Only If For A Night ~ What's Your Song? {32}

Only If For A Night by Florence + The Machine

And I had a dream About my old school And she was there all pink and gold and glittering I threw my arms around her legs Came to weeping (came to weeping) Came to weeping (came to weeping)

And I heard your voice As clear as day And you told me I should concentrate It was all so strange And so surreal That a ghost should be so practical Only if for a night

And the only solution was to stand and fight And my body was bruised and I was set alight But you came over me like some holy rite And although I was burning, you're the only light Only if for a night

And the grass was so green against my new clothes And I did cartwheels in your honour Dancing on tiptoes My own secret ceremonials Before the service began In the graveyard doing handstands

And I heard your voice As clear as day And you told me I should concentrate It was all so strange And so surreal That a ghost should be so practical Only if for a night

And the only solution was to stand and fight And my body was bruised and I was set alight But you came over me like some holy rite And although I was burning, you're the only light Only if for a night

Madam, my dear, my darling Tell me what all the sighing's about Tell me what all the sighing's about

And I heard your voice As clear as day And you told me I should concentrate It was all so strange And so surreal That a ghost should be so practical Only if for a night

Only if for a night

Dark Wolf
Christine Feehan
January 7, 2014

In Dark Lycan, Christine Feehan journeyed into the heart of the Carpathians, and into the souls of two lifemates stirred by the flush of passion and the threat of annihilation. In Dark Wolf, the breathtaking story continues as the bonds of family are imperiled, and the fate of two lovers lies hidden in the seductive shadows between life and death.

Skyler Daratrazanoff always recognized the miracle that was Dimitri Tirunul, a man beyond any dream that had ever engaged her nights. But she was human. Vulnerable. He was Carpathian. Nearly immortal. She was nineteen. He was an ancient. Yet she held half his soul, the light to his darkness. Without her, he would not survive. Caught between the two warring species, Dimitri has spent centuries hunting the undead to keep his people free, and humans safe. He had survived honorably when others had chosen to give up their souls. But now, marked for extermination by the Lycans, Dimitri found himself alone, and fearing for his life. But salvation was coming…

No Lycan would ever suspect someone like Skyler to dare mount a secret rescue operation. A teenage girl. A human of untested abilities. But she had something no one else had. She was predestined for Dimitri—as he was for her. And there was nothing stronger for Skyler than her desire to see her life-dream come true. Whatever the risk.

Evangeline Black, Corbin Blue

He is every woman’s fantasy

Corbin Blue is a man of many talents. One of the most powerful otherworlders ever born, he is wealthy, a professional football star, and a legend in the bedroom. But only a select few know he is also a black ops agent…and there is no better killer. When he and his crew are attacked and separated, he’s forced to turn to his boss’s daughter for help—a woman with even more secrets than Blue.

She becomes his only obsession…

Evangeline Black has always been wary, guarded. No man has ever breeched her walls. Until Blue. He has never been denied something he wants, and now, he’s decided he wants her. As he sweeps her into his double life of seduction, intrigue, and danger, he helps her see beyond the darkness of her own past. But as an enemy closes in, Blue will have to let Evie go to keep her safe—even though he'd rather die than live without her…

This story started out slow and I never really got into. Blue and Evie had some very funny moments together, but I never truly connected with either one of them. It was a struggle just to finish it.

Evie constantly berated Blue for being a "man-whore" but in the same time wanted to be one of his long list of many. Beyond their connection of Michael, Evie's father and Blue's boss, they have absolutely nothing in common. They had sex a couple of times and the rest of the story was just page fillers.

The communication, or speech, between the two main characters was very reminiscent of that of my junior high cousins. "Amazeballs" "Gorge" "Snugs" Very troubling for the speech of the future. Not the best I've read from this author.

It Goes Like This ~ What's Your Song {31}

It Goes Like This by Thomas Rhett

Hey girl, you make me wanna write a song, Sit you down, I'll sing it to you all night long, I've had a melody in my head Since she walked in here and knocked me dead. Yeah girl, you make me wanna write a song

And it goes like ooh, What I wouldn't do To write my name on your heart, Get you wrapped in my arms Baby all around you. And it goes like hey, Girl I'm blown away, Yeah it starts with a smile and it ends with an all night long slow kiss, Yeah it goes like this.

Hey girl, you make me wanna drive you home, Get you outta here and get you all alone. I don't know what it is about you, baby, But I'm all messed up and it might sound crazy, But you make me wanna write a song.

And it goes like ooh, What I wouldn't do, To write my name on your heart, Get you wrapped in my arms Baby all around you. And it goes like hey, Girl I'm blown away, Yeah it starts with a smile and it ends with an all night long slow kiss, Yeah it goes like this.

Lookin' at you, lookin' at me that way, Makes me wanna grab my old guitar and play

Something like ooh, What I wouldn't do, To write my name on your heart, Get you wrapped in my arms Baby all around you. And it goes like hey, Girl I'm blown away, Yeah it starts with a smile and it ends with an all night long slow kiss, Yeah it goes like this

And it goes like ooh, And it goes like hey, And it ends with a kiss, Yeah it goes like this.

Book Beginning:

Corbin Blue tucked his girlfriend against his side, smiled his patented bedroom smile, and faced the cameras, playing the part of irreverent debaucher to perfection.

Friday 56:

Plant life was compromised, animals were almost wiped out, and huge bodies of water either dried up or turned to sludge. Now all three were expensive commodities.
