Beschreibung

R. Austin Freeman's 'Romney Pringle - Complete 12 Book Collection' is a captivating series of mystery novels that follow the adventures of the charming and resourceful gentleman thief, Romney Pringle. The stories are intricately plotted with clever twists and turns that keep the reader guessing until the very end. Freeman's writing style is reminiscent of the Golden Age of Detective Fiction, with a focus on logic, deduction, and attention to detail. Each story is a standalone masterpiece, but when read together, they form a cohesive and engaging series that will leave readers yearning for more. Freeman's attention to detail and meticulous plotting make these novels a true delight for fans of classic detective fiction. R. Austin Freeman, a renowned British author and pioneer of the inverted detective story, was a qualified physician who used his medical knowledge to craft intricate and realistic plots. His fascination with the world of crime and mystery led him to create the enigmatic character of Romney Pringle, whose wit and cunning are unmatched in the genre. Freeman's background in medicine and science adds a unique dimension to his storytelling, making his works both intellectually stimulating and entertaining. I highly recommend 'Romney Pringle - Complete 12 Book Collection' to any reader who enjoys mysteries that challenge the mind and engage the imagination. Freeman's masterful storytelling and unique perspective on crime make this series a must-read for fans of classic detective fiction.

    Exiled, cursed, abandoned—these were the familiar companions of Ryu Suzuki. For years, he had roamed the unforgiving Outlands, relying solely on his Katana to ward off danger. Known as Kuroi Kage, the Black Shadow, he was a phantom Omega, an outcast from his pack, condemned to the treacherous abyss where any sign of vulnerability spelled doom. 
    Ryu had grown accustomed to this solitary existence, finding solace in his isolation. But everything changed when a devastating disease began to sweep through the land, threatening the lives of those he held dear.

Reluctantly, the White Lotus and the Black Shadow found themselves at a crossroads, faced with the unthinkable choice of forging an uneasy truce and venturing into the depths of darkness together, all for the sake of survival. Will they be able to overcome their differences and save their pack, or will their past grudges tear them apart?

    Open Secret An - The Family...

    In 1922 Robert Allerton—described by the Chicago Tribune as the “richest bachelor in Chicago”—met a twenty-two-year-old University of Illinois architecture student named John Gregg, who was twenty-six years his junior. Virtually inseparable from then on, they began publicly referring to one another as father and son within a couple years of meeting. In 1960, after nearly four decades together, and with Robert Allerton nearing ninety, they embarked on a daringly nonconformist move: Allerton legally adopted the sixty-year-old Gregg as his son, the first such adoption of an adult in Illinois history. 
     
    An Open Secret tells the striking story of these two iconoclasts, locating them among their queer contemporaries and exploring why becoming father and son made a surprising kind of sense for a twentieth-century couple who had every monetary advantage but one glaring problem: they wanted to be together publicly in a society that did not tolerate their love. Deftly exploring the nature of their design, domestic, and philanthropic projects, Nicholas L. Syrett illuminates how viewing the Allertons as both a same-sex couple and an adopted family is crucial to understanding their relationship’s profound queerness. By digging deep into the lives of two men who operated largely as ciphers in their own time, he opens up provocative new lanes to consider the diversity of kinship ties in modern US history.

    A stress-baking werewolf, a unionizing fox, and a romance they never expected. 
      
    Bennett Reynard needs one thing: to speak to the Rougarou about starting a union for shifters in New York City before the delegation arrives. When his dirigible finally lands in Louisiana, he finds the Rougarou is gone and in his stead is his handsome son, Theo, who seems to care for everyone but himself. Hoping he can still petition the Rougarou, Bennett stays only to find he is growing dangerously close to Theo Bisclavret. 
    Theo Bisclavret thought he had finally come to terms with never being able to take his father's place as the Rougarou, but with his father stuck in England and a delegation of werewolves arriving in town, Theo's quiet life is thrown into chaos as he and his sister take over his duties. Assuming his father's place has salted old wounds, but when a stranger arrives offering to help, Theo knows he can't say no, even if Mr. Reynard makes him long for things he had sworn off years ago. 
    As rivals arrive to challenge Theo for power and destroy the life Bennett has built, they know they must face their greatest fears or risk losing all they have fought for. With secrets threatening to topple their worlds, can Theo and Bennett let down their walls before it's too late?

    In the whirlwind of early 20th-century Germany, Heinrich Himmler grapples with questions of masculinity and identity amidst a society in flux. Denied the opportunity to prove himself in war, Himmler is forced to confront his own biases when faced with the complexities of homosexuality. 
    Coming from a conservative background, Himmler's beliefs clash with the realization that masculinity can manifest in diverse ways, including within the LGBTQ+ community. As he ascends to power, his inner struggle reaches a climax with the notorious Bad Tölz speech of 1937, marking a dark chapter in Nazi history. 
    "Himmler's Secret Desire" delves deep into Himmler's journey, offering insights into Nazi attitudes towards gender and sexuality. It serves as a poignant reminder of the dangers of prejudice and the ongoing pursuit of acceptance and understanding.

    Insatiable omega king, his countless lovers, and one rough commoner who changes everything... 
    King Sebastian 
    Something has changed with the heat. Not just my body but my soul has changed too. I can’t sleep without Jonah in my bed or touch my belly without my mind drifting to him. This wasn’t a part of my plan—I wasn’t supposed to care for this man at all, let alone crave him by my side constantly. 
    Rumors circle that a peasant has become my favorite lover, but nobody knows the truth. Jonah means so much more to me. Can a commoner become the king’s true mate? 
    Jonah 
    Like wind and water, he escapes through the gaps between my fingers when I try to hold him. He’s all-powerful, my Sebastian, the god of passion and fertility, and I’m a believer now. But no matter how much I love him, I can’t claim the king as mine. Or can I? 
    A mere horse handler, I walk freely in and out of the king’s bedrooms, and his noble guards hold the doors open for me. No other alpha is allowed to call the king by his name, it’s my touch he seeks when he’s tired or upset, and I am the only man he’s ever begged for pain and pleasure. 
    Maybe I am strong enough to collar wind and water. 
    — 
    Hedonist: King's Mate is the second and final book in a duet and contains a happily ever after for the main characters. The first book, Hedonist: King’s Heat, follows the early stages of Sebastian and Jonah’s unusual relationship, and you should read it before starting this one. 
    Hedonist is a paranormal erotic romance, inspired by MM omegaverse.
