Sidney Bristol

About

It can never be said that Sidney Bristol has had a ‘normal’ life.  She is a recovering roller derby queen, former missionary, and tattoo addict. She grew up in a motor-home on the US highways (with an occasional jaunt into Canada and Mexico), traveling the rodeo circuit with her parents. Sidney has lived abroad in both Russia and Thailand, working with children and teenagers. She now lives in Texas where she splits her time between a job she loves, writing, reading and belly dancing.

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.

<blockquote> <p><em><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Sidney’s characters are so real that you can’t help but relate on some level.</span></span></em></p> </blockquote> <p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><a href="http://www.romfanreviews.com/2012/12/review-bound-with-pearls-by-sidney.html">Rom Fan Reviews</a> – 5 Man Chests</span></span></p> <blockquote> <p><em><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">This is the second book I have read by Sidney and her style is really gripping.

All I’m saying is that, for a BDSM romance, I found this book refreshing, playful and natural.<br /> I’d recommend it!</span></em></span></p> </blockquote> <p><a href="http://tootsbookreviews.blogspot.com/2013/04/review-excerpt-giveaway-bound-with.html"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Toots Book Reviews</span></span></a></p> <blockquote> <p><span style="font-size:medium;"><em><span style="font-family:Arial;">Bound with Pearls isn’t a wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am story but one depicting a budding relationship which incorporates BDSM.
