![]() ![]() fast-paced, dialogue wasn't too terrible, and Robards can paint an evocative picture, felt like I was there. definitely readable, like addictively readable. ![]() Surprisingly not horrible pirate romance. She made loving truly dangerous, exposing his deepest fears-and his mutinous heart. Cathy refused to be treated like chattel, yet yielded to his sensual invasion as she conquered his body and soul. She was fire and ice, a lady outraged, a tigress in his arms. Jonathan Hale never took captives and always escaped-until he saw the headstrong beauty he couldn't leave behind. He was a legendary pirate, daring, triumphant, free. ![]() His searing kisses kindled unfamiliar passions, but she vowed to make him her prisoner of desire. ![]() All Catherine had were her wits and the will to beat her captor at his own game. Just in time, Captain Jonathan Hale rescued her from his own men, sweeping her into his arms, staking his claim on the pampered daughter of England's ambassador to Portugal. Lady Catherine Aldley was en route to London when pirates attacked her ship. Bestselling, award-winning author Karen Robards brings to life two extraordinary characters-an aristocratic beauty and a notorious pirate-in a love story that sizzles with passionate adventure and unbridled desire. ![]() ![]() And then, in an equally detailed sequence, Joker begins to undress Barbara as she writhes in agony on broken glass, promising he’ll take some snapshots for her father to see. ![]() ![]() Joker shoots Barbara through the spine, an act shown in painstaking, painful detail. The doorbell rings and she answers it, thinking it’s her friend Colleen from across the way, come to collect her for yoga. The “adult content” happens in an earlier, domestic scene, where Barbara – who has recently retired from being Batgirl – is helping her dad, Commissioner Jim Gordon, with his scrapbook and cocoa. Neither of them is tortured or humiliated or victimised. The violence between Batman and Joker shows nothing remarkable or graphic. But the reason they go through that routine – before collapsing into laughter, in what might be a hug or a deadly grapple, on the deliberately ambiguous final page – is the sexual violation of Barbara “Batgirl” Gordon. Yes, it includes Batman-Joker violence, and then some sixth-form-philosophical stuff about insanity and evil, and whether anyone could turn into a villain if they just had “one bad day”. ![]() ![]() But The Killing Joke isn’t quite like every other superhero comic. Why should anyone outside the comics community remotely care? Joker is going to hit Batman, Batman is going to hit Joker, and maybe there’ll be some blood and cursing to justify the rating. So far, so familiar: executives getting geeks wound up about a cartoon movie and touting its dark, edgy content. ![]() ![]() ![]() I do not want to highlight the series to talk about LGBT themes, so common in this June month. But it is certainly a narrative that leaves us with hope that there are spaces in the world where relationships transcend age, gender, sexual orientation and strange ways of being in the world. Tales of the City is not a brilliant series, often lost in clichés and over-emotional moments. The story is not new, but it is told now in 2019 showing us the transversality of love, this so called love that makes us feel at home - leading us to understand that the meaning of home exceeds the physical to make us understand after all that "home is where the heart is ". Tales of the City, a Netflix series premiered this month, tells the story of several people living in a San Francisco apartment complex called Barbary Lane, all linked to a 90-year-old lady who owns the property. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sisters of the Forsaken Stars (New York: Tor. ![]() Sisters of the Vast Black (New York: Tor.com, 2019) The sisters of the Order of Saint Rita captain their living ship into the reaches of space in Lina Rathers debut novella, Sisters of the Vast Black.

When not writing another of her thrilling and page-turning tales, you will find her reading mainly when it involves consuming chocolate and drinking coffee.

My copy looks well read and has sat on my shelf for such a long time, I don’t have any idea where it came from.

This is a book I always thought I had read. ![]() |
