Beschreibung

In Ouida's novel 'The Massarenes,' readers are swept into the extravagant world of the British aristocracy as they navigate love, ambition, and societal expectations. Written in a lush and vivid style, the book captures the opulence and excess of the Victorian era, while also delving into the personal struggles and desires of its characters. Ouida's keen eye for detail and sharp wit provide a compelling narrative that keeps readers engaged from start to finish. The Massarenes is a prime example of romantic literature that encapsulates the tensions between tradition and modernity in 19th-century Britain. Through a mix of decadent settings and complex characters, the novel offers a rich tapestry of human emotions and relationships that still resonate with readers today.

    With less than a year of experience under his belt and only one big case behind him, FBI Special Agent Angus Green has joined the rarefied group of agents who have been wounded in the line of duty. 
    Now, assigned to a desk job while he recovers, Angus wonders if he's chosen the right career. He's been following his late father's dream for a life of adventure and travel—and instead encountered danger, pain and heartbreak. 
    But when he discovers that gay teens are being sexually abused by a pornographer in the same neighborhood where he lives, he has to step up and bring his intelligence, his determination and his unique insights to save these young men. 
    The case takes him from Fort Lauderdale's seamy underbelly to boisterous beachfront bars where big-fish Russian émigrés launder illegal cash. He'll befriend a beautiful Russian-American undercover agent and rekindle a romance with a man who makes him feel protected. 
    In the end, he'll learn the truth of a saying he learned as a boy – there is a price to pay for every decision we make. Nobody rides for free.

    The pulp fiction classic. “Taylor was able to creatively incorporate her radical politics with lesbian feminism and her marketable craft of storytelling.”—Marcia M.

When her husband suggests that she go back to university to finish her degree, Frances leaps at the chance—which happens to bring her Mary Baker, Bake to her friends, who soon becomes her lover . . . a fast-paced and melodramatic story.”—Lesbrary“Valerie Taylor stands out, for the politics and realism she packs into her tight little stories . . . Taylor’s real subversion is to continue her heroine’s story in another book. Like Ann Bannon before her, Taylor unravels her earlier book’s hetero conclusion in a sequel—the tellingly named Return to Lesbos.”—Lambda Literary

    Ben has been baking his grandma's cinnamon rolls at the family café for years. He's been quietly in love with Adam Reed, his musician-slash-mechanic neighbor, for just as long. But Ben's done waiting behind the pastry case. He's entered a make-or-break competition to show off his own recipes. He's going to buy his overprotective family out of the business. And he's going to ask Adam out. TONIGHT. Except his big plans get punched down before they even half-rise. Soon Ben is dashing down the coast to his grandma's eightieth birthday party, hiding his broken heart in Maywell Bay, California. Sun, sea, and fresh breezes should blow in something new—except they don't. They blow in Adam Reed, grinning like a pirate and stealing the show as the musical entertainment hired by Grandma for her big bash. Grandma's signature Heartbreak Tea is the only remedy, and Grandma's tea could take the paint off a fence. But there's a burn of truth along with the booze in his bottle, and Ben has a decision to make. Can he take the sweetness in front of him, and brave the bitterness that comes after? Or is a little sea salt just what this cinnamon roll needs? Salty cinnamon rolls? Ew. Ben would never.
