Frankie thought it was a wonderful excuse not to wed her best friend, Bertie Yarwood (she was in love with, and wished to marry, his brother Evelyn)--she claimed she was to wed Lord Greville Wainwright.
When Lord Greville goes down with his ship, Frankie goes into mourning for him-still secure in the knowledge that she won't have to marry Bertie. Until Lord Greville returns from the dead.
Greville and Frankie have a wonderful dynamic, and Bertie, his brother, and Frankie's relatives are all wonderful too.

It was a challenge that Miss Penelope Yarwood, Euphemia Perkins, and Letitia Helmsdale all smugly informed her that the Marquess of Cleveden was at once the most-eligible and the most elusive catch in the London marriage mart. Society's most dazzling beauties had failed to win him, and a newcomer like Fiona had not a ghost of a chace to make him look at her twice. That was all that fiery-tempered Fiona had to hear, and she bet-far more wealth than she possessed- that she would snare the maddening marquess before the seasons end. Now Fiona faced the risk of losing a wager she could not pay-and the even greater danger of losing her heart... This is really a good book. A Real page turner.

All of the Chesney books that I've read have been great. They are funny and actually quite informative about England's regency period. This was no exception.

This was a completely personal and revealing work. If you are a fan of Anderson's voice this book will soon become one of your favourites. I couldn't put it down (I know that statement is cliche-ed but it's the truth). Anderson had an incredible struggle establishing a career as an African American opera singer, but throughout her life she treated everyone she encoountered (despite the cruelty and racism of many) with dignity and grace. Her autobiography is indicative of her supreme modesty and love of music and the human voice as the most divine instrument. If you buy it, you will be enchanted. I particularily recommend it for people studying voice.

This book offers engaging pictures of common everyday objects along with the words for each object. They are arrainged in groups by topics such as animals, professional jobs, vehicles etcetera. This fun format encourages kids to search for their favorite items so they can learn how to spell them.

"Never Too Late" is an inspiring story of a woman's struggle to know the 'ultimate' power (physical healing) of Jesus Christ. While we cannot fathom the power of God or understand why certain situations occur, God has a way of taking us through some valleys so that we may focus on Him and not our illness.

This book looks into the wonderful Tarot Garden which was made in 20 years by Niki de Saint Phalle. It has many pictures and opens the mind for great, colorful, living art.

This book was a supurb review of the things I've learned in the Licensed Practical Nursing program here in New York. The book summed up alot of information, pertaining to subject matters, other than nursing.

This is actually a counting book, and certainly suitable well below the 4 to 8 year old classification given it. Wombat starts out at 10, with his 9 Tasmanian (Australia) mammal friends, and counts down through the activities of his day with animals dropping out until just one weary wombat is left. The story and characters are really enchanting, and would catch the eye of even a 1 year old, while the details to the story - lots of activity within each picture to study, pictures hidden within pictures, references to classic childrens' stories - can captivate older children and even adults. This book has been a smash hit in our household.

Published in 1992, this book is volume V of "The Only Way To Learn Astrology" series. However, the title is a bit of a misnomer in this case because the techniques in this book are definitely not the only way to learn about relationships, so the material is a bit dated. Nonetheless, the two authors McEvers and March (who is now deceased) are very lucid and insightful, so their books are a pleasure to read, and their astrology series is good for beginners. In this book you will be introduced to relationship analysis through the techniques of synastry and composite charts. However, the presentation of this subject is quite different here than in any other text that I've read.

The book begins by examining the individual chart and the individual's needs in a partnership. Hence, the text starts by discussing 1st house and 7th house needs through the twelve signs. The problem is that the actual analysis of these houses are revealed through examples rather than through clearly stated and in depth evaluations of the houses and the planets that are found therein. If you enjoy learning by example, then this approach will be great for you. In fact, the McEvers and March astrology series are fantastic resources for birth information on famous people (which was contributed by Lois Rodden, the owner of the largest data base on accurate famous births), so not only will you learn by example but you'll get accurate birth information for such people as Sophia Loren, Carlo Ponti, the 60's group The Doors, Princess Caroline, Princess Diana, et al. But at times I found myself wishing for more explanation and fewer examples; i.e. more depth. The overviews of the houses and themes connected with partnership were always very brief explanations followed by analysis of actual cases. Some of the examples were helpful, while other examples gave birth to more questions. In terms of presenting how chart analysis is done, this book is really great. However, if you need a step by step in depth explanation on how to do analysis, then you may feel only moderately satisfied with these authors' approach. All in all, I really like this book because it covers a lot of ground, and it's nice to explore astrology by example. I can't think of any other book that presents relationships in the way these authors do, so I would recommend this book as an innovative and frequently insightful approach worthy of adding to your collection, but I would not recommend this book as the only book for you to own on the topic of relationship analysis. I give this book five stars because it contains quite a bit of useful celebrity data, which is complete and accurate.
