Kendall Aaronson is stunned by the intense attraction she feels toward two young men who visit her store. She isn't sure how to handle her emotions towards them and is most troubled by the obvious age gap - Kendall's thirty-two years old and she learns that both young men are college students. She may be uncomfortable with the situation but there's no denying the mix of excitement and apprehension she experiences whenever Joshua and Sutter are nearby - and they seem to be showing up everywhere she goes.

Joshua Reed and Sutter Campbell have a unique friendship. From an early age they've shared a bond that allows them to communicate without words - often simply through touch or even thought. They understand and appreciate their bond so when they meet Kendall and are about to `touch' her telepathically, they know that she's meant for them. What they don't expect is for their friendship to undergo some major changes and the resulting repercussions.

Kendall doesn't understand what's going on... even her dreams are filled with Joshua and Sutter and there's just no escaping the constant state of arousal she's been living with ever since she first met the duo. She finally caves in and officially introduces herself to them and they quickly become inseparable. She soon discovers that Joshua and Sutter have tamped down their own desires both for each other and career wise because of Sutter's father's influence in their lives. She has an idea for eliminating David Campbell's control over Joshua and Sutter's lives but David is one determined man and Kendall's interference is definitely not appreciated. Will Kendall be able to uncover the real reason behind David's closed-minded attitude before he destroys the newfound love that she has found with Joshua and Sutter?

Readers will fall in love with this trio and cheer for them through each challenge they face and conquer. Rachel Bo's DOUBLE JEOPARDY presents readers with a tantalizing story full of emotional encounters, unforgettable sex scenes, and characters you can't help but adore. I loved Kendall's take charge attitude and how she wouldn't back down to David. There's no doubt that she's a very strong woman and more than capable of taking on a powerful man like Sutter's father - and winning! It's very easy to lose yourself in this storyline and read it from beginning to end in one sitting and still want more. Fortunately, Rachel Bo continued this series with three other books so be sure to check out her website to learn more about them.

If you'd like to learn more about David's story and what's driven him to turn out the way he has then I'd highly suggest picking up a copy of DANGER IN DISCOVERY.

[Note: This review was originally written about the digital edition of this book.]

Kendall Aaronson felt an immediate spark of interest when Josh and Sutter entered her art gallery. But this was an unlikely match - what could these two "hunky" young men of college age see in herself, a Rubenesque woman of thirty-two? What was the attraction she felt, not just for one of the men, but for both together? As the relationship grows, Kendall, Josh, and Sutter discover a deep, soul-satisfying connection, as if the three of them were meant to be together.

However, Sutter's father, a well-to-do lawyer, cannot condone such an unusual arrangement, and throws as many obstacles as possible into their path. Can their love survive his hostility?

This novel-length story was very interesting. I don't usually like menage a trois stories, but this one was well told. I liked the characters - they are sympathetic and well written. I particularly liked Kendall--her low self-esteem due to her size and age rings true in our society, and I was pleased to see her confidence grow and flower as the story developed. The relationship is loving, and egalitarian, with no sense of force or coercion into "kinky" sex. The love scenes were extremely hot, and even the male/male sex scenes communicated sensitivity and caring among this loving group. -- Jean, Fallen Angel Reviews (courtesy of Fallen Angel Reviews)

the male/female/male idea is a hot fantasy. Double Jeopardy gives readers plenty of hot scenes on this subject matter but i want to add the story also shows readers the deep connection and love between these three people. kendall owns a bookstore. it is there she first meets Sutter and his long time friend Joshua. they're ten years younger than Kendall but from the very beginning Sutter and Josh knew Kendall was their soulmate. Sutter and Josh have a six sense where they're able to know what the other is feeling and thinking. when they stepped into the book store and spotted Kendall they felt it. she was the missing part of the puzzle. she was their soulmate. Kendall also felt it, yet was unable to identify what it all meant. coming to realize there was something special between the three of them Kendall, Sutter, and Josh moved in together. they loved one another, but Sutter's father was doing everything in his power to seperate his son from Josh. Sutter informed his father he and Josh were not gay but words weren't enough for David. when Kendall agreed to marry Sutter they thought his father would leave Josh alone but for some unknown reason(which you'll discover later in the story) he's set on getting Josh out of his son's life. shortly after another wedding takes place where the three are joined together. i throughly enjoyed everything in this book. the book is basically about the three characters but it does include Brandy, Kendall's best friend. Sutter's father, and a couple surprise characters. if you are a reader who enjoys a spicy hot romantic story that includes male/female/male sex you'll love Double Jeopardy Strength In Numbers. i consider this one of Rachel Bo's best book to date! if you haven't read it give it a try. you won't be sorry.

According to a poll taken of readers of "Redbook" magazine, family comes first. However, those polled revealed that they felt that the American family is in crisis right now. Stress comes from all sides: work, school, other family members who might become ill, etc. This book, a brilliantly researched and argued treatise on childcare in the 21st century in America, shows unequivocally that Americans need to focus on this problem. I was disheartened to read of 11-year-olds called on to take care of younger siblings while Mom and Dad work. I sympathize with the parents who are struggling to find ways to pay for daycare; I did that when my kids were 4 and 2.

This book is amazing. It synthesizes all of the various reasons that today's families are under more stress and strain, and how public policy can be revised to help. From drastically changing demographics, to public policies that have failed to keep pace, it covers a sociological history of family and work life over the past century. It also provides solutions for change. I see this book as a good starting point for researchers and policy makers to brainstorm on practical solutions. It's a useful resource for any lit review having to do with family and workplace politics, including school change, daycare change, elder care, and protection of the family unit. Great book. I felt hopeful by the end, in spite of all the work that needs to be done, b/c the solutions are possible.

This book brilliantly addresses the issue of a non family friendly society that focuses more on the tenents of capitalism than the health and well being of children. Excellent discourse, research, and recommendations...A must read for all who are interested in issues of disparity, family strucutre, health, and culture.

America's working families are in jeopardy, with children being raised in two-income households where both parents are working and workplace demands cutting into home life. The Widening Gap examines the lives and lifestyles of American working families, considering their class, ethnic background and family obligations. Case histories supplement analysis of modern gaps between workplace demands and family health.

Most people have a job that allows little leeway for spending necessary time nurturing children and older relatives when they need special help. After all, employers are hiring the employee, not the family. Right? Well, read on to learn what some of the consequences of that system are now.

Many people feel overwhelmed today by how to earn a living, take care of the family, and raise children. For women who work outside the home, a recent study showed that the average work week is 85 hours for work, commuting, home chores and errands. Even with that tremendous effort, what's to be done when your 7 year old suddenly becomes very ill at school? How do you get your child home after an after-school activity? If you don't have much money, who takes care of your 3 year old?

The conclusion of this book is that millions of children are being shortchanged in the process. And the children who are being shortchanged the most are the ones with the most significant needs and with the lowest-income parents. As a result, we face a future of underprivileged youngsters numbering in the tens of millions becoming ineffective adults, rather than having a society that provides equal opportunity for all based on their potential to pursue the opportunity.

The book is based on four quantitative studies, comprising interviews with a total of 7500 people. These studies focus on finding out how family needs are being met, and what the consequences are for children. These studies appear to be the first quantitative studies to take the anecdotal evidence we see all around us of problems, and find out what is happening to all of U.S. society.

Most U.S. children are being raised in households where every adult works for a wage or a salary. School days and school years are shorter than work days and years, so there are many uncovered hours. Half of those who would like help with child care cannot get any, adequate or not. Many of the rest have inadequate child care because adequate care is not available to them or too expensive. Children are mostly being left to fend for themselves. As the cases suggest, this is often dangerous. It is never good for the children.

When children are ill, they are sent to school anyway. If they need attention because of special or just doing their homework, often one parent has to work evenings or weekends and cannot spare the time to help out while the child is home from school. If the family only has one parent at home (as so many do in our divorce-riddled ranks), these children are raising themselves.

In addition, one household in four is helping an elder relative.

Children in school who are having the most problems are the ones whose parents are around home the least.

Life as an adult in these households is "predictably unpredictable." As a result, something unexpected happpens about once a week in 30 percent of the households that requires someone to leave work. The women in the family usually rise to the occasion. Their employers often take it out on them in terms of reduced promotions, raises, and security.

The U.S. model for dealing with this has been to either rely on employers to provide help voluntarily, or to ignore the issue. As Dr. Heymann points out, many employers are never going to see this issue as being in their self interest to solve. In fact, the problem is largely invisible because people who leave work to take care of parents or children rarely tell their employers that's what they are doing. Other excuses or no excuses are provided.

Dr. Heymann argues for increasing the social safety net to cover children better. Since so many people cannot afford or find good preschool care, she argues for this becoming something that the community offers . . . in the same way it covers the later grades. Since these formative years are very important, large educational gains should result. Dr. Heymann also argues for many kinds of paid leave from work to help children.

Beyond that kind of legislation, there are things that employers can do. Focus on output rather than attendance. Provide more flextime. Allow more work to be done at home.

Government can do more. Let routine administrative things be done by mail or telephone. Provide after-school care at no cost in every school. Have transportation so elderly people can get to appointments, and children can get home after the work day ends. Have teachers available to help students after school whose parents are still working.

Although the author did not suggest it, my reaction is that we probably need to start a large number of experiments to see what works well and what does not. These experiments could be funded by companies, company foundations, and community foundations. From such experiments, we can find the most effective ways to improve this crushing burden on the development of children and on their parents. Although the working poor need this help the most, everyone needs help in some instances. The question is simply what the best ways are to improve things.

Investing more in helping our vulnerable children and older citizens will repay us handsomely. Let's find the best way to do it!

The twins finally meet their mother in this book and something has happened to Ileana's powers....what happened? In the meantime, the twins have to save Dylan from danger when he tries to help someone. We also met some more family members in the DuBaer family. The ending was so sad. I think everyone should check out this book.

I thought this books layout was virtually enthralling. From the opening sentence I was hooked by Cam's and Alex's mixed up family tree and unpredictable powers. I found myself wishing that they could find their mother and become a happy family, even thoughh I knew that it was unlikely that would be the scenario. I encouarge anyone who enjoys the suspense of a mystery novel along with the magic that could only be matched by a J.K. Rowling book to pick up, not only this book, but the whole series.

I think that this is the best book its awsome the eding is sad but the first few chapters are really interesting its the easiest one to get into but read the books in order so you understand it. You find some really amazing things about Ileana aand you don't know what to think.I was shocked.I found out about Thantos and it really makes you think about him but anyway i dont want to give away all the good parts cause there are better ones that will make you wish all the books were out already.I hope that this was helpful [...].

This is better than the other books! I've never read anything with more suspense and excitement! This book will get you hanging on every word! I recomend this book to anybody who loves T*Witches! You won't regret it.

Hugh Gaitskell is largely a forgotten presence in the Labour Party of today but as Brian Brivati (intentionally or otherwise) manages to convey to the reader, this neglect may have something to do with the fact that this former British Labour Party leader had a style and a substance that has rarely been seen since. Although clearly not as sympathetic towards his subject as Gaitskell's earlier biographer, Philip Williams, he still leaves us with an impression of a man who was much misunderstood and maligned by many at the time in his own party.

Hugh Gaitskell was a passionate orator who for much of his life, struggled with the twin impulses to on the one side conceal that passion in favour of reason and sense, and on the other, to realize that that same passion could be useful as a political weapon to disarm his opponents not just in his own party but also beyond in the Conservative and Liberal parties of his day. For much of his short political life, Brivati contends that when the former wasn't predominating, the latter could appear to disastrous party political consequences. The dispute over 'specs and false teeth' around the time of Gaitskell's one and only budget points to the stubbornness of a futile passion for the Atlanticist policies of the post war Attlee Government over what could have been a more reasonable accommodation with Nye Bevan as the Minister for Health and powerful ex-officio leader of the Left. Gaitskell then went on to foolishly support the expulsion of Nye Bevan for his controversial attempts to foist a left wing direction on the opposition when Labour left office in 1951. Brivati shows us that the always deeply complex and fascinating Gaitskell was at his most ineffective when his drive for what was `reasonable' could become a `passion' not justifiable by the facts that at other times he could be equally passionate to elicit both from himself and others.

However, another more effective and controlled passion dominates his years as leader of the Labour Party afte! r 1955. See in particular, Brivati's account of the 1956 Suez crisis, the defense debates/ of 1960-61 and the famous Common Market speech of 1962. These controversies contain some of Gaitskell's finest and most brilliant speeches, and with the proper access to the video and sound recordings, this would be self-evident to anyone who listened.

Brian Brivati has written a biography from the perspective of someone who likes distance from his subject - he wasn't born until two years after Gaitskell died. The ultimate achievement of this biography is that it is finely balanced between the 'hero' of Philip Williams'' richly documented 1978 biography, and the villain of Michael Foot's biography of his 'hero' Nye Bevan. Unlike Brivati, both Williams and Foot had the fortune or misfortune to have known Gaitskell personally. Where these two had been inspired to write dramatically diverse but equally passionate accounts, Brivati 's sense of balance leads him to weave a careful line in and around the two sides to Gaitskell's reputation - both then and subsequently. He therefore succeeds in dropping by at both camps. Unfortunately. this approach is likely to be infuriating to the supporters of both left and right for its seeming willingness to play the part of appreciative guest at both houses and to then show that what was offered was far from being the poisoned chalice that each side would like to claim of the other. As an admirer of Gaitskell to the point where I once lobbied hard to meet his first major biographer, Philip Williams, I have to admit to sharing in that infuriation whilst also rejoicing that by the end, the side Brivati chooses to leave us with, veers more conclusively towards the 'hero'. In the final analysis, it is his interpretation of the depressing years for the Labour Party subsequent to Gaitskell's death in 1963 which become their own justification for why it is still hard for some people to move beyond their fascination with Gaitskell's style, democratic socialist beliefs and rare ! sense of integrity. Brian Brivati is no less caught and trapped than Philip Williams and Michael Foot once were.....

Hugh Gaitskell was leader of the British Labour Party from 1955 till his tragic premature death in 1963. That period, in which Labour was continuously in opposition, was marked by internal strife between Right and Left within Labour's ranks, on such issues as nuclear disarmament, with Gaitskell representing the pro-Nato, Atlanticist wing of British social democracy.
Brivati's book is a model biography: balanced, historically-informed, and original. It portrays Gaitskell as a politician of immovable convictions about the proper end-state of a good society, and fewer fixed ideas about the means to achieve them. Most important, it relates Gaitskell's ideas to the changes in western society that have taken place since his death, and tries to assess his historical significance. And it compares him with his obvious successor, Tony Blair, who succeeded where Gaitskell failed in getting Labour to jettison its historic commitment to public ownership. Brivati sympathetically portrays Gaitskell's revisionism, which was 30 years ahead of its time; his irrevocable commitment to the values of western liberal democracy, an instinct that led to his courageous and historically vindicated stand opposing unilateral nuclear disarmament; and his insights into the political implications of what was then known as the Common Market. But Brivati also makes a telling point that Gaitskell's belief in equality and indicative planning has been rendered largely irrelevant by modern economic developments. There are still aspects of Gaitskell's political judgement that are timeless strengths and that stand out from this book. Brivati comments, "Gaitskell's revisionism offered a process of asking of each institution and relationship in our society: What is it for? Who [sic] does it benefit? Should it be changed?" That process of interrogation is an essential one for a healthy democracy, even if Gaitskell's criteria for answering those questions have been superseded by events. Moreover, Gaitskell, so far from his image of a dry technocrat, was a man of passion combined with a critical intellect. Though the collectivist ideology that informed his egalitarian principles has now (as Brivati again rightly comments) slipped into history, the wish for a more tolerant and gentle society has not. To that extent, Brivati's book is an inspiring as well as a scholarly and informative read.

As the author of this title I feel required to add a little info to the listing supplied here. The book is meant to cover a wide variety of topics and should be adaptable for use at any level of chemistry. The format is similar to the game show Jeopardy, but has its own scoring system and can be used as a review for midterms, finals, or before chapter tests. It's fully reproducible so you can photocopy sections and hand them out to students to do as a worksheet or review without worrying about the legal ramifications of copying copyrighted material. Check out Walch.com and enjoy! Brian Pressley

This book is easy to understand but also allows for challenging work. It can give anyone a good lesson in Chemistry and also permit some fun to be had at the same time. All in all, a very high quality book that every teacher should use! MITTEN!!

This is a good book. It's definitely a page turner. It's an easy read mystery/thriller with interesting characters. The words of the author will grab you instantly.

Die, sweetheart, Die was a page turning mystery that told an excellent story of three women that did what they needed to due in order to protect themselves, and their families.

This was my first time reading any work by E. Hill. I thought the story was exceptional. I was so captivated with the characters in the book and their lives while reading that I never could put it down. An essential point about this book is that it is well written. This book was spellbinding it kept me wanting more. The suspensefulness of it is riveting.

It deals with domestic violence and the effect it has on women mentally and physically. It brings to light the reality of their issues and how true they are in this day and age. Three women become friends through their ordeal as abused wives. They meet at the shelter where they find refuge from their abusers after near death experiences. They are able to move forward and lead almost successful lives that are limited because of the torture they continue to mentally endure from their abusers. This story tells the many situations that women find themselves in everyday and the lengths they will go thru in order to survive.

There is a tremendously high rate of women that are abused. We should all have family and friends that are aware and in touch with all problems that exist within relationships and marriages. We should also be tolerant and perceptive to the needs of our moms, sisters, daughters and all women we know.

Women of today should be conscious of the support groups, shelters and agencies that are available to assist with these and all other types of issues. No woman or child should have to suffer any type of abuse.

This book has plenty of quizzes which I call quizzicals and tests, which I call ... tests. It is like the TV show, only without that annoying host. Thumbs up from me, eh.

This quiz book has a total of 12 complete Jeopardy games, complete with Final Jeopardy questions. As in the television show, topics are all over the board (pun intended), including things like "John Cusack Movies," "Crustaceans," "Boo!" (in which each answer contains the letters b-o-o). Each topic has five answers with space to write the question, and the correct question is on the back of the page, so there's no having to flip back to an index or anything like that.

While there may be better ways to prepare yourself for Jeopardy competition (reading reference books and atlases comes to mind), this is a wonderful entertainment and a great way to pass time while on the phone, in the doctor's office, or just before bed.

??? Pgs.

----Jeanty writes yet another story that truly opens the eyes of the reader from a personal stand point. This book will have all of the players out there thinking twice and praying infinitely. . . .

Putting together a captivating story that not only holds your attention but also teaches you as well is what Jeanty does best.

Sexual Jeopardy tells a story of best friends, Ronald and Myles, who are both players. After Graduating from College, they both decide to take a mini vacation to South Beach Florida where they meet two of the most beautiful women, Shauna and Chinelle (sp), who are also on vacation. They end up spending the entire time of their trips together.

After returning home, everyone keeps in touch; relations continues for both parties and Friendships flourishes. Will Ron and Myles fall for these two beautiful chicks or what??

Ron enters a very important segment of his life when he is faced with a huge dilemma. His skeletons will soon open the doors themselves rushing out of the closet. He deals with it in a way you would not believe, very clever. Jeanty Paints a well illustrated picture of Ron's character and to choose to feel it is no choice.

Myles on the other hand take life calm, cool and collected after all of his many flings.

---I think I have revealed just about enough for one to know that this is a good book. If you read a couple of books a year, you definitely want to make this one of them. (Promise)

Ronald and his best friend Myles are on vacation in Florida when they meet Shauna and her friend Chenille. Both girls are stunning beauties and being the players that they are, Ronald and Myles boost themselves up and step to the ladies although they are a little shy on money.
Ronald couples with Shauna and Myles with Chenille; they have such a good time in Miami. When the vacation ends they all head back home to New York. Myles begins to have feelings for Chenille but Ronald has seen past Shauna's beauty and brains and realizes that she worships the dollar more than anything else.

Anyway, Ronald wants to live a little and still be player, so he and Shauna remind friends for the most part. But fate has other plans for Ronald...he meets gorgeous Nia...and just when Ronald starts to get comfortable with his life he receives some very disturbing news that sends him into shock!!!!

Author Richard Jeanty has taken a very serious social issue and brought it front and center in this story.
The character Ronald placed himself in a life threatening situation, stupidly blinded by the thought that "if it's pretty and clean then it must be safe."
Mr. Jeanty took the time to explore the side effects of withdrawal from ones friends and family, dying alone and learning to forgive and reach out.

Richard Jeanty only touched on Ronald and Myles fractured friendship. When one friend was in need; the other wasn't there for him. The reader only got one friend's point of view on why this happened. I would have liked to have known a little more of what Myles was thinking...or was he just taken up with an overbearing girlfriend?

Bravo Mr. Jeanty this is an eye opening read with and excellent cover, one the young and old players out there need to read!!!

I have used this book and the questions for review for several years in a junior high classroom. Some questions were very hard, but it did keep the student thinking. The questions were set up by point for hardness making it a no brainer for using easily in the classroom. High school level would be perfect. I used it for review before section tests. The kids loved it. It got them thinking deeper (yes, I would stop and "debate situations and answers). Every 7-12 US History teacher should have and use this.

This is book four in the sensational Anna Fehrbach series and although this could be enjoyed as a stand alone thriller to really appreciate what Anna does in this novel you really need to know what she has been through in the past three novels. Angel from Hell the initial adventure is the book you really need to begin what will be one of the best reading journeys you ever partake in.

Timeline for this instalment is five years from when her family was first taken hostage by the Reich. It is late in 1943 when this story begins, for those familiar with the events of World War II this novel's pages time wise take place just before the Hamburg bombings and end in the early months of Normandy invasion so we can be assured there's still a few more books to go.

In this adventure Anna is assigned to journey to Switzerland with various valuable items stolen from those sent to concentration camps as Himmler is making sure he will be set up nicely if Germany is to lose the war. Her contact to Britain dressmaker Bartoli is proving more and more incompetent and Anna no longer trusts him or his wife meaning she is having severe difficulty communicating with the Allies. Meanwhile a plot to get rid of Hitler by those hungry for power within the Reich seems to be dragging Anna in and in turn she has to do unspeakable acts with Hitler to get close to him.

Read this series which has one of the best female characters ever written.
