I seem to hit a streak of mediocre books. Well, maybe not all of them are mediocre, but most of them don’t quite work for me, including this one. I know the author’s historical romances have many fans, but her writing didn’t excite me. I didn’t like the protagonists – they were too intense, and thei...
ah I don't want this book to end. I told myself to stop at 70%. So instead of finishing the book, I am poring over the reviews. It is always absolutely fascinating to see different opinions on one book and how everyone responds differently. Since I am on the positive side, I pay more attention to ne...
I really liked this much better than book 1 (To Taste Temptation). I appreciated that Jasper's PTSD wasn't "magically" cured by falling in love. Both he and Melisande found a way to deal with it. I liked their push and pull between each other. The mystery of the traitor isn't solved and might not be...
I liked that both Jasper and Melisande had secrets, since it so often is only one of them having secrets. Only one of the secrets end up threatening one of their lives but still. I had expected Melisande to be a virgin, but since she'd been engaged before and was 'on the shelf' (I hate that phrase) ...
Still digging the story within a story at the beginning of each chapter. The story of Laughing Jack gives great insight to Jasper's character. Oh Melisande, when she says she stood by and watched Vale become engaged to Emeline and then Mary but when Mary threw him to the side she thought to hersel...
Another amazing and wholly different historical romance from Elizabeth Hoyt. This lady can really write no wrong. Melisande was introduced in the previous book as the somewhat dowdy wallflower-by-choice friend. She's very much not caught up in the fashionable fops of London, although she does run...
An interesting story of a woman who has watched a man from afar who offers to take the place of his bride when he is jilted. Things get more interesting when they both start to find that actually they're well suited. The two characters are interesting and have depth and I enjoyed the read, now I'm...
Liked this one much better than book no. 1 of the series. A very emotional, passionate, and steamy read. The characters were complex and likable. Even though Melisande was a little harsh towards Jasper at the outset, I thought her reasons and mental state were fleshed out enough to provide a full ju...
Melisande, has always had a fascination for Jasper, Lord Vale. She has been watching him from afar for years, knowing that he doesn't even remember who she is or even her name, despite the fact that she was the closest friend to his former fiancee and childhood friend. However, when she hears that h...
