Recensioni
The Pretender (Liars Club, Book 1) di Celeste Bradley
I enjoyed how bold the heroine wasn't a fainting damsel constantly needing to be saved. I appreciated that the hero was attracted to her intelligence and strategy. I think the ending could have been less contrived. The heroine had proven herself by that point and the ending conflict could have been more believable.
I liked it! Big Misunderstanding didn't bug me. Writing is superb.
ehhhhh. I enjoyed it but didn't enjoy it, you know what I mean?
When She Said I Do
3.5 Stars
Taking refuge in an apparently abandoned manor house, Calliope Worthington is caught with her hand in the jewel case by the owner, Lawrence Porter. Disfigured in the Napoleanic Wars, Ren has shut himself away awaiting death. But Callie awakens something inside him, and he makes a diabolical deal with her - one night for each stolen pearl . . .
Series Note: Book #1 in the Wicked Worthingtons is a spin-off of The Liar's Club. While characters do make cameo appearances, the plot is standalone and can be read as such.
Wow! This book is much more erotic than expected. Ren and Callie's Beauty and the Beast romance is very engaging. Their chemistry is sizzling and their banter is witty and charming.
The minor suspense plot is very familiar to readers of historical romance. The reclusive heir to an estate marries a young woman much to someone's chagrin, who decides to do away with her. It is unfortunate that the identity of the villain is revealed early on as this detracts from the tension.
The most problematic aspect of the book is Callie's madly eccentric family. They are just too ridiculous for words and their inclusion is tedious and annoying, None of them are sufficiently appealing to continue with the series.
Overall, an entertaining romance with a delightful couple, but the rest is meh!
