Tearmoon Empire: Volume 9

Synopsis

Donning a precious keepsake dress made by her mother, ex-selfish-princess Mia throws open the doors to the ballroom and prepares to confront the swirling conspiracy threatening to swallow the whole of Sunkland. It is here that the Crown Prince Sion is prophesied to be fatally poisoned by his younger brother, Echard. The death of either brother would surely lead to ruin, so Mia needs a plan to avert disaster.
 
After considerable (by Mia standards) thought, she devises a brilliant (again, by Mia standards) scheme. It’s time for Operation Keep-Sion-Dancing-So-He-Never-Has-a-Chance-to-Drink-Anything! Unsurprisingly, her plan falls flat almost immediately, as the myriad factions and players in this game of power are hardly willing to sit idly by and allow her to interfere with their goals.
 
When she’s up against Sion’s burden of justice, Echard’s inferiority complex, AND Sunkland’s complex political background, can Mia lead everyone toward a better, brighter future?

Best Sister Ever - Sometimes...

Ron Dudderie

In Best Sister Ever we meet Martin, hard at work in an empty office, dismantling the company he has built from the ground up. His bankruptcy cost him his life's work and his marriage. With hardly any money left, he retreats to a small cottage somewhere in the woods in Holland. 
His sister Kate, 16 years his junior, finds him there and takes him to London. She hooks him up with a job in showbusiness and so begins a mad, hilarious and occasionally erotic adventure, in which Martin meets several amazing women who do much to rebuild his confidence. Martin ends up on stage and as a TV sidekick, but will he get back his IT career? And what is Kate's secret? 
You'll laugh until you cry over this immensely funny and deeply touching romance story, of a love that truly lasts a lifetime. Prepare to fall in love, because once you have met Kate, Melody, Martin and their friends, you will want to live in their world. 
This mildly erotic but mostly outrageously funny romp dazzled Literotica readers and has inspired seven more books to date. Ron Dudderie is a comedy genius, who effortlessly switches between heart stopping drama and riotous fun. 
This audiobook is slightly abridged, to make it accessible to a broader audience.

Dogs Like Us

John Holder

People often chose a dog that resembles themselves, consciously or unconsciously.  Even scientific experiments have proved it. For example, you rarely find a Hell's Angel with a bichon frisé, or a sweet little old lady with a bulldog. A gentle quiet academic wouldn't normally chose a boisterous border collie, nor would an energetic teenager chose a basset hound.

Our beloved dogs are rather like our choice of car or the clothes we wear. The science writer David Robson says, 'The canine mini-me reveals a narcissistic tendency in us all.'

In these humorous, colourful illustrations of doppelgänger dogs, artist John Holder has depicted a superb, visually entertaining collection of dogs and their owners in all their lookalike glory. A treat for dog owners everywhere.

The Art of Falling in Love with...

Anne Kemp

All's fair in love and war . . . until your brother brings his bad boy, ice hockey playing best friend into your life. 
 
 
 
Riley: I'm pouring all my savings into launching my own catering business, so the last thing I need is distraction. Even if he is six feet five inches tall, plays ice hockey, and is probably one of the most intriguing, and also maddening, people I've met. Ever. 
 
 
 
People say he's grumpy, but to me, he's funny and kind, too. He's misunderstood and even though he's one of the most famous players coming up in the ranks right now, he doesn't feel seen by those he loves . . . and I get that. But I've got my own fears: that my dreams fail, my mother keeps rejecting me, and the big one—my fear of commitment. 
 
 
 
Jake: Getting suspended for 'anger issues' lands me in Sweetkiss Creek at my agent's request. Licking my wounds and taking a time out sounds ridiculous . . . until I meet her. She's feisty, sassy, and fiery enough that I swear she could melt the ice I skate on. 
 
 
 
I never would have thought I'd find solace and an unexpected ally in the person who's old bedroom I'm staying in. The last thing I want or need is to fall in love—but for some reason my heart isn't getting the memo.

The Black Dress

Deborah Moggach

“A darkly funny novel about betrayal, loneliness and the surprising pleasure of being single again” from the author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (Good Housekeeping). At sixty-nine years old, Pru has found herself alone for the first time in her life. Her grown children are out of the house, and her husband, Greg, has filed for divorce. She attributes Greg’s betrayal to a cancer scare and a more-than-midlife crisis, but that doesn’t make her feel any better—or less lonely. It seems that nothing—not even her eccentric, free-spirited best friend, Azra—can pull her out of her depression. Until Pru sees a black dress in a thrift store window . . . Its sleek silhouette calls to mind long-gone days of cocktail parties and sophisticated conversation. And it gives Pru a brilliant idea: where better to wear a black dress—and find age-appropriate single men—than at a funeral? As Pru combs through the obituaries and attends masses and wakes, she finds comfort among the bereaved. After all, they’re all grieving someone they have lost. But Pru’s about to discover that though her new dating plan may get her out of the house and back on the market, the life she’s so desperately trying to leave behind isn’t done with her yet . . . “With dry wit and observation, Moggach tackles the perils of ageing with brutal honesty.” —Daily Express “This page-turner is like the best wakes, it will make you feel hungry and alive.” —The Times (London) “As ever with Moggach, the joy is in her witty observations of middle-class life and bracingly tart portrayal of family relationships.” —Daily Mail
