![]() ![]() When one night of passion with two hot Navy Seals turns into everyone wanting more. ![]() To say I fell even more in love with Damon is a gross understatement. Even though it was clear that others fully supported him, he needed to be supported outside of his nuclear family. I thoroughly enjoyed who saw him and was constantly in his corner. Brady gives of himself to everyone around him, and he needs to be loved for who he is not who is related to. He is looking to be seen and loved for WHO he is, not who he is related to! I wouldn’t say he is needy, but he enjoys being taken care of. Perfection! We got JUST enough of Talon, Miller and the rest of the Fake Boyfriends crew to make us giddy with happiness, but the focus was truly on Brady and his men….as it should be!īrady is used to being in the public eye. When I tell you Eden Finley executed this flawlessly I mean it. We are there for the second generation finding love. We adore the parents of the main character, but really we aren’t there for them. Sometimes second generation books are too crowded. The way Brady was written it was so amazing to see so many characteristics of both Talon and Miller. Blindsided is one of my favorite books ever, I adore Talon and Miller and I love that they built a beautiful family. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Eona makes stupid decisions and trusts her friends too little and Ido too much, and this continues throughout too much of the book. ![]() While Goodman displayed the old adage of “power corrupts” quite thoroughly, it was just too much for me.

Hofstadter takes you down little stories that seem weird, but when you get to the end, you just walked through a fantastic metaphor for a REALLY complicated topic that now seems like it was a walk in the park. Heres a book recommendation of the Day: 'Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid' by Douglas R Hofstadter. DO THEM!! You don't have a CHANCE of following the later stuff unless you learn to "feel" and recognize the mental steps he walks you around during the most simple stuff in the beginning. In the beginning, he has you do some rather simple games and puzzles. If you buy this book, do EVERY EXERCISE he has you do in the book. Escher does the same thing - a pattern, repeated a layer up, and again repeated a layer up again in his art! And if you can follow mathematics, you will understand why you can't "use just mathematics to understand mathematics, because there is 'higher math.'" This is also true in logic! ![]() Also, to look for structure - but also look for meta-structures.
