This is a beautifully written, terrible, infuriating story. I knew this was a controversial book when I picked it up, but it's also an influential book in the "romance canon," so I wanted to read it. There are a lot of blogs and articles out there hashing out the merits and moral failings of this bo...
You know how, in many historicals, there's this bad guy who the heroine is forced to be in close contact with? Maybe her guardian, or the man her family is pushing her to marry, or her employer--whoever he is, he wants her, and takes advantage of the fact that she's under his control. The hero has t...
The second part of the story would be a 4 stars. But it's irrelevant how much I liked certain parts, the characterization, the way the story seemed to flow.

Para ter e manterQue livro. É de tirar o folego o misto de emoções que eu senti lendo ele.To Have and To Hold conta uma história diferente de tudo o que eu já li. Confesso que não sou muito fã livros com muito drama e sofrimento, mas quando eu li as várias resenhas falando sim do sofrimento das pers...
3 1/2 stars actually... While I liked this story, I liked the first in the series much better. The first half of the book really bugged me. I HATED the way Sebastian treated Rachel.
