DESCRIPCIÓN Y/O SINOPSIS DE ESTE EBOOK
Catherine has been enjoying the single life for long enough to know a good catch when she sees one. Gorgeous, charismatic, spontaneous – Lee seems almost too perfect to be true. And her friends clearly agree, as each in turn falls under his spell. But there is a darker side to Lee.
His erratic, controlling and sometimes frightening behaviour means that Catherine is increasingly isolated. Driven into the darkest corner of her world, and trusting no one, she plans a meticulous escape.
Four years later, struggling to overcome her demons, Catherine dares to believe she might be safe from harm. Until one phone call changes everything. This is an edgy and powerful first novel, utterly convincing in its portrayal of obsession, and a tour de force of suspense.

¡Muy recomendable!
Me ha sorprendido positivamente esta autora. El libro está escrito de forma que lo pasas mal junto a la protagonista, te pones nerviosa en algunos momentos e incluso se llega a pasar miedo al pensar que algo así nos puede pasar a cualquiera. Sin duda, le voy a seguir la pista a Elizabeth Haynes! Te recomiendo este libro si buscas uno de esos que no quieres dejar de leer para irte a dormir.
Fascinating suspense
In The Darkest Corner is a layered suspense novel that will scare you to death. What’s so frightening about Darkest Corner is that it can and does happen to people every day. Who wouldn’t be attractive to a drop-dead gorgeous man who’s absolutely obsessed with you? Who isn’t looking for the perfect mate, who cares where you are all the time? Who cares what you wear to the point of distraction? Who makes all your friends green with envy?
And what happens when that obsession turns frightening instead of flattering? Haynes has written an amazing debut novel that will keep her readers up far into the night as they try not to see similar behavior to Lee Brightman in their own mates. A character worthy of the plucky heroine, Cathy Bailey, Lee is the perfect date when she first meets him. Physically perfect right down to his clear blue eyes and golden blonde hair, Lee makes Cathy the envy of all of her friends. The relationship starts out perfect. Lee is the kind of man Cathy’s been looking for all her life, until little things start to happen. Maybe the sex was a little rough one time, or maybe Lee is a little tiring about the red silk dress he’s first seen Cathy in, insisting she wear it would be inappropriate to do so.
With the line between falling in love and obsession so thin, Cathy doubts herself when she starts to think that Lee might not be so perfect after all. When she tries to tell her friends, they brush her off, doubtless because they wish they had a man was perfect of their own.
While there are many books that follow the same sort of plotting, what sets Darkest Corner apart is Cathy’s Obsessive Compulsion Disorder (OCD). Funny when you think about it, she comes down with a disorder that causes her to check the locks on her house to the point of ruining her life, when it’s Lee’s obsessive behavior that causes the disorder in the first place. Maybe OCD should be labeled Obsessive Compulsive Behavior Caused By Some Jerk With Serious Mental Issues, but that might be too many initials. Getting rid of the idea that someone a person just comes down with crazy coping mechanisms.
OCD is mapped out carefully in Darkest Corner, and shows how it can be overcome, something that sets this book above the usual run-of-the-mill girl being stalked by crazy boyfriend. Also, the time line goes back and forth between before Cathy’s near murder by Lee, and her coping with her OCD afterwards. Great plot device.
I really liked this book because unlike other books where a woman is abused and then rescued, Darkest Corner shows the heroine going into the deepest corners of her own shadow side and finding the strength to make it back out to the light. How Cathy was chosen by Lee probably because her parents were dead, leaving her with only her girlfriends for backup, and that didn’t turn out well.
Great book to have on a plane, or to give to the girlfriends knowing how much it will spook them. And who doesn’t like to be the first to discover a new author?
Muy intertesante
Esta autora sabe reflejar las emociones de una forma única. Por ello su novela se para siempre en los detalles. Para los amantes no de la acción, sino del por qué de nuestras acciones, esta obra es muy recomendable.

Gripping!
This is a book one should start with plenty of time to finish it in one sitting. Gripping is the word which comes to mind. James’ background as a screenwriter and producer are evident in his ability to create strong characters and relationships, his ear for dialogue, and the pacing of the story. James’ previous books look to be more in the horror or psychological suspense category, where this is a solid police procedural. My one slight criticism is the authors years in Los Angeles show as I kept having to remind myself the book is set in England; the style is more American than British. But the good news is this is the first in a series. The second book, «Looking Good Dead,» is due out soon and is on my «must buy» list.
Great read
A real cliff hanger. Not the usual book I go for. I have never read any of Peter James books before but can’t wait to read his next one!!
You will need a seatbelt!!
There are so many unexpected twists and turns you need a seatbelt!!! My jaw doesnt often drop when reading a book, but this one has done it. Ive read about three book from this author and always have my radar out for more, so when i saw this one i grabbed it!! Dont miss this book…..You will defintly be looking for more books by this author also. this is one of the books where you want the character to hear you yelling Do It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DESCRIPCIÓN Y/O SINOPSIS DE ESTE EBOOK
Don Juan Tenorio: Drama religioso-fantástico en dos partes (Don Juan Tenorio: Religious-Fantasy Drama in Two Parts), is a play written in 1844 by José Zorrilla. It is the more romantic of the two principal Spanish-language literary interpretations of the myth of Don Juan. The other is the 1630 El burlador de Sevilla y convidado de piedra (The Trickster of Seville and the Guest of Stone), which is attributed to Tirso de Molina. Don Juan Tenorio owes a great deal to this earlier version, as recognized by Zorrilla himself in 1880 in his Recuerdos del tiempo viejo (Memories of the Old Times), although the author curiously confuses de Molina with another writer of the same era, Agustín Moreto.

The definitive elaboration on an ancient legend
This is the most famous depiction of the ancient legend of Don Juan, the unrepentant and bold sinner from Spain. A masterwork of Romanticism, «Don Juan» tells the story of Juan Tenorio, a worldly man whose only interest in life is to seduce as many women as he can. He makes a bet with his friend Luis Mejía, to see who is more fortunate with women. Don Juan wins, but his father writes him off from his testament. After that, Don Juan rapes Luis’ fiancée. All this gives him, of course, a bad reputation, so the father of his beloved Ines forbids him to marry her. Events unfold then at a rapid pace, amidst duels, murders, illegitimate seductions and tragedy, including the apparition of ghosts. But more than just a cloak-and-dagger play, this work is a fascinating elaboration on the central myths of sin and repentance; of trespassing and divine forgiving; of the redeeming possibilities of true love, as distinguished from the sins of the flesh which lead to hell. In the Spanish world, it is the play that is staged every year, by the beginning of November when Day of the Dead is celebrated. It is a sum-up of the Romantic myth and, as all classical works, it admits different interpretations, from the literal to the philosophical. And it’s a lot of fun too.
The Ultimate Player
Don Juan Tenorio is the ultimate player. He is to players what William Shakespear is to poets. This is a fascinating story which talk about Don Juan, a young man that is out to seduce as many women as he can. Not only that, but he is probably the most succesful player ever known to man! find out what happens to him in this classic story full to the brim of adventure and excitement.
Don Juan Tenorio
This book tells of the fascinating story of Don Juan Tenorio, the ultimate player. Don Juan is to players what William Shakespear is to poets. This story is told with a masterful wit, and has an incredibly exciting plot. This book, like so many others, is one of those that many people know, but few have read. This book is well worth the money spent on it.

“A masterpiece of American fiction”
Sam Tanenhaus, The New York Times Book Review
A novel from the author of The Corrections.
This is the updated version of the text.
This is the story of the Berglunds, their son Joey, their daughter Jessica and their friend Richard Katz. It is about how we use and abuse our freedom; about the beginning and ending of love; teenage lust; the unexpectedness of adult life; why we compete with our friends; how we betray those closest to us; and why things almost never work out as they ‘should’. It is a story about the human heart, and what it leads us to do to ourselves and each other.
In his first novel since The Corrections, Jonathan Franzen has given us an epic of contemporary love and marriage. In charting the mistakes and joys of Freedom’s intensely realized characters, as they struggle to learn how to live in an ever more confusing world, Franzen has produced an indelible and deeply moving portrait of our time.

Una novela disfrutable, pero mediocre
En cuanto a la novela, decir que me interese por ella dado que me la habían recomendado en diversas ocasiones y por todo el bombo que se le ha dado ultimamente. Nacida a mi parecer con vocación de Best-seller, no deja de ser una novela disfrutable y entretenida, pero no espereis que este sea uno de esos libros que te marcan para toda la vida, o una nueva obra maestra de la literatura.
En cuanto al producto, que creo que es lo importante en estas opiniones, una edición muy correcta, típica edición inglesa en «paperback», esto es, con unas solapas de carton muy finito, más aún que las ediciones de bolsillo españolas. El papel muy fino y de no demasiada calidad y el tipo de letra más bien pequeño. Practicamente un libro de leer y tirar, aunque me parece que por su precio (5€ en el momento en que lo adquirí), uno no puede pedir maravillas. En caso de que sea un libro que se haya disfrutado o por el que uno tenga especial cariño, es mejor adquirir alguna otra edición.
Me ha encantado
El libro te mete de lleno en las historias de sus personajes, lo pasas bien y mal con ellos y te enfadas incluso. Me dio mucha pena que se terminara.
De lo mejor
Si os gustan las novelas en las que la psicología de los personajes está por encima incluso de la trama, tenéis que leerla.

DESCRIPCIÓN Y/O SINOPSIS DE ESTE EBOOK
In the fourth sexy romance by the New York Times bestselling author of Tangled and Twisted, Drew and Kate can’t wait to tie the knot—if they can survive the pre-wedding festivities.
For most of my life, I never imagined I’d get married. But Kate did the impossible: she changed me. I think we can all agree I was pretty frigging awesome before, but now I’m even better.
The road to this day wasn’t all rainbows and boners. There were mistakes and misunderstandings worthy of a Greek tragedy. But Kate and I made it through with our inexhaustible lust, boundless admiration, and everlasting love for one another intact.
That being said, there were some unexpected incidents in Vegas last weekend that could have been a problem. It was kind of…my final test.
I know what you’re thinking—what the hell did you do this time? Relax. Let’s not judge, or call for my castration, until you’ve heard the whole story.
And hold on tight, because you’re in for a wild ride. Did you expect anything less?

I laughed, giggled, snorted, and chortled my way through this comedic masterpiece!
What could be better than an entire book done from Drews’ POV? Drunken Drew in Vegas POV! Oh, God, how I missed this lovable jerk. Gut busting, tear welling laughter. It’s a blindsided comedic punch kind of humor. Love, love, LOVE it.
Drew, Kate, and all of their friends head to Vegas for a weekend of fun before the wedding. Do I really need to say anything else? I mean really? Everybody is there for the festivities. But it’s when Drew decides to impart some knowledge on the dating disaster that is Kate’s ex that the real fun begins. The guys and gals split up for the night for the pre marital tradition of bachelor and bachelorette parties. Can drew handle it? Will Kate trust him to make it out unscathed?
I am giving nothing away guys. Go in blind; feel the thrill of the ride for yourself. Get caught up in the inner dialogue of a man that’s brilliantly clueless and has a wealth of man-whore knowledge to share with the masses.
I laughed, giggled, snorted, and chortled my way through this comedic masterpiece!
Romantic comedy doesn’t get any better than this!
What do they say about laughter? Laughter is the best medicine. Laughter is good for the soul. If you are looking to lift your spirits or reduce stress in your life, laughter is a sure thing. I just finished the concluding novel of the Tangled series, Tied, and laughed out loud the entire time I was reading! Emma Chase is incredibly talented at writing romantic comedy. If you are looking for a fantastic series in the romantic comedy genre, I highly recommend you begin with her first novel titled Tangled!
Drew and Kate are finally ready to take the plunge in Tied – to dive headfirst into marriage! Our couple is already living together and raising James, their two year-old son. One week prior to their wedding, the entire gang is heading to Las Vegas for one last hurrah! Drew is joined by Matthew, Steven, Jack O’Shay and Billy Warren. Kate is joined by Delores, Alexandra, and Drew’s secretary, Erin Burrows. The group is traveling together and staying in the same suite, with Vegas-style bachelor and bachelorette parties on the agenda. Now, I know what you are thinking. If you have read any of this series, you can only imagine the high jinx and misunderstandings which are bound to happen in Vegas. And guess what? Tied is infinitely better than anything your mind can conjure up!
Emma Chase has writing the interaction between Drew and Kate down to a science. Drew is as confident as they come. He tells it like it is. In his own opinion, he does no wrong. But Drew has had a hard time adjusting to the differences between men and women. Women don’t think like men, and until Kate, he never worried about that. Drew has learned some hard lessons since Kate disrupted his life, but he is learning. Fatherhood has been good for him. I think readers will find that his character has developed nicely over the course of this series.
Now, I absolutely love Emma Chase’s writing style. When reading her novels, it feels like her characters are speaking directly to you, telling you their colorful story. With Tied being told from Drew’s perspective, it is absolutely hysterical! Imagine Drew giving rock star Billy Warren advice on how to pick up women. Envision what Drew has to say about men, team sports and competitiveness. And can you picture Drew desperately trying to stay out of trouble in a Vegas strip club? Folks, this is funny stuff. Romantic comedy doesn’t get any better than this! Another 5-star novel from author Emma Chase!
A perfectly hilarious conclusion
Tied is the final installment in the laugh-out-loud hilarious romance series by Emma Chase. This series is as wrought with humor as it is with drama, following Drew Evans and Kate Brooks as they navigate their way through an explosively hot office romance, an unexpected pregnancy and now, in Tied, their impending nuptials. Drew and Kate have dealt with their fair share of drama threatening their relationship, and it finally seems like smooth sailing from here on out. But with their wedding mere weeks away, and a double bachelor/bachelorette weekend in Vegas looming, what could possibly go wrong? Famous last words.
Drew’s point of view is what, literally, drew all of us into this series in the first place. There is not a single book in existence that comes close to touching the perfection that is Drew Evans’ sarcasm and humor and sexually charged inner monologue in Tangled. His voice in that book made this story line completely unforgettable and incomparable. It’s that same voice that makes Tied so completely consuming. In Tied, Drew is still Drew. He’s still the consummate professional, the same businessman we were drawn to previously. He still prefers blowjobs and breasts to food and sleep. But now he’s a dad and a fiancee… so we’re introduced to a side of the man we’ve not seen before.
Despite the antics, humor and hilarity that drive this story, Emma Chase reaffirms to the reader what brought Drew and Kate to this present moment in the first place. All jokes aside, the gravity and the raw emotion of the love that has evolved between these two characters is more prominent than ever in Tied. Between Drew’s flashbacks of watching the woman he loves become a mother; his reminiscing of how their dynamic has changed from co-workers to lovers to parents to bride and groom to-be, through all of it we’re reminded of where this story began, how far they’ve come and where they’ll go from here. There’s no shortage of laugh-your-ass-off, piss-your-pants moments in Tied, but despite the strippers, the copious amounts of alcohol, the fistfights and vulgar language, Tied is the most beautifully emotional representation of Drew and Kate’s love story of the series.
Tied is basically the last hurrah before the Evans-Brooks wedding. The happy couple and their group of friends and family head to Vegas and embark on a weekend of debauchery sans children. The weekend is wrought with humorous trips down memory lane, Drew and Kate both learning hilarious and embarrassing stories about their significant other courtesy of their friends.
But, Tied is so much more than a raunchy weekend in Vegas. It’s very much an ode to all that has made this series what it is. It’s a beautiful reminder of where it all began, the epic romance that bloomed in Tangled and has been a non-stop roller coaster ride ever since. But it’s also about these friendships, these diverse personalities that have all complimented this story, have all brought something pivotal to the plot over the course of this series. It’s about family, those important people that set the bar high for what love and respect and trust should be, for both Drew and Kate. And it’s about self-discovery, the journey toward figuring out exactly the man Drew has come to be, both for himself, the woman he loves and the little boy they’ve brought into the world. All of this, juxtaposed with comedy and humor the likes of which we’ve never seen before make for the perfect, unforgettable, unputdownable conclusion that is Emma Chase’s Tied.

In an eighteen-year playing career for Cobh Ramblers, Nottingham Forest (under Brian Clough), Manchester United (under Sir Alex Ferguson) and Celtic, Roy Keane dominated every midfield he led to glory. Aggressive and highly competitive, his attitude helped him to excel as captain of Manchester United from 1997 until his departure in 2005. Playing at an international level for nearly all his career, he represented the Republic of Ireland for over fourteen years, mainly as team captain, until an incident with national coach Mick McCarthy resulted in Keane’s walk-out from the 2002 World Cup. Since retiring as a player, Keane has managed Sunderland and Ipswich and has become a highly respected television pundit.
As part of a tiny elite of football players, Roy Keane has had a life like no other. His status as one of football’s greatest stars is undisputed, but what of the challenges beyond the pitch? How did he succeed in coming to terms with life as a former Manchester United and Ireland leader and champion, reinventing himself as a manager and then a broadcaster, and cope with the psychological struggles this entailed?
In a stunning collaboration with Booker Prize-winning author Roddy Doyle, THE SECOND HALF blends anecdote and reflection in Roy Keane’s inimitable voice. The result is an unforgettable personal odyssey which fearlessly challenges the meaning of success.

Before The Hunger Games there was Lord of the Flies.
Lord of the Flies remains as provocative today as when it was first published in 1954, igniting passionate debate with its startling, brutal portrait of human nature. Though critically acclaimed, it was largely ignored upon its initial publication. Yet soon it became a cult favorite among both students and literary critics who compared it to J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye in its influence on modern thought and literature.
Labeled a parable, an allegory, a myth, a morality tale, a parody, a political treatise, even a vision of the apocalypse, Lord of the Flies has established itself as a true classic.

En los tiempos que corren «Lord of The Flies» está más vigente que nunca. Es un deleite para el lector ver como Golding explora la naturaleza humana, estemos o no de acuerdo con su visión pesimista. Su estudio en las aulas podría ser una medicina literaria de gran valor para concienciar a los estudiantes en temas como el acoso escolar o los comportamientos irracionales de las actuaciones en grupo.
Good
Nice deal, good product and nice price. Nice cover, everything fine with it and arrived on time without any problem.
Un must
This is a book one has to read once in his/her life. It is really an interesting book and maybe the fact that it was written so long ago, makes it even more interesting as a reading.
I first read it at school, and it surprised me a lot. Now, I know that it is straight, real, and reveals really how human beings are….
