Anne, Queen of Hearts.. The vivid days of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn are brought to life in this lively, and long, novel -- interspersed with the love letters from Henry. ** EMMA! By Jane Austen..
Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a
comfortable home and happy disposition, seemed to unite some of the
best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-one years
in the world with very little to distress or vex her. *** There has always been more romance in France than anywhere else
in the world, and La Plume of Alexandre Dumas has inked more than a
thousand brilliant works but THE THREE
MUSKETEERS is probably the one work from that immortal pen that
is remembered by more of his many admirers than any other title. Monte Cristo, a huge novel by Alexandre Dumas, that needs no introduction. Dreams and Blushes by Mary Hastings Bradley. Maria had never been kissed before. She was an innocent from abroad and she fell head over heels in love with the very first American boy she met. But, what would Mamma say if Mamma knew she had spent a whole night with a boy, alone all night with a boy and she had been kissed, not just once, but several times? Men did not ask for dower settlements in America. They could please themselves and marry a pretty, penniless face. . . . Besides, what was saved on Maria's dowry would plump out Julietta's. America. . . . A husband. . . . Travel. . . . Adventure. . . . The unknown. . . . It was wonderful. It was unbelievable. . . . It was also likely to be quite desperate. It was, in fact, a hazard of the sharpest chance. She did not know the ways over there! That knowledge brought a chill of gravity into the hot currents of her fluttering heart—a chill that was the cold breath of a terrific responsibility. She felt herself to be the sole hope, the sole resource of her family. Maria was the die on which their throw of fortune was to be cast. She MUST get a husband, and FAST! How could an innocent from abroad do that in an America where flappers could both come and go; where the competition set no limits of any kind? Flaming Forests is a free romance novel set early in the last century. A top manhunter mountie is shot by mistake and his murderess works to save his life, certain that if he lives the mountie will march her off to 20 years in prison. The mountie falls in love with his nurse, and he is willing to forgive and forget -- until he discovers she is married to the very man he is hunting down as a vicious killer. A superb thriller as well as a great romance. You'll find the book stashed behind your entersanctum gate. Shadows of Illinois. Young John Wayland went into the wilderness of Illinois on a mission to bring a young orphan girl back from Fort Dearborn to live with his family. Soon he found himself torn between duty and love on a wild frontier. Would he save the girl he came after, or the woman he had fallen helplessly in love with along with the dashing French Captain that she adored? *** ***
Gift of the Iroquois: The
next moment I had pushed in among them, forcing the hilarious circle
to open; and I heard her quick, uneven breathing as I elbowed my way
to her, and turned on the men good-humoredly. ***
Beth Norvell: Winston was by nature a gentleman; almost
before he had grasped the full significance of it all he stepped
silently backward, and gently closed the door. For an uncertain
moment he remained there staring blankly at the wood, that haunting
memory once again mocking every vain attempt to associate this
girl-face with some other he had known before. Finally, leaving
valise and overcoat lying in the hall, he retraced his way slowly
down the stairs. Green Mansions. A fugitive from the government plunges deep into the jungles of Venezuela for refuge. There he discovers a keening romance with the woman of his dreams, an angel living in the green mansions of the jungle.
Margaret Tudor When I began
this tale of our captivity it was with the hope that I might find
some means of sending it to friends, in this country or in England,
who would interest themselves in obtaining our release. However,
from what Mr. Collins told me, I feel assured that news of Mr.
Rivers's capture has already been sent to their Lordships the
proprietors, and this record of mine seems now but wasted labour.
Yet from time to time, for my own solace, I shall add to it; and
perchance, some day in safety and freedom, I and -- -- another -- --
may together read its tear-stained pages.
What happens when a family suddenly gets
enough money to play with and
probably won't have to pay it back? That word "probably" really
throws the brakes on, doesn't it?
The Way Of All Flesh needs
explaining. If you will go into this as if it were a gothic
romance you will not be far disappointed. It is still
distinctively male for inclination and presentation. *** The Mummy's Left Foot: It is hard to chase your foot down through the dusty corridors of time when it has such devilish help in getting away, but then her luck began to turn: Suddenly a spark of wheeling light twirled in a stream of dusty sun beams and I caught a gleam of sparkle on the ankle of a woman's charming foot. How can I describe that foot, or the impact it made upon me? Every angle, every curve in it was perfect, perfect when I first looked upon that sweet left foot that I took for a fragment torn off of some antique Venus that had been shattered in some ancient earthquake, perhaps. Ah, but I was dreaming, as one does, you know, when the romance spirit rises up into the head and claims the soul. *** Meadows and Myst: Where do thoughts go at the end of day? Do they dance through the meadows and climb to the stars on the evening myst? And what if someone steals them before they leave, someone snuggling close to you, someone fascinated, ravenously fascinated with every word you say? Can you break the bond set that night? Can you make yourself stay away? When a poet turns his fancy to writing a novel it turns into the story of a playwright composing a play and a sculptor composing songs. One can naturally expect daylight shadows to give forth radiant butterflies, but then ladies of darkness leap across the stage of time and the poet sees his play being read from the lips of the greatest novelist of the century --word for word, his own, right up to the thrilling end. Can he find his way back to the island and wind his way through the bright meadows and the evening's thickening myst? For Life has kissed me full upon the lips as it paused in fleeting by, but I left no impression there, nor am I myst. *** Rummy-Go Rummy-Go is an archaic expression used to signify a state of bewilderment. In this short romance mystery an English duke is confronted with the kidnaping of his beloved wife and struggles valiantly to keep her alive without paying a vast sum for her release. The modern, suspicious reader wonders all the way through just how many close friends were involved in the abduction and taking a cut in the ransom -- Rummy-Go is a short romance, perhaps a mystery, and definitely a good piece of humor that you will just know may be cut short in tragedy at any second. Don't miss this ***
The Southerner,... In reading this epic romance, please remember that it is not just a northern echo of Gone With the Wind. This sweeping novel contains many incidents that might even appear far fetched at first glance, yet they were dug right out of the pages of history. Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis were born within just a few miles of each other. Both were Southern gentlemen in their thought processes character. It was only the tragic sweep of history that brought them back face to face in the bloodiest war ever fought on earth, where gallantry was still precious and ideals were commodities sold on the auction block to the highest bidder. No war was ever watched with more earnest interest by the rest of the world than the American Civil War. ***
*** A Romance of Exmoor. One of the best romances you will ever read. At present I am working on it piece by piece, but you are welcome to sift through the debris now because it may take ages to get this one right. I Will Love Your Twin Spirit. It used to be there was a feeling, almost a belief, among the Native Americans of the Great Plains that each of them had a twin spirit, one that was almost them in outlook and ways. This theory can erase loneliness, but sometimes it is even more powerful. Because life was so uncertain among the Native Americans one that felt his or her life was waning could assign a lover to find that one's twin spirit and love them "as you have loved me." Antelope's story is almost like that, except that the one he loves doesn't tell him to go, find her twin spirit, until after her death. And when he finds the twin spirit of his loved one, she is chief among the tribe that hates his most. High Mountain Love.. Love never knocks at a convenient time. This is one of the truly wonderful love stories set in a time when those with little thought they were rich and made do with great enthusiasm. Love is tender and sure as it moves forward in the high mountains.
*** Prisoner of Love by Joan Conquest The Courtly Lover, by Ellis Parker Butler, reveals how well a marriage by-the-numbers proceeds in a time when horse and buggy was still the primary method of transporting your beloved from point A to point B. Russian Steppes.. By Alexander Pushkin. Where does duty lie when love rises? For Love of Country.. a novel set in the early stages of the American Revolutionary War. Spanish Love, Love and Valour, Swash-buckling love of the finest kind. Here is high-born love for the lover of romance. Let the brother of the king find love for himself, and not the one appointed his mate by jealous fate.
A romance from the frozen north *** Martin Eden.. the best book that Jack London ever wrote. *** Loved Well: Could Acton possibly have said anything definite to start this unusual train of thought, the grandmother speculated. |

A Knight of the Wilderness Abe and Ann are matched again in this romance of the western frontier. Set in the Blackhawk war time frame you'll find Abe already setting out on the trail that leads to greatness in the eyes of all that know him. Ann is a prize any man might wish to win.
Fore Love Sliced from a bygone age when love was LOE, golf is the background and indeed it is the driving force of this beautiful novel. I'm sure that if I understood the game I would love this book all the more, but even in my complete ignorance I was fascinated with the entire book.
The Light That Failed By Rudyard Kipling. Rudyard is so well known for his juvenile titles that romantic love story masterpieces like this one are virtually forgotten in the shrouds of time. When The Wood Gods Dance, A romance from Denmark, by Hans Christian Andersen. Yes, another romance almost lost forever, this one from Brother Andersen, and it is very, very good. Please RIGHT CLICK on the title, and download it to your computer so you can share it with your friends when you discover just how good it is.
Under The Redwoods
by Bret Harte LOVE OF LIFE, by Jack London Yes, Here is an exciting collection of frozen north short stories by the great author, Jack London. Because Call of the Wild was so wildly successful we sometimes forget that Jack London had many other titles of wildly successful books. At a mere penny per word it is excusable that Jack London produced some work that was less than perfect and fell to the wayside, but as he began to add notches to his belt to accommodate a larger girth, his natural genius was given the time it needed to produce exceedingly great works.

*** A Dashing Romance on the planet Mars
Dare I say it? Dare I say that I, a plain old prosaic lieutenant in
the Republican Service have done all these incredible things here
set forth, and done them for the love of a woman -- No, not for a
woman, for a mere chimera in female shape; for a pale, vapid ghost
of a real woman's loveliness? I know you will laugh if I simply give
you the summary of my travails. *** is another one of the free "page-turning" books furnished us by Browzer Books. Back in its day of publication this was all the rage in England and France for six long years.Here is a teaser.. My father often took us to a place where there were men who drank wine. He used to put me on a table among the glasses, and make me sing. The men would laugh and kiss me, and try and make me drink wine. It was always dark when we went home. My father took long steps, and rocked himself as he walked. He nearly tumbled down lots of times. Sometimes he would begin to cry and say that his house had been stolen. Then my sister used to scream. It was always she who used to find the house. One morning la mère Colas got angry with us and told us that we were children of misfortune, and that she would not feed us any longer. She said we could go and look for our father, who had gone away nobody knew where. When her anger had passed she gave us our breakfasts as usual, but a few days afterwards we were put into père Chicon's cart. The cart was full of straw and bags of corn. I was tucked away behind in a little hollow between the sacks. The cart tipped down at the back, and every jolt made me slip on the straw. |
