    Her name was Mia. Rich girl, law school drop-out, smart, crazy sexy, and in over her head with me from the moment I rescued her on the side of a South Florida road. She's going to require some delicate handling on my part. Maybe that's what challenges me about her. Her innocence. She'll play my games. They all do. I train them, and they love what I give back. I need them, too, but only the sex; it keeps the nightmares away. I'm addicted to the game, to the action, to the control. I'm good at what I do. I own a piece of Command Performance, one of South Beach's hottest sex clubs. But no one owns a piece of me. Not the army. Not anymore. Not even Mia. Not yet.

    Beloved Jeopardy! champ Buzzy Cohen reveals the eccentric yet effective training method he developed to prep for the show, and empowers listeners to apply these techniques to train for their own challenges in this one-of-a-kind Audible Original. Tens of thousands of people take the online qualification exam for Jeopardy! every year, and only 0.4% of these hopefuls will appear on the show. But even after a nine-game winning streak and a victory in the Tournament of Champions, fan favorite Buzzy Cohen maintains that he wasn’t actually the smartest contestant in the bunch - he just “trained smarter" than his competitors with his quirky strategies and obsessive techniques, from wearing suits every day to studying while hanging from a chin-up bar. Once he realized how much could be accomplished with great preparation, he became a prep fanatic - testing his theories on everything from deadlifting to tap dancing. Here, Buzzy draws on his own experience as well as interviews with other top performers (from musicians and federal prosecutors to glassblowers and competitive coffee brewers) to teach listeners how the unique preparation method he developed can help them train for high-pressure performance situations in their own lives: interviews, exams, professional presentations, speeches, physical challenges, and more. In Get Ready, Buzzy has created a step-by-step guide to effective prep, proving it’s not innate talent or genetics that creates champions, but the best training. Are you ready to get ready? Language: English. Narrator: Buzzy Cohen. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/or/orig/000892/or_orig_000892_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

Paralympian, Helen Rollason award winner at Sports Personality of the Year 2012, Strictly Come Dancing contestant, charity fundraiser, inspirational public speaker, and so much more, Martine has emerged from unimaginable adversity to change her life, and the lives of those around her for the better. ungekürzt.

    It's the main event! The final leg of Gungren's three-part Fate Quest has been set in stone, and it's a doozy. The Ultimate Dragon Fighting Championship (UDFC) only occurs once every 10 years. This is the 100th running. That means lights, cameras, and coverage like never before. Plus, the reigning champion, a dragon known as Crazell, can hit a milestone of 25 consecutive title defenses, if she can pull in another win. The Fate known as Heliok has entered Gungren into the tournament, and the little giant must do his best to take home the prize. This is a problem considering that Gungren is not known as someone who enjoys hurting others. On top of that, there's a mob boss who has one of his own fighters in the match. As a general rule, crime bosses don't like to lose, meaning he'll go a long way to make sure his contestant comes out on top. Translation: There's a lot of danger in Gungren's future. While he doesn't have to actually win the tournament, showing up at all is a dicey situation. In fact, there's a better-than-average chance that he'll end up in the Afterlife during his first bout. But Gungren has little choice in the matter...unless he wants to turn back into a big dumb giant and lose his dream of becoming a full wizard once and for all. Note that the Ononokin series has adult themes and is not intended for children. ungekürzt.
