If she builds it, they will come. A sex toy engineer with one big secret finally meets her match, and together they'll put their own products to the test in this steamy romantic comedy. Scout Porter is screwed. Not literally, of course. Literally, she's a twenty-six-year-old virgin, thanks to a relationship so disastrous she swore off love and sex for good. Metaphorically, she's screwed because the entire office of BuzzCorp, the sex toy start-up where she's head engineer, just found out. Scout needs her team to stay focused on their upcoming launch, not her lack of a sex life, so she finds the simplest solution: lose her V-card-and fast-then get back to business as usual. Enter Hudson Bailey, the nerdy and charming software developer hired to build the app for Scout's latest creation. The only problem is, he's as inexperienced with sex toys as she is with sex. Fortunately, he's all too eager to learn, and they agree that one very educational, totally professional hook-up will solve both of their problems. All for research, obviously. But their little experiment yields unexpected results-chemistry so off the charts Scout starts to think she might actually want more than just a one-time fling. When their budding relationship is threatened by the return of Scout's notorious ex, both Scout and Hudson will have to decide if they've reached their climax as a couple, or if they're willing to risk everything for a chance at true love.

*The limited deluxe edition includes inside printing artwork* Featuring the love story of the next generation of the beloved and iconic Off-Campus couples from The Deal and The Mistake - coming to TV on Amazon Prime in May... New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy returns with her signature heat and humor for a Briar universe standalone romance - where one unforgettable summer changes everything. Join us at the Logan family lake house in Tahoe... After a brutal breakup, college junior Blake Logan escapes to her family's lake house in Tahoe, determined to shut out the world.

This book is a basic course of Moroccan Arabic. Moroccan Arabic is the language used in Morocco for every day communication, but it is understood very well in Algeria as well. With this text book anyone can learn to speak and understand Moroccan Arabic. No prior knowledge of Arabic is needed, just the motivation to learn the language. The course aims at practical communication skills. After finishing this course the learner will be able to have simple conversations about everyday life with speakers of Moroccan Arabic. All explanations are very explicit with many examples, so a teacher is not absolutely necessary. With the help of a native speaker for pronunciation and conversation, any experienced language learner should be able to reach a certain level of communicative competency without taking formal lessons in an institution. This course is based on a grammatical approach and a notional functional approach. Grammar explanations and exercises are necessary because of the big difference in the grammatical system of Arabic as a Semitic language and German as a Indo-European Germanic language. A notional functional approach leads to learning results that are practically applicable since they aim at language use in everyday life. The vocabulary presented in this course is also aiming at practical topics like food, housing, family life, work environment etc. Moroccan Arabic in this course is written in an easy to learn transliteration, so the learner does not have to invest many hours in learning the Arabic script. Given the fact that Moroccan Arabic is only a spoken language, learning the Arabic script would be a loss of time. There are pedagogical reasons for this too. These are mentioned in the book. However, the listening texts in the course are also printed in Arabic script in the last part of the book. This course contains a huge number of exercises. Almost all of these exercises have a communicational component, in addition to the grammatical or notional/functional component and for almost every exercise there is an on line available recorded sound file with all the dialogues, interactions and sentences. The course is based on the following principles: Communication is the main learning goal. No foreknowledge of Arabic is needed It is a self study course It contains many exercises sound files available on line

Discover The Refugees (Level B1), an English learner's adaptation of the classic story by Arthur Conan Doyle, created for intermediate readers who want to improve their English while enjoying an engaging work of literature. Reading classic books in English can be difficult for learners. Original texts may contain unfamiliar vocabulary, long sentences, outdated expressions, and complex descriptions. This adaptation offers a more accessible way to experience Doyle's storytelling while developing practical English reading skills. Learn English Through a Classic Story The Refugees (Level B1) is adapted for readers at approximately CEFR B1 level. The language has been carefully simplified to make the story easier to understand while preserving its essential characters, events, atmosphere, and sense of adventure. Arthur Conan Doyle is best known as the creator of Sherlock Holmes, but his writing also includes adventure, historical fiction, mystery, and stories filled with danger and suspense. This adaptation allows English learners to discover another part of his literary work without having to struggle with the language of the original edition. Instead of learning vocabulary from isolated lists, readers encounter words and expressions in context. This makes the learning process more natural and helps learners understand how English is used to describe people, places, actions, emotions, and events. Designed for B1 English Learners This book is intended for learners who have moved beyond beginner English and want to become more confident reading longer texts. It can be used for independent study, additional reading practice, or as supplementary material in an English class.

Includes Exercises The book contains exercises designed to reinforce both the language and the story. Readers can check their understanding of important events, characters, vocabulary, and details. These activities make the book more than simple reading material. They encourage active learning and can help students review what they have learned. A Bridge to Original English Classics For many B1 learners, original classic literature can still be too demanding, while very simple graded readers may not provide enough challenge. An adapted classic offers a useful middle ground. The story remains interesting and substantial, while the language is presented in a form that is more approachable for intermediate learners. Regular reading at this level can help build confidence and prepare readers for more advanced English books. Whether you are studying English independently, looking for additional reading practice, or simply want to discover Arthur Conan Doyle in accessible English, The Refugees (Level B1) combines classic literature with practical language learning.

As a third-generation Chinese-American, Chris Joe grew up in Los Angeles enjoying wontons, roast duck, crispy pork belly, and more Asian classics with his family. From a young age, Chris learned first-hand the essential cooking techniques required to make these classic dishes from his grandparents, who settled in California as first-generation butchers and grocery store owners. After they had passed, Chris continued to study and practice those techniques, eventually devoting himself to learning the secrets behind the beloved dishes he grew up eating. Soon he’d perfected Egg Drop Soup (notoriously simple, but finnicky), hand-pulled noodles (intimidating, but do-able!), and even dishes inspired by his wife Kat’s Korean heritage like Korean Seafood Pancakes, or Haemul-pajeon. He mastered frying, velveting meats, folding dumplings, and more, and each recipe he conquered made him more confident and fearless in the kitchen. He wanted to inspire that feeling in others and began sharing his skills and his passion of Asian food on social media, and now has a huge and devoted audience of fans who love his approachable (and straight-forward) cooking style. In COOK ASIAN, Chris offers carefully crafted recipes and key tips (toss the noodles with oil before stir frying to prevent them from sticking! Salt the cucumbers for a crispier, crunchier texture!) to make sure readers not only know the how of each step, but also the why. From an authentic Wonton Noodle Soup and Chicken Karaage to Korean BBQ Beef (Bulgogi) and Pad Thai, Chris demystifies complex recipes with straightforward steps, and a “no-advice-left-behind approach” to inspire readers to build their own cooking muscle, and make these irresistible dishes part of their life, too.
