From Christina Phillips a sexy, new romance with a hero you won’t forget... I’m not looking for love or expecting to find Happily-Ever-After because I know how those stories really end. I just need to concentrate on my degree and look after myself. But there’s something about my boss, Harry, that I can’t resist. It’s crazy. He’s so hot and smart it should be illegal. And then, just like Cinderella, I have my night at the ball and a midnight kiss, and for a week all my sexy daydreams come true. That fake date changes my life in a way I could never imagine. It turns out, Harry wants me too. But I have my own dreams to pursue, and he’s taking his business to the next level. There’s no way this fairytale has a happy ending, but that doesn’t stop me from wishing for it. Each book in the British Bad Boys series is STANDALONE: * Cinderella and the Geek * Once Upon A Player * Not So Happily Ever After

An essential part of human expression, humor plays a role in all forms of art, and humorous and comedic aspects have always been part of popular music. For the first time, The Routledge Companion to Popular Music and Humor draws together scholarship exploring how the element of humor interacts with the artistic and social aspects of the musical experience. Discussing humor in popular music across eras from Tin Pan Alley to the present, and examining the role of humor in different musical genres, case studies of artists, and media forms, this volume is a groundbreaking collection that provides a go-to reference for scholars in music, popular culture, and media studies. While most scholars, when considering humor’s place in popular music, tend to focus on more "literate" forms, the contributors in this collection seek to fill in the gaps by surveying all kinds of humor, critical theories, and popular musics. Across eight parts, the essays in this collection explore topics both highbrow and low, including: Parody and satire Humor in rock and global music Gender, sexuality, and politics The music mockumentary Novelty songs Humor has long been a fixture of the popular music soundscape, whether on stage, in performance, on record, or on film. The Routledge Companion to Popular Music and Humor covers it all, presenting itself as the most comprehensive treatment of the topic to date.
