By Mac Lethal. 2013
A family story for the twenty-first century, based on the phenomenally popular Texts from Bennett Tumblr blog, this epistolary novel…
chronicles the year that Bennett and the rest of his freeloading family moved into his cousin Mac's household.Hardworking Kansas rapper Mac has a problem, and its name is Bennett. His wannabe gangster cousin is seventeen, uses drugs and foul language, treats women worse than Charlie Sheen, and has just moved in. For the sake of aiding his addled aunt and trying to put Bennett on the straight and narrow, Mac dutifully takes them into his house when they lose their own. Through their interactions and legendary text message exchanges, one thing becomes absolutely clear: Bennett views the world differently than most. (Partly because he's looking through smoke-filled glasses). In a year of ups and downs, Mac and Bennett need to stick together and make this new family unit work. From stealing cats, to legendary fights with the uncontrollable Mercedes, to his "11 commandmints of gittin bitchez," Bennett's going to make that more than a little difficult. But if Mac pays enough attention, maybe, just maybe he'll learn something along the way himself. Regardless of whether they survive their time together, one thing's for sure, though: Bennett is no ordinary teenager, and certainly not one you'll soon forget.Clarissa und die unverheirateten Frauenzimmer
By Alicia Cameron, Daniela Maizner. 2017
Im England der Regency-Zeit steht Mrs. Thornes Akademie der jungen Damen nach dem Tod von Clarissas Mutter kurz vor der…
Schließung. Die junge 18-jährige Clarissa Thorne und ihre drei Freundinnen, die als Lehrerinnen in der Akademie tätig waren, sehen sich daher gezwungen, als mittellose, unverheiratete Frauenzimmer in den Schoß ihrer jeweiligen Familien zurückzukehren, um ein Leben in Schuft und Schinderei zu führen. Doch es kommt, dass Clarissa das riesige Anwesen Ashcroft erbt und somit sich und ihren Freundinnen einen Ausweg bieten kann – hinein in ein Leben voller Unabhängigkeit und Abenteuer. Sie müssen das Anwesen mit wenig Geld und noch weniger Erfahrung wieder auf Vordermann bringen. Können die pragmatische Miss Micklethwaite, die ewig romantische, aber bereits alternde Miss Appleby und die wunderschöne Miss Oriana Petersham ihrem Schicksal entkommen? Zumindest müssen sie den Versuch wagen und die lebhafte und impulsive Clarissa unterstützen. Wie dem auch sei, ihre Verwandten haben andere Pläne… Als sie auf ihrer Reise den Earl of Grandiston und seinen Gefährten (einen ergebenen Verehrer der bildschönen Oriana) treffen, wird jedoch eine Kette unvorhergesehener Ereignisse losgetreten. Dem Abenteuer fügen die Damen noch einen Schuss Romantik hinzu.Clarissa et les femmes sans importance
By Catherine Dussault, Alicia Cameron. 2017
En Angleterre, sous la Régence, l’Académie pour jeunes filles de madame Thorne doit fermer ses portes en raison de la…
mort de la mère de Clarissa, madame Thorne, survenue un an plus tôt. Voilà qui laisse cette jeune femme de dix-huit ans et ses trois amies, toutes enseignantes à l’Académie, sans autre choix que de retourner auprès de leur famille comme ces parentes pauvres, ces femmes sans importance qui doivent se résoudre à obéir au doigt et à l’œil à tous ceux qui les entourent, sans espoir d’une vie meilleure. Toutefois, Clarissa vient tout juste d’hériter d’Ashcroft, un grand domaine malheureusement fort négligé, et elle offre à ses compagnes une autre solution : s’enfuir avec elle vers une vie d’indépendance et d’aventure. Elles devront remettre le domaine en état avec somme toute peu d’argent et aucune expérience. La raisonnable mademoiselle Micklethwaite, l’infatigable romantique mademoiselle Appleby et la sublime Oriana Petersham peuvent-elles tromper leur destin ? Pour veiller au bien-être de cette énergique, mais impulsive Clarissa, elles devront au moins tenter leur chance. Il va sans dire que leurs parents ont d’autres plans pour elles… Une rencontre avec le comte de Grandiston et son compagnon, un soupirant de la divine Oriana, sur la route lancera une série d’événements hilarants. Peut-être que l’amour se mêlera également à l’aventure pour ces dames…The Knights of England Boxed Set, Books 1-3: Three Complete Historical Medieval Romance
By Mary Ellen Johnson. 2018
"I was captivated by the beautiful covers from the start and that captivation just carried straight through from page one…
to the end of each book." ~Jeannette R HolthamA Breathtaking Medieval Saga of Love, Duty, Loyalty, Failure and Triumph in the First Three Volumes of The Knights of England by Mary Ellen Johnson BOOK 1: The Lion and the Leopard - Maria Rendell wants to be a dutiful wife to husband Phillip, but can't deny her attraction to their liege lord, Richard of Sussex. Loving Philip should be easy. She has married the knight of whom minstrels sing; the knight who saved Richard's life. But when Phillip abandons Maria to indulge his wanderlust, she turns to Richard, sparking a passionate affair amidst the crumbling kingdom of Edward II. Meanwhile, Edward II's barons are rebelling, executing his favorites, and across the channel in France, Isabella, Edward II's wife—the She-Wolf of France—plans to invade England. Then King Edward is captured as Richard and Maria prepare to flee to safety, and Phillip returns. Now the day of reckoning is at hand—not only for Maria, Richard, and Phillip, but for that most unfortunate of Plantagenet kings, Edward II.BOOK 2: A Knight There Was - Following his return from battle with a life-threatening sickness, Margery Watson nurses Golden Knight Matthew Hart back to health. A bond deepening between them, Matthew--who refuses to marry so his younger brother may inherit all--begs Margery to openly live with him. Margery agrees. Like her grandmother before her, she will risk all for love. But a scheming adversary concocts a deception in Matthew's absence that leaves Margery the unwitting wife of a wealthy goldsmith--who seeks only to trade on her family name--while believing she was betrayed by Matthew. When Matthew returns from London to find Margery wedded and bedded, he accuses her of betraying HIM. Now, both Margery and Matthew foolishly believe that time, distance and heartbreak will be enough to keep them forever apart.BOOK 3: Within A Forest Dark - With his belief in the Perfection of Knighthood challenged by battlefield atrocities, Matthew Hart returns to London, wishing to reunite with his first love, Margery Watson. Margery's cruel husband is now dead. As a wealthy widow, she has no intention of returning to the bonds of marriage. But she cannot turn away her handsome knight, no matter the depth of innocent blood he spilled in the name of honor and duty. As Matthew forces himself to fulfill feudal obligations, and Margery's unrest turns treasonous, the forces of king and kingdom may prove the lovers' ultimate undoing or their best hope.Publisher Note: Readers with a passion for history will appreciate the author's penchant for detail and accuracy. This story contains scenes of brutality which are true to the time and man's inhumanity. There are a limited number of sexual scenes and NO use of modern vulgarity.
