Second single off Mobb Deep's The Infamous Mobb Deep LP, out April 1.
Produced by !llmind.
Posted in Singles | Tags: illmind, mobb deep
Illmind always knows how to compose a beat around a certain style.
This is that M O B B ! Dirt
dope http://insite.bandcamp.com/
This was surprisingly good. I wasn't fully convinced after Havoc's first verse, but once they started bouncing off of each other I was sold. Beat's chill as fuck and Prodigy was actually rhyming, which seems to be a lot to ask for in recent years.
Track back to DEEP and beat cuts DEEP.... Sounds like throw back M.O.B.B.
For a second there I thought it was Pusha T on the first verse..
I was hoping to like this more, I'm not sure if the Mobb Deep sound fits into the new production style of 2014.

Kelly (Ava Gardner, who is no better than she ought to be but is just right for our raffish hero -- the Gardner role was originally played along franker pre-Code lines by Jean Harlow).

Mogambo is a silly, laid-back Hollywood romance with an exotic setting, but it's nonetheless quite affecting and satisfying.
Clark Gable reprises his role from Fleming's 1932 adventure in this colorful and enjoyable remake by John Ford, featuring great performances by Ava Gardner and Grace Kelly
staid, ridiculous
Too long and too ridiculous.
The easy rapport between Gable and Ava becomes the film's main selling point.
the film's travelogue footage is the only thing that seems to save it from pointlessness.
Pointless remake of Red Dust squeaks by on star power.
Audience Reviews for Mogambo
I found this movie boring, I didn't watch the entire movie I was too bored. This is one of those jungle pictures with a little romance thrown in, and not much more. I didn't like it.
MoreSuper Reviewer
Pretty good "white hunter in darkest Africa" flick with Clark Gable gathering wild animals for zoos while fighting off (or not) chorus girl Ava Gardner and little rich (married) girl Grace Kelly. Cool on-location scenes. This is a remake of Red Dust, a film also starring Gable as a rubber plantation owner, with Jean Harlow and Mary Astor filling the women's roles.

Report: Wright, Mets Agree To $138M, 8-Year Deal
David Wright and the New York Mets have reportedly agreed to a $138 million, eight-year contract that would be the richest in franchise history.
David Wright and the New York Mets have reportedly agreed to a $138 million, eight-year contract that would be the richest in franchise history.
So today is game 162 for your beloved New York Mets. The final day of the regular baseball season vs. the Miami Marlins
Another season of disappointment. Not that the expectations were that high for the Mets this year anyway, but they were in contention up until the all-star break. That's a lot better than anyone expected at the start of the season.
So let's not talk about the bullpen blowing up like a Thanksgiving float, and Jason Bay's batting average being less than your body weight. Let's not even mention the fact the the fences were moved in this year at Citi field, and they still only managed to hit 67 home runs at home. Don't even mention how the Wilpons were looking for minority share owners for the team. Let's not talk about losing Mike Pelfrey at the beginning of the season.
Let's list the positives shall we (like a true optimist):
So to almost everyone's surprise this season the New York Mets are 31-23. 8 games OVER .500 and are just percentage points out of 1st place (as I am typing this, the Mets are trailing the Cardinals 5-4 in a day game at Citi Field)
Stand-up comic and political satirist Bill Maher revealed that he bought a minority share of the New York Mets a few months ago.
This is an incredible time of year if you are a Sports fan. Baseball is officially underway. We have Basketball, Hockey, and even Soccer going on now. You want more? How about Monmouth Park Racetrack opens this weekend. We currently have 3 local teams in the playoffs. And of course the NY Giants just won the Superbowl a few months ago.

The people under the sign of the tiger like going straight. They would go straight forward instead of using some diplomatic means to overcome difficulties which usually make others unpleasant. But they can still finish the task at last. The talented tiger people are ambitions and never satisfied with the general working environment. So, you can see many of them play job-hopping regularly. In career, they usually choose large companies where they could show out their abilities fully and easy to be promoted to a higher position. The shortcomings for them are that they usually act independently, and don't take colleagues to heart as well as looking down upon them.
The tiger people born in different periods of a day have different personalities and fortune:
The tiger people born in the morning are ambitious. Although appears to be as tame as the cat and easy to be get along with, they are in fact on watch for others silently at times and wait for the coming of the chance to play up their accomplishments. Those kinds of tiger people are easy to be successful in their youth. However, because of the great ambition and an exaggerated idea of their own importance, there will be ups and downs in fortune. Also, due to these, friends and colleagues will keep away from them. So, they should try to change these weaknesses or they couldn't get help from others and success for long.
For the tiger born at noon, they are most blessed. They have no backbone and are depressed. You can see most of them are honest staffs living uneventful lives. But this is not a bad thing for them as they can live with serenity for a lifetime. The female tigers are always good-tempered and have a strong sense of self-reliance. They develop their talents well and can get great achievement in work. At the same time, they are good and great mothers.
The tiger people born in the evening usually succeed late in life as the good luck favor them late. Their childhood is full of sufferings. From the middle age, the situation will turn to be better. No matter tiger men or women, they love the power and like to handle others. Besides, they are fond of busy in work thus can making great achievements in career. The male tiger like to live without restraint, so they seldom stay at home. Because of this, they'd better find a family spouse to live harmoniously.
In terms of the relationship with the people under other animal signs, the people born in the year of the Tiger can be harmonious with the people born in the year of the Pig, Dog, Horse, Rabbit, Sheep, Rooster and the Tiger itself. The honest and nice Pig can usually help the Tiger to avoid doing things rashly and make the Tiger feel safe. The practical Dog can be good partner with the Tiger and is very loyal to him. What's more, they can not only restrain the Tiger, but also make them rational. The people born in the year of the Horse are active as the Tiger, but usually can forebode the danger much faster than the Tiger. So, the Tiger can benefit from the Horse from it.
However, the Tiger should never challenge to the Ox people, for the Ox would not tolerant the misbehavior of the Tiger and may destroy him. The Tiger is not compatible with the Snake as well. As the Snake is gentle, timid and calm while the Tiger is arrogant, it is difficult for them to live harmoniously. Another person that the Tiger couldn't be friend with is the Monkey. As the smart Monkey likes to laugh at the Tiger endlessly and the Tiger only knows to be angry as a result of being fooled.
Find your compatible zodiac signs according to your month.

Hello! I bought my first semi-automatic pistol at the Tulsa gun show earlier this month, a baby Desert Eagle 9 mm, having never held, much less shot any firearm previously. (Surely not a practice I'd recommend.) The same day I purchased the Desert Eagle, I went to a shooting range also for the very first time. Friends of mine who know firearms encouraged me to give it a shot, literally. I was really nervous because (a) I had no prior gun safety instruction, and (b) was only vaguely familiar with the gun itself. Luckily, the nice gentleman working at the range was kind enough to walk me through the basics. To my surprise, I was comfortable with the gun and shot pretty well, especially given the circumstances. That was April 1st. Again, not a sequence of events I'd recommend to other first timers.
Upon my return to Houston on April 2, I wanted to do this the right way and scheduled a one-on-one gun safety and basic gun handling instruction with Top Gun Range ASAP. The very next day, I had my lesson. It was an incredible feeling to learn from a professional and get my fundamentals down correctly. I went to the range three more times that week. Into my third practice day, I realized that I'm an ambidextrous shooter with a slight preference to the left. Since I'm left eye dominant, I decided to train as a lefty even though I write with my right. As a result, I bought a HK p30 9 mm, known for its ambidextrous configuration.
The next week, I ramped it up and had my second lesson which worked on my accuracy and speed at 3, 10, and 15 yards. It was awesome. I even ordered a kydex holster and mag carrier for my HK! (I did manage to sell the Desert Eagle and recoup my cost.) My dear husband teased me about my "little" 9 mm so I upped my shooting skills and bought a gorgeous Wilson Combat .45. That ended the teasing, LOL! A few more range visits with both pistols, and my 9 year old daughter expressed an interest in learning to shoot too. She had her first lesson April 14th and took a shine to the S&W MP 22. She's a pretty good shot and what they say about kids is true - they learn faster than adults! So it's great to make this a mom/daughter hobby.
On April 21, I passed CHL proficiency tests with both the 9 mm and .45, passed the written exam, and satisfied all the CHL application requirements. :). Oh, and I've also been practicing with the AR 15.
My current goals:
* I hope I won't ever need to use a gun for self defense, but I will be prepared to do so
* Become competition ready
Thanks for letting me share!
100 lbs. and prepared

Nicholas Henry, 15, remained listed in critical condition at University of Louisville Hospital Tuesday afternoon following a dirt bike accident that occurred near his home in Little Mount.
Emergency services were called to the home of Bruce Henry, located at 440 Whitetail Drive, Sunday at 6:30 p.m. in response to a teenager that had been hit by a sports utility vehicle while riding his motorbike. The caller to 9-1-1 told Spencer County Dispatch that the teen was not breathing.
The remains of Anthony "Tony" Reynolds, 36, were discovered early Saturday morning by a fisherman in the area where authorities began their search for the missing boater, said Officer Doug Detherage, lead investigator for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife.
I have been reading with interest all the differing views on the wet versus dry debate. I've been thinking about this issue ever since we moved here 12 years ago. I never heard of a dry county until then. I've also been thinking about the fact that there is virtually no place for kids/young adults to go to unless it's a church event or organized sport. I see these two issues merging into a single solution.
Upset favorites. A list of unforgettable shockers in sports. We all have them.
This week, in order, 10 favorites of mine.
10. 1958. Seattle, Temple, Kansas State were 1-2-3 favorites to win the NCAA basketball championship. At the Final Four in Louisville, Seattle ripped K-State by 22 points, Kentucky beat Temple 61-60.
Seattle was favored to beat Kentucky in the title game. Instead, John Crigler frustrated Elgin Baylor and UK won and made popular, The Fiddlin' Five.
This is the third year for our Apron Contest at the Red Scooter. We schedule it each year around Mother's Day to honor our "foremothers."
Aprons were such a huge part of our ancestors' day to day wardrobe. Many a tear has been dried by an apron.
Out of the 24 aprons entered, the winners are listed below:
• Our Antique Apron Winner was Hazel Slucher who brought in a child's blue floral bib apron trimmed in blue rickrack. She thinks it belonged to Martin Slucher.
Thirteen-year-old James Douglas Mitchell, of Waterford, died Saturday afternoon in Nelson County after being ejected from a vehicle in which he was a passenger.
Mitchell would have been an eighth grader at Spencer County Middle School this fall. Principal Ed Downs described Mitchell as a happy-go-lucky child that was well liked by his classmates.
"You couldn't help but like him," said Downs.
Spencer County is home to two of the 92 markets across the state that are members of the 2009 Kentucky Farm Bureau Certified Roadside Farm Market Program. The Spencer County Certified Roadside Market members are: Cheek's Produce and Deutsch Farm.
In the basement of Vincent Heuser's home in western Spencer County are scrapbooks, files, photos and other records that detail his three plus years of service in the U.S. Navy during World War II.
But the thing a visitor's eyes turn to first is a large painting of a sea battle that shows ships ablaze, Japanese planes diving toward U.S. vessels and serves as a vivid reminder of the sacrifices made over 60 years ago in a war that defined an entire generation.
Jocelyn Lyons, a former Spencer County Middle School administrator, has been selected as the new high school principal.
"We are so pleased to welcome her back to the community," said Assistant Superintendent Norma Thurman. "I think she's a very good choice."

Kansas St. Beats UTEP
POSTED: Friday, December 23, 2011 - 6:40pm
UPDATED: Friday, December 23, 2011 - 10:58pm
Miners To Play Tony Barbee And Auburn On Sunday
This time there was no magic in the Aloha shirt.
Despite Tim Floyd's floral attire, UTEP lost to Kansas State 78-70 in the semi finals of the Diamond Head Classic.
NewsChannel 9's Fred Albers has your highlights.
Angel Rodriguez scored 11 of his 16 points in the second half, and Kansas State survived a spirited UTEP rally before dealing the Miners a 78-70 loss in the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic semifinals on Friday afternoon.
UTEP will face Auburn in the third-place game of the tournament on Sunday at 5:30 p.m. MT. The game will be televised on ESPN2. Auburn, coached by Tony Barbee, lost to Long Beach St. 64-43 on Friday.
The Miners fell behind by 15 points (47-32) early in the second half, but battled back to take a 59-57 lead on a jumper by John Bohannon with 10:07 to play. UTEP and Kansas State were tied at 60 before the Wildcats scored 11 straight points to pull away.
"I was proud of our effort in the second half, but that's what you go through with young teams. You get it in spurts," UTEP coach Tim Floyd said. "We've been pretty consistent for five games, but the first half tonight we'd like to have back."
After running a variety of junk defenses in the first half, the Miners (5-6) went to man-to-man in the second half and gave the Wildcats (9-1) fits. Kansas State scored just 12 points in the first 10 minutes of the second half in being outscored 27-12.
"The man-to-man defense we played in the second half is who our teams have always been," Floyd said. "We've had to play more junk than we'd like to because of our lack of depth inside, but that's something we'll probably have to fight through all year long."
Rodney McGruder's jumper with 7:22 to play kick-started the 11-0 run after UTEP knotted the score on a free throw by Cedrick Lang. Martavious Irving connected on a three-pointer at the 6:39 mark, Adrian Diaz scored a jumper at 5:50, Diaz hit a pair of free throws at 5:21, Jordan Henriquez converted a dunk at 4:29 and the Miners were all but out of it.
"I thought their coach made a great adjustment against our full court pressure by sending his guards up the floor and putting us in two-on-one situations, which forced us to back off of our press a little bit," Floyd said. "We'd like to have a couple of shots back that we took in a 65-60 game that were really quick and outside of who we had been for 11 or 12 minutes in the second half."
The Wildcats outrebounded the Miners 39-21, took 16 more shots and capitalized with an 18-11 edge in second chance points. UTEP went to the line a season-high 34 times and made 25.
"We played a team that we knew was one of the most physical teams in the country and one of the best man-to-man defensive teams that I've played against," Floyd said. "They add to that by being a terrific, terrific offensive rebounding team. You can talk about it, but you can't duplicate it in terms of coming back to the glass."
The Miners placed five players in double figure scoring for the first time this season. Jacques Streeter scored 11 of his 15 points in the second half, while Julian Washburn added 13, Lang 12, Bohannon 10 and Michael Perez 10.
"Bohannon played better for us in the second half [10 points/four rebounds], which was encouraging," Floyd said. "I thought Cedrick Lang played solid for us offensively. Jacques Streeter is making strides."
Kansas State received a double-double from Jamar Samuels (10 points/12 boards). Eleven Wildcats played and 10 scored, while short-handed UTEP sent seven players out for 14 minutes or more.
"Kansas State has a nice club. I think they're probably a top-25 club in my estimation, and a team that should be in the NCAA Tournament," Floyd said.

A crazy guy and an impressive achievement.
A non stop circumnavigation against the prevailing winds with a relatively small and old boat:
Well this guy is maybe a bit mad (223 days alone) but its performance is impressive. Only 6 sailors had managed to do that before and he is the first to make it with a production boat, with the smaller one and most of all
without engine

The boat is a very interesting boat, an upwind boat and a boat able to sail in very light winds (narrow, light and with a lot of ballast), a Sharp 47.
The Sharp 47 is a Guy RIBADEAU-DUMAS design from the 80's, a very narrow aluminium (2.8m) sailboat and also very light (3400kg) with a 1.95m of draft.
He bought the boat in bad shape for 15 000 euros in 2010 and took about a year and a half to put it in good shape, with the help of fiends.

Stead happy to play waiting game
The 26-year-old striker has scored once having made two starts and a single substitute appearance for the Sky Blues. Stead signed on loan last month with a view to a permanent move in the summer, and he wants to see out the campaign before making up his mind. "Things are up in the air until the end of the season," he told the Coventry Telegraph. "I don't want to make a decision until the end of the season because I think that's the right thing to do. But in the off-season I need to be sorting myself out. "Everything has gone really well so far and there are a lot more games to go, but I am definitely enjoying myself here and I can see myself being here. But I want to forget about that decision for a couple of months and enjoy my football."

Steve Hochstadt: These two conservative propagandists know that the average reader, especially those who want to believe conservative ideas, won't or can't follow the trail backwards from their misleading writings to the real facts. They don't seek truth, they obscure it.
Is No New Taxes What Voters Really Want?
Steve Hochstadt: The voters spoke in November: They picked Quinn and a tax increase over Brady and no new taxes. One reason is that Brady could not identify for voters where he would cut much spending. The opponents of taxes did not propose any reasonable alternative to raising taxes to solve Illinois' debt crisis.

Good Morning, Broncos fans! The team reconvened for OTAs yesterday (video, photos) and by all accounts, the offense looked a bit out of whack. John Fox (video) acknowledged as much, and blamed the 4.5-day layoff.
Highlights of the session were a juggling interception of Peyton Manning by Mike Adams and a long TD pass from Caleb Hanie to Bubba Caldwell. Says Knowshon Moreno of changes in the offense and at QB from last season:
As you can see, it's a big difference. There's no wasted time. Everybody has to make sure they know what they're doing, know where they need to be.
Manning watched Brock Osweiler throw (video) and got in some extra work with Eric Decker and Joel Dreessen after practice; Mario Fannin is running well, although he says he's not quite 100 percent yet.
Along the defensive line, Ben Garland is currently weighing in at 305 pounds, while Sealver Siliga is apparently all the way up to 330-340 pounds from his listed weight of 307. According to Mike Klis, Buffalo tried to sign Siliga off Denver's practice squad late in the season, but the ex-Utah Ute teammate of Zane Beadles preferred to stick around.
Good Morning, Broncos fans! Denver hired Cory Undlin to be their new defensive quality control coach; Undlin follows new DC Jack Del Rio from Jacksonville, where he coached the Jaguars secondary last season.
This fills the vacancy created by the retirement of longtime defensive line coach Wayne Nunnely and subsequent shift by former quality control coach Jay Rodgers to replace him.
Prior to his three seasons on Del Rio's staff, Undlin worked under Bill Belichick and Romeo Crennel in New England in 2004 and joined Crennel in Cleveland for four seasons. Clearly, this is another successful effort by the hooded one to infiltrate Dove Valley with one of his spies. Look for Undlin to be Josh McDaniels's defensive coordinator with the Patriots once Belichick calls it quits.
Good Morning, Broncos fans! It's been a rough couple of seasons for Justin Bannan, the ex-CU Buff whose homecoming to Denver in 2010 was marred by the firing of Josh McDaniels and a 4-12 finish.
Of course, insult was added to injury when the Broncos dumped Bannan a few months later despite his status as one of the team's most solid players. Bannan ended up following McDaniels to St. Louis and enduring an even worse season, including a 2-14 finish and the firing of Steve Spagnuolo.
Prior to his first arrival in Denver, the four years Bannan spent in Baltimore had gotten him accustomed to winning, so naturally he tells Gray Caldwell that he's anxious for a better result in 2012.
As for the man who makes that turnaround for Bannan a likelihood, Peyton Manning is doing plenty to get his young receivers up to speed on running better routes and developing a QB/WR rapport like they've never experienced before.
Good Afternoon, Broncos fans! Pending NFLPA approval, the trade deadline will be moved this year from its traditional post-Week 6 spot after to after the conclusion of Week 8's games.
As Bill Polian tells Peter King in today's MMQB, had this shift happened last year, the momentous changes of the past offseason may not have come to pass for the Colts and Broncos.
Polian says that had the trade deadline been after Week 8 in 2011, the Colts would have offered Denver a third-round pick in exchange for Kyle Orton. A Broncos source tells PK the team would have gladly accepted the compensation, and if Orton had led the Colts to a better finish than did Curtis Painter and Dan Orlovsky, then Peyton Manning would theoritically still be a Colt.
Good Morning, Broncos fans! According to Lindsay Jones, Kevin Vickerson put a whopping 49 extra pounds onto his frame this offseason, bringing him up to 324 from his 2011 playing weight of 275. Big Vick had dropped around 20 pounds to get to that weight, but admittedly struggled last year before an ankle injury ended his season after Denver's Week 5 loss to San Diego.
Incredibly, Vickerson's substantial weight gain has been accompanied by a drop in his body fat from 37-40% all the way down to 24%. The pay cut accepted by the sixth-year player brings his 2012 salary down to $1.2M from $2.25M.
Good Morning, Broncos fans! Many of you have been with us from our modest beginnings, and some even know us from our earlier days at MHR. Of course, we are grateful to all of you for your continued readership, and for the new readers we've gained over the past twenty months or so.
Over that time, we have received many requests for access to older material, and we've hinted at providing it in the past. It's time we finally honor those requests by making that prior content available, including most of our pre-Fat Man writing and Ted's work on One Man Football. Unfortunately, his Smarter Fans columns have been lost to the ether.
Our archives will be evolving as we figure out more intuitive and thorough ways of organizing them, but for now our guess is the Fat Camp, Broncography and Mail Revue sections will be most appreciated. As always, TJ (Mark it Zero), Doc (Doc's Musings), and Ted's (Ted's Analysis) work can be found under the parenthesized headers. Happy reading, friends!
Update: For technical reasons, we've had to remove the "Archives" moniker, but the content is all there for viewing. As mentioned, we'll gradually make this all easier to navigate.
Happy Friday, Broncos fans! Now that it's okay to be honest about it, Mark Kiszla says the Broncos are better off sans Tebowmania, and do you see the position of that ball? Just, wow. Kiz observes that the chatter in Denver is about actual football rather than who's not dating whom. But since the Broncos' first OTA wrapped up on Wednesday, what else is there to talk about than young Teebs?
Timmy threw two picks when he should have checked down (sound familiar?) and worked as a punt protector yesterday during the open session of the Jets' OTA. After practice, the crisper Mark Sanchez conversed with Jets brass, while Tebow worked to maintain the polish on his image with the PR guy.
In other Tebow-related news, Olympian Lolo Jones says she still has her V card, prompting Timmy's Jets mates to suggest a potential love match; plus, Snoop Dogg Tebowed after throwing out the first pitch at Comiskey.
Good Morning, Broncos fans! Following the third and final day of Denver's first OTA of the year, Elvis Dumervil, Eric Decker, Demaryius Thomas, and Von Miller (videos) spoke with the press.
As will be the overarching theme for months (years?) to come, expectations have been raised with the addition of Peyton Manning. The other main commonality of the four players' comments was a discussion of their body weight, with Elvis (250, down 10) and Demaryius (228, down from 232, aiming for 222) shedding the pounds to increase endurance and maintain health. Thomas took on yoga during the offseason to help.
Doom says he's looking to cut down on processed foods, a societal problem one might not expect to find among professional athletes. Yet, a quick glance at players' Twitter feeds shows otherwise, and even in a post-Shannon Sharpe NFL, the guys who cook for themselves and/or employ nutritionists and/or personal chefs appear to be the exceptions more than the rule.
Good Morning, Broncos fans! After Denver's second day of OTAs, veteran defensive additions Tracy Porter, Justin Bannan, Mike Adams, and Drayton Florence (videos) all spoke with the media.
Naturally, everyone is happy to be on the same team as Peyton Manning and smitten with the idea of playing with leads. Regarding the league's decision to require thigh and knee pads in 2013, Porter already wears them and is fine with the mandate, while Bannan is skeptical about the benefits and is more concerned with the "integrity of the game," whatever that means. Florence isn't thrilled with the pads requirement and is adjusting to the new standard helmets, which are larger for concussion prevention.
Porter says he's already received plenty of welcome advice from Champ Bailey and admits he worried about a possible suspension in connection with the Saints' bounty system.
Good Morning, Broncos fans! Mike Freeman dropped something of a bombshell yesterday regarding the league's handling of the Saints' bounty system.
As told to Freeman by several Saints players, the NFL's suspension letters to Sean Payton, Gregg Williams, Joe Vitt, and Mickey Loomis essentially offers them a way back into the league in exchange for their silence.
These players believe the NFL has little or no evidence of a bounty system in New Orleans, and that much of the punishment was levied in response to the recording of Williams's notorious pregame speech from last season.
They also maintain that the league has overblown the supposed admissions of Williams and Anthony Hargrove, claiming the NFL wrote Williams's confession and that Hargrove did not acknowledge the existence of a bounty system, as the NFL has alleged.
Obviously this is just one side of the story, and it could be a coordinated PR stunt by a still-defiant team. Or, there could be some truth to it and the NFL is handling this all like a bunch of dirty cops trying to show they care about player safety. Hopefully we'll learn the truth one of these days.

"More of the Grayson Brothers - Good Series"
Sure, this is a solid work and I've downloaded the entire series.
It was good to hear Kyle's story especially as he lost out in the marriage department in the previous book.
A marriage of convenience…and intoxicating desire. He would show her every shade of love.
The last thing sawmill owner Kyle Grayson wants is a marriage of convenience, but a stroke of rotten luck leads him straight to the altar with his competitor's daughter, Amelia. Burdened by guilt over his part in her father's death and an intoxicating desire for his new wife, Kyle doesn't think things can get worse - until his beautiful bride refuses to consummate their vows.
Amelia's struggle to hide her emotional wounds brings out the protector in Kyle, drawing them into a spirited romance neither anticipates. As they unravel a mystery at the mill and their own conflicted feelings, unexpected secrets threaten to shatter their fragile marriage. But Kyle is determined to fan the flames of their fiery attraction and show his reluctant bride every facet of their undeniable passion - and his love.
Yes, she is an above average performer. Each character has their own voice - the only drawback is that she is slow and makes the story drag a bit.
This is a nice series. I really enjoyed the first book -Shades of Honor- more, perhaps because it was a bit racier.
I recommend this series as 'creditworthy' with confidence.
"Average - Is It Me? Has This Genre Run Its Course?"
It may just be me, but this is another run-of-the-mill rich man meets poor woman – everybody has issues. No one trusts each other, but what does it matter? Everything is kinky in the bedroom.
The only difference with this book is that the father of the adult children had two families at the same time and chose one over the other. The un-chosen families son is bitter about that.
I cannot add to the description so I encourage you to read the publishers summary because
it does more than I can to describe the book.
Publisher Summary:
New York Times Best-selling Author Carly Phillips turns up the heat in her newest sexy contemporary romance series, and introduces you to the Dare family…siblings shaped by a father's secrets and betrayal.
Since finding out his father had another family on the side, Ian Dare swore to be the upstanding, responsible man his cheating parent had never been. When it comes to his relatives, he gives his all but in relationships he offers the bare minimum. But one glimpse of sensual Riley Taylor arouses his dominant and protective instincts and Ian is entranced. He will do anything to possess her…and does. But any future with Riley must include him extending an olive branch to the half-brother who is a constant reminder of the pain he'd rather forget.
Independent and always in control, Riley Taylor makes no apologies for choosing men carefully. Relationships have never been a priority and she believes herself hardened to domineering men - until she meets charismatic Ian Dare. He manages to turn a simple kiss into an all-out assault on her senses and when he takes control in the bedroom, she's stunned to discover she likes it. As their affair heats up, they soon realize they complete each other in ways neither imagined. But Riley's past is closer than she cares to remember, and her struggles with Ian's dominance might just cost her everything.
The one bright spot is the narrator, who does a fantastic job with the characters in spite of being another, rather boring books in this genre.
Notes: Mature themes and strong language
Credit worthy/$: Neither, in my opinion, I am burned out in this category but if that's what you will enjoy - you may like it

"Fantastic! Sharp Clever Hilarious Sassy Chic Lit"
As I listened to this book for a second time I thought I would skim through it to give a review. However, I was easily snagged in again by the great writing and narration.
It's a Waverley Life is smart, hilarious and very sassy. The relationships of Waverly to her coworkers, her boyfriend, her best friend, her dad and her friendly neighbor are all interesting, intertwine and work perfectly.
Waverley and her friends are at a point in their lives where they start to go in different directions: One is married and expecting, one is "empowered" in her promiscuity and then there is Waverley - a gossip columnist who is scared that her sometimes boyfriend may not stay her boyfriend anymore.
While this is Chic Lit, in my opinion, it touches on a few serious issues in a lighthearted and respectful way.
As Waverley begins to learn more about herself through her different relationships she begins to question and answer some of the views that she always had.
I would easily recommend this book to anyone. It is also easily rated five star in all three categories. Story, narration & overall. It is fantastic.
Notes: There there is an minimal talk about sex – six or seven lines about it. But other than that I have no warnings.
Credit worthy/$: As with most of my books, I took a chance on an unknown (to me) author and got this on sale. Having read it I say yes to credit worthiness and/or buy.

"*Review* Storm Series Better Than The First"
Underneath It All is the second in Cassandra Carr's Storm Series. While I like the first book I really found this to be an improvement. Maybe it was the more believable storyline or a stronger set of characters, I'm not sure. As I said I like the first one but found this one even more of an improvement.
Please don't let the cover turn you off. I'm not sure who picked out these models but they do creep me out just a tiny bit.
Good story, good writing a bit of a plot and lots of naughtiness.
The narrators were fun and I enjoyed how they played off of one another. Thumbs up
Notes: Some descriptions of sex & some instances of strong language
Credit worthy/$ : These are shorter than I would use a credit. I would not pay $19.95 for this book. Fortunately, *I was gifted a copy from the author for my thoughts and opinions.*
Thank you for reading this review if you have found it helpful please select yes at the bottom line. Thank you.
"*Review* Average to Good C+ to B-"
*This book was a gift from the author and I promised to give it a review after I finished listening to it.*
This is book one in the Storm series. Audible does not recognize it as a series yet so if you decide to listen to them listen to this book before Underneath It All (Book 2.)
First of all don't let the cover art scare you off, the guy is a little bit creepy in my opinion
Sarah is a math geek and loves hockey - she lands a job with the Buffalo Storms.
Sebastian is a rookie player who is constantly hoping to receive a permanent spot in the NHL.
It is love at first sight for the both of them but Sarah has some trauma from her past that she needs to deal with. To complicate things even further, she is 10 years older than him and doesn't know why he would be interested in her at all.
It takes a wild, four months for them to become intimate and then the politics of working for the same team and mixing business with pleasure is another wrinkle in their relationship.
Sarah begins to let her guard down. Their relationship progresses with coming to terms with making their relationship public. Something happens to Sebastian and Sarah finds yourself in the reverse position.
If you are looking for a book that is 100% sex then you will be disappointed by this book. If you enjoy a romance with a bit of spice, then you will probably like this – there are some descriptive sections.
I enjoyed the dual door narration between a male and female performer. This doesn't always work but for this book it did.
Notes: some descriptions of sex
Credit worthy/$ : Probably not for this one, the book falls between categories – it is not young adults but it is not contemporary smutty romance. The hockey talk is pretty true to life from my limited experience working in an athletic ticket office.
If you found this review helpful please select yes immediately following this line. Thank you.
"Master of Her Craft Lorelei James Delivers Again"
Another great installment from the master of her craft, Lorelei James. After listening to the previous book in the series -Cowboy Casanova- I was a little concerned that (as it wasn't my favorite) the good stuff had taken it's course. I am so glad to be wrong!
Georgia meets, Tell the cowboy, as she is doing publicity around town for some events. She and Tell have known each other since high school. Where Tell felt that Georgia had taken advantage of him by asking for his homework etc.
Tell is wary of Georgia coming back to town. It was bad enough when they were in high school but she comes in with the plan.
These are so much fun that I don't want to spoil it for you by revealing too much. There is some hot action. There is a lot of give-and-take and several misunderstandings that result in a bit of dialogue.
Rebecca Estrella is what she is and does what she does. I have to listen to her at 1.25X-1.5X speed, it makes it a little bit better.
There are enough twists and turns. I'm still confused as to who this guy is and his relationship to the Mckays. I think he is a first cousins with the original (C & K) Mckays that we were introduced in the beginning and early books in the series,.
This book is pure romance and seduction with lots of bad words and many descriptions of intimacy.
Credit worthy/: I have enjoyed the series and I believe I bought this the day came out on audio. I'm completely content with my purchase.
"In the Style of Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plumb"
One of the teachers at a private boarding school for girls has been murdered. An alumni, Susan, is out to investigate on her own and find out who done it.
This is a well-written, chick light book. It was delectable and a great nice, funny (not that murder is funny) ride that keeps the attention of the reader and I was guessing until the end.
The narration by Barbra Benjamin-Creel was charming and enchanting among a wide variety of characters.
While this was a nice book, I doubt that I will continue with this category of book only because my taste tends to run a bit darker.
Notes: nothing to worry about here.
Credit worthy/$: This is a tough one, it is sharp and entertaining but not anything I would use a credit or my cash on it as it is only 4+ hours. *However, I received free copy off this book in exchange for my thoughts and the review.* I really enjoyed it.

This is a very sweet, romantic book about selling a house that has been in the family for many years many generations.
Allie is hired to the household of a family generational estate until it is sold. During that time she has a bit of a love triangle with the two brothers who are trying to sell it. Kip is always around and she likes him very much. However Robert, a globetrotter and businessman has her heart racing whenever she sees or speaks with him.
Allie is easily and quickly feeling the sentimental value that the matriarch of the family has for this home.
Relationships are quickly formed and decisions are made including Allie trying to find a way to keep the house from being sold without showing her intent.
Very nice, sweet romance for any audience. It is without any graphic descriptions, there is no premarital sex or inappropriate behavior. There are no swears or suggestive inappropriate situations or positions.
A really nice read especially during the holiday season.
Terry gives a great performance based on the many characters and the diversity of them that she is required. From the elderly matriarch of the family to adult men and women & children. They are all immediately recognizable based on her performance. If I shut this off for a few hours and had to dive back in, it only takes a few sentences for me to understand who is speaking and I am quickly caught up with where I left off. A fantastic performance.
Notes: no warnings here, light and sweet romance
Credit worthy/$: I like my books a bit more racy so I so I probably would not spend any money or a credit for this book. However I would highly recommend it to any of my friends or family without pause. It is worth the money or credit if this is your genre.
*I was given a copy of this book in exchange for my thoughts, feelings and opinion laid out above.*

"Sexy Hilarious Everything Tangled Perfection!"
This book is told from a man's perspective so it is crude at best and raunchy at worst and I loved it!
It begins with the hero, Drew, having the "flu "and he begins retelling telling the story of Kate. But first we are treated to a series of his "dating" life and how he met Kate… Anything else will spoil
This is a funny book on top of being a great romance from the perspective of a playboy. The best line in the book for me was when they were debating whether one is masculine. He gives a long list of masculine people and the one that sent me to giggles with Hillary Clinton (like her or not it was hilarious answers.)
Sebastian York is a fantastic narrator definitely worthy of five stars. His men are men and his women do not sound like effeminate men. He does a fantastic job
Notes: Detailed descriptions of sex, strong language and NC-17 or older listening audience
Credit worthy/$: If you know what you are getting into is crude, if you are not offended by crude descriptions and want a descriptive romance, then yes, yes on the credit & yes on the out right bye. However if you want a romance that eases you in and sweetly holds your attention then this is probably not for you.
"Love This Book Cannot Wait To Get The Rest"
Love, love, loved Tangled! In my opinion the narrator did a fine job telling the story. Several reviews are critical of her performance of male characters but I did not find that distracting at all. Sophia has a wide range of characters to perform from a grandfather and grandmother their sons and daughter and several children and I cannot find or think of one instance that was lacking.
I am from the coast, not North Carolina, and selection of this rings true from the small-town gossip (much nastier in real life) to the tourism industry.
Two people from away are moving to the island. The families have been there for generations and the push/pull from staying in the family tradition or moving away to pave a path away from the island. It was all very true to life.
This is the first in her series and the rest of them have already been added to my Wish List! I cannot wait to hear more about the Fletcher family.
Credit worthy/$?: I bought this more than a year ago and the author was not someone I have heard of before buying this book. I must have gotten a really good deal on it. Either way they are credit worthy and/or $.
This is far less intense then the books I normally listen to. It is more romantic than the descriptive however there are a few scenes that you will not want playing if your children are around.
Notes: A few mature scenes
"*Review* Another Motivational Book That Surprised"
The Personal Experience Effect is another book that I was not especially interested in but was pleasantly surprised. I found the content to be very, very interesting. Jim Joseph has created a marketing experience from big companies to personal, individual experience.
The Personal Experience Effect was full of past and contemporary figures who have created their own marketing profile. This profile can be successful or not based on their actions. Joseph introduced failed marketing experience with successful one.
Thankfully he points out that he advises against taking controversial stands for those in Hollywood and other media and explains why this is not a good idea for most in that industry.
He also points out political figures and how they have market themselves. One of my favorites examples included James Carville. Joseph explains that how Carville's marketing persona and beliefs led him to be successful for his Democratic counterparts (working for P. Clinton.) Likewise, (this has always fascinated me) he has a successful marriage to Marie Matlin. His polar opposite in political policy- wife, who is an extremely smart, Republican contributor (working for 3 Republican presidents-Reagan, Bush 41 and Bush 43.)
They have both had tremendous success in their opposing political views-each work. Yet, they are happily married with a couple of kids. They have found a way to put their Personal Experience stands aside and have a successful family life because they can separate their personal experience from their public experience.
Once again, Jay has a professional, consistent performance. He is taking care to engage the reader.
Notes: This recording comes with a PDF file so one can highlight the areas they find most useful.
Credit worthy/$ : I would not use a credit on this as it is less than five dollars. However, it is just over two and a hours long. It is fantastic advice with real-world examples. I was fortunate to have been *offered the opportunity to listen to it in exchange for my observations, thoughts and review*. I WILL refer to this book in the future.

Queen of the Jungle
Fan Art
Cartoons & Comics
Movies & TV
Tarzana sat up in the highest branch of the tree, staring out at the jungle that had been her home for so many years. She could never imagine a life any different. Clinging to the vine, she heard the soft rustling of her mother, Kala, behind her.
"Why didn't you tell me there were creatures who look like me?"
It had happened like this.
Years and years ago, a ship carrying several passengers was set ablaze by lightening in the midst of a storm. Many of those aborad had been killed, except for one man, his wife and their baby daughter. They had been able to get to one of the lifeboats in time and that had brought them straight to the shores of Africa. Determined to survive, the man and woman had constructed a treehouse from the wood of the boat and whatever else they could lay their hands on. However, unknown to them, the wicked leopard Sabor, who had a taste for humans and apes alike, set her sights on the unsuspecting family. The pair of them had fought bravely, but had been killed. The baby had survived, hidden away in her make-shift cradle. That same night, Sabor had killed a tiny baby ape, belonging to Kala and her mate, the silverback Kerchak. Kala had been so deeply cut by their child's passing that when she had heard the baby girl crying in the treehouse, she had followed it and found the child. But Sabor had also heard the baby crying and returned to kill it. It had taken all of Kala's strength to save both herself and the child from Sabor. She had taken the baby back to the family and raised her under the name Tarzana. But one person was reluctant to accept her into the group; Kerchak. He had a distrust for anything different and, to him, Tarzana was just too different. The fact that, at a young age, she had almost killed the family by upsetting a herd of elephants and causing them to stampede had done little to get her into his good books. In time, she had learned the ways of the jungle, with help from her friends Terk and Tantor. But it wasn't until Sabor had tried to attack the family that she had finally been accepted by Kerchak. How brave she had been then, with a spear as her only weapon whilst sabor tried to slash her and bite her until at last Tarzana had killed the leopard, much to Kerchak's amazement.
And now, something else was happening in the jungle. There were people who looked like her there. She had happened upon a group of three of them and been able to observe them from afar. The first she had seen was a woman, tall, strapping, more like a man than a woman; dressed in funny long clothing that separated both her legs like a loincloth and weilding a strange stick that was grey in colour and made a terrific bang noise. Her hair was black and her eyes were somewhat noble but frightening. The second was a small man, older with white hair and a somewhat bumbling attitude. But his eyes had been wise and friendly and she had felt trust in him. The last had been a man unlike any she had ever seen; not that there had been many. But he seemed pleasant and kind, although a little scatterbrained and very interested in the jungle, well, he and his father (for that was who she now knew the other man to be) had come to "study" the gorillas, apparently. She didn't know what the word "study" meant but she felt that it must be something good. Unlike the woman with the gun, who seemed more intent on banging her stick at any noise that she heard. The younger man had stayed behind to sketch Manu, the baby baboon, who had then run off with his papers and brought some of the more vicious members of his family running. They had attacked the young man but Tarzana had rescued him in a thrilling chase through the trees that ended with the baboons all falling to the forest floor and Tarzana and the man up in the safety of a nearby tree.
She could remember even now how he had babbled in some srange language that she didn't recognise. In her curiousty, she had examined him, physically, touching his limbs, his face, his chest, his...well, for some reason he had never let her hands get that far! And then she had noticed how alike his hand was to hers; she had pressed hers to his and they had both stared at the almost perfect symmetry of their hands. And then he had looked into her eyes with his deep blue ones and she had felt a sense of mutual understanding with him, even though his next lot of speech had sounded like gibberish. She had leaned against his chest, heard his heartbeat, tried to get him to hear hers but he had pulled away at once, looking startled and flustered.
"No, no, really! This is most unorthodox! My word, look at the state of me! What must you think?"
He had started to wipe the rain from his face and tidy his clothing. She tried to copy his words; although they had felt strange on her tongue.
"What must you think."
"I don't know, really, I mean I almost-" he broke off and looked at her. "You...you do speak? I thought...that is...so you're clearly not some savage wild woman, well, not savage, I mean-"
She had placed her hand on his mouth, silencing him. "Tarzana," she had said, pointing to herself. He stared at her in confusion. She tried to make him understand again. "Tarzana!"
"Oh, I see!"
"Oh I see?" She indicated herself. "Tarzana." She pointed to him. "Oh I see!"
He understood at last. "No, no, no; I'm John."
"No, no, no; I'm John."
"No, look," he pointed to himself. "John."
"Exactly." He nodded and she understood.
A terrific bang had brought him back to his senses and she was able to understand that he wanted to go in the direction of the sound. So she had taken him; and he had caught a glimpse of her communicating with Terk and Tantor and she had caught a glimpse of his father and the woman with the stick again before the other gorillas and Tantor had ushered her away...
Kala sighed. "I'm sorry, Tarzana, but I didn't think I would ever need to. There were no others around when...when you were born."
Tarzana pondered it all night. Something about that John had touched her inside and she longed to see him again. It was just after the sun had come up that she made up her mind. Kerchak had told her to stay away from the humans but she didn't care.
She found her way easily back to their camp. Professor Porter and John alike seemed pleased and astonished to see her. But the woman, whose name was Clayta, seemed frosty and hostile and kept showing her pictures of gorillas, which she couldn't understand her reason for. The Professor, on the other hand, with help from his son, showed her the wonders of the world, all of his studies (the word he explained to her later when she began to speak English was a term for oberving a species closely and finding out all about that species from the observations) and all sorts of things about countried and places and things that she never knew existed. John began to teach her how to readna dn to speak their language until she was almost completely fluent. The days flew by and with each one, she discovered something new and exciting. In return, she showed John so many beautiful things in Africa; views and birds and animals that he could sketch and she taught him to swing properly on a vine. It wasn't long before she realised just how much she wanted John, and the Professor too, to stay with her in the jungle.
One day, when she came to the camp, some other men were packing up the camp. John and the Professor were arguing with a man in a flat hat and as Tarzana approached, she overheard their conversation.
"The boat leaves now; we can't afford any delays!"
"But we haven't seen a single gorilla yet!"
"All this way for nothing..!"
"Look!" The man in that hat snapped. "I don't make the rules. The boat's going to leave whether you lot are on it or not!"
"What's going on?" Tarzana asked as the man strode away. John turned to her and breathed a sigh of relief. "Tarzana, I was worried you weren't going to show up. The boat's arrived to take us back to England and, well, Father and I were wondering, well, I was wondering, we both were wondering if you'd come with us?"
"To England?"
"And return tomorrow?"
"Oh. No, no, Tarzana, it'll be very hard to come back, well, ever."
"But-!" Tarzana grabbed his hands. "Please stay here! With Tarzana!"
"I-" John got unsteadily to his feet. "I can't. I'm sorry."
He walked very quickly away from her. Tarzana sat back on her heels, watching him go. Her heart began to beat faster; no! No, she had to stop him from leaving! She was getting to her feet when she bumped into Clayta.
"Wait, wait, Tarzana; dear, dear, you look anxious abotu something. Here, take this." She handed Tarzana a glass of wine and took a glass herself. "So, what is it? Are you sad because we're leaving?"
She nodded. "Because John can't stay with Tarzana."
"Only one thing could make him stay. If he could only see the gorillas."
Tarzana, in the past, whenever they had asked her to take them to the gorillas, had always declined because she knew that Kerchak would be angy. But if this was the only way to make John stay...
"No! No! No!" Terk shook her head. "It's a bad idea!"
"Please, Terk!" Tarzana begged. "All you have to do is distract Kerchak and lead him away from the family."
"And for what? Those hairless creeps?"
"They are not hairless creeps, Terk; they're not that different to us!"
"Aw! Isn't it romantic?" Tantor sighed. "Our Tarzana's in love!"
Tarzana flushed but she didn't deny it. "Come on, Terk, I trust you."
Terk sighed. "Oh, fine, fine!"
So it was arranged that Terk and Tantor would borrow a few bits and bobs from the camp to give themselves the appearence of humans. The second Kerchak saw them, he let out a roar and gave chase. Tarzana, meanwhile, led her friends to the gorilla teritory. Kala, and some of the others at first, were terrifyed of the humans, but slowly they came up, curiously and interacted with them in their own ways.
"Most interesting!" the Professor declared as a gorilla began to groom him. "John, look, they're initiating me into their daily grooming ritual! Clayta, look!"
"Very interesting, Professor," said Clayta, who was busy making a map of the layout on a piece of paper.
John watched Tarzana playing with some baby gorillas and spekaing to them in their language. "Can you teach me?" he asked, presently.
"To speak gorilla?"
"Alright. Oo-oo-ee-eh-ooh."
At once the baby gorillas began to chatter and jump all around John excitedly. He looked at Tarzana. "What on earth did I say?"
"You stay. With Tarzana."
"What? No, look, Tarzana, I thought we'd been through this. I can't-"
But suddenly Kerchak came crashing through the undergrowth, chasing Terk and Tantor. Tarzana leapt to her feet as the gorillas began to scatter. Kerchak turned to John, who was nearest, but Tarzana leapt on him and held him back. "Go!" she shouted. "Go, John, Professor, go!"
They ran for it. John looked back only once. His eyes met hers...
Kerchack, breathing heavily, shook Tarzana off with an angry growl. "I told you to stay away from them and you brought them here! You betrayed us all!"
"But they-!"
Kerchak gave a mighty roar that silenced her and caused everyone else to cower in fear, even Tantor. "You have a choice to make, Tarzana! Either stay with us or go with them; decide it by tonight!"
Kala was crying as she sat outside the treehouse that Tarzana's human parents had once built. Tarzana explored it in silence, touching things here and there that she must have touched once but couldn't remember. Finally, she took one of the dresses from the floor and put it on. Her decision was made. She bade a tearful goodbye to Kala, with the reassurance that they would never forget one another and left, hiding her own tears...
"You'll like England," John reassured her. "People from all walks of life will want to meet you."
"Yes, yes," the Professor agreed, cheerily. "Why, I daresay even the Queen will want to meet you."
Tarzana looked back at the jungle for what she felt would be the last time before she scaled the ladder. A ghastly sight met her eyes. The deck was filled with cages; the crew had been tied up and some men were wrestling the Professor and John down into the hold of the boat. "Tarzana!" John cried.
"John!" Tarzana ran forwards, fighting off men, left and right but they were too strong for her and outnumbered her. As they caught her, a voice said "What's going on here? Ah, Tarzana!"
"Clayta! Help us!"
Clayta smiled grimly. "These cages are for your furry friends. They'll be worth a fortune once we get them back to England!"
Her shout was so loud that Tantor and Terk heard it back on the shore. They came charging through the water to the rescue. With an elephant and a gorilla on their side, fighting off Clayta's men was easy; but some of them still got away, Clayta included. "Hurry!" Tarzana cried, running to the side of the deck. "They'll hurt the family!"
Kerchak was the first to detect their arrival. He stood strong but a cage landed on him, trapping him. The gorilla teritory was in uproar when Tarzana suddenly leapt into view and freed Kerchak. "You came back," he said, in amazement.
"I came home," she replied.
It was the most terrific battle the jungle had ever seen, with the Professor riding Tantor and shouting "Charge!" at every oppertunity, Terk scaring some of the ment into a cage by pretending to be rabid and John freeing Kala from her cage after knocking out her captors, with Tarzana's help. Clayta growled. "I've had just about enough of you, wretch!" she said aiming her gun.
Kerchack ran forwards
There was a BANG!
Kerchak fell
With a howl of rage, Tarzan threw herself at Clayta, knocking the gune from her hands and smashing it into pieces. Angrily, Clayta drew her knife and slashed at Tarzana, catching her arm. They battled it out through the trees; Tarzana threw vines at Clayta to hold her back. Clayta began to slash through the vines with her knife, not realising that one was around her neck. Tarzana saw it. "Clayta, don't!"
But her cry came too late
On the ground, the gorillas gathered around Kerchak's body. Tarzana ran to his side. "Forgive me," she wept.
"No, forgive me," he murmured. "I should have realised all along that you are a part of this family. They will look to you now."
"No, Kerchak, no..."
"Take care of them, my daughter."
So saying, Kerchak slipped away in her arms...
On the shoreline, a small rowboat awaited the Professor and John. The Professor admitted that he was sorry to have to leave such a fascanating country and especially Terk and Tantor, whom he had grown rather fond of. John hesitated on the sand, facing Tarzana. "I'll miss you," he admitted. "So much."
"I'll miss you too." Tarzana took his hand and pressed her palm to his, in the same way she had done when they first met. John hesitated and then walked away from her. Tarzana watched him go, knowing that nothing she could say or do would stop from from leaving her.
"Goodbye, Tarzana!" called the Professor from the boat. "You know, son, I'm going to miss that girl."
"So am I." John took a deep breath and began to put on his travelling gloves, just for want of something to do. His father watched him. "You know, son, I can't help feeling that you should stay."
"Father, I can't. I belong in England with you and people and..."
The wind caught his glove before he could even put it on. It floated back to Tarzana on the beach. She picked it up. Their eyes met. John sighed.
"But you love her," his father reminded him.
That was all the encouragement that John needed. He hugged his father goodbye and then jumped from the boat, striding through the water as fast as he could. Tarzana waited until he was right in front of her and then leapt on him, knocking him down, John laughed, grabbed her to kiss her and then realised what he was doing and let go of her. "Um...yes...sorry..."
Tarzana kissed him back.
"What am I doing?" the Professor asked himself, suddenly. "Captain, tell them you never found us. After all, people get lost in the jungle every day, don't they?"
And he swam back to join his son.
The family were ready to accept John and the Professor into the family without a second thought, just as they had been ready to accept Tarzana as the new leader of the family. Alright, so it was unorthodox for a female to lead a group of gorillas, but no one ever challenged otherwise. The humans moved into the treehouse that Tarzana's parents had built. Terk and Tantor became assistants to the Professor, who always found plenty of things to study in the jungle. And most of all, Tarzana, alongside her husband John Porter, became known throughout the animal kingdom as the Queen of the Jungle.

I think it's better if Tarzan is a girl, don't you? It shows, especially through this story, that women can be very, very strong and dependable beings in such a different environment than a city or town. The fact that she, a female, became leader of her tribe, her colony, her group- that is mainly gorilla's, is a very big leap of achievement. Animals, I think, follow the alpha male, so the fact that she is a female says a lot about womankind. Total girl power, basically.
The story, as always, is amazing and such a delight to read. Thank you for sharing this with me.
