Books with title A Perfect Match

For honor. For love. For Asgard. Valkyrie Brynn Aksel is ready for some downtime. But when an urgent warning arrives from Asgard, heralding the death of a beloved god and the dawn of Ragnarok—the not-so-mythological end of days—it becomes clear there’s no rest for the gods…not when the future of the realms is on the line. Goddess of Love Freya Skönsten can’t shake the darkness that’s clung to her since her Helheim imprisonment. An unsanctioned romantic connection with a mortal is the only thing keeping her in the light, but Freya’s vow to the Norns prevents her from fully uniting with her perfekt match. When Hel returns to finish what she started, Freya must decide how much she’s ready to sacrifice to save the family she loves…and whether she’s willing to give up everything for the worlds she’s sworn to protect. With the forces of darkness aligning to destroy the realms, it’s clear more than just Love hangs in the balance. Ragnarok has arrived. And it's shaping up to be the perfekt storm.

Surf City, New Jersey, in the mid-1970s was like nowhere else on earth. No-one had central airconditioning or widescreen TV. Going barefoot and in swimsuits everywhere was the rule; and, in the days before mobile-phone texting and walkaround Internet access, the primary mode of communication for teenagers was face-to-face, usually at a public venue such as the beach or the Boulevard. People left with their houses unlocked and the car keys in the ignition switch. Even small children went on their own to the beach or bay knowing lifeguards, neighbours and fellow summer folk would look after them. The epicentre of Long Beach Island was then still just a small town of surfers, sunbathers, sailors and fishermen where everyone kept a child's enthusiasm about where they were at the moment.'It was a much lighter, gentler, more precious time and place,' says author Jonnie Comet, 'like something out of a dream; but you knew it at the time.' Having been privileged to grow up in such a pristine environment, never to be seen again, here he presents a series of short stories about a surf rat's life at the twilight of Surf City's glory years. And though he has often been suspected of overromanticising it all, the reader must keep in mind that this is all true-- every last word!
