Новинка от Анны Кэмпбелл - июньская новелла в серии Sons of Sin


This story is unashamedly romantic, a fact you can’t miss the moment you see this beautiful cover. When handsome Simon Metcalf (the boy next door, no less!) gives seventeen-year-old Lady Lydia Rothermere, the Duke of Sedgemoor’s daughter, a rose, her first kiss isn’t far away. But her ruthless father has ambitions for Lydia that don’t involve Simon. He breaks up the lovers and forces Simon into exile.  
Ten years later, Lydia is about to marry another man, although she’s never forgotten her first love. With the conniving of Lydia’s brother Cam, now Duke of Sedgemoor, Simon returns determined to break up the engagement.
But can Lydia let herself trust Simon again? And can she risk scandal by jilting an honorable man in favour of a rake, when scandal has already created such havoc in the Rothermeres’ lives?

Третий роман Вероники Рот в ее трилогии Дивергент


One choice will define you.
What if your whole world was a lie?
What if a single revelation—like a single choice—changed everything?
What if love and loyalty made you do things you never expected?

The explosive conclusion to Veronica Roth’s #1 New York Times bestselling Divergent trilogy reveals the secrets of the dystopian world that has captivated millions of readers in Divergent and Insurgent.

Новинка от Сары Дж. Маас
An assassin’s loyalties are always in doubt.
But her heart never wavers.

After a year of hard labor in the Salt Mines of Endovier, eighteen-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien has won the king’s contest to become the new royal assassin. Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the crown – a secret she hides from even her most intimate confidantes.
Keeping up the deadly charade—while pretending to do the king’s bidding—will test her in frightening new ways, especially when she’s given a task that could jeopardize everything she’s come to care for. And there are far more dangerous forces gathering on the horizon — forces that threaten to destroy her entire world, and will surely force Celaena to make a choice.
Where do the assassin’s loyalties lie, and who is she most willing to fight for?

 Новинка от Лорен Дейн

As Helena and Faine’s explosive passion grows, a deadly separatist plot is discovered, one which could bring ultimate destruction for the Others, and war breaks out between the two opposing factions. With the Others forced into hiding, Helena must overcome her fear of repeating past failures to save her people—and her heart—before it’s too late…

Новости недели №9

Начну с неприятных новостей. Опять.
Увы, хотелось бы начинать новости по-другому, но не все в романслэнде гладко и красиво.

Ф.К. Каст отличилась и на этот раз. Если вы помните, относительно давно Интернет гремел скандалом. В своей книге Ф.К. Каст позволила себе шутки личного характера о Лорел Хамильтон. Так как я лично не читала ни одну из них, меня тот конфликт не особо взволновал.
Но недавно произошла неприятная история, которая убедила меня и дальше не знакомится с творчеством Ф.К. Каст.
В своих книгах писательница часто использует термин "тормоз, отстающий в развитии". Одну маму это сильно обеспокоило. Мама разместила просьбу не использовать этот термин на сайте Ф.К.Каст, потому что для очень многих это не пустые слова, а личная трагедия.
К этой просьбе Каст отнеслась крайне негативно. Её последующие реплики по этому поводу разочаровали и обидели многих поклонников. Но дальнейший поступок писательницы просто вызвал волну возмущения в Интернете.
Каст перенесла конфликт на страницы своей новой книги. Слово "тормоз, отстающий в развитии" прозвучало из уст анти-героини. Но та же анти-героиня произносит пламенную речь в защиту использования этого слова и положительные герои к ней прислушиваются.
Поведение писательницы лишь доказало её эмоциональную незрелость и неумение воспринимать критику. Как и нежелание прислушиваться к чужому мнению.
В этом вопросе я полностью на стороне негодующих.
Меня не так возмутило использование самого термина писательницей, как  хамское поведение.



David Guterson получил анти-премию за самую отвратительную постельную сцену.
“In the shower, Ed stood with his hands at the back of his head, like someone just arrested, while she abused him with a bar of soap.After a while he shut his eyes, and Diane, wielding her fingernails now and staring at his face, helped him out with two practiced hands,one squeezing the family jewels, the other vigorous with the soap-and-warm-water treatment.It didn’t take long for the beautiful and perfect Ed King to ejaculate for the fifth time in 12 hours, while looking like a Roman public-bath statuary.Then they rinsed, dried, dressed and went to an expensive restaurant for lunch.”

20 декабря выйдет первая книга Delilah Marvelle в её новой серии Rumour.


Roderick Gideon Tremayne, the recently appointed Duke of Wentworth, never expected to find himself in New York City, tracking down a mysterious map important to his late mother. And he certainly never expected to be injured, only to wake up with no memory of who he is. But when he sees the fiery-haired beauty who’s taken it upon herself to rescue him, suddenly his memory is the last thing on his mind.
Georgia Milton, the young head of New York’s notorious Forty Thieves, feels responsible for the man who was trying to save her bag from a thief. But she’s not prepared for the fierce passion he ignites within her. When his memory begins to return, her whole world is threatened, and Roderick must choose between the life he forgot and the life he never knew existed.…



Лорен Дейн напишет новеллу в электронном варианте о героях её серии Brown siblings.

All she needed to pack was a few bikinis, a toothbrush and some sunscreen. This is what Ben told Erin when he presented her and Todd with tickets to Fiji and the promise of ten days of nothing but sleeping until whenever they wanted, sex without having to lock the door and lots of alone time.
And that’s what they have. Long days and nights filled with pleasure. Long enough that the stress and exhaustion drops away and the three can simply enjoy each other.
They’ve got heat. More than ever before. Recharging their batteries has also brought new levels of intimacy and connection. But when Erin stumbles over the pain of her past, both men band together to not only help her through, but to help each other as well.
