Robar un corazón
by Be Cardigan-Bueno, es el típico caso de chica buena conoce chico malo. Julia se ha liado con el hombre indebido, él ha sacado algunas fotos de ella con escasa indumentaria, se han peleado y ella ahora quiere las fotos de vuelta. -¿Y él se niega a devolverlas? Asiento toqueteando el húmedo botellín de mi sidra. Julia Parks me ha ofrecido una cantidad desorbitada por recuperar esas fotos. Necesito ese dinero. Debería ser dinero fácil, pero la cosa se ha complicado. -No sé cómo voy a entrar en esa fraternidad. Savannah pestañea e inclina el rostro hacia un lado como a veces hacen los perros. Se le está ocurriendo algo. La veo mirar de nuevo hacia Ritz y cuando sus ojosvuelven a mi tiene una sonrisa maliciosa. -Hay una forma muy fácil de entrar en la habitación de un hombre -dice y alza ambas cejas. Soy hija de un ilustre ladrón coreano de guante blanco, quien me enseñó todo tipo de trucos para apropiarme de lo ajeno. Mi objetivo vive en la casa más segura y vigilada de toda la jodida ciudad, lo que hace imposible que llegue hasta su habitación sin que me descubran. Colarme en su casa queda descartado. Ken Ritz debe medir casi dos metros. Su cabello largo y castaño claro y su despeinada barba le dan un aspecto de motero peligroso que contrasta con la dulzura de sus ojos azules y su rostro joven. Sus hombros y su espalda tienen la anchura de un guerrero vikingo y sus bíceps parecen querer romper las mangas cortas y dobladas de su camisa. Lleva un tatuaje del hombro hasta la mitad del brazo y pulseras de cuero en las muñecas. Todos sus movimientos denotan una cosa: peligro. No puedo hacer lo que sugiere mi mejor amiga. No puedo plantarme delante del chico malo y seducirle, para luego robarle.

Robber Bride
by Deborah SimmonsMaiden-Warrior-Lover!This was the litany Simon de Burgh chanted whenever he gazed upon Bethia Burnel. Gifted with fighting prowess to rival any of his knights, the maddening woman had laid siege to his vision of how the world should be-and captured his heart in the battle!Simon de Burgh was infuriating-full of raw power and male conviction, even when Bethia had him bound hand and foot, deep in her forest lair.

Robert Browning on Love
by Stephen BrennanThe love affair between Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett is one of the Victorian era’s most famous romances. It was one of passions, tragedy, illness, and ultimately, endurance. The beginning of their relationship was luckily documented and preserved via their letters, which have been archived at Wellesley College since 1930. While these exchanges are some of the most popular reads for Victorian literature enthusiasts, Robert had more to say about the abstract idea of love. He continued to express his thoughts and feelings on the subject of romance, marriage, familial love and respect, unrequited love, loving thyself, and even friendship. Robert Browning On Love conveniently collects these thoughts, which have been previously published in Browning’s poems, plays, and, of course, his letters to his beloved wife, Elizabeth. These include: "Best be yourself, imperial, plain, and true. ” "Take away love and our earth is a tomb. ” "I was made and meant to look for you and wait for you and become yours forever. ” "Love, hope, fear, faith--these make humanity; these are its sign and note and character. ”
Robert Graves' Greek Epics: The Anger of Achilles and Hercules, My Shipmate
by Robert GravesRobert Graves’ Greek Epics includes the compelling war story, The Anger of Achilles, and the compelling world of Greek mythology in Hercules, My Shipmate. The Anger of Achilles is a novelized interpretation of Homer’s Iliad, told by noted classicist and historical novelist Robert Graves. The war between the Greeks and the Trojans has reached a fever pitch. Offended by Agamemnon, the great Greek warrior Achilles is in his tent, refusing to fight. But then Trojan prince Hector slaughters Patroclus, Achilles’ close friend. Willing or not, Achilles must take revenge for his friend’s death, even if it will result in his own. In this innovative take on the classic tale, Achilles comes to life in all his vivid rage, bravery, passion, and lust for battle. Combining his advanced expertise in ancient Greek warfare and culture with a talent for telling a compelling story, Robert Graves is the ideal translator to bring this ancient epic of war to a modern audience. Hercules, My Shipmate is an inventive reimagining of the story of Jason and the Argonauts, this novel by renowned poet and classicist Robert Graves brings heroic figures of Hellenistic myth to life. Graves’ Jason is belligerent, energetic, and full of life, and the society Graves builds for him is outlandish and deeply invested in ancient cults. Against this primitive, religious backdrop, the charismatic Jason assembles a crew and sets out to retrieve the sacred gold-trimmed fleece that is sacred to Zeus, and that has been stolen by worshippers of the Triple Goddess. Accompanying him is Hercules, a brave warrior known more for his brawn, and his astonishingly good luck, than his brains. Robert Graves builds a compelling world that sets Hellenistic magic and mystery in a surprisingly gritty, realistic setting, a fascinating read for fans of Greek mythology.
Robert Graves' Greek Mythologies: Greek Gods and Heroes and The Siege and Fall of Troy
by Robert GravesRobert Graves’ Greek Mythologies brings the legends of ancient Greece to life in Greek Gods and Heroes, and the timeless classic, The Siege and Fall of Troy. In Greek Gods and Heroes, renowned classicist and historical novelist Robert Graves brings the legends of ancient Greece to life in a lively, accessible way that’s sure to appeal to everyone; from children to adults, and from casual readers to serious scholars. In the ancient past, the Gods and Goddesses of ancient Greece lived on Mount Olympus, and ruled the world of mortals. Famous heroes shaped the course of history, beautiful women drew the gazes of gods and men alike, and the gods were both fickle in their favors and breathtakingly generous to those they smiled upon. From Midas’ tragic gift to the exploits of Hercules and the curse of Pandora. Written with a younger audience in mind, The Siege and Fall of Troy is nevertheless exhaustively researched and compelling enough to be of interest to both students of history and adult readers. With humor, wit, and energy, Graves is expert at weaving a story based on exhaustive scholarly research and deep imaginative prowess. The Iliad has it all: war, corruption, greed, power, and the passions of both gods and men. In this detailed retelling, Robert Graves draws the major characters of this timeless classic in broad, gritty strokes, making Agamemnon, Paris, Odysseus, and others accessible for young readers.
Robert Pollok’s The Course of Time and Literary Theodicy in the Romantic Age: The Rise and Fall of a Christian Epic (Routledge Studies in Romanticism)
by Deryl DavisThis book explores the contexts and reception history of Robert Pollok’s religious epic The Course of Time (1827), one of the best- selling long poems of the nineteenth century, which has been almost entirely forgotten today. Widely read in the United States and across the British Empire, the poem’s combination of evangelical Calvinism, High Romanticism, and native Scottishness proved irresistible to many readers. This monograph traces the poem’s origins as a defense of Biblical authority, divine providence, and religious orthodoxy (against figures like Byron and Joseph Priestley) and explores the reasons for The Course of Time’s enormous, decades- long popularity and later precipitous decline. A close reading of the poem and an examination of its reception history offers readers important insights into the dynamic relationship between religion and wider culture in the nineteenth century, the uses of literature as a vehicle for theological argument and theodicy, and the important but often overlooked role that religion played in literary— and, particularly, Scottish— Romanticism. This work will appeal to scholars of religious history, literary history, Evangelicalism, Romanticism, Scottish literature, and nineteenth- century culture.
