Book Description

In March 1844 the French magazine _Le Siecle,_ printed the first installment of a story by Alexandre Dumas. It was based, Dumas claimed, on some manuscripts he had found a year earlier in the Bibliotheque Nationale while researching a history he planned to write on Louis XIV. The serial chronicled the adventures of D'Artagnan -- a young swordsman intent on joining the king's musketeers. Young D'Artagnan becomes embroiled in court intrigues, international politics, and ill-fated affairs between royal lovers. The book at hand is the second volume of the third serial. Louis XIV is well past the age where he should rule, but the ailing Cardinal Mazarin refuses to relinquish the reins of power. Meanwhile, Charles II, a king without a country, travels Europe seeking aid from his fellow monarchs. Athos still resides at La Fère while his son, Raoul de Bragelonne, has entered into the service in the household of M. le Prince. As for Raoul, he has his eyes on an entirely different object than his father -- his childhood companion, Louise de la Valliere, with whom he is hopelessly in love. Porthos, now a baron, is off on some mysterious mission along with Aramis, who is now the Bishop of Vannes. (Volume II of II.)

5 out of 5 stars Questioning the total list of books........2003-11-19

The reviewer from Highland, Indiana has given us a list of books which I am afraid is not entirely accurate. I am currently reading Le Vicomte De Bragelonne in the original French, a book which has three installments. I also have a copy of Louise de la Valliere. The first installment of Le Vicomte De Bragelonne appears from the description to be the same as Ten Years Later. But at the end of the day you can never read too much Dumas!

Book Description

Hester's popular Mayfair Academy has helped teach many the awkward society miss how to find her way to the altar with the eligible bachelor of her choice. But while her students flirt and mingle, Hester possesses as a prim widow--rather than reveal herself as the never-been married beauty she truly is....He made his fortune in America. Now the dashing, scandalously sired Adrian Hawke is in London, determined to fight off the season's most wily debutants. Adrian isn't fooled by Hester's thin disguise--for she possess the soft, womanly curves no somber gown can hide. The question is, why does she dress like a schoolmarm when she could easily make a better match than any of her student? Adrian vows to reveal Hester's most precious secrets. But what he discovers is a woman with a past more complicated than he could ever imagine--and whose beauty is not just skin-deep....

4 out of 5 stars Quieter, more realistic; but warm and beguiling.......2004-05-03

Adrian Hawke is quite delicious, and Hester is a strong, capable heroine. Adrian's faults are those of the typical arrogant male, but he has a good heart. Hester's the one with all the secrets and the more difficult past to conquer. They mesh beautifully together, and one can easily picture them heading back to America.

Secondary characters Dulcie, Horace, and Verna are well-conceived and really add to the story. It's a credit to Becnel that not everything is easily resolved; much more realistic.

4 out of 5 stars A Pleasing Diversion........2004-02-09

Discovering a pleasant book is always fun. Here the reader will have no worries. There is no fighting, no falseness -- just two people learning about each other.

Hester Poitevant's task is to mold unattractive young women -- to reshape them into appealing brides. She is exceptionally good at her calling and is the "season" phenomenon. Hester Poitevant is a very attractive female, but has chosen to hide behind a dreadful facade. This false pretense allows her to remain concealed in life's background.

Adrian Hawke is the "season" allurement. He is an American, very attractive, very wealthy, and very unavailable. Furthermore, his allure stems from his parents' scandalous romance.

I liked both Hester and Adrian. Hester is a confident woman. She set out to run a successful venture and she achieved her goal. She is strong-minded and will not allow any person, male or female, to browbeat her. Adrian is his own man, he refuses to heed to society's strict rules and it is this carefree attitude that produces great reading fun.

If there is one area of concern, the first 100 pages simmered, but the story finally ignited and boiled to the end.

5 out of 5 stars The Bridemaker sashays in style.......2003-01-11

Hester Poitevant is dubbed the no-nonsense "Bridemaker" where she fashions awkward ladies of the ton to be sophisticated prized catch for the season's marriage cart. Employed by the snobbish Lady Ainsley to transform her daughter Dulcie, she steels her prim-and-proper matronly image to hide her ravishing beauty where no one would recognize her past. When Dulcie's choice is the devastating American merchant Adrian Hawke, she is forced to interact with him and finds her defense susceptible to his curious queries and wicked sexual innuendoes. Adrian is secretly mocked in the society for his less than illustrious birth and thinks Hester is another society's snob but later finds her concealing a deep secret and lusting after the prim mistress of Mayfair Academy.

Rexanne Becnel is guilty of portraying her characters with modern sensibilities in this Regency-era romance but it is a guilty pleasure as we indulge ourselves seeing Hester and Adrian in a forbidden tryst. They break the molds of the society while Hester is given a refreshing point of view of her cherished virginity by her astute friend and mentor Verna. The uncompromising characters reveal their dimension through several stunning revelations of secrets such as Hester's birthrights and an elopement.

Hester is enigmatic while Adrian is dark and brooding - and the handsome couple sizzles with palpable chemistry. Ms. Becnel has bestowed upon us entertaining Regency that strives to be passionate as it is elegant through the glittering balls and swooning waltzes. The banters and sharp humour; the trysts at Vauxhall is positively scandalous - yet utterly irresistible as the outrageous duo. All these allude to Ms. Becnel as a Regency maverick - sashaying in style.

4 out of 5 stars warm Regency romance.......2002-11-17

Mothers of young ladies, who did not take during their first season turn to THE BRIDEMAKER, widow Hester Poitvant to perform miracles. Hester always seems to succeed regardless of the physical, emotional, or mental handicap of her client though sometimes the overbearing parent can be cause for alarm.

Her current class includes reticent and overweight Dulcie Bennett, whose mother and brother are obnoxious. Dulcie finds American businessman Adrian Hawke quite attractive, but her family snubs him as being born on the wrong side of the sheets. Hester knows he is using Dulcie to get at her brother and begs Adrian to not hurt her student who she cares for way beyond a fee. Adrian misinterprets Hester's pleading, feeling she thinks he is beneath her. As he tries to uncover the secrets of Hester, Adrian falls in love. However she cannot afford love with anyone as her mother has a reputation that makes Hester beneath Adrian.

THE BRIDEMAKER is a warm Regency romance starring two delightful lead characters who "inherit" baggage way beyond their years. The story line is loaded with joy as Adrian begins to peel the rose. Each time he thinks he has completed his mission, a new petal needs unwrapping including the identity of the late husband who know one recalls meeting. Dulcie is a fine person who proves that nature protects the kindhearted from the nasty though her mother and brother are more caricature snobs than family. Rexanne Becnel makes reading fun with this tale and her other pleasant "Maker" novels.

    Product Description

    From Booklist: From a background that left her on her own and fearful of men, Hester Poitevant has created a career for herself at a time when a woman on her own had few choices. She runs the Mayfair Academy, dedicated to preparing young girls of the ton for their season. So far, every one has made a suitable match, but Hester herself remains an enigma. She hides her beauty behind the serviceable accoutrement of a governess or nanny, and pretends to be a widow. When one of her students becomes enamored with a newcomer to the social scene, Hester finds herself in the uncomfortable position of being attracted to this same man. Adrian Hawke has come to London from America, and at first associates Hester with all that he hates about the English aristocracy, but he soon sees beyond her plain facade and is intrigued enough to seek out her secrets. It is a real treat to see how Hester and Adrian overcome their flaws and insecurities to end up happily together. Maria HattonCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved

Written by Newbery Honor Author Jim Murphy, this is Sarah Jane Price's story.

    5 out of 5 stars A great book.......2007-08-08

    A wonderful story. Sarah Jane Price is only fourteen years old but all alone in the world. Her father recently died and Sarah Jane must now figure out how to survive all on her own. She doesn't want to leave Broken Bow where her father was suppose to be the new teacher. She asks the town to give her a try as a teacher. Overnight Sarah Jane goes from being a student to the teacher. She struggles to assert her self as a teacher to her students and keeping her students in school while the storm of 1888 hits and Sarah Jane must guide her students home in the freezing cold. Its such a huge responsiblty and Sarah Jane handled it very well.

    2 out of 5 stars I Tried . . . I Really Did!.......2006-08-17

    I was about half-way through this book when I finally had to face the fact that I was not at all interested. I was just forcing myself to read because I had to know what happened to Sarah, the orphaned girl without family to turn to; but the writing styel was dry and tasteless. Sarah had no personality, and neither did any of the people in the wind beaten Prarie town where she lived. And Sarah says things that don't make any sense. There is a girl who wants to be her friend, but Sarah says that she talks to much. But she WAS NOT too talkative! All she did was make ordinary conversation! A strange and annoying read.

    4 out of 5 stars Slow Beginning But Nevertheless a Good Read.......2006-06-01

    This is the second Dear America I read, and it was good enough to make me read more. The second time I read it, I saw that the boring beginning wasn't that great, and I skipped straight to her first class. As for her "visions" of her father, they didn't really bother me. The classroom scenes were fresh and portrayed the challenges of teaching on a prairie, and the ending also gripped me. Read, and if necessary skim the first few entries!

    1 out of 5 stars Can you say boring?.......2006-05-15

    I love the Dear America books, but this one was very boring and lifeless. The girl thought she could here her father talking to her. Which was weird, because he was dead. If you are going to read a book in this series, dont make it this one.

    DEAR AMERICA
    My Face to the Wind
    By Jim Murphy
    The diary of Sara Jane Price, a prarie teacher.

    In My Face to the Wind Sara Jane Price who was 14 years old moved to Broken Bow, Nebraska with her father who was a teacher. After a short while her father got the fever and died, Sara moved in with an elderly lady named Miss Kizer who owned an inn. When Sara found out she was to go to a Chriastan orphanage called The Girl's Asylum, and found out they work six days a week in the fields except for Sunday from her friend Ida she wanted to stay in Broken Bow desperately.
    After Sara found out about The Girl's Asylum she decidedto make money by being a tacher in Broken Bow, she thought it was a good idea because she learned how to teach a little from watching her father. As Sara told Ida, her friend, about the idea Ida said to go ask her father who is on the school board and get the school rules pamphlet. When Sara and Ida arrived at Ida's house Ida went to get the pamphlet while Sara explained the idae to Ida's father and Mr. Gaddis who is also on the school board. After a few days Mr. Gaddis and the rest of the school board decided they would let Sara teach until they found a real teacher.

    the setting of the book takes place in Broken Bow, Nebraska during 1881.

    The theme of the story to me is if you work hard and don't give up your ddream can come true.

    This book is a really great and interesting book. If you ever have extra time I suggest you read this book.

    3 out of 5 stars A nice read about the beginning of Starfleet........2005-05-12

    "Broken Bow" is the novelization of the first episode of the television series "Enterprise" and it is a quite enjoyable read. It is approximately 150 years from now. Mankind has made first contact with the Vulcans, and later a few other intelligent races, but Earthmen are still the "new kids on the block" and humans are just beginning to venture out into the stars in a significant way. Starfleet is very new, and mankind's mentors, the Vulcans, disapprove of these upstart humans getting loose outside of our Solar System.

    The novel delves into the politics of the construction of the Enterprise and Starfleet, both of which the Vulcans believe are premature, more than the initial television episode did. I personally find the setting in "Enterprise" to be more interesting and enjoyable than that in either The Original Series or The Next Generation (both of which I very much enjoyed!) simply because it has a wonderful "New Frontier" feeling to it. The new warp technology means that Starfleet has very little knowledge of what lies "out there," the other technology is new and sometimes quirky. The transporter is "safe for biotransport" but no one relishes the idea of riding the darned thing, which I can understand. Most races that Enterprise will encounter are new to mankind, and offer new challenges and opportunities. In this episode, humanity meets up with the Klingons, which is never an easy thing to do!

    The prose in the novel is good, and this is a very decent read for fans of "Star Trek" and the "Enterprise" concept.

    4 out of 5 stars Entertaining.......2004-11-10

    Yes, the accuracy of this book can definitely be questioned. Lets be honest, there are contradictions throughout the Star Trek universe but you have to get over that. The key question is whether or not the contradictions are integral to the story --- they are not. This was an entertaining read and a good start to a new series. Could it have been beter -- yes. The encounter with the Klingons was disappointing. The continued conflict between humans and vulcans was a little annoying. But, still fun to read.

    4 out of 5 stars Excellent adaptation of a fine episode........2004-05-18

    In this book, Diane Carey once again demonstrates what she is capable of when not attempting to show how cute and clever she can be with the language. In many of her earlier works, her writing was almost indecipherable due to a tendancy to try to find new, unusual uses for perfectly good words. More and more, in her recent efforts, she has gotten away from this quirk, and the result has been some truly fine writing; this is one of the best so far. The story itself is not as good as her story in "Day of Honor, Ancient Blood", but that isn't her fault. In this case, she is writing a novelization of an existing episode, and she does a solid, workmanlike job of it. The episode is good, just not as good as the best ideas that Ms. Carey has had on her own. This story is an excellent introduction to the "Enterprise" characters and storyline, and Ms. Carey's treatment of it is very worthwhile reading.

    5 out of 5 stars The adventure begins..........2004-04-14

    A great story about mankind reaching for the stars. After almost a century of being held back by Vulcan guidance Starfleet's first Warp 5 starship commanded by Capt. Johnathan Archer embarks on a mission to return a wounded Klingon named Klangg to his people. Along the way they run into temporal cold war agents-the Suliban and must try and prevent them from killing Klangg (as he carries valuable information back to the Klingon Empire). Archer must also overcome his distrust of Vulcans and his new Vulcan first officer T'pol. This pre-federation chapter of Star Trek is just as enticing as the other Star Trek series'. Even though the technologies featured (Only Warp 5 capable Engine designed by Archer's dad,no tractor beams on Enterprise,no phasers or photon torpedos) are a bit primitive compared to the other series you get to witness the early Starfleet deep space missions. An excellent story nonetheless and well worth reading or watching.

    4 out of 5 stars The Beginning Of Starfleet.......2003-05-11

    This novel by veteran Star Trek writer Diane Carey is based upon the first 'Star Trek: Enterprise' episode, Broken Bow. It lays the foundation for the formation of Starfleet, which of course came before 'The United Federation Of Planets', and includes some events leading up to the aquisition of warp technology (this book is more detailed than the television version) including a bit more about Zephran Cochran, the inventor of warp drive on earth. This is really fascinating stuff. The plot and storyline are good, as is character development, required reading for any serious Star Trek fan. This book also goes into some detail concerning the start of Vulcan-Terran cooperation and mutual trust and respect, very interesting coverage here. This is great science fiction on any standard, well worth reading, written in an easy to read, flowing style.

                    4 out of 5 stars Andrew E. Hill Helps Contemporary Worship Leaders.......2000-06-21

                    Dr. Hill's book presents an overview of expressions of and teaching on worship in the Old Testament. Chapter one gives some practical explanations about Hebrew words translated as the English word worship. Elements of worship addressed in following chapters include: Worship as lifestyle (personal Piety), The development of worship from the patriarchs to the prophets, The holism of the Hebrew understanding of worship as it relates to form, place and time, and the role of the King as worship leader. The tension between God's transcendence and immanence is evident in discussions about Hebrew worship. The role of music and the arts is related to praise, especially in the context of the Psalms and Davidic worship. "Enter His Courts With Praise" also includes numerous helpful charts and illustrations.

                    Dr. Hill identifies a number of parallels between vibrant, God honoring worship of the Old Testament and some of the trends in worship today. Included are trends such as: the corporate nature of worship (as opposed to some of the negative effects of individualism), worship as active rather than passive, an attention to history as well as the bible, and a more holistic understanding of the relationship between God and man.

                    This book is an excellent resource for pastors and worship leaders. An understanding of Old Testament worship remains essential for effective worship leadership in today's church. Readers may be surprised at how relevant Old Testament teaching on worship is to the growing church of a postmodern world.
