Teddy is my favorite male narrator and his performance in this book reminds me why. ![]() In Chapter 1 they were Jackson and Stone! Jacob embodied Stone, he really brought out Stone's personality, his playfulness and even his insecurities. I was just finishing another MM Series with these two when I received One Time Only so I was a little concerned I would struggle to transition them into the new characters, Boy I was SO wrong. Now I NEED to talk about the narration! Anyone who's ever listened to Teddy and Jacob know that they are amazing and together they steal the show. I am a huge fan of MM Romance and I especially love that Lauren writes true MM Romance, no GFY or hiding, no shame, just a love story between to people! I will admit that I loved this book so much that I listened to it twice back to bcak because It left me with such a happy heart. ![]() ![]() ![]() The ending of this book had my heart soaring because I love LOVE and I love HEA even more and their HEA was perfect. Not only could I feel the love but man these two were HOT! The sex scenes were plenty and that is what I expected because of the build up of sexual tension between these two in other books by this author. This was my most anticipated book of 2020 and it's no surprise that this is now my favorite Lauren Blakely book to date! I love Stone & Jackson, they are so different but their chemistry and attraction for each other was palpable. ![]() ![]() ![]() Christopher Bryson and Shayla Harris are producer/directors.

The missing documents add baffling question marks. The Kelly Gang story is fragmentary and full of holes at best. The book identifies many ‘missing’ official documents for the first time. The mythology created by pro-Kelly writers is critically explored, unravelled, and often found wanting. In the various arguments for hero status, many ‘facts' are cited or assumed – but are they truly facts? Or are they distortions (deliberate or accidental) that have twisted the Kelly story into today’s improbable legend? Many new factors and insights are presented, and the recent invention of Ned's NE Victoria 'republic' is debunked. ![]() The book examines hundreds of archival documents that fully expose the extent of the gang’s murderous campaign against Victoria police, five of whom were shot. ![]() Seldom heard victims of the gang’s activities at last have their say. It spells out the case against Ned and his gang carefully and in previously inaccessible detail. The book is entirely different to all earlier versions of the Kelly legend. This controversial new book forensically examines the myths about the Kelly Gang and will ignite fierce debate about their undeserved ranking as national heroes today. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie Preferences, as described in the Cookie Notice.

Overall the whole movie is pretty cheesy, I felt like I was watching one of those online spoofs, rather than the real thing. If it wasn't for the fact that every girl/woman in the country can't keep their eyes off him, I'm pretty sure Lautner would be fired - his acting is almost amusing. I felt that in the first one all of the actors did an outstanding job of bringing their characters to life, but that dropped with NewMoon. I was not at all impressed with the over all feel of the movie. I was surprisingly impresssed with the first one, but I was extremely disappointed with this one.
