Book Description
Another wonderful regency from Ms. Solomon... this time, in the tradition of Abigail Reynolds, a Pride and Prejudice variation that should have you both smiling and weeping. What would happen, one wonders, if Mr. Bennet were to die, leaving Lizzie evicted from Longbourn? What if this happens after she has so forcefully rejected Mr. Darcy? What if Mr. Collins proves insuff erable (no surprise!) and Lizzie is forced to earn her keep? Will her path cross with Darcy's? Unlikely, but not impossible.... Can Darcy ever be absolved of his wicked remark "She is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me...?" What of Anne De Bourgh? What luminously cunning scheme is contrived to thwart Lady Catherine? Does Wickham's insidious charm still have consequences? For whom? When does an astonished Lizzy discover that the last man on earth she could ever be prevailed upon to marry is actually-quite sinfully-tempting? ------------- A gifted new author -Melinder Helfer [Romantic Times] on Viscount Victorious A fast paced and entertaining read that will delight readers with it's witty dialogue -Angela Keck [Romantic Times] on A Rag Mannered Rogue

Book Description
In the eighteenth century, the Western world viewed circumcision as an embarrassing disfigurement peculiar to Jews. A century later, British doctors urged parents to circumcise their sons as a routine precaution against every imaginable sexual dysfunction, from syphilis and phimosis to masturbation and bed-wetting. Thirty years later the procedure again came under hostile scrutiny, culminating in its disappearance during the 1960s. Why Britain adopted a practice it had traditionally abhorred and then abandoned it after only two generations is the subject of A Surgical Temptation. Robert Darby reveals that circumcision has always been related to the question of how to control male sexuality. This study explores the process by which the male genitals, and the foreskin especially, were pathologized, while offering glimpses into the lives of such figures as James Boswell, John Maynard Keynes, and W. H. Auden. Examining the development of knowledge about genital anatomy, concepts of health, sexual morality, the rise of the medical profession, and the nature of disease, Darby shows how these factors transformed attitudes toward the male body and its management and played a vital role in the emergence of modern medicine.
