Book: Edenbrooke Author: Julianne Donaldson Genre: Fiction/Historical Romance Summary: Marianne Daventry will do anything to escape the boredom of Bath and the amorous attentions of an unwanted suitor. So when an invitation arrives from her twin sister, Cecily, to join her at a sprawling count...
A charming romantic story, set in Regency England, this novel has a banner ‘Proper Romance’. I guess it means romance without sex, which is what it was, and the lack of sex scenes actually enhanced the tale for me. The heroine Marianne is young, naive, and very proper. The hero Philip is charismatic...
Edenbrooke was just what I needed; a quick, light, clean romantic read. It was quite predictable and one of the characters was completely clueless, but it was so much fun.
Delightful. In some ways this book was a bit of the regency romp cliche. There were highwaymen, an abduction, mistaken identity, wealthy dowagers, etc. What set this apart for me was the main character, Marianne. It's not often I really love the heroines of novels. I frequently love the heroes, but ...
Ok, if you were unfortunate enough to be online and see my updating every 5 seconds late last night as I read this book, I apologize. And obviously, based on my first impressions, I hated this book. But I *did* stay up until 1 am to finish it, and I got lazy about updates ... so it improved. But not...
This came highly recommended and just sat on my TBR list for a while. I wish someone would have been a little more forceful about it because I absolutely loved it. Marianne is a great MC. She's smart and witty, hates doing the things "proper" ladies do and for all of those reasons, she is delightful...
What is the essence of Romance?Is it finding yourself blissfully content?Pleasantly written true, passionate, long love letters?Being with your beloved?Or subtly and confidently charming his way to her heart?My face grew hot at the look he cast me from under his lashes. "Ah, there it is," he said. "...
3.5 starsLight and fun read! It didn't really feel like a Regency novel, mostly because the writing was more casual than in the other HR books I've read. I also felt that the problems got solved too easily and it was a bit predictable. But the main characters were likable and the romance was fluffy ...
I yield at page 22. Most annoying herione ever, and WTF is with the twirling? How many times can you put the same word in just the first chapter? Have to make a note re: the blurbs on the back jacket. Three of them, all from wives of supposedly famous best selling authors (authors I have never heard...
I loved this book. So. Very. Much. It's been a very long time since I've gotten this emotionally entangled with the characters, and I found myself quickly wiping away a tear or two of bliss by the end. The fourth book ever that's made me cry, and the first one that's made me do it because of happine...
