Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.

One night. That's all it was supposed to be. Imagine my surprise when Mr. Sexy in a Suit breezed through the door on the first day of school. Ladies and gentlemen, meet my new boss. Not only does he instantly recognize me, but he accuses me of stealing something valuable from him the morning I walk-of-shamed out of his apartment. When bullying me into a confession doesn't work, he turns my life into a living nightmare - as if that will coax me into returning what I supposedly stole. But this is my school, and the only thing I'll be returning is payback. Game. On. There's only one problem. I wanted him before I hated him, and even now, a part of me still wants him. Somehow, through all of our fighting, through the anger and the pranks, I think I'm falling in love with the enemy.

"Inevitable is a modern-day take on Romeo & Juliet with a much more satisfying ending." The job was clear: Get in, get what I need, and get out. It should've been easy. It could've been effortless. I wasn't supposed to fall in love with the enemy's daughter. Long raven hair and dark mischievous eyes drew me in. Her feisty attitude and caring heart kept me there. Her pain called out to mine and our souls entwined. Now I'm in so deep, I don't know which way is up. If my father finds out, we'll be next on his list. I'll do anything in my power to protect her, but how can I keep her safe when I'm the one I need to keep her safe from? Eva doesn't know it yet, but she's playing the part of Juliet in this twisted tragedy. And our final act is inevitable. REVIEW "This was an absolute 5 star read, I had it in my hands every chance I could get. The story was written beautifully, and we really got inside of the characters heads." -- Caroline O'Sullivan, ARC Recipient "Amazing chemistry between the main characters, secrets and twists, an actual strong female main character, and a very good amount of steam." -- Themreadsbooks "A real, sweet, intense and passionate story that catches you from the first pages." -- Stela Sparrowinlove, ARC Recipient "Badass heroine- check. Hottie hero- check. Off the charts chemistry- check. Forbidden romance- check. Angst- check. Suspense- check. Kristen has outdone herself. This book was killer!!" -- SJ Sylvis, Author "A great read for those who love a darker, edgier romance with lots of action... and a kick ass heroine!" -- Nikki J Summers, Author "Inevitable is a take on Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet and Kristen did a great job of filling in those shoes. In previous renditions Juliet isn't as forward and ballsy as Kristen's "Juliet" (aka Eva). Kristen's version is my kind of heroine." -- Colleen Young, Author "The ones we love we hurt the most, and in this angsty retake on Romeo and Juliet it's more true than ever. Betrayal is everywhere and no one is left unharmed. Oh holy hotness, You don't want to miss this gem!" -- Sonja Ton, ARC Recipient
