Doctor Who: The Complete Fourth Series

Doctor Who: The Complete Fourth Series

Wow! Talk about intensity. The Spaceship Titanic crashing toward earth, the horrific last day of Pompeii, the saddness of the enslaved Ood -- the Doctor's adventures don't get any easier, only more frightening, culminating in the kidnapping of the entire Planet Earth. This series is a must see as the Doctor and companions of past and present all come together to save not only Earth, but the universe. -- recommended by Janet K. - Walt Branch Library

Dark Curse

Dark Curse
by Christine Feehan

Christine Feehan continues her Carpathian Dark series with Dragonseeker Lara Calladine teaming up with Nicolas Dela Cruz, an arrogant, sinfully handsome Carpathian hunter. Lara has spent her life seeking the ice caves where she had been tortured as a child by a grandfather intent on discovering the secret of immortality while destroying the entire Carpathian race. The whispers of her imprisoned aunts kept her sane while teaching her vitally important mage magic. They even helped her escape. Now she hopes to use that knowledge to rescue her aunts. Nicolas wants only to protect his lifemate, but his need for control nearly destroys Lara. Feehan produces another wild ride filled with heart stopping emotions as the two discover just how strong a weapon love can be. -- recommended by Janet K. - Walt Branch Library

Staff Recommendation - Simply Perfect

Simply Perfect
by Mary Balogh

Regency romance writer Mary Balogh completes her Simply Quartet series with Simply Perfect. In this final book, Claudia Martin, the very proper headmistress of Miss Martin's School for Girls, finds that her proper world can be a very lonely world. She has succeeded in becoming independent, but at what cost? Then she meets Joseph, the Marquess of Attingsborough, and everything becomes clear. Balogh weaves her usual sensual tale of two people from different worlds finding love amidst problems of grand proportions. Of course they could never be together -- or could they? Read the book to find the Simply Perfect solution. -- recommended by Janet K. - Walt Branch Library

Staff Recommendation - Trust Me

Trust Me
by Jayne Ann Krentz

Krentz does her usual great job of drawing you in with her quirky characters, fun dialogue and intriguing mystery. This time she matches Desdemona Wainright of the flamboyant theatrical Wainright clan with Sam Stark, the computer genius who has been left at the altar twice by women who claimed he was as unemotional as his computers. He's been called an android, a Super Nerd, but Desdemona sees the lonely man who's afraid to trust. She sets out to teach Stark the importance of family. When a dead body turns up and Desdemona's life is threatened, Stark proves he's more than a machine, he's a man in love who will do what it takes to keep his woman safe. -- recommended by Janet K. - Walt Branch Library
