Top of my head I can think of Rebellious Desire by Garwood and Until You by Jennifer McNare. Read My Dangerous Duke, by Gaelen Foley online on Bookmate New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Gaelen Foley invites you to reenter Londons. And just a masterpiece.īUT when I look into her other 's like someone else wrote them =)))) It's like two different writers? Or am I not looking in the right place? Is there something she does write to the par of The Duke? Or is there any other author you can think of who writes like McNaught.or The Duke? The closest I've found to the high she gives is Gaelen Foley's The Duke. Descriptive, insightful and just takes you on a journey. They're not normal (let's be honest haha) but when the pride of BOTH characters are put aside, they are full of love. Insane alpha MMCs who have a lot of power, money and influence. To loving crazy alpha MMC 's with absolute emotional rollercoaster plots, which condensed pretty much means Judith McNaught's HRs. So about a month and a half ago, I was going on and on about my very specific tastes and after I read pretty much everything I could pertaining to my criteria, I've moved on. Georgette Heyer achieves what the rest of us only aspire too. "Wonderful characters, elegant, witty writing, perfect period detail, and rapturously romantic. I've read her books to ragged shreds"- Katie Fenton, Daily Telegraph "Reading Georgette Heyer is the next best thing to reading Jane Austen."- Publishers Weekly Regency Buck (Regency Romances, 2): Heyer, Georgette: 0760789220722: : Books Books Literature & Fiction Genre Fiction Buy new: 13.69 List Price: 18.99 Details Save: 5.30 (28) Get Fast, Free Shipping with Amazon Prime FREE Returns FREE delivery Monday, March 27 if you spend 25 on items shipped by Amazon. A good introduction to Heyer's period stories." - The Booklist "Light and frothy, in the vein of the author's other Regency novels, this follows the fortunes of Miss Judith Taverner and her brother, Sir Peregrine. "Georgette Heyer is unbeatable."- Sunday Telegraph To their surprise and utter disgust, their guardian is not much older than they are, doesn't want the office of guardian any more than they want him, and is determined to thwart all their interests and return them to the country.īut when Miss Taverner and Peregrine begin to move in the highest social circles, Lord Worth cannot help but entangle himself with his adventuresome wards. After their father's death, Miss Judith Taverner and her brother Peregrine travel to London to meet their guardian, Lord Worth, expecting an elderly gentleman. As said, what is especially striking is that he does not spare himself: all his stupid actions and statements, his darkest thoughts and even his absolutely bad thoughts about other people., he throws it all on the table. Time and again he illustrates that with concrete examples, 6 books long, in the meanwhile sketching his personal biography. He almost constantly points to his inferiority, not fitting in socially, always falling short as an adolescent, as a teacher, as a writer, as a husband and as a father. An introverted man who writes 3.600 pages about himself, what should we think about that kind of a contradiction? And Karl Ove Knausgard seems to me a hyper-introvert case, at least that is the image that we get presented in this 6-part cycle. There are a few ways that Mike Chen is able to bring a sort of fresh energy into the Clone War. Thankfully, my trepidation and forgetfulness was negated by what turned out to be a well-written, engaging novel: Star Wars Brotherhood! And, unfortunately, the nature of From a Certain Point of View stories meant that I couldn’t remember Mike Chen’s entry in the anthology well. My first reaction to hearing that Del Rey was going to be producing yet another Clone Wars story was met with more “…huh, okay” from me than an enthusiastic welcome. Specifically, seven seasons of a TV show, a handful of comic mini-series, and the beginning and end of the second Prequel films, and plenty more have explored the Clone Wars. Authors of Star Wars book, “more to say, have you”, on the Clone Wars? Seems hard to believe, seeing how much material has already been created focusing on the era. *New York Times bestseller, 18 weeks from October 2022 - February 2023* *With 78.9 million views on #thingswenevergotover as of April 2023* 'I laughed. At least that's the plan, until their lives begin to entwine in ways they never imagined. And just as soon as she stops getting into trouble, he can leave her alone and get back to his peaceful, solitary life. But since Naomi's life imploded right in front of him, the least he can do is help her out of her jam. There's a reason local barber Knox doesn't do complications or high-maintenance women, especially not the romantic ones.

A preview of its first issue was shown in Fables #50, and the series itself debuted in July 2006. While Jack of Fables focused on the eponymous Jack Horner, the spin-off also allowed Willingham and Sturges to expand upon the Fables Universe by adding new characters, settings, and anthropomorphic personifications of philosophical and literary ideas in the series. The idea for the spin-off comic came after editor Shelly Bond suggested to put Jack in a separate comic when Willingham planned to write him out of the series. The story focuses on the adventures of Jack Horner, a supporting character in the main series, that takes place after his exile from Fabletown in the story-arc Jack Be Nimble. Jack of Fables is a spin-off comic book series of Fables written by Bill Willingham and Lilah Sturges and published by DC Comics' Vertigo imprint.
