Description

<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</span><br /><span class="a-text-bold" style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:700;">B.R.A.G.

Story Behind The Book

After having three children, I've decided that I'm tired of hearing men say they can handle being pregnant better than a female. After watching an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the story took place. I had a lot of fun writing men having the symptoms of a pregnant female, and the reasons for why the demon decided to infect them.

<ol><li class="review-item"><div><blockquote class="review-quote"><span class="content">I enjoyed this book. Just finished reading it. I went to school with the writer and I want her to know she is a very talented woman. When I was reading the book, I could feel the characters and I hope to be seeing more writings from Sara in the future. Thanks. Good luck Sara!</span> <span class="rquo">”</span> </blockquote> <span class="review-name">Penny F</span> </div> </li> <li class="review-item"> <div> <blockquote class="review-quote"> <span class="lquo">“</span> <span class="content">It was very unusual and raw, but as I consumed it, the taste began to unveil it's many delicate flavors and I started to really enjoy it. There were so many elements that blended into one great story. Nala was very complex. On the one hand she was very strong, smart and confident, but due to her isolation, she was also insecure in her sexuality and in her power as a sensual woman. Gabriel is married to his job as a Graida (guardian for the Vardo) and somewhat of a commitmentphobe. He had a past love affair gone bad, waaaaaay back in the day that he uses as an excuse to screw around. Men! He wasn't a hound per se, just your typical Alpha hero sewing his oats.<br /><br /> Sara Trimble has done a phenomenal job of world building and blending of mythological beings in this story. She wrote it in such a way that it seemed logical and totally believable. The characters were varied and contained great depth, from the gay vampire to the insecure nympho fairy. Heart Over Mind, while being a dark story full of deceit, murder and betrayal, also balances it out with whimsical charm and a tad bit of sweaty sex. I see great potential in Sara Trimble's story and would really like to see her continue in this vein. It was a vastly entertaining read and I applaud her efforts and encourage her on her journey as an author. This is a world I would really like to explore further, and I definitely see promise in some of the secondary characters. Bravo, Ms. Trimble, and well done.</span><span class="rquo">”</span> </blockquote> <a href="http://www.ragesexandteddybears.com">Wendy Mitchell Rage, Sex and Teddy Bears</a> </div> </li> </ol>
