A few days, just the two of them, in her tiny convertible and intimate hotel rooms...It would be fun, it would be passionate, it would be an experience. At least, that was her plan. He just didn't know it yet.

    And certainly what Melville did for whaling Austen does for marriage--tracing the intricacies (not to mention the economics) of 19th-century British mating rituals with a sure hand and an unblinking eye. As usual, Austen trains her sights on a country village and a few families--in this case, the Bennets, the Philips, and the Lucases. Into their midst comes Mr. Bingley, a single man of good fortune, and his friend, Mr. Darcy, who is even richer. Mrs. Bennet, who married above her station, sees their arrival as an opportunity to marry off at least one of her five daughters. Bingley is complaisant and easily charmed by the eldest Bennet girl, Jane; Darcy, however, is harder to please. Put off by Mrs. Bennet's vulgarity and the untoward behavior of the three younger daughters, he is unable to see the true worth of the older girls, Jane and Elizabeth. His excessive pride offends Lizzy, who is more than willing to believe the worst that other people have to say of him; when George Wickham, a soldier stationed in the village, does indeed have a discreditable tale to tell, his words fall on fertile ground. Having set up the central misunderstanding of the novel, Austen then brings in her cast of fascinating secondary characters: Mr. Collins, the sycophantic clergyman who aspires to Lizzy's hand but settles for her best friend, Charlotte, instead; Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Mr. Darcy's insufferably snobbish aunt; and the Gardiners, Jane and Elizabeth's low-born but noble-hearted aunt and uncle. Some of Austen's best comedy comes from mixing and matching these representatives of different classes and economic strata, demonstrating the hypocrisy at the heart of so many social interactions. And though the novel is rife with romantic misunderstandings, rejected proposals, disastrous elopements, and a requisite happy ending for those who deserve one, Austen never gets so carried away with the romance that she loses sight of the hard economic realities of 19th-century matrimonial maneuvering. Good marriages for penniless girls such as the Bennets are hard to come by, and even Lizzy, who comes to sincerely value Mr. Darcy, remarks when asked when she first began to love him: "It has been coming on so gradually, that I hardly know when it began. But I believe I must date it from my first seeing his beautiful grounds at Pemberley." She may be joking, but there's more than a little truth to her sentiment, as well. Jane Austen considered Elizabeth Bennet "as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print". Readers of Pride and Prejudice would be hard-pressed to disagree. --Alix Wilber

    He never allowed anyone to give him anything he didn’t earn. It’s just how he was raised. Well, something was given to him that he didn’t deserve, accidentally. But it’s not something that can be given back: Power. Magical Power. Kevin was given the last vial in existence of a Magical solution. More like it smashed into him. There’s just one problem: he’s human. Humans aren’t supposed to know about the Magical world. Why’s that? Because humans can’t do Magic. Period. Oh, don’t get the wrong idea; Earth knows about Magic. But only in the form of stories. Kevin is about to be rudely introduced to it, and in a painful way. He will also learn that Earth isn’t alone, but Earth will never find out. There is a whole galaxy out there with other worlds that use Magic to travel. Though the worlds are inhabited by those creatures we read about in stories. Such as Werewolves, Vampires, Beasts, Changelings, Fairies, and even Goblins to name a few. But some are still on Earth, if you look hard enough. Though as a human, you might not want to do that. There’s no such thing as spaceships going across the stars. It’s all done by Magical means as Kevin is about to find out. His new trainer, Marrisa, is a no-nonsense kind of gal, with ears and a tail, who doesn’t take crap from anyone. Except, she is about to find that Kevin doesn’t take kindly to her attitude. But it seems that bounty hunters all have chips on their shoulders, and Marrisa’s chip is the size of a barn. Can they work together, or will Kevin have to ditch her and find someone else to train him? No one wants to work with Marrisa, but her bosses are telling her that Kevin’s her problem now. Join the pair as they try to figure out how not to kill each other. And watch the sparks fly between them, especially when a fellow female bounty hunter has a thing for Kevin!
