Ophelia. Olvidar o amar (Las Dankworth #Volumen 4)
by Perla Rot¿Podrá Ophelia volver a amar después de perder al hombre que, creyó, sería su compañero para toda la vida? La apasionante serie de época Las Dankworth. Cinco hermanas. Cinco personalidades diferentes atravesadas por un mismo sentimiento: el amor en sus distintas formas de expresión. Soñadora y romántica, Ophelia, la cuarta de las hermanas Dankworth, descubre que el amor no es como lo imaginaba. Decepcionada, abandona el hogar antes de lo previsto para presentarse en su nuevo trabajo como institutriz. El cariño de la pequeña a la que debe instruir y el trato cordial que le dispensa lord Howard, el padre de esta, lograrán, poco a poco, devolverle la alegría por la que se caracterizaba. Sin embargo, otras serán las emociones que se apoderen de ella cuando conozca al contable del noble, Liam Aldrich, quien no tiene el menor reparo en enfrentarla y juzgarla. Una lucha de voluntades nacerá entre ellos, y solo cuando comprendan que olvidar no es dejar de lado sus sentimientos, podrán abrir sus corazones y reconocer el amor que los une. Reseña:«Hacía tiempo que deseaba tener en mis manos novelas así, de raigambre victoriana, donde mujeres valientes tuvieran que abrirse paso en una sociedad de costumbres rígidas y espíritu condenatorio. Y que todas ellas sean, además, hermanas y nacidas en un ambiente rural, dotadas sólo de la fuerza de su corazón para sobrevivir, le otorga a esta serie un atractivo que ya es universal. ¡Dejemos entrar a las Dankworth y feliz lectura para todos!».Gloria V.

Opposing Forces
by Aldivan Teixeira Torres Jillian Kostora da Silva"Opposing Forces" presents itself as an alternative to overcoming the great duality that exists in each one of us. How many times in life are we faced with situations in which both alternatives have favorable and unfavorable circumstances and the act of choosing one of them becomes true martyrdom. We must learn to reflect and think carefully about which the true path to be followed is and also the consequences of that choice. Finally, we need to assemble the "opposing forces" of our lives and make them bear fruit. Thus, we can achieve a much desired happiness. As for the aspect of the book, we can say that it came from a cry that I heard in the cave of despair. This cry was the cause of all the adventures told in the book. Mission accomplished, I hope I have reached my ultimate goal which is to make just one person dream. This is what I propose even more now since we live in a world full of violence, cruelty and injustice. The "opposing forces" never again will be the same after its publication and I cannot wait to start a new adventure together with readers who also intend to do so. The Author

Opposites Attract
by Renee BaronDoes your partner want to go out on Friday nights when you prefer to curl up at home with a movie? Does your neat-freak boyfriend always want to clean up your cluttered office? Does your wife want to plan trips six months in advance while you're a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants kind of person? The truth is, opposites attract. People who are different from each other in fundamental ways often catch each other's attention. We are attracted to the very qualities we wish we had ourselves. A shy person looks for a mate who is outgoing and gregarious to provide a social circle, and the outgoing person may need to be with someone who won't compete with him for attention. It seems like the perfect match-that is, until those very differences that originally attracted us start to drive us crazy. But these differences don't have to drive couples apart. Renee Baron, a marriage and family therapist with more than twenty-five years of experience, uses the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator to provide a practical program for learning to appreciate our differences, rather than fight over them. The MBTI is the most widely used personality indicator in the world. By discovering your innate personality preferences and those of your partner, you can stop having the same fights over and over again and start appreciating the gifts each of you offers to the relationship.
