A book behaving badly! From award-winning Richard Byrne, author of This Book Just Ate My Dog (shortlisted for the Children's Book Award) comes another wonderfully inventive book starring Ben and Bella. It's a funny and original high-concept picture book where the book itself interferes with what happens on the page. Ben has a remote-controlled fire engine but when he presses the buttons on the remote the engine doesn't turn or spin or sound its siren. While Ben and Bella scratch their heads over this, strange things are happening to Bella's dog. It's only when Ben tries the VOICE button that Bella's dog is able to speak, warning them that 'This Book is Out of Control!' Readers get the chance to press the buttons and witness the hilarious slapstick results every time the page is turned. It's an interactive experience for the reader who ultimately has to help in restoring normality.

Here, presented in one volume, are the four stories that comprise the ‘Taking Control’ Series, a seriously hot and provocative romance by Lucia Jordan, written in her signature style of high passion with searing depictions of sex and emotion. Belle doesn’t have time for many men—not only is she too absorbed in her work as a scriptwriter, but more often than not, she finds most men leave her completely unsatisfied and unwilling to learn how to please her. Until one evening, when her boss orders her to indulge in a night out, her submissive side is awakened when she watches a man, uncomfortable in the crowd but simultaneously giving off an aura of deep confidence. He’s irresistibly hot and physically tough, but there’s also something vulnerable about him too…something she can’t quite place. What Belle doesn’t know is that Trip has a turbulent past and is haunted by troubling memories that he can’t shake. But Belle knows that her sexual preferences can be intimidating and is used to having her hopes dashed. Not willing to stand by and watch it happen again, she tries to turn Trip off her by revealing her need for strong willed man, who is willing to take control of the situation. It looks like Trip is not a man to give up easily when he’s pursuing something—or someone—he truly desires. Will he submit to her wishes in order to become the Master of her desires? Will Trip allow his hidden dominant side to fully emerge? This ebook contains very hot and explicit descriptions of romantic activity. Only mature readers should download this book.
