Μοντέρνοι ιππότες: Άπιαστο όνειρο / Ερωτικό ρίσκο / Ακαταμάχητος εισβολέας

by Emma Darcy

Κάποτε ήταν ατίθασοι έφηβοι, τώρα είναι τρεις επιτυχημένοι,
δυναμικοί άντρες –και θα κάνουν τα πάντα για τις γυναίκες που αγαπούν!

ΑΠΙΑΣΤΟ ΟΝΕΙΡΟ
Στα δεκάξι του, ο Ρικ Ντονάτο αγαπούσε τη Λάρα Σέιμορ, αλλά τους χώριζαν ανυπέρβλητα εμπόδια. Χρόνια μετά, είναι πλέον ένας καταξιωμένος φωτογράφος διεθνούς φήμης –κι εκείνη παραμένει το ίδιο όμορφη και απρόσιτη. Ωστόσο, η μεγάλη ζωή που ζει η Λάρα κοντά στο σύζυγό της είναι ένα ψέμα και ο Ρικ το ξέρει. Για να τη βοηθήσει, της προσφέρει καταφύγιο στην Γκουνταμούρα, στην ενδοχώρα της Αυστραλίας. Όμως, θα γίνει ποτέ δική του;

ΕΡΩΤΙΚΟ ΡΙΣΚΟ
Ο ασυναγώνιστος δικηγόρος του Σίδνεϊ Μιτς Τάιλερ αναλαμβάνει να προστατέψει την Κάθριν Λέτζερ από τον κίνδυνο που διατρέχει εξαιτίας μιας ενοχοποιητικής φωτογραφίας που έχει. Δεν την αφήνει λεπτό από κοντά του, αλλά η έλξη που νιώθει για κείνη κοντεύει να τον τρελάνει! Ξέρει ότι προέχει η ασφάλειά της και, το κυριότερο, ξέρει ότι η Κάθριν είναι αρραβωνιασμένη και ανήκει σε άλλον…

ΑΚΑΤΑΜΑΧΗΤΟΣ ΕΙΣΒΟΛΕΑΣ
Ο διάσημος τραγουδιστής Τζόνι Έλις κληρονομεί αναπάντεχα τη μισή Γκουνταμούρα –ένα μέρος που θυμάται με πολλή νοσταλγία και αγάπη. Είναι αποφασισμένος να σώσει την κτηνοτροφική μονάδα, που κινδυνεύει να χρεοκοπήσει. Αλλά δε θα είναι καθόλου εύκολο, καθώς βρίσκεται από την πρώτη στιγμή αντιμέτωπος με την εχθρική στάση της συνιδιοκτήτριας, της κόρης του μέντορά του…

About the author

Emma Darcy is the pseudonym created by the married writing team of Wendy (1940-2020) and Frank Brennan (1936-1995). Their life journey has taken as many twists and turns as the characters in their stories, whose international popularity has resulted in over sixty-million book sales. With more than a hundred titles, Emma Darcy appeared regularly on the Waldenbooks bestseller lists in the U.S.A. and in the Nielson BookScan Top 100 chart in the U.K.

Wendy was born 28 November 1940 in Australia. Her sister was the novelist Maureen Mary (Miranda Lee). Her father was a country school teacher and brilliant sportsman. Her mother was a talented dressmaker. She obtained an Honours degree in Latin and initially worked as a high school English/French teacher. She married Frank Brennan, an Australian businessman born in 1936. She changed careers to computer programming before marriage and motherhood settled her into a community life. She was reputedly the first woman computer programmer in the southern hemisphere.

As voracious readers, the step to writing their own books seemed a natural progression and the challenge of creating exciting stories was soon highly addictive. They were published since 1983. In 1993, for the Emma Darcy pseudonym's 10th anniversary, they created the "Emma Darcy Award Contest" to encourage authors to finish their manuscripts. After the death of Frank Brennan in 1995, Wendy wrotes books on her own. She lived in a beachside property on the central coast of New South Wales, and liked to travel extensively to research settings and increase her experience of places and people.

Wendy Brennan passed away on December 21, 2020. She is survived by her children, grandchildren, and sister, writer Miranda Lee.

A great read Outback hero's was great loved the three stories about three young 16 year old boys and the different path they take after meeting at Patrick Mc Quire's farm when they were sent there to spend 6 months instead of Juvenile dentition. It tell how the boys become men one at time with the paths each takes and become like brothers and gift of man who changes their lives in way for the good in all three. I will recommend this book.

Decided not to bother finishing this one a quarter of the way in. I know it is only fiction but no woman is going to leave a abusive relationship with a minutes notice and take off and sleep with another man the day after she has been beaten and raped by her husband.

4 stars was for the third instalment of the book which was Johnny’s story. I enjoyed his story more so than Ric and Mitch’s.

Three great stories in one. Loved the difference with a sequence.

[Trisha Taylor · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fairly typical love story for each of the lads. Overall connected each story with the others. Liked that I knew of the Aussie places they spoke about.

DNF at 26%. I wanted to read this because of the Bachelorette cover. Holy crap this hero is awful. What a dickbag. And the heroine lies about contraception. Just no to this whole thing.

Yes, it is a Five Star Story. Very enthralling.

I wasn't engaged by the writing; it was stilted and unrealistic at times. This was a DNF for me.
