Mary Balogh - The Suitor (22 июля) The Survivors' Club, #1.5 This e-novella was written at the request of my editor at Dell as a little something to precede the publication of The Arrangement, Book 2 of the Survivors' Club septet. There is a scene at the beginning of The Arrangement in which the hero, the young and blind Vincent, Viscount Darleigh, is confronted with a bride chosen by his family without his consent and invited to his home. He has nothing against Miss Dean, but he really does not want to marry her, and he tries to make her dislike him before fleeing ignominiously with his valet and proceeding onward to the rest of his story. I did try to make all well for the poor abandoned Miss Dean by making reference late in the book to the fact that she was about to make a love match with the nephew and heir of the Duke of Stanbrook, one of the Survivors. Their story was not told, however, because it had no relevance to that particular book. I was delighted to be able to fill in the blanks of their story by writing this novella. Philippa Dean, daughter of a not-very-wealthy gentleman with other children to provide for, is making her come-out in London and has a number of admirers. However, all she can dream about is the rakish young man with whom she fell in love a couple of years ago just before he was banished by her father, who discovered them together in what appeared to be compromising circumstances. Since then, Julian Crabbe has turned his life around and become both respectable and eligible. And he is on his way to London to court her. All that stands between them and their happily-ever-after is the need to prove to her father that Julian is now a worthy candidate for her hand. However, Mr. Dean has just been presented with a dazzlingly eligible marital prospect for his daughter. The immensely wealthy—but blind—young Viscount Darleigh is in search of a bride, and Philippa and her family have been invited to visit his stately country home with a view toward a possible engagement.

What happens when the matchmaker doesn’t want to help him?

His father, the Duke of Landsdowne is not amused, and when he cuts off Nicholas’ trust fund, the fun-loving marquess is forced to find an alternate source of income—in other words, he has to marry an heiress. Every new-money American heiress knows Lady Belinda Featherstone is the key to social acceptance. Once a new-money nobody herself, Belinda discovered first-hand how heartbreaking the game of love and matrimony could be after a reprobate British earl married her for her money. Now a respectable widow, Belinda has become England’s most successful matchmaker, guiding young American heiresses through the hazards of the London season and helping them to find husbands worthy of them. To her mind, the Marquess of Trubridge is nothing but a fortune-hunting scoundrel and she has no intention of allowing him to charm his way into any American girl’s heart, including her own.

Andrea Kane - The Stranger You Know (24 сентября) Forensic Instincts, #3 College-age girls with long red hair. Brutally murdered, they're posed like victims in a film noir. Each crime scene is eerily similar to the twisted fantasy of a serial offender now serving thirty years to life— a criminal brought to justice with the help of Forensic Instincts. Call. Kill. Repeat. But the similarities are more than one psychopath's desire to outdo another. As more red-headed victims are added to the body count, it becomes clear that each one has been chosen because of a unique connection to Casey— a connection that grows closer and closer to her. Now the Forensic Instincts team must race to uncover the identity of a serial killer before his ever-tightening circle of death closes in on Casey as the ultimate target. As the stalker methodically moves in on his prey, his actions make one thing clear: he knows everything about Casey. And Casey realizes that this psychopathic won't stop until he makes sure she's dead.

When he gets sucked into an alternate reality where his mother has married his mentor and his Atlantean god best friend has become a human geek, he begins to understand that no life is free of pain, and that every person has a specific place in the universe… Even the son of a hated demon. Most of all, he sees that his powers aren’t the curse he thought they were, and that the world needs a champion, especially one its enemies can’t imagine rising up to defend the ones he should destroy. Old enemies and new friends square off for a major battle that will either restore Nick to his real world, or end him forever.

Свежая новость про Джудит Макнот:

June 11, 2013

The latest and greatest on the upcoming book:

Although the new book is as of yet untitled (JM says she has changed the title "at least five times"), it seems that there may be news on the horizon for JM fans who are dying for more info!

According to Judith, she has changed the heroine's name--twice. Presumably, then, Holly Braxton is no longer the heroine of the upcoming book.

Perhaps what is more telling is what Judith didn't say: She made no mention of changing the name of the hero! Could that mean that the hero is still a modern day Clayton Westmoreland??

I don't know about y'all, but the thought is enough to have me reaching for the smelling salts.

More to come!

As always, should anyone have any further insight into this fascinating topic, please send me a line or post your update on the Message Board so I can share it with our fellow JM fans!


Общий смысл: в этой жизни нам книги не дождаться. Ее уже пять раз переименовывали, и сейчас она опять без названия. Имя героини тоже уже дважды поменяли...

[doutant]

Как в песне поется? "Наверно, в будущей жизни..." А жаль, хотелось бы еще одну книгу от Макнот почитать. Может пойти перечитать что нибудь?..

Now the New York Times bestselling author shoots to thrill again with Do or Die, the electrifying new novel that is certain to win Brockmann new readers and delight devotees. Navy SEAL Ian Dunn went rogue in a big way when he turned his talents to a lawless life of jewel heists and con jobs. Or so the world has been led to believe. In reality, the former Special Ops warrior is still fighting for good, leading a small band of freelance covert operatives who take care of high-stakes business in highly unofficial ways. That makes Ian the hands-down choice when the U.S. government must breach a heavily guarded embassy and rescue a pair of children kidnapped by their own father, a sinister foreign national willing to turn his own kids into casualties. Shockingly, Ian passes on the mission . . . for reasons he will not--or cannot--reveal. But saying no is not an option. Especially not to Phoebe Kruger, Ian's bespectacled, beautiful, and unexpectedly brash new attorney.

Jayne Ann Krentz - River Road (7 января 2014 г.) From the New York Times–bestselling author of Dream Eyes and Copper Beach, a brand-new quintessential Jayne Ann Krentz romance.   It's been thirteen years since Lucy Sheridan was in Summer River. The last time she visited her aunt Sara there, as a teenager, she'd been sent home suddenly after being dragged out of a wild party—by the guy she had a crush on, just to make it more embarrassing. Obviously Mason Fletcher—only a few years older but somehow a lot more of a grown-up—was the overprotective type who thought he had to come to her rescue. Now, returning after her aunt's fatal car accident, Lucy is learning there was more to the story than she realized at the time. Mason had saved her from a very nasty crime that night—and soon afterward, Tristan, the cold-blooded rich kid who'd targeted her, disappeared mysteriously, his body never found. A lot has changed in thirteen years. Lucy now works for a private investigation firm as a forensic genealogist, while Mason has quit the police force to run a successful security firm with his brother—though he still knows his way around a wrench when he fills in at his uncle's local hardware store. Even Summer River has changed, from a sleepy farm town into a trendy upscale spot in California's wine country. But Mason is still a protector at heart, a serious (and seriously attractive) man. And when he and Lucy make a shocking discovery inside Sara's house, and some of Tristan's old friends start acting suspicious, Mason's quietly fierce instincts kick into gear. He saved Lucy once, and he'll save her again. But this time, she insists on playing a role in her own rescue . . .

И отдельно про Джудит Макнот. Это не совсем новость, но все-таки:

The latest and greatest on the new Westmoreland Trilogy:

It's official! Judith announced on Facebook that she is working on "the Westmoreland Trilogy, featuring the modern-day American descendants of the Westmoreland Dynasty!"

*THUD* (Was me, fainting.)

The first book in the trilogy is as of yet untitled. JM says she has changed the title "at least five times", and has changed the heroine's name--twice. Presumably, then, Holly Braxton is no longer the heroine of the upcoming book.

Here is what JM had to say about the trilogy and the delay of the new book in a post on Amazon.com:

 

"Judith McNaught is working very hard on the first of a three-book contemporary series centered on the fabulous Westmoreland men in current day America. The reason for the long delay is that her mother became critically ill and she put her writing aside to care for her mother during the year before her death. Sorrow, combined with the seemingly endless details of handling her mother's estate, made it impossible for her to concentrate on writing for nearly another year. Finally, she went back to work and was more than half finished with the first book in the series--when she realized it should be the second book in the series. Which meant she had to start all over with book one! On the plus side, book two will be released much sooner than usual because it's already half written. By the way, she's changed her mind about using the title, Can't Take My Eyes Off of You, because she doesn't like it very much anymore.

I know all that I've written here is the absolute truth. You can take my word on it. Because I am Judith McNaught. LOL"

Лежу в обмороке вместе с автором сообщения. ДОСЕЛЕ НЕСУЩЕСТВУЮЩАЯ КНИГА ПРЕВРАЩАЕТСЯ... ПРЕВРАЩАЕТСЯ... ПРЕВРАЩАЕТСЯ В ТРИЛОГИЮ.

   А я начинаю тихо ее ненавидеть...

 А я начинаю тихо ее ненавидеть...

А я уже просто не жду. Разве мне без Макнот читать нечего будет? Отнюдь, вон какие анонсы! Так что и тебе, Надюш, предлагаю ждать чего-нибудь позитивного. Например, новую Дэр. До января не так уж долго осталось.
