El aroma del tiempo
By Núria Pradas. 1905
Una gran novela sobre el fascinante y glamuroso mundo del perfume. A los once años Pablo Soto se queda huérfano…
y tiene que viajar, en tiempos de la Gran Guerra, hasta la ciudad francesa de Grasse, capital del perfume, donde vivirá con sus tíos y su primo. En Francia no solamente encuentra el cariño y el calor de una familia, sino que disfruta de la oportunidad única de adentrarse en el mundo de la perfumería bajo la maestría del gran perfumista franco-ruso Ernest Beaux, de la mano del cual llegará a conocer a Coco Chanel. Es el momento de la creación de un perfume que hará historia: Chanel Nº 5. Ni un amor imposible ni la nueva guerra que arrasa Europa impedirán que Pablo se convierta en un gran perfumista. Pero tampoco que sea un hombre que huye del pasado. Una fuga imposible, porque, a menudo, la vida es un perfume cuyo aroma se pierde en el tiempo. El aroma del tiempo nos adentra en uno de los momentos más glamurosos del siglo XX. Desde Grasse, cuna de la alta perfumería, a la Barcelona de posguerra, y pasando por el París de Coco Chanel, esta novela nos cuenta quién y cómo se hacen los perfumes, y nos relata la vida de un hombre que se hace a sí mismo y consigue el éxito tras superar los muchos golpes de la vida.Cure For Pain

all over again. Whether she's writing contemporary romance, paranormal, or historical, Heidi Betts never disappoints.Clayton Walker had been sent to Purgatory...but it felt more like hell. Assigned to solve a string of minor burglaries, the rugged Texas Ranger thought catching the crook would be a walk in the park. Instead he found himself chasing a black-masked bandit with enticing hips and a penchant for helping everyone but herself. And Clay swore he would see justice done, even if he had to shackle the beauty to him for the rest of his life. With quick fingers and a lithe body, Regan Doyle's nocturnal activities knew no boundaries; decked out in black, the young widow made sure the rich "donated" to the local orphanage - whether they wanted to or not. And the fiery redhead wasn't about to let a lawman get in her way - even if his broad shoulders and piercing gray eyes were as arresting as the badge pinned to his chest. But caught in a compromising position - one that revealed far more than her colorful undergarments - Regan recognized that the jig was up ... for Clay had stolen her heart."Heidi Betts scores with a sizzling tale of passion, intrigue, and enduring love." -- Merline Lovelace"For a good story and unforgettable characters, you can't beat Heidi Betts.

Best-selling author Heidi Betts is known as a versatile author, who writes what she loves...and makes readers fall in love…
all over again. Whether she's writing contemporary romance, paranormal, or historical, Heidi Betts never disappoints.The road to Hell might be paved with good intentions, but David Walker knew the trail to Purgatory, Texas, was lined with nothing but trouble. Wounded and in desperate need of help, he had survived the treacherous journey to reach the blue-eyed, blond-haired girl of his memories. And in Hannah's arms he discovered Heaven. But torn between the white man's world and his Indian heritage, David wondered if he'd been saved or damned. The man who called himself Spirit Walker bore little resemblance to the boy who had comforted Hannah during her darkest hours at the orphanage. There was nothing safe about the powerful half-breed who needed her assistance. Still, the schoolteacher would risk everything -- her reputation, her heart, her life -- to save him, for she recognized a childhood bond had blossomed into a love strong enough to overcome any challenge."Heidi Betts scores with a sizzling tale of passion, intrigue, and enduring love." -- Merline Lovelace"For a good story and unforgettable characters, you can't beat Heidi Betts.

Everything comes easy for Zach Johnston. Only 24 years old, he’s got it all-- the girl, the high paying tech…
job, and the rent-controlled apartment in the Village. But when his best friend overdoses and his girlfriend leaves him, his inability to connect with other people overwhelms him. Desperate to hide his pain from Amanda, the ex who met “11 out of 13 criteria” on his friend’s most important checklist, Zach plasters on a smile as he rejoins his single friends chasing girls at seedy bars and grungy apartments, hoping the emptiness inside him will disappear if he pretends it doesn’t exist. As he descends into a haze of weed, booze, and hallucinogens, Zach recognizes his remaining friendships for what they are— partnerships of convenience, forged long ago simply on the shared desire to get high and get laid, continuing to this day because the effort required to replace them is too great. He also turns his judgmental lens inwards and begins to understand the consequences of his one night stands and shameless flirting, and the perils of assuming everyone he meets is dumber than he is. At the peak of this crisis of confidence, Zach meets Zoey Mclemore, the beautiful, intelligent woman he has always told himself he could love and marry. Eating caramels sober with her is better than being drunk or high with anyone else. But when Zoey finds Zach drunk and alone with Amanda, he knows he must show Zoey he is ready to be an adult, or face never watching Spongebob with her again. Equal parts whimsical romantic comedy and cynical literary fiction, LOVE FROM AMANDA TO ZOEY is the story of a successful man who doesn’t feel like he’s successful or a man, and his struggle to understand the meanings of life and Zoey’s latest text.Any Groom Will Do
