Book Description
Roland Deschain and his ka-tet are bearing southeast through the forests of Mid-World, the almost timeless landscape that seems to stretch from the wreckage of civility that defined Roland's youth to the crimson chaos that seems the future's only promise. Followers of Stephen King's epic series know Roland well, or as well as this enigmatic hero can be known. They also know the companions who have been drawn to his quest for the Dark Tower: Eddie Dean and his wife, Susannah; Jake Chambers, the boy who has come twice through the doorway of death into Roland's world; and Oy, the Billy Bumbler.
In this long-awaited fifth novel in the saga, their path takes them to the outskirts of Calla Bryn Sturgis, a tranquil valley community of farmers and ranchers on Mid-World's borderlands. Beyond the town the rocky ground rises towards the hulking darkness of Thunderclap, the source of a terrible affliction that is slowly stealing the community's soul. One of the town's residents is Pere Callahan, a ruined priest who, like Susannah, Eddie and Jake, passed through one of the portals that lead both into and out of Roland's world.
As Father Callahan tells the ka-tet the astonishing story of what happened following his shamed departure from Maine in 1977, his connection to the Dark Tower becomes clear, as does the danger facing a single red rose in a vacant lot off Second Avenue in midtown Manhattan. For Calla Bryn Sturgis, danger gathers in the east like a storm cloud. The Wolves of Thunderclap and their unspeakable depredation are coming. To resist them is to risk all, but these are odds the gunslingers are used to, and they can give the Calla folken both courage and cunning. Their guns, however, will not be enough.

I Thee Wed
Amanda Quick Manufacturer: Bantam ProductGroup: Book Binding: Mass Market Paperback Similar Items: ASIN: 0553574108 Release Date: 2000-02-01 |

Amanda Quick proves once again that opposites most definitely do attract in her new Regency romance, I Thee Wed. Sharp-witted lady's companion Emma Greyson has as much trouble holding a job as she does holding her tongue. But lack of references can't deter Emma; she just writes her own and finagles a new position. Her present employment brings Emma to a tedious house party in the country where she spends most of her time trying to dodge the lecherous groping of the gentlemen guests. In fact, to avoid just such an encounter Emma is forced to hide in a wardrobe. The only problem is that the space is already occupied--by mysterious financier Edison Stokes, no less! Stokes is on a quest to locate a volume of arcane potions that could prove deadly if it falls into the wrong hands, and he believes the text is in the possession of one of the partygoers. Emma soon finds herself the focus of another kind of attention, equally undesirable, when her highly developed intuition makes her susceptible to the powerful potions of the black arts. To protect her, Stokes hires Emma to be his assistant, but quickly realizes that keeping Emma out of danger is a full-time job. The only solution is to keep her close to him--very close to him. And neither Stokes nor Emma minds that at all! Bestselling author Amanda Quick keeps readers begging for more in this highly entertaining historical. --Alison TrinkleBook Description
It isn't easy making a living as a lady's companion when one possesses a sharp tongue and an original mind. That's why Emma Greyson has gone through three such positions in six months. Her current post at a tiresome country house party has her bored to tears--until an extraordinary encounter with the legendary Edison Stokes leads to a secret position as his assistant.Customer Reviews:
Regency Wit.......2005-06-07
I Thee Wed.......2004-12-30
I was happily surprised!.......2004-10-07
Relatively fun read.......2004-07-06
Enter the iconoclastic and fabulously wealthy Edison Stokes, who is on the hunt for a psychic potion and missing book from a secret mystical society he used to belong to. Turns out one villain has big plans for Emma, plans that make her a valuable assistant for Edison.
Edison therefore secretly hires Emma, and the pleasing, often funny, banter between Emma and Edison begins. A shocking development soon pushes their relationship deeper than either had intended. I Thee Wed is at its best when it focuses on their developing rapport. Author Amanda Quick is very good at creating entertaining dialogue.
I Thee Wed has well-drawn characters, humor, an engaging plot, and a believable love story (though I would have liked for it to have been more passionate), which makes for a pretty good read.
The only thing that took away from my enjoyment was the secret society storyline. It was not developed in a believable way so often took me out of the story. Vanza came across as a childish and simplistic society, when I'm sure Quick intended for it to have more substance behind it. As it was, I couldn't imagine why our hero had ever been a member of it. Furthermore, he certainly didn't act like anyone who had ever been a member of a mystical society-he did not have a spiritual bone in his body or spiritual insight in his mind.
This lack of credibility in the suspense portion did mar my enjoyment. I hope that Quick develops this portion of her stories more fully in the future.
A good one of Ms.Quick's.......2003-08-12

Customer Reviews:
This book is a gem........2006-07-01
Good start..........2004-10-26
Good information, but poor organization makes it hard to use.......2003-02-28
The suggestions in this book are good, as there are many beautiful and uniquely worded statements. However, the chapters themselves offer absolutely no organization, making it hard to determine exactly how the words should be used. For example, it is sometimes unclear where one segment ends and the next begins--ie, whether certain sections are designed to be used together or separately. Furthermore, there are no guidelines as to whether the couple should repeat the vows after the officiant, repeat them together, say them in exchange, etc. A final criticism is that the last two sections of the book--a personalized record of your wedding and an index of first lines--are virtual useless, as couples are unlikely to use this book as a keepsake and the index would only be helpful if you already knew the words you wanted.
One final note: if you are looking for a book to help you write you entire wedding ceremony from start to finish, this book is definitely not for you. It addresses vows only and does not contain suggestions for other ceremony elements such as the readings and the ring exchange. However, if you simply want some ideas of how to write your vows and/or are considering writing your own, you may find this book to be helpful.
The ORIGINAL and STILL THE BEST!.......2002-11-26
And now, to top that I just read in Woman's Day magazine that the author just came out with a new book titled "Loving Vows: Inspiring Promises for Building and Renewing Your Marraige" that helps couples KEEP their wedding promises...Guess I have the perfect wedding present now too :-)

This one knocks your socks off.......1999-11-30
Emotionally Invigorating!.......1999-06-30
A pair of humorous romances.......1999-05-31
Over the years, the changing staff always paid homage to the first issue of "Real Men" magazine, considered a collector's item. Now five decades later, reporter Tara Butler is assigned to update the classic article Forty-Nine Things You Need to Know about a Real Man from that first edition. To help her, writer Chase Montgomery teams up with Tara. As the couple begin to work closely together on "50 Clues to Mr. Right", they fall in love. However, Tara seeks a real man based on her list of traits. She initially believed Chase lacks these qualities, but now wonders if her list needs revising. Alyssa Dean completes her pairing with a wonderfully droll tale that provides insight into romance during the baby boom era.
Both stories are light, but enjoyable romps. This collection adds to the fans' appreciation of the Duets concept of providing double the please for a single cost.
