[Spanish] - Reputación

"Abandonada por sus padres, la intelectual Georgiana Ellers está pasando el verano en la campiña inglesa con sus tíos, una pareja que no parece tener ni idea de lo que es la diversión. En una fiesta particularmente aburrida, conoce a la enigmática Frances Campbell, que pertenece a una de las familias más ricas e influyentes de la alta sociedad y que siente un absoluto desprecio por las normas y los convencionalismos. Solitaria y vulnerable, Georgiana se siente fascinada por Frances y sus amigos, tan ricos, salvajes e inapropiados como ella. Gracias al grupo, se introducirá en el escalafón más alto de la aristocracia de la Regencia y en un mundo de embriaguez libertina, de gastos frívolos y jóvenes misteriosos, entre los cuales destaca Thomas Hawksley, quien tiende a cruzarse con Georgiana en sus momentos más vergonzosos. ¿Hasta dónde está dispuesta a llegar una joven anodina por tocar el cielo de la aristocracia más canalla? Con un telón de fondo de fiestas lujosas, hombres guapos a caballo, y en una época en la que la reputación lo era todo, esta comedia romántica atrevida e hilarante explora las relaciones, el consentimiento y el estatus a través de los ojos de una heroína inolvidable que bien podría haber sido protagonista de una novela de Jane Austen."

"Bloomsbury presents… Not for the Faint of Heart by Lex Croucher read by Kit Griffiths and Olivia Dowd Rip-roaringly romantic, fast-paced and funny - discover the Sapphic historical fantasy adventure from the author of Cafe Nero Award shortlisted, YA Book Prize nominated and Books Are My Bag Reader's Award winner, Gwen and Art Are Not in Love ‘You aren’t merry,’ said Clem to her captor. ‘And you aren’t all men. So there’s been some marketing confusion somewhere along the line.’ Mariel, a newly blooded captain of the Merry Men, is desperate to live up to the legacy of her grandfather, the legendary Robin Hood. Clem, a backwoods assistant healer known for her new-fangled cures, just wants to help people. When Mariel's ramshackle band kidnap Clem as retribution for her guardian helping the Sheriff of Nottingham, all seems to be going (sort of) to plan … until Jack Hartley, Mariel’s father and Commander of the Merry Men, is captured in a deadly ambush. Determined to prove herself, Mariel sets out to get him back – with her annoyingly cheerful kidnappee in tow. But the wood is at war. Many believe the Merry Men are no longer on the right side of history. Watching Clem tend the party’s wounds, Mariel begins to doubt the cause to which she has devoted her life. As the two of them grow closer, one thing is clear. They must prepare to fight for their lives – and for the lives of everybody in the greenwood.

Trouble: The new laugh-out-loud Regency romp from Lex Croucher

"There's a new governess at Fairmont House, and she's going to be nothing but trouble. Emily Laurence is a liar. She is not polite, she's not polished, and she has never taught a child in her life. This position was meant to be her sister's - brilliant, kind Amy, who isn't perpetually angry, dangerously reckless, and who does (inexplicably) like children. But Amy is unwell and needs a doctor, their father is gone and their mother is useless, so here Emily is, pretending to be something she's not. If she can get away with her deception for long enough to earn a few months' wages and slip some expensive trinkets into her pockets along the way, perhaps they'll be all right. That is, as long as she doesn't get involved with the Edwards family's dramas. Emily refuses to care about her charges - Grace, who talks too much and loves too hard, and Aster, who is frankly terrifying but might just be the wittiest sixteen-year-old Emily has ever met - or the servants, who insist on acting as if they're each other's family. And she certainly hasn't noticed her employer, the brooding, taciturn Captain Edwards, no matter how good he might look without a shirt on . . . As Fairmont House draws her in, Emily's lies start to come undone. Can she fix her mistakes before it's too late? Praise for Lex Croucher: 'Bridgerton's wild little sister. So much fun!' Sarra Manning 'Witty, whip-smart and full of characters I totally fell for. I didn't want it to end' Laura Kay 'Beyond entertaining - high debauchery with a feminist swing' Abigail Mann"

Reputation: ‘If Bridgerton and Fleabag had a book baby’ Sarra Manning, perfect for fans of 'Mean Girls'

"It is a truth universally acknowledged that girls just wanna have fun. Abandoned by her parents in favour of a sea view, middle class Georgiana Ellers has moved to a new town to live with her dreary aunt and uncle. At a particularly dull dinner party, she meets the enigmatic Frances Campbell, a wealthy socialite and enchanting member of the in-crowd. Through Frances and her friends, Georgiana is introduced to a new world of wild parties, drunken debauchery, mysterious young men with strangely alluring hands, and the sparkling upper echelons of Regency society. But high society isn't all it's cracked up to be, and the price of entry might be more than Georgiana is willing to pay . . . This witty romcom about status, friendship, and first loves explores sex and consent in a time when reputation was absolutely everything, and feminism in a time when women's rights were a completely different story. It's full of lavish parties, handsome men on horseback and a sense of humour that would have given Austen herself a chuckle. Performed by Bessie Carter (Bridgerton, Beecham House, Howard's End). 'A spirited Regency romcom, which tears up the Regency romcom rulebook! If Bridgerton and Fleabag had a book baby, it would be Reputation. I inhaled it in one sitting' Sarra Manning 'I had so much fun reading Reputation. It's a total blast' Louise O'Neill 'The perfect blend of period drama decadence with Mean Girls gossip. Beyond entertaining - high debauchery with a feminist swing' Abigail Mann"
