Škandalózne spojenectvo s drsným vojvodom

Napísal Milan Buno, knižný publicista 17. apríl 2021

Prijmite pozvanie na Moonlight Square – na najromantickejšiu adresu v regentskom Londýne. Podľahnite čaru ľúbostného príbehu s napínavou dobrodružnou zápletkou! Séria Moonlight Square pokračuje tretím dielom Nespútaný vojvoda.

Londýn 1817. Po návrate z prvej línie bojov proti Napoleonovi sa major Connor Forbes, rodák z Írska, na svoje obrovské prekvapenie dozvie, že zdedil titul anglického vojvodu. Má to však jeden háčik: poslední traja vojvodovia z Amberley zahynuli za záhadných okolností. Zakrátko sa aj jeho samého niekto pokúsi zabiť a Connor si uvedomí, že súrne potrebuje pomoc. Ale komu z nepriateľsky naladenej londýnskej smotánky by mohol dôverovať?

Lady Margaret Winthropová sa zúfalo snaží uniknúť z domácnosti svojej panovačnej sestry, aj keby to znamenalo, že sa vydá za arogantného lorda Brycea. A tak keď horkokrvný Bryce vyzve nového vojvodu z Amberley na súboj, Maggie neostane nič iné, než orodovať u vojnového hrdinu, aby nechal jej nápadníka nažive. Ani vo sne by jej nenapadlo, že to bude začiatok jej škandalózneho spojenectva s drsným vojvodom...

Connor a Maggie sa rozhodnú spojiť svoje sily, aby vyriešili všetky záhady, a popritom sa zblížia. Môže však ich krehké puto vydržať, aj keď im cestu skríži pomstychtivý vrah? Podarí sa im odhaliť rodinné tajomstvá skryté hlboko v minulosti a dostanú napokon šancu na šťastie?

Historická romanca Nespútaný vojvoda má všetko, čo čakáte od tohto žánru. Vzrušenie, romantiku, napätie, zradu, pomstu...a dve postavy, ktoré si obľúbite. Drsný a zločinecky naladený Connor, naproti nemu nevinná a tak trošku nevychovaná lady Margaret.

Ak máte rady búrlivé historické prostredie, tajomstvá a záhady, a napokon aj nezvyčajne sa vyvíjajúce vzťahy, prídete si na svoje. K tomu pridajte zmyselné milostné scény, neraz zábavné dialógy, hru so slovíčkami a máte výbornú oddychovku na ktorýkoľvek večer.

Gaelen Foley rada vytvára silné ženské postavy, ktoré sa neboja postaviť ani mužom. Aj preto si jej príbehy obľúbilo toľko čitateliek na celom svete. V slovenčine vyšli v tejto sérii už dve knihy – Škandalózny vojvoda, potom Tajomný vojvoda a teraz je tu teda Nespútaný vojvoda.

Začítajte sa do príbehu:

Bledý lúč mesačného svitu prenikal cez okno do modročiernej tmy jej komnaty a osvetľoval ciferník hodín. Do polnoci chýbala zhruba štvrťhodina.
Už bol takmer čas ísť.
Lady Serena Parkerová sedela napäto na kraji postele a čakala. Jediný zvuk, ktorý sa ozýval do ťaživého ticha izby, bolo pokojné tikanie hodín na kozubovej rímse. Jej tep však bol rýchlejší, poháňali ho nekalé úmysly.
V ústach mala sucho. Odpila si trochu bieleho vína, aby sa upokojila, a potom si znovu skontrolovala šnurovanie na členkových čižmičkách. Po celý čas trónil na okennej rímse huňatý kocúr ako jej strážca. Wesley hľadel z okna a krútil pritom chvostom.
Ani jej chlpatý priateľ s dokonalým nočným zrakom však odtiaľto nedovidel na vojvodov dom na opačnom konci Moonlight Square.
Na stromoch v parku sa ešte vždy držalo jesenné lístie, ktoré zacláňalo výhľad na rivenwoodovské sídlo. Serena sa o tom presvedčila už mnohokrát.
Bol chladný októbrový večer a v londýnskom dome jej rodiny občas čosi zavŕzgalo pod náporom jesenného vetra.
V jej izbe však bolo stále cítiť leto vďaka kvetom, ktoré jej poslali nápadníci. Tí boli ešte horlivejší, odkedy ju už nebolo vídať v spoločnosti jej nezvyčajného bývalého favorita, knihomoľa lorda Tobiasa Guilfoyla.
Pri myšlienke na svojrázneho bývalého pytača ju pichlo pri srdci. Znovu si roztrasene odpila vína.
Ukázalo sa, že Toby bol zbabelec a podľahol nátlaku svojich rodičov, ktorí s ich zväzkom nesúhlasili, keď vyšli na svetlo sveta isté okolnosti.
A čo sa týkalo ostatných nápadníkov, všetci boli rovnakí.
Nudili ju. Toby bol možno tak trochu nešťastník a čudák, ale aspoň bol zaujímavý.
Tak či onak, teraz ju trápili dôležitejšie veci ako manželstvo. Ako by mohla javiť čo i len najmenší záujem o lásku, keď sa celý jej svet obrátil hore nohami po tom, čo Toby pri výskume pre svoju knihu odhalil tie hrozné veci o jej rodine?
Potrebovala odpovede — zaslúžila si ich —, a preto sa teraz o polnoci vychystala a pripravila na odchod z domu.
Uvedomovala si, že jej plán je šialený, ale už dosť dlho trpela v temnote a nevedomí. Serenina krutá matka zaťato odmietala povedať čokoľvek o jej pôvode, a tak nemala na výber a musela odpovede hľadať sama.
Hodiny ticho odbili, skoro nadskočila.
Trištvrte na dvanásť. Nepokojne vstala a vybrala sa za Wesleym k oknu. Pozrela von na vrcholce stromov, postriebrené mesačným svitom. Polovica listov už opadla, no zvyšok jej aj tak stále zastieral výhľad na Rivenwoodov dom v opačnom kúte námestia.
Potichu bubnovala končekmi prstov po bielom okennom ráme. Bola nervózna, ale nebála sa. Práve naopak, bola bdelá a trochu vzrušená z tohto neistého nočného dobrodružstva. Nevedela sa dočkať, kedy konečne vyrazí.
Chcela sa len uistiť, že poskytne všetkým zhýralcom vo vojvodovom dome dostatok času, aby sa pohrúžili do víru večierka a dali si pár pohárikov.
Dúfala, že polnoc už bude vhodný čas, veď celý Londýn čakal so zatajeným dychom práve na tento večer.
Bolo to po prvý raz, čo tajomný Azrael Chambers, vojvoda z Rivenwoodu, otvoril svoje sídlo spoločnosti.

    After unracking the barbell, place your arms
    so they're completely vertical. This is the most secure and strongest
    place to be in. In this text, we’re going to cover everything you need
    to know concerning the Incline Bench Press that can help you build a stronger and greater higher physique.
    On StrongLifts 5×5, you can do the Paused Bench Press on the finish
    of exercise A. Three sets of 5 with about 20% lower than you Bench
    Press.
    Locking your elbows on the Bench Press isn’t unhealthy in your
    joints. Your elbows will damage when you take them previous their normal vary of movement.
    These injuries are frequent with martial arts.
    Do not flare your elbows out to ninety levels from
    your physique. In common, the decrease the incline, the extra the movement resembles the
    traditional Bench Press. You wish to hold from making these
    very common errors. Preventing these errors will
    enhance your type and assist you to proceed to develop positive aspects.
    Also, you cut back the prospect of developing an damage.

    We'll provide you with a more detailed sample workout
    under, however when you have any burning questions or considerations,
    consult with a health professional.
    In addition to the pec muscle tissue, the entrance deltoids of the
    shoulders and the triceps are worked as well.

    Jeff Cavaliere is a Bodily Therapist, Energy Coach and creator of the ATHLEAN-X Training Packages
    and ATHLEAN-Rx Supplements. This works as a result of the arms and wrists are connected to the
    remainder of our arm, and by changing their place we get a different response from the
    higher arm. But how you push the weights up over your chest really determines which of those muscles get the
    attention. The eccentric, or reducing, part of the carry is arguably
    more crucial for muscle progress than the press.

    At the highest of the rep your elbows must be nearly locked and the dumbbells must be 1-to-2 inches aside or barely touching.
    You don’t have that restriction when utilizing dumbbells.

    This means you'll find a way to practice your muscles via a larger vary
    of motion and stretch your pecs extra thoroughly in every rep.
    Your elbows should stay beneath your wrists throughout your complete rep.

    This stacked place protects your joints and puts you within the strongest attainable pressing position. Holding
    a weight in every hand forces you to make use
    of more of the smaller stabilizing muscle tissue in your arms and
    shoulders, such because the muscle tissue of the rotator cuff.


    Your ideal angle will range based mostly on fitness degree, mobility, and harm historical past, in addition to
    the precise muscle tissue you want to target.
    In general, an adjustable bench angle of
    degrees is a good start line. This angle provides you with an excellent balance
    of upper chest and shoulder coaching. You can lower the
    incline for extra chest work, or increase the angle to focus on your shoulders.
    As at all times, it is essential to have correct type to keep away from injury
    and adequately work the muscular tissues.

    This is ineffective, like doing front raises.

    The proper method to Bench Press is in a diagonal line.

    Fail the Bench Press on objective a couple of
    instances to overcome the worry of failure. Put 80% of your max weight
    on the bar and set the protection pins. Unrack the bar,
    decrease it to your chest and press it again up.
    This will provide you with a fuller, more developed chest, resulting in a more athletic and balanced physique.
    The exercise and diet routine for skinny women. We’ll train you tips on how to acquire 10 kilos within the next 20 weeks.
    You’ll have the flexibility to choose from exercise alternatives,
    and fill out the sheet. The change in movement prompts
    barely completely different fibers, which might
    really help improve your muscular improvement.
    By Way Of "Fit Life Regime," he generously shares the insights he’s gained
    over a decade in the area. His objective is to equip others with the data to begin out their own health journey.

    To rack the bar you should rotate it so the hooks catch these pins.
    The machine balances the bar and solely let’s it transfer in a vertical
    line. This makes the Smith Machine look safer than Benching with free weights.
    I’ve never needed to do the above as soon as in 16 years of training.
    Not even during my first 5 years Bench Urgent in a commercial health club with out Energy Rack.
    I’ve seen people get trapped by the bar a number of instances.


    Shut your arms by placing your fingers on the bar.
    Squeeze your fingertips into the bar so it can’t transfer.
    If your lower back hurts when your toes are on the ground, verify your backbone.
    It ought to have a natural arch like if you stand.
    Don’t hyper-extend your decrease again it or you’ll squeeze your
    spinal discs. If your spine is impartial but
    continues to hurt, check the height of your bench.
    Typically talking, newbie and intermediate lifters will see the most effective outcomes by benching twice per week.
    Research present that training a muscle group
    twice every week will present better results than once per week.
    Total, the identical is true for alternating dumbbell
    chest presses as well.
    That's because your core muscular tissues must work tougher to resist rotation as you decrease the dumbbell
    to a minimum of one side. In any case, you must feel comfy modifying or progressing
    the transfer to get precisely what you want out of your workout.
    Whether you're using dumbbells or barbells (or kettlebells!),
    you'll want to set your body as a lot as bench press for success.

    Follow these kind cues, and you may be in proper position.
    Keep your butt on the bench when you arch your lower back.
    This fine-tuning just isn’t something you can accomplish with barbell benches.
    That’s why I favor the Dumbbell Bench Press, and you
    can even make it the main player in your bench press program.
    Relying on the entrance delt and the pec muscle fibers together to do all of
    the work can shut down the triceps.
    Larger angles, nearer to a 45-degree angle, will target the shoulders extra.
    The right bench angle will depend on your physique type, so it’s worthwhile to
    experiment with the bench angle till you find a sweet spot.
    You’ll want an adjustable bench and a pair of dumbbells
    to execute the Dumbbell Incline Bench Press. Most gyms have exercise benches with
    flexible diploma angles.
    Nevertheless, if you want to construct maximal pushing energy, bench press
    is a should. Being strong in the bench press will
    allow you to achieve success in all other useful push actions, to not mention in sports and
    in life. We’ve already went over all you want to know about the
    standard grip flat bench press. If you should learn how to do it,
    scroll as a lot as the 'Tips On How To Do A Bench Press' section. Lower the bar right down to your decrease sternum (about nipple level).
    This will normally create a slight "J-curve".
    Basically, on the high of the carry, the bar is immediately over your shoulders and on the bottom when the bar touches your chest your forearms are
    vertical.
    Some people question the effectiveness of microloading.
    The 20kg/45 plates can often be off by 1kg/2-3lb. Add 1kg/2lb to your
    Bench Press every week and it'll improve by 52kg/104lb a 12
    months. No matter what stage you’re at,
    there’s always room to improve your Bench Press kind.

    If he doesn’t concentrate or reacts too gradual once I
    fail, the pins all the time catch the bar.
    Great spotters provide you with a proper hand-off so your shoulders stay again on the bench.
    They only grab the bar if you fail a rep, not struggle.
    You’re usually better off Bench Pressing alone and not using a spotter.


    Once More, listed under are a number of the best methods to essentially hit the mid-chest outside of the usual Bench Press variations and the classic powerlifting exercise.

    So, again with this step, mess around with it. Eventually, you need to be capable of find the optimal place where you are feeling probably the most activation in your chest with minimal discomfort.
    It’s finest to make use of lighter weights for the incline DB press, even when you’re accustomed
    to the incline barbell train. Before you completely change up
    your exercise routine, it’s essential to suppose about what makes a good incline variation.
    This stops wrist pain and makes the weight simpler to raise at the similar time.
    You get higher power switch from torso to forearms to bar.
    Bent wrists additionally makes the weight harder to Bench Press.
    The drive you generate when you press the bar from your chest can’t go straight
    into the bar. The bar is behind your forearms
    when your wrists are bent, not above them. To drive drive
    directly into the bar, you need a straight line from bar to wrists to elbows.

    Raised heels are much less steady for a similar cause standing
    on your toes is less steady than in your whole foot.
    Extra foot floor towards the ground is better. Some powerlifters Bench Press with raised heels.
    However the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF)
    doesn’t allow it. This is the definitive guide to correct form on the Bench
    Press. Moreover, you want to have a better understanding of tips on how to add them to your individual
    exercise routines. As I write extra exercise guides, I will like these variations to
    their articles.
    This workout can be done on a chosen chest day workout,
    on a push day as a half of a push-pull routine, or on some
    other higher physique day. Remember to use good type and give consideration to
    proper approach when doing these workouts
    to keep away from harm and get the most out of your
    exercise. It Is additionally essential to consult with a health skilled or coach if you're unsure the method to perform these workout routines properly.
    A convenient, body weight incline press variation, these push-ups are accomplished
    on a bench or some other elevated floor. Need to isolate the higher chest even further?


    Nonetheless, dopamine does not help construct muscles. The
    hormones that's released to construct muscles is testosterone.
    To get the most testosterone out of a workout, you possibly can take a specifically formulated protein shake before the
    exercise. That method, the muscle tissue will retain the memory of
    the workout longer and type more shortly. You can even scale back slip threat by working towards the motion with light weights until you master the vary of motion and grip dynamics.
    Of course, the variety of sets and reps shall be decided based mostly on your health journey, however right here is a good place to
    begin. This train stretches and contracts the chest muscular tissues by employing a flying
    motion, isolating the pectorals more than a standard press.


    Set up with the dumbbells held at chest height in a hammer grip and press them up
    till your arms are totally extended. Pause at the high, then deliver the weights again down slowly.
    The dumbbell bench press isn’t rocket science, but there are still a number of bad habits
    and customary pitfalls to avoid. "Firstly, there’s the frequent mistake with every train of trying to make use of too much weight," says
    Horton.
