Emma frowned. "Okay. Isn’t teaching the same thing?" "Nope." I looked over at her. "I don’t want to have a whole group of ankle biters. I want a nanny job. Preferably, a live in nanny position. That would be better." Emma spread her arms. "How cool would that be to have your own little class? They would be so cute. And-" "Then you do it," I said, shaking my head. "I don’t have those types of aspirations." "Then what is it that you want?" I sighed. "Chelsea got a job as a nanny. Remember? She got to travel with the family on vacations. Had her own room and access to their kitchen and pool. And she got paid well. Very well." "Yeah but the parents were both like famous surgeons or something." "True. But that’s what I want." Emma tossed the paper in our recycling bin. "You know gigs like that come once in a lifetime. She got lucky." I snorted. "I'll just be honest. I want to make a lot of money without expending a lot of energy." "That’s everybody’s dream," Emma said, opening her book. "But some of us have to study. We’re not all born with good looks and daddy’s credit card." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Theresa Stephens.

    Weird Parenting Wins: Bathtub Dining, Family Screams, and Other Hacks from the Parenting Trenches , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 427min
    Unconventional - yet effective - parenting strategies, carefully curated by the creator of the popular podcast The Longest Shortest TimeSome of the best parenting advice that Hillary Frank ever received did not come from parenting experts, but from friends and podcast listeners who acted on a whim, often in moments of desperation. These "weird parenting wins" were born of moments when the expert advice wasn't working, and instead of freaking out, these parents had a stroke of genius. For example, there's the dad who pig-snorted in his baby's ear to get her to stop crying, and the mom who made a "flat daddy" out of cardboard and sat it at the dinner table when her kids were missing their deployed military father.Every parent and kid is unique, and as we get to know our kids, we can figure out what makes them tick. Because this is an ongoing process, Weird Parenting Wins covers children of all ages, ranging in topics from "The Art of Getting Your Kid to Act Like a Person" (on hygiene, potty training, and manners) to "The Art of Getting Your Kid to Tell You Things" (because eventually, they're going to be tight-lipped). You may find that someone else's weird parenting win works for you, or you might be inspired to try something new the next time you're stuck in a parenting rut. Or maybe you'll just get a good laugh out of the mom who got her kid to try beets because...it might turn her poop pink.Read by Hillary Frank, with Nicola Barber, Dan Bittner, Raphael Corkhill, Ana Isabel, Laura Knight-Keating, Barrie Kreinik, Quincy Tyler Bernstine, and Gabra Zackman  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Hillary Frank, full cast. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/peng/004305/bk_peng_004305_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    The Girls from Corona del Mar: A novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 576min
    Why did Lorrie Ann look graceful in beat-up Keds and shorts a bit too small for her? Why was it charming when she snorted from laughing too hard? Yes, we were jealous of her, and yet we did not hate her. She was never so much as teased by us, we roaming and bratty girls of Corona del Mar, thieves of corn nuts and orange soda, abusers of lip gloss and foul language. An astonishing debut about friendships made in youth, The Girls from Corona del Mar is a fiercely beautiful novel about how these bonds, challenged by loss, illness, parenthood, and distance, either break or endure. Mia and Lorrie Ann are lifelong friends: hard-hearted Mia and untouchably beautiful, kind Lorrie Ann. While Mia struggles with a mother who drinks, a pregnancy at 15, and younger brothers she loves but can’t quite be good to, Lorrie Ann is luminous, surrounded by her close-knit family, immune to the mistakes that mar her best friend’s life. Then a sudden loss catapults Lorrie Ann into tragedy: things fall apart, and then fall further - and there is nothing Mia can do to help. And as good, brave, fair Lorrie Ann stops being so good, Mia begins to question just who this woman is, and what that question means about them both. A staggeringly honest, deeply felt novel of family, motherhood, loyalty, and the myth of the perfect friendship, The Girls from Corona del Mar asks just how well we know those we love, what we owe our children, and who we are without our friends. ungekürzt.

    Black Blood: A Steampunk Tale of Horror , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 14min
    What happens when a pursuer can’t be outdistanced, can’t be misled, and can’t be killed. Lark, a city scout, must confront those questions when the demonic creation of the dark scientist Baer Bore sets his sights on him. Can steam and powder overcome the flesh of a hound that cannot die? N. Jacob Wright’s brilliant pacing and steampunk sensibilities make this tale as intriguing as it is horrifying. Why the beast had chosen him and his horse the scout didn’t know. He knew only that like those before him the beast could not be killed by even the most well placed of shots. His only hope was that the metal wonder he rode could outdistance the flesh and bones of his pursuer and that he could make sure the trail stayed cold once it had been lost. “Easy does it girl. “ Smoke billowed from the nostrils of the creature as each hoof ricocheted with a loud ting off the rocks it galloped on. That was something he always loved about this model and that had drawn him to purchase it the moment it was available. The smoke from its nose was so impending, so final. It made him feel like every search across the crags was on a mission that had to be completed at any cost, that lives hung in the balance, that all would be lost if he didn’t report back at the base in time. He smiled ruefully and watched his hands swivel with the joystick to keep the horse in a steady line. “Just a bit more girl.” He had to make it through to the gate that blocked the wildlife here from the rest of the world. This time, at least one life really did hang in the balance. The horse snorted again, letting out more steam so that it could stabilize the pressure at its core. Lark knew the pressure skyrocketed from the running, and he grinned with pride. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jennifer Saucedo.

    You're Beautiful: A Single Mom and a Virgin Romance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 91min, (USK 18)
    “Don, I got tickets for the concert in the park for next month. I hope the weather will be nice for it,” I said to my husband as he stuffed papers into his briefcase.  “I do love concerts in the park. Don’t you?”  “Hmm,” was all he said “Where is my agenda?”  I tried not to feel hurt by him brushing me off. It was nothing new these days. He’d been so busy with work lately that he didn’t seem to have time for me or anything else. I sighed and handed him the leather bound book. He took it without a word and zipped up his messenger bag. Slinging it over his shoulders, he picked up his travel bag and suitcase. He was off to another business trip.  “I have to go. I’ll call you from the airport,” he said as he headed downstairs. I followed him. “Where are you going this time?” I asked. “Denver.”  “How long will you be gone?” Don shrugged. “I’m not sure. What’s with all the questions, huh? I’ll be back when I’m done.” I looked at him.  “I’m sorry, dear. I want to know because I miss you when you’re gone. That’s all. I’m not trying to get in your business.” He glanced at me over his shoulder briefly before checking his phone. “That’s probably a good thing,” he snapped. He finished typing the text and stuffed the phone in his pocket.  “Look Katerina, I don’t like being gone so much anymore than you do. But you’re not working much anymore. Maybe a gig here or there. And-”  “My agent gets jobs for me, Don,” I protested softly.  “I can’t help it that the agencies want younger models.” Don snorted. “Be that as it may, I don’t know why you still try. Face it, baby. You’re modeling days are over.” Hurt washed over me but I didn’t let him see it. He’d been saying that a lot as of late. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Theresa Stephens.
