Beschreibung

In "The Red Mustang," William O. Stoddard weaves a compelling narrative that intertwines themes of adventure, identity, and the American landscape. Set against the backdrop of the American West, Stoddard employs a vivid, descriptive prose style that immerses readers in the rugged beauty and relentless spirit of the frontier. Rich in dialogue and local color, the novel reflects a keen understanding of its time, echoing the burgeoning spirit of individualism and exploration prevalent in late 19th-century America. Through its colorful characters and gripping plot twists, Stoddard captures both the allure and the risks of unbridled freedom embodied by the mustang itself. William O. Stoddard, a prominent figure of his era, was not just a novelist but also an editor and a journalist. His experiences in the American West, combined with his literary skill, informed his portrayal of life on the frontier. Stoddard'Äôs engagement in the socio-political issues of his time influenced his portrayal of characters that grapple with moral dilemmas and the harsh realities of frontier life, making "The Red Mustang" a nuanced representation of American ideals. For readers captivated by historical fiction that probes the complexities of human experience against the backdrop of America'Äôs vast, untamed landscapes, "The Red Mustang" is a must-read. Stoddard'Äôs nuanced character development and rich narrative tapestry create an unforgettable journey that echoes the eternal quest for freedom and self-discovery.

    If the covers of every romance book ever published didn't convince librarian Evangeline Kelly that she isn't heroine material, her fiancé calling off their wedding when she lost her hair to alopecia did. But what's a girl head over heels for love to do when her feelings are unrequited? Matchmake, that's what. Armed with library patrons' check-out histories, she's determined to make at least one love connection--even if it's not her own.  
     
    Tattoo artist Tai Davis is used to people judging him with a single glance, so it doesn't surprise him when the town's quirky new librarian believes his bad-boy reputation without giving him a chance. He can't help being intrigued by her, though, so when he discovers Evangeline's secret matchmaking scheme, he's not above striking a bargain with her. She just has to agree to one date with him for every time she uses his hometown knowledge to set up library patrons on a romantic rendezvous. The deal is made, but in the process, they both might learn you can't judge a book--or each other--by the cover.

    A tornado warning and a magazine quiz bring an unlikely pair together in this meet-cute romance debut perfect for fans of Notting Hill and Before Sunrise. 
    Nora is struggling with a corporate job that leaves her no time for family and the aftermath of an ill-advised hookup with a colleague who she's discovered had a girlfriend. And now there's a tornado warning on the news... of all things. Nora's prepared to hunker down alone for the storm with wine and a good book, until a beguiling (and admittedly handsome) British man shows up at her door. 
    Aiden tries to stay under the radar, but after starring in a string of popular movies it's become nearly impossible. So when Nora doesn't recognize him, begrudgingly letting him inside her home to shelter in place only after confirming he's an old friend of her landlord, he's relieved by the chance to be himself without the dynamics of celebrity.
    As they settle in, what starts as jokingly killing time answering questions for a silly magazine quiz turns into an evening of raw and meaningful discussion and blossoming feelings. But their new bond will be tested as soon as the sun peeks out. Nora is bound to find out who Aiden really is—and when she does, can their connection survive the storm?
