This was at times fantastic, and at other times completely trite. I loved the heroine - she was independent, intelligent, and charismatic, without being annoying or meddlesome or a doormat. Her occasional Southernisms were charming and rarely annoying or "too much." (I do wish she didn't have t...

Well, I picked this because I thought it had an interesting storyline but, really, it just went downhill pretty quickly after a few pages and didn't meet my expectations.It was ok, very predictable and boring, and didn't manage to really capture my interest (stupid characters, too). Did I mention...
Um livro com uma história que nos consome do princípio ao fim, apenas para descobrirmos o seu desfecho.Há seis anos atrás Beatrix Danbury era uma mulher prestes a subir ao altar para se casar com William Sunderland. Porém um inevitável contratempo que punha na balança dois pesos pesados, ou o cas...
Ce n’est pas une auteure dont j’ai apprécié les livres jusqu’ici. Je ne sais même plus pourquoi j’ai acheté celui-ci mais je ne regrette pas. Déjà, c’est agréable de lire une romance historique plus contemporaine que les habituelles victoriennes que je lis.Lady Beatrix a rompu avec William Mallor...
J'aime bien l'auteure mais je n'ai pas réussi à rentrer dans l'histoire. Je comprend que ça décrit une réalité historique d'une génération coincée entre les duchés et la valeur de la propriété terrienne d'un côté et les voitures et la nécessité de se construire une existence individuelle de l'aut...
3 STARS - I LIKED ITAUDIOBOOKThis historical romance is set around the turn of the century when cars were just starting to make an appearance but horse and carriage were still the primary source of travel. This was a well written book with a decent storyline and I enjoyed getting to know these c...
Scandal of The Year is the second book of Abandoned at the Altar series from Laura Lee Guhrke. Honeystly i wasn't interested to read this as i read reviews of the first book and its not promising. But i had time in hand and decided to skip the first book and to read this one. The story open with ...

Bonita novela histórica de romance con unos personajes muy bien desarrollados que mantienen el pulso con sus diálogos ingeniosos, llenos de pullas y coqueteos. Narrativamente está perfectamente cuidada y consigue atraparnos en la época y la historia que se nos narra, con escenas bonitas y un tras...
La Guhrke è una delle poche autrici di romance storici che leggo ancora con piacere, che ancora regala storie diverse ed originali, come questa. La caratterizzazione di Julia era già vincente dal romanzo precedente, e in questo si conferma un personaggio nuovo, originale, fuori dagli schemi, eppu...
