I'll admit my fantasy is about being on the other side of the confessional, but being in Tyler's mind was eye opening.īarb's Take: I do not have a thing for priests. A HUGE plus was this story being from his point of view, which is rare in good erotica, or good contemporary romance or drama. But more than that, Tyler's journey in this was what had me invested. And it was PERFECT for my smut phase, I might even consider it THE highlight of my smut phase. I don't think I can emphasize enough just how hot it was.

![]() "This has been, perhaps, a depressing story. The second edition includes a new introduction by Winks on changes that have occurred since the book's first appearance and where African-Canadian studies stands today. ![]() The Blacks in Canada investigates the French and English periods of slavery, the abolitionist movement in Canada, and the role played by Canadians in the broader continental antislavery crusade, as well as Canadian adaptations to nineteenth- and twentieth-century racial mores. Throughout Winks explores efforts by African-Canadians to establish and maintain meaningful lifestyles in Canada. He also looks at Black West Coast businessmen who helped found British Columbia, particularly Victoria, and Black settlement in the prairie provinces. Using an impressive array of primary and secondary materials, Robin Winks details the diverse experiences of Black immigrants to Canada, including Black slaves brought to Nova Scotia and the Canadas by Loyalists at the end of the American Revolution, Black refugees who fled to Nova Scotia following the War of 1812, Jamaican Maroons, and fugitive slaves who fled to British North America. ![]() ![]() ![]() Jane was lively, half-Welsh, a graduate in French and Italian of Bedford College London, but also emotional and motherly, which was lucky as Priestley left the upbringing of the six children entirely to her.

He was one of the most influential authors of my growing up! I could recall about a dozen series that I remember fondly from my misspent youth, but the ones which I still consider the most influential are all David Gemmell’s. He rightly belongs in the tier of exalted author mentioned above, so thought I’d make a post in his honor and highlight my favorite books/series. Sadly, even in bookstores, you’re more likely to find books by aforementioned authors than of Gemmell!
