Six Wives: The Queens of Henry VIII, Hörbuch, Digital, 390min
The first of Henry VIII's wives was Catherine of Aragon, the pious Catholic princess who suffered years of miscarriages and still births and yet failed to produce a male heir. As Henry VIII's interest shifted from her powerful Hapsburg relations and drifted towards France, so began his obsession with the pretty Lutheran Anne Boleyn. Jane Seymour's submissiveness was in contrast to Anne's vampish style, and Henry married her on the day of Anne's execution. Jane died soon after giving birth to the longed-for son. There followed a farcical "beauty contest" which ended in the short marriage of the now grossly overweight Henry to "the mare of Flanders", Anne of Cleves. The final part of Six Wives contrasts the two Catherines; Catherine Howard, the flirty child whose adulteries made a fool of the ageing King, and Catherine Parr, the shrewd, religiously radical bluestocking.

You're the Rogue That I Want: Rogues of Redmere, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 401min
Red never shies away from a challenge. Never. But when Miss Hannah St. John strides into his life demanding - yes, demanding - he help her, he's certain she's more challenge than even he can handle. Hannah is determined to transport an artifact from France - one that will change everything - even if it means working with a lawless man like Red. Nothing is more important than preserving history. Nothing. Not even the touch of a smuggler who inconceivably makes her stomach twist. When it becomes clear the irritating bluestocking will do anything for this blasted artifact and needs saving from herself, the earl-turned-smuggler steps in. Carting a cursed stone across the country with a know-it-all woman is not Red's idea of fun, particularly when their journey runs far from smoothly...so why does he find himself enjoying her company just a little too much? ungekürzt.

The irritating rogue is in her way at every turn-teasing, taunting, and all around upending her well-ordered life. But then again, what else could she expect from a pirate?

Sourly, suspiciously, the two sat eyeing one another across a smoke-hazed, liquor-stinking barroom. Each pondered the mad quirk of foolishness that had brought them to that seedy cantina on Calle de Noche Triste in Juarez, Mexico... “How ’bout a little night of love, querida?”“Beat it mister!” Her brown eyes flashed at him, and she looked away, muttering, “I’m waiting for someone.”“So?” He winked lecherously. “This carcass doesn’t take long to pleasure, sweetheart. Five minutes in the back room oughta do it.” He could see he had rattled her, although she was striving to cover it.Her mouth curled contemptuously. “I’ve bitten a few rotten coins, mister,” she hissed, “and don’t need to hook up with the likes of you." So began the acquaintance of the indomitable Roxana Van Buren and the unconquerable Sam Brady. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steven Cooper.
