Book excerpt: From USA Today bestselling author Linda Needham, comes a "passionate, heart-wrenching tale of honor and justice, loyalty and betrayal, love and forgiveness" set in England during the politically turbulent and often dangerous 12th Century. An Inconvenient Marriage; an Unexpected Love To honor a deathbed promise to her foster father, Kailey Hewett must marry Simon Rutledge, Henry II's chief justiciar - a darkly forbidding, mystery of a man. As she leaves her home and all she holds dear, Kailey wonders how she can keep her pledge to give this stern man his "heart's peace" - but she vows to create a new family, no matter what it takes. Simon had intended this marriage as private penance for his still-secret role in the long-ago conspiracy against her father that led to the man's execution for treason. But her generous heart draws him into her ad hoc family of endearing misfits and he quickly finds himself yearning for her forgiveness, yet barred by his own harsh code of justice from accepting the love she offers so freely. Kailey's indomitable spirit and her war against injustice exposes a corrupt merchant, a ransom plot and a murderous Templar, finally teaching her stubbornly resistant husband that mercy is as important as justice-and love and forgiveness can heal all.

There were moments when I laughed, moments where I gasped in surprise, and moments where I knew I could not read fast enough because I had to know what was going to happen next... My only complaint? That it ended and now I need to wait. I must know what happens next. I must!!!!' Series Tracker 'Are you ready for a grip the edge of your seat-repeating mantra of OMG as you turn the pages eagerly? Looking for something with intensity but also something that leaves you begging for more??? Looking for a new fav??? YES. This book is all of what you need and so much more! Go Into This One Knowing. Best. Book. Ever.' Crossroad Reviews 'This was incredible!... such a slow burn romance but the build-up had my heart beating out of my chest, the angst and suspense was killing me... This book was perfectly paced and the lack of info-dumping, love triangles and insta-love made for a perfect start to a new series. Switching from POV's from England and Paris and following the characters as they go from across countries was a great concept. With the addition of magic, action and adventure this book could really do no wrong in my eyes. There isn't a cliffhanger ending just the promise of lots more to come in the next installment which I'm now anxiously awaiting. I highly recommend this to fellow fantasy lovers who are looking for a brand new world to immerse themselves in, with great characters, a promising romance and a thrilling journey ahead.' Literary-ly Obsessed 'I love this book! It was really great! I've always loved books that include Alchemy as its major fantasy core, I just think that it's such a fascinating 'science'! ... I read the first chapter, and I was completely swept into this amazing world! ... can't wait until the second book comes out, and to continue exploring this amazing story!

Download or read book Jane Austen the Secret Radical written by Helena Kelly and published by Icon Books. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A sublime piece of literary detective work that shows us once and for all how to be precisely the sort of reader that Austen deserves.' Caroline Criado-Perez, Guardian Almost everything we think we know about Jane Austen is wrong. Her novels don't confine themselves to grand houses and they were not written just for readers' enjoyment. She writes about serious subjects and her books are deeply subversive. We just don't read her properly - we haven't been reading her properly for 200 years. Jane Austen, The Secret Radical puts that right. In her first, brilliantly original book, Austen expert Helena Kelly introduces the reader to a passionate woman living in an age of revolution; to a writer who used what was regarded as the lightest of literary genres, the novel, to grapple with the weightiest of subjects – feminism, slavery, abuse, the treatment of the poor, the power of the Church, even evolution – at a time, and in a place, when to write about such things directly was seen as akin to treason. Uncovering a radical, spirited and political engaged Austen, Jane Austen, The Secret Radical will encourage you to read Jane, all over again.
