A Viking in New York (eBook, ePUB)
A steamy time travel romance novella. After a series of dating disasters, Karina Martinez swears off dating younger guys. Her new philosophy is put to the ultimate test, however, when she buys a Viking amulet from a thrift store and accidentally summons fierce warrior Eirik Bjørnson, and his dog Ulf, from the year 973 to modern-day Manhattan. Surely an age gap of more than a thousand years would doom any romance? And yet, behind his hulking form and piercing, blue-eyed stare, Karina senses a tenderness she has never known from the modern men she's shared a bed with. Is it possible that Eirik was sent to her for a reason? Or is that just what she wants to believe? Eirik Bjørnson doesn't know exactly how this beguiling sorceress, Karina has summoned him to her strange kingdom full of magic boxes that talk and metal chariots that need no beast to pull them. All he knows for certain is that when he first looked into her deep brown eyes, he sensed he was in the presence of his true shield maiden. Despite the woman's protests that their relationship is unworkable, Eirik cannot be swayed from his belief that she belongs to him. Especially as his dog, Ulf usually befriends no female and yet is both protective and doting of her. Regardless of what barriers she constructs, he vows she will be his for the keeping. When Karina's friend Oliver who works at the Manhattan Museum of Natural History learns of Eirik's true heritage however, he kidnaps the Norse time-traveler in a bid to expose him to the media and go down in the history books. Can Karina save Eirik from becoming a real-life exhibit? Even if she does, how can the love she feels for him last when he belongs in another time?- Shop: buecher

England in the 17th Century: The History of England from King James I to the Glorious Revolution , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 173min
Seventeenth-century Europe, particularly its latter years, is often hailed as the beginning of the Enlightenment as nations across the continent experienced a surge in innovation and scientific progress, a period also commonly referred to as the Age of Reason. However, time and time again, grossly incompetent and seemingly diabolic rulers had come to power through the rigged regal system. For starters, there was John, king of England, the real-life inspiration of the evil and infantile lion in the beloved Disney animation Robin Hood. King John was said to have been power-hungry but politically feckless and a sadistic soul who delighted in cruel and inhumane torture. The king did away with nearly everyone who had slighted him, including his own nephew, his political rival. This was a man whose reputation was so horrid, chroniclers and academics have summed him up as an “absolute rotter”. King James I would continue to reign, and England has more often been faced with the claims of competing kings and queens than with a period of no monarch at all. The major exception to that rule came in the 11 years between 1649 and 1660, when England was a republic. Following the disastrous reign of Charles I and the civil wars that led to his execution, parliament and the army ruled England. England’s republican experiment started out as a work of collaboration and compromise; lords, army officers, and members of parliament (MPs) worked together to find a political settlement that did not include the despised royal House of Stuart. Nonetheless, religious and political division made collective rule unworkable, and ultimately, one man emerged from the chaos to rule the country. He had risen from a humble background to become the leading general of the Civil Wars, and as a man of staunch beliefs and ruthless pragmatism, he controlled England from 1653-1658 under the title of lord protector. In essence, he was a king in all but name. Cromwell’s death ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim D Johnston. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/133868/bk_acx0_133868_sample.mp3.
