I enjoyed the overall story but I felt it a bit hastily written. Certain parts of the book were rather hurriedly resolved, and I think that it could have been expanded on more and the main characters’ initial relationship should have been more in depth. The story takes place over several years, whic...

For the life of me, i can't remember the last time a story made me keep reading it, up until five am!! And no! I do not suffer from insomnia, thank you very much!! Not knowing quite how, it seems i had forgotten how addictive the author's stories can turn out to be. The characters are so well craf...

I never wrote a full review for this, but I did have two mini ones. One from GR and the other from my blog, The Broke and the Bookish. I am just going to put both here. Oh, The Ugly Duchess.

As a matter of fact, had I anything else to read, I would have stopped the torture. Unfortunately, I'd left home with only this book in my hand. UGH!I loved Daisy - s...

Well, let's just be honest, the whole plot was weird : to save his father's estate, a 20 years old guy has to marry a girl that he considers as his sister. The girl learns the truth while blowing her man. They break up, he becomes a pirate, she becomes frigid. They reunite. The two main character we...

I really liked this one, althought I'd expected the book to be less about their marriage before he left and more about how he wins her back (that part was a little short).

This was probably a 2.5 stars for me. I didn't understand why they kept saying Theo was Ugly. She didn't seem that way. While James redeemed himself in the end, I thought running off and becoming a pirate was a bit excessive. I honestly could understand how he took on other lovers, since Theo tol...
