The Thomas Family #1. Spętani przeznaczeniem
Zuzanna Dominik
Miała spędzić na ranczu kilka dni. Została o wiele dłużej Toksyczni szefowie mogą naprawdę uprzykrzyć życie ― wtrącają się we wszystko, kwestionują decyzje, stawiają dużo wymagań, za to rzadko udzielają pochwał. Dokładnie tacy są przełożeni Brooklyn, trzydziestodwuletniej specjalistki od nieruchomości. A że szefowie Brooklyn są przy okazji jej rodzicami, więc swoją kontrolę rozciągają także na pozazawodowe życie młodej kobiety. W każdym razie próbują. Wysyłają ją na odludzie, by skłoniła właściciela rancza do jego sprzedaży. W sumie ― dlaczego nie? Brook przyda się kilka dni odpoczynku od wielkomiejskiego zgiełku, a jakiś stary, niedołężny ranczer chyba nie sprawi wielu kłopotów... Tyle że Archer Thomas nie jest niedołężnym staruszkiem. Przeciwnie ― to młody, przystojny mężczyzna. "Kilka dni" trochę się więc przeciągnie, tym bardziej że Brook poczuje się w Barrington Hills dziwnie dobrze ― po raz pierwszy z dala od presji wywieranej przez rodziców, od pędu i stresu związanego z pracą w dużej firmie. Jest tylko jeden problem: atrakcyjny pan Thomas nie zna prawdziwych przyczyn, dla których kobieta pojawiła się na jego ranczu. A jest na świecie jedna rzecz, której Archer nie wybacza. Kłamstwa...

If you enjoy the works of Ethel M. Dell then we highly recommend this publication for your book collection. Ethel Dell began to write stories while very young and many of them were published in popular magazines.

The Tidal Wave and Other Stories collection includes the following short stories: The Tidal Wave, The Magic Circle, The Looker-On, The Second Fiddle, The Woman of His Dreams, The Return Game. The Tidal Wave is a very sweet love story with excitement and twists and turns, full of surprises and poignant moments.

This is another Ethel Dell novel. Sylvia Ingleton is left motherless at an early age. Her father remarried a woman who is not happy to share her household with Sylvia. Soon, Sylvia is entangled in webs of deceit to get her married off. Boldly, she announces to her father and would be suitor that she will rejoin her fiancé of five years in South Africa. The backdrop of South Africas wilderness, drought, cloud bursts and love triangles leaves Sylvia in a struggle to survive. In this thrilling adventure, she finds her way like a lost child to her Top of the World. It is an astonishingly melodramatic novel, with a plot that moves with such gusto from one strong emotional situation to another that you only occasionally pause to consider how very exaggerated and improbable it is.

This is a late set of long stories that are read at the pace of a narrator who is in no hurry. Similarly, Locke does not tell his story to the great storyteller, an English artist named Charles Fontenay, who lives for health in the south of France in Cannes, often tells his usual storyteller, whose stories he reports, Monsieur Alcide Tombarelle, mayor of Creel Mountain City, to speed up or stop being distracted.
