Did you know that Open Road Media has been reproducing some wonderful books as ebooks? I’ve been all over them!! Check out these new Sally Beauman titles they’re releasing:

Dark Angel

A riveting tale of deception and murder—past and present

On an April night in 1910, just after the appearance of Halley’s comet, a man dies violently at an English manor called Winterscombe. More than half a century later, Victoria Cavendish tries to root out the secrets that have haunted three generations of her family. With the aid of a timeworn journal, she begins an unconventional voyage into the secrets of the past. As Victoria moves closer to the truth of what happened on that fateful night long ago, she uncovers a shocking saga of sex, love, and betrayal.

Traveling through two world wars and beyond, peopled by a cast of unforgettable characters, Dark Angel is a mesmerizing novel about love and redemption.

Lovers and Liars

In the first book of a trilogy of seductive, suspense-packed Sally Beauman novels, a man and woman stumble upon a political conspiracy in which nothing is what it seems . . . and no one can be trusted

Just after New Year’s, four small parcels are delivered to Paris, Venice, New York, and London. Photojournalist Pascal Lamartine is sent a woman’s left-handed black leather glove. Reporter Gini Hunter receives a pair of handcuffs. They soon discover that the anonymous packages may be linked to a breaking sex scandal that could rock the world’s political stage.

Who sent the packages, and why? As the dogged journalists delve into a sordid world of lies and deceit, call girls and secret trysts, Gini and Pascal rekindle their own passionate affair. The truth goes back farther than they imagine . . . to the other side of the world and a long-awaited revenge.

Destiny

Sally Beauman’s international bestseller sweeps across decades and continents to tell a spellbinding story of star-crossed love

Edouard’s story begins in London in 1940. At fourteen, he’s the son of a baron and second in line to a dazzling jewelry dynasty.

Hélène’s story begins in Alabama in 1950. An only child, she lives with her mother in a trailer park and dreams of escaping her hardscrabble life.

Their paths cross in France, and a brief, passionate affair follows. They are separated by fate, and that seems to be the end. But Edouard cannot devote his life to business . . . not before finding Hélène again.

Destiny is Sally Beauman’s masterpiece about a man and a woman and their once-in-a-lifetime love.

Sextet

Hollywood—and the tangled passions of men and women—takes center stage in this unconventional thriller, the final book of Sally Beauman’s seductive and irresistible trilogy of page-turners

Expertly weaving a cast of compelling characters with a moody, multilayered plot, Sally Beauman once again shows why she’s the reigning mistress of drama and suspense. Part mystery, part allegory, and part love story, Sextet reveals the yearnings and dangerous desires of the human heart as it hurtles to a stunning climax.

I love to read! But I don't always think the synopsis on the backs of books do them justice. I do, however, believe all books should come with an intended rating - or at least a steam FYI. So, I'm taking upon myself to educate all -- christian & secular readers, alike -- on the books behind the synopsis and the possible things you may not want your YA reader to see. Enjoy!
