Muži, co zírají na ženy
Čtyřiatřicet povídek Miloše Čermáka se odehrává dílem u nás, dílem ve Spojených státech, jejichž prostředí autor zná z vlastní zkušenosti. A občas se hrdinové Čermákových příběhů vypraví i mimo náš svět... Už před lety řekl jeden ze znalců literatury, že Čermák může být naším největším spisovatelem, a to nejen svou výškou (206 cm). Snad by se mu to nakonec podařilo, kdyby nevěnoval tolik času médiím a podnikání. Ale možná by pak neměl dost námětů pro svoje barvité povídky, které píše rychle a občas i na přání – doslova „z fleku“. Nabídnou vám drama zhuštěné na pár stránek anebo dotek hororu, jindy zas drsný, vlídný či absurdní humor. A můžete se v nich setkat i s Bohem, kterému autor dokáže přidělit lecjakou roli, aniž by popřel jeho právo sledovat věci shůry. Anebo s anděly, kteří se, byť je to nečekané, chovají tak trochu jako my. Povídky jsou ale v této knížce především o lidech, i když je v jedné z nich hlavním hrdinou procesor DLC-86700-X. Takže tu logicky musí být i láska a sex. Ve škále od něhy dvou starých lidí až po sex divoký a volný, ba dokonce nevšední, pokud lze tím slovem označit úchylku s vášní k moderní kopírce. K přístroji. A až knihu dočtete, zůstanou vám sice v paměti věci často až neuvěřitelné, leč přesto v mnohém věrohodné. Potom vás asi napadne, že je v tom hodně pravdy.

But when she realises her daughters will be forced into the same unending servitude, Haart secretly starts preparing for a life beyond the confines of their Orthodox suburb - where she can pursue her 'sinful' dreams designing clothes.

Yet here she was, standing outside the gates of a gorgeous pink villa being refused entry by the insufferable – and insufferably handsome – Raphael Knight, her father’s business manager.
When an old black and white photo proves Lia’s claim to be true, Raph is determined to make sure this stranger, with her long caramel waves and infectious smile, doesn’t have an ulterior motive. Even if that means not letting her out of his sight.
As temperatures rise, and not just from the heat of the Mediterranean sun, could Lia and Raph’s forced proximity lead to something more like… amore?

Most Ardently: A Pride & Prejudice Remix
London, 1812. Oliver Bennet feels trapped. Not just by the endless corsets, petticoats, and skirts he's forced to wear on a daily basis but also by society's expectations.
The world - and the vast majority of his family and friends - think Oliver is a girl named Elizabeth. He finds solace in the few times he can sneak out and explore the city dressed as a young gentleman. During one such excursion, Oliver becomes acquainted with Darcy, a sulky, rude young man.
But in private, Oliver comes to find that Darcy is actually a sweet, intelligent boy with a warm heart. And so Oliver will have to choose: Settle for safety, security, and a life of pretending to be something he's not, or risk it all for a slim chance at freedom, love, and a life that can be truly, honestly his own.
