Mary Balogh - Now a Bride (2011)
(A book in the Mistress series)

(http://www.marybalogh.com/graphics/nowbride-frame.jpg)

(From Mary Balogh's website)
This is a slim volume to bind together the two books More Than a Mistress and No Man's Mistress, which are to be republished together in May, 2011, with the new prequel, The Secret Mistress, which is to be published in hardcover in the middle of July.

It will be available only as an ebook at first (for Kindle, Nook, Kobo, Sony, Apple, etc.), though it will appear in print at the back of the mass market edition of The Secret Mistress next year, in 2012.

Now a Bride is not a complete story in itself. Rather, it expands on the first two books with a few added episodes and then offers a series epilogue that brings all three books and sets of characters together one more time at the end.

In More Than a Mistress, there is an incomplete marriage proposal scene between Tresham and Jane and no wedding scene. Many readers do not like this. Those scenes appear in Now a Bride. There is also a homecoming scene at the end since Tresham avoided his home for years before his marriage to Jane but is looking forward to going back there afterward.

In No Man's Mistress, the wedding scene between Ferdinand and Viola is also missing as well as the final homecoming scene, important because much of their story is taken up with their fight over the home they both claim to own. Now a Bride supplies both scenes.

When a series ends, readers often feel a little bereft, somewhat left behind. I often get asked what happened to the characters after the end of the series, whether they continued happy, how many children they had. Scenes in which the characters are all shown living happily ever after can be a bit cheesy, but they can also be satisfying for readers who have been involved with them through several books. There is such a scene at the end of Now a Bride, which brings together Tresham and Jane, Ferdinand and Viola, Heyward and Angeline, and all their children, who are identified by gender and name!

I hope the volume will be emotionally satisfying to readers who have enjoyed the Mistress series.

Determined to uncover the truth, Lucy moves into her grandmother's Maryland mansion, where she finds a skeleton in a steamer trunk and an old ring sewn inside the body's trouser cuff. She's led to her grandfather's secret papers, and learns about her grandmother's obsession with the ring and a mysterious group called The Protectors.

Miranda Neville - The Amorous Education of Celia Seaton
(The third book in the Burgundy Club series)

(http://i065.radikal.ru/1107/c0/1342f5233c58.jpg) (http://www.radikal.ru)

Being kidnapped is teaching Miss Celia Seaton a few things about life:

Lesson one: Never disrobe in front of a gentleman . . . unless his request comes at gunpoint.
Lesson two: If, when lost on the moors, you encounter Tarquin Compton, the leader of London society who ruined your marriage prospects, deny any previous acquaintance.
Lesson three: If presented with an opportunity to get back at Mr. Compton, the bigger the lie, the better. A faux engagement should do nicely.
Lesson four: Not all knowledge is found between the covers of a book. But an improper book may further your education in ways you never guessed.
And while an erotic novel may be entertaining, the real thing is even better.

Desdaemona
by Ben Macallan

Скрытый текст

Imagine my surprise when it was not only imaginative and void of the usual genre cliches but also very well-written - actual character insights, instead of hyperbolic melodrama; dialogue that could actually happen; and just enough description to make the settings alive but not intrusive. He kept me guessing (doesn't happen often!) and caring what happened next. This was a new author for me (under any of his pseudonyms) and I hope his other books are this engaging.

Black Swan Rising

On the verge of financial ruin, Garet finds herself on a rainy evening stepping into a small antiques shop, run by a man named John Dee. From there a wonderful story unfolds about lost love persisting, the magic underlying our lives, duties crossing many generations, vampires, and all the wonderful little plot treasures that come in a fine, traditional fantasy novel.

The authors know the form very well and satisfy the reader completely. The only fault I can find with the book is that it ended! I wanted more of these characters!
