Sure, he’s admired Brenna’s cute figure a time or two, but he’s never thought of her that way. When Brenna tells Shawn she wants to sleep with him, he is completely taken aback. He mans the kitchen at the family’s pub, and writes music in his spare time. For his part, Shawn has never considered Brenna as anything but a very close friend. Brenna has been attracted to Shawn for years, but she’s pretty sure that lust is all she feels for her old family friend. She can fix or build anything, and she figures most men see her as more of the “buddy” type. Brenna is her father’s partner in a handyman type of business. Both are pretty satisfied with their lives and not exactly ready to fall in love. Shawn and Brenna are not particularly willing participants. Since Jude and Aidan of Jewels of the Sun are happily married and expecting their first child, Carrick turns to Aidan’s brother Shawn and his long-time friend Brenna O’Toole. Before he can be reunited with her, three couples must find love and happiness. The first book in this trilogy, Jewels of the Sun, introduced Carrick, a faerie prince who had been separated for three hundred years from his true love. Readers who have been anxiously awaiting this installment won’t be disappointed. It has the hallmarks one expects from a Nora Roberts book – well-developed characters, great dialogue, and a quaint Irish setting to boot. Tears of the Moon is a delightful addition to Nora Roberts’ Gallagher Siblings trilogy.

The volume deals with eight major thematic blocks revisiting specific practices in communism such as popular culture and everyday life, childhood, labor, the secret police, and the perception of the system. The common denominator to all essays is the emphasis on the process of remembering in the present, and the modalities by means of which the present perspective shapes processes of remembering, including practices of commemoration and representation of the past. Based on an interdisciplinary approach, including history, anthropology, cultural studies and sociology, the volume examines the mechanisms and processes that influence, determine and mint the private and public memory of communism in the post-1989 era. The majority of the articles focus on memory practices in the post-Stalinist era in Bulgaria and Romania, with occasional references to the cases of Poland and the GDR. Remembering Communism examines the formation and transformation of the memory of communism in the post-communist period.

The mall doors slide open and the outside air hits my face, cool and wet. I’m way too tall and my shoulders are getting broad. The first little bits of hair are pushing their way up from my face, and my voice dropped so early it’s almost a lost cause. More and more I hate to look in the mirror. I make sure not to glimpse my reflection in the mall windows as I beeline for the exit. I take my nail polish and get out of there as quick as I can. The cashier rings me up with a smile that makes me curdle inside. Finally, I get to the front of the line and drop the nail polish on the counter.
