I was doing great with this book until I reached the ending. I HATED the ending. The author didn't tie up the loose ends. Maybe she didn't know how, but she left the big, suspenseful announcement out of the story and to the reader's imagination. It didn't leave me with that "peaceful, easy fe...
2.5 ก็สนุกนะแต่พล็อตไม่ได้มีความแตกต่างจากงานของลินน์เล่มอื่นๆ เดาได้หมดตั้งแต่ต้นเรื่องยั้นจบเลยขาดความตื่นเต้น หรือการบีบคั้นอารมณ์ใดๆทั้งสิ้น อ่านได้เรื่อยๆ ไม่ได้อ่านงานของเจ้าแม่ลินน์มานาน หลังจากผิดหวังไปสองสามครั้ง เลยเมินเล่มใหม่ๆ ที่ริวิวไม่ดีไปสองสามเล่ม เล่มนี้เห็นเขาว่าใช้ได้ก็เลยลองด...
2.5 starsThis may contain major plot spoilersI'm sorry to say that I didn't like this book so much compared to other Lynne Graham books I've read in the past. I know some people here really liked and enjoyed this book partly because of the strong heroine of Rosie, who's sometimes a typical in thi...
The hero was a misogynist, but at least he was a consistent character throughout the book. Heroine was big bosomed and plain (aka Jude Deveraux heroine as friend of mine mentioned). Fun scene was where heroine met up with hero's mistress and then went to ex boyfriend's to discuss a charity. Ins...
Very frustrated by the romanticization of this cheater. Hero is just not a good guy in the 2 year back story and it makes no sense that Milly would fall in love with a man who was cheating on her while they were dating and planning to continue to do so once they started sleeping together. I thi...
‘Why?’ Ellie smiled, thinking that her elderly employer was becoming very absent-minded. ‘So that I can apply for a loan to buy this business,’ she reminded him gently. Horace Barry looked dismayed. ‘Leave that for a while yet, Ellie,’ he urged. Bewildered by that reaction, Ellie murmured relucta...
‘This is Sebasten Contaxis…the lock’s jammed and I’m stuck in here! Call Maintenance!’’ Sebasten called back, all ice-cool authority. Five seconds later, high-heeled shoes were to be heard scurrying down the corridor. As soon as the racket of the woman’s retreat receded, S...
In her hand, she still gripped the cheque she had tried unsuccessfully to cash. Beneath her shining fall of copper hair, her delicate features were stamped with shock, her aquamarine eyes bemused. She climbed back into Rory Martin’s elderly classic car. ‘Why were you so long?’ Rory asked as he dr...
She was getting ready for Belle’s party but her thoughts were far removed from frivolity. If Nik had loved her, she was convinced she could have buried every atom of her insecurity for ever. As it was, unhappily, she was convinced that her husband had only returned to her ...
Her head no longer throbbed and she felt a good deal stronger and calmer. While she slept her suitcase had arrived and she opened it up and pulled out clothes for the evening ahead. Apparently there was to be some sort of a party to which the locals were invited. She showered and washed her tangl...
She would be too warm in the garments but they would have to do because she couldn’t wear the red suit again. Some minimal make-up applied to conceal the puffiness of her eyes and her pallor, her hair caught up in a high ponytail for coolness, Ruby forced herself to walk out to the dining area an...
The two men stopped on the terrace to talk. Belle hovered, hearing an animated exchange between the men in a foreign language. It didn’t sound like Italian and she wondered if it could be Greek. When she heard the other man expostulate loudly several times she guessed that Cristo was telling him ...
It was just as well. Daisy was not in a chatty mood. Her wedding day. Her second wedding day. She tried hard to concentrate on positive thoughts. She was not in love with Alessio, nor did she have any illusions about this marriage. Alessio had made no attempt to pretend that it would be anything ...
Earlier that morning she had visited both her parents and that had proved a disorientating experience. On medication her father was now much calmer but he had seemed utterly divorced from the events that had led to his breakdown in the first place, not once even referring to them. In any case she...
No, she wasn’t about to show the shame she felt, and she wasn’t anyone’s victim—least of all Bastien’s. This was her choice, she reminded herself doggedly. Bastien might have laid out those hateful options but she had made the choice, and she was still happy with what her sacrifice had achieved f...
‘I’m double-parked!’ ‘I’m almost there,’ Tally gasped, running out of breath as she charged past the shops and up to the sleek silver Ferrari awaiting her arrival. Slinging her bag of files in ahead of her, she almost fell into the passenger seat in her haste. All her attention was reserved for t...
The little girl was golden-haired with the wide, pansy-blue eyes of a china doll, and the minute she saw him she smiled in happy recognition. The innocence of that trusting smile cut Angelo as sharply as a knife, for few children could have been subjected to a tougher start in life than little Ma...
She has one brother. She grew up in a seaside village and now lives in a country house surrounded by a woodland garden, which is wonderfully private. Lynne first met her husband when she was fourteen; they married after she completed a degree at Edinburgh University. Lynne...
‘There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to keep my father alive.’ ‘That’s admirable, gioia mia. I admire loyalty,’ Valente countered smoothly. ‘That only leaves the terms to be discussed.’ Caroline wanted to empty the water jug over him, because he made no attempt to hide his strong satisfaction. Winning ...
Shown into a room as traditionally furnished and comfortable as the room she had seen downstairs, Saffy breathed in deep. The furniture was ebony inlaid with gleaming mother-of-pearl and the bed was a fantasy four-poster hung in swirling silk that piled opulently on the floor at each corner. Saff...
Billie was quick to agree and stayed only long enough in the bedroom to dress in casual clothes. In the ground-floor office suite, she stepped into the working role she had given up as if she had never been away and although the other staff were now somewhat overawed by her new position as Alexei...
While Rafael talked to his trainer, Harriet watched the horses break from the starting gate. In spite of every intention to the contrary, she got caught up in the thrill of the race, and when Fearless pulled ahead she surrendered to frantic excitement and cheered him on. ‘Brilliant, brilliant hor...
There were paparazzi everywhere. As a man who set a high value on privacy, he was not impressed. He was even less impressed with the topless sunbathers on the vessel moored beside his who were calling out to him and making inviting gestures. As if, Alexei thought with all the disdain of an aristo...
