I thought this book started really well, I really loved how this book immediately portrayed a strong female lead character who strongly believed in justice for her father even though all evidence pointed towards him. I also enjoyed that this story did portray the hardships of going through a marr...
This is the first book I have read of Madeline Hunters. The book was enjoyable, playing around with the love-hate relationship. Whilst the twist at the end was surprising, my interest wasn't fully engaged, whilst I felt the need to finish the book it's not one that I would stay up until 2-3 in th...
I was surprised about how much I actually enjoyed this book, it’s one I would recommend to those who love historical romances. The best books are the ones that take you by surprise. Audrianna has travelled to an Inn on her own to confront some who may have information concerning the scandal her f...
This is the last book in a quartet, and it's been quite a while since I read book 3. I really liked the first three books, but what I saw in them of this book's hero, the Duke of Castleford, didn't make me want to read about him. In fact, I took against completely. I found him sleazy, and resente...
I am surprised that I liked this book as much as I did. Castleford, the hero, is introduced as a mean guy, a persona he dons on Tuesdays. The rest of the time he is a drunken imbecile. The novel seems to be devoted to his Tuesdays. A day that puts everyone who knows him in fear of their lives. Th...
The finale did not make as big of an impact on me as I had expected it to. I found Daphne's character a bit lacking. She was more intriguing in the previous books of the series (maybe due to her small parts in it), though the conversations between her and Castleford were pretty amusing. Castlefor...
Die reiche Erbin Verity Thompson wurde gegen ihren Willen mit dem Earl of Hawkeswell verheiratet. Ihre Verwandten erzwangen ihre Zustimmung nur durch Erpressung.

Sweet, Shocking, and Intense. A real rollercoaster!"When a man is nineteen years of age, getting roaring drunk is fun, audacious, and rebellious. One needs to be good and foxed to join an orgy without in inhibition. About five years ago I decided that I would never get that foxed again. At which ...
3.5 stars. Audiobook. I liked this series, although I have read it slightly out of order. Verity had some huge misconceptions about Hawkswell but he was conceited in his treatment of his bride as well. I did like how he went out of his way for her in the end, I found him to be a worthy hero for h...
The Rarest Bloom series revolves around a group of four women who, until book 1, lived together very quietly in a property just outside London. That property belongs to one of them, Daphne, who took in the other three when they needed it. All four women clearly have secrets, and the reason they c...
I wasn't sure how I felt about this story at first. I was not a huge Celia fan from the first book. As I came to understand her character I sorta fell for her too. All of the Rarest Bloom girls have captured my attention. In Provocative in Pearls I started to really like Castleford and this book ...
So good, I read it in one day and then wanted to read it again immediately! I hated saying goodbye to Celia and Jonathan. Wonderful, multi-faceted, strong characters. Hot sex. A strong plot. Hot sex. LOL! It wasn't graphic but it was HOT. Okay, technically I could see several things wrong with it...
I should have been warned off by the word "Surrender" in the title.It's good that you're warned because it then feels like that word or an equivalent synonym is included in every description of her interaction with or feelings towards the 'hero'.Ugh, what a pathetic weak woman when it came to her...

Foi o primeiro livro que li da autora. De uma maneira geral gostei bastante. Do estilo, da história, e do tempo que passei com ele.A inocência de Rose chega, por vezes, a roçar a estupidez. A fé que ainda deposita no irmão, fugido por roubo, é inacreditável.A história é típica. A família arruinad...
Found this at the library. ..storyline was intriguing and initially I was drawn into the book and the bits where Cassandra felt wronged and misunderstood were poignant indeed. but the prose and plot moved really slowly in the first two thirds so I really had to plough through. I really hate the b...
I wanted to like this couple but no dice. I like a female lead to be a little troublesome but Lydia was quite foolish at times. I like the hero but it doesn't make sense why he'd like the heroine. The author should have made more scenes for their youth to have it make more sense why they dislike/...
