(Rachel, Heroes & Heartbreakers)Length: Full-length novel of 94,000 wordsSensuality level: A hot Regency romance with steamy love scenes Q&A with the author:How would you describe this series?It's Regency England with a dash of magic. I hope to take readers on a journey from the glittering ballrooms of the aristocracy to the dark underbelly of Regency England - with passion, danger, adventure, romance, and a little magic thrown into the mix.  Why did you write this series?I wanted to get my well-bred heroines out of the drawing rooms and put them in the way of adventure and romance. But I didn’t want to write a series where magic is common; I wanted to write a series where only a few characters have magic, and it’s a deep, dark secret, and no one else knows.How would you describe your writing?Several reviewers have likened my writing to Georgette Heyer, which is the hugest compliment ever. I adore Georgette Heyer! She’s why I write historical romance, and I reread her books over and over. (If you’ve not read The Grand Sophy, please do so!) I’ve also had readers compare my writing to Courtney Milan and Mary Balogh, which are also massive compliments. p ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rosalyn Landor.

    Yes Minister (Die komplette Serie) & Yes, Prime Minister (Staffel 1) DVD-Box
    Minister kommen und gehen, doch Staatssekretäre verweilen mitunter Jahrzehnte auf ihren Posten. Sie sorgen dafür, dass übereifrige Minister nicht zu großen Aufruhr verursachen. Auch James Hacker (Paul Eddington), der Minister für Verwaltungsangelegenheiten wird, muss dies einsehen. Hacker ist ein verantwortungsvoller Demokrat. Als Minister, denkt er, kann er endlich ein paar überfällige Reformen durchsetzen. Doch die Rechnung hat er ohne seinen Staatssekretär Sir Humphrey Appleby (Nigel Hawthorne) gemacht. In der Nachfolge-Serie "Yes Prime Minister" steigt James Hacker zum Premierminister auf und Sir Appleby als treuer, doch skrupelloser Regierungssekretär mit ihm. Während der Premierminister jetzt tatsächlich glaubt, Geschichte schreiben zu können, ist Sir Appleby vor allem darauf bedacht die Macht der Verwaltung und seine eigene zu betonieren.

    Der Herr der Ringe: Die Rückkehr des Königs (BLU-RAY)
    Saurons Mächte haben Minas Tirith, die Hauptstadt von Gondor, belagert, um die Rasse der Menschen auszurotten. Das einst so mächtige Königreich, das von einem schwachen Verwalter bewacht wird, brauchte noch nie so dringend seinen König. Aber ist Aragorn stark genug, sein Erbe anzutreten und das zu werden, zu dem er geboren wurde? Das Schicksal von Mittelerde liegt in seinen Händen... Als die letzte Schlacht naht und sich die Mächte der Finsternis versammeln, versucht Gandalf mit aller Kraft die zerschlagene Armee von Gondor zusammenzutrommeln. Er wird von König Théoden von Rohan unterstützt, der seine Krieger für die größte Schlacht in der Geschichte zusammenführt. Selbst mit ihrem Mut und ihrer herzlichen Loyalität sind die Truppen der Menschen - zusammen mit Eowyn und Merry - den Feinden, die Richtung Gondor ausschwärmen, nicht gewachsen.. Trotzdem sie wissen, dass sie große Verluste erleiden werden, stürmen sie voran in die Schlacht ihres Lebens. Sie sind verbunden im gemeinsamen Ziel, Sauron abzulenken und dem Ringträgers die Chance zu geben, seine Suche zu vollenden. Ihre Hoffnung liegt bei Frodo, ein kleiner, zu allem entschlossener Hobbit, der eine gefährliche Reise durch unsicheres Land des Feindes macht, um den Einen Ring in den Feuern des Schicksalsbergs zu zerstören. Je näher Frodo seinem Ziel kommt, desto schwerer wird seine Last und desto mehr muss er sich auf Sam Gamdschie verlassen. Gollum wird Frodos Ergebenheit und nicht zuletzt seine Menschlichkeit einem Test unterziehen...Darsteller:Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Viggo Mortensen, Ali Astin, Cate Blanchett, David Aston, Joel Tobeck, Noel Appleby, Paul Norell, Sean Astin, Shane Rangi
