Max Brand
The Firebrand is an adventurous historical romance set in 16th-century Italy. The main character is Tizzo, a master swordsman, known as Firebrand because of his flaming red hair and flame-blue eyes. Frederick Schiller Faust (1892-1944) was an American author known primarily for his thoughtful and literary Westerns under the pen name Max Brand. Prolific in many genres he wrote historical novels, detective mysteries, pulp fiction stories and many more. His love for mythology was a constant source of inspiration for his fiction, and it has been speculated that these classical influences accounted in some part for his success as a popular writer. Many of his stories would later inspire films.
Robert W. Chambers
Charming, beautifully written. Fascinating in detail pre-war Florida (and also the East Coast) high society with its fashions and mores.
Arthur Conan Doyle
John and Ezra Girdlestone, father and son, run a British merchant company trading to the African coast with several sailing ships, all dangerously ill-maintained. Their small office is in London, their business is quite personally run, and the firm and its owners are well respected in the City by the 1870s. John Girdlestone is deeply and ostentatiously religious, to the cynical amazement of his son. The senior Girdlestone also is the tightly-controlling guardian of an heiress not quite of age, Kate Harston. This young lady is a cousin of Tom Dimsdale, college-age son of a physician. The story is filled with a fun, varied cast. Besides John, Ezra, and Kate, theres Captain Miggs, Major Tobias Clutterbuck, and the Dimsdale family. These families and their impingement are at the center of A. Conan Doyles psychological-adventure novel The Firm of Girdlestone.

Tym piekłem rządzi prawdziwie szatańska czwórka ― paru chłopaków, którzy bardziej przypominają bandytów niż licealistów. Ostatnie, czego chciałaby nowa uczennica, to zwrócić na siebie ich uwagę... Oczywiście, los jest przewrotny. Elena staje przypadkiem na drodze szkolnego gangu, a to oznacza tylko jedno: kłopoty. Nawet jeżeli najgroźniejszy z diabelskiej czwórki, Nathan, ma mocne powody, by za wszelką cenę chronić dziewczynę przed swoimi bezwzględnymi kumplami, ona i tak najbardziej boi się właśnie jego. Chociaż musi też sama przed sobą przyznać, że jak na diabła, chłopak jest stanowczo zbyt przystojny i ma za piękne oczy. Oczy, o których można by nawet powiedzieć, że są anielskie, gdyby nie ich stalowe, zimne spojrzenie... Czy diabeł może mieć serce? Posłuchaj audiobooka:
