As such, I found it quite delightful. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: "One of the finest and most delightful writers in romance." –Mary Jo Putney The classic traditional Regency from New York Times bestselling author, Loretta Chase, is back... What's a girl to do, when her father, known as Devil Desmond, is one of the most infamous rogues in all of England? Delilah Desmond is not happy. To provide for her, her father has sold his memoirs, filled with scandalous and embarrassing exploits—effectively ruining her chances for a suitable marriage, so she can support her family while saving her father from disgrace. But it seems the manuscript is in demand by all sorts of unscrupulous persons, and preventing its publication is going to be impossible; especially now that it has been stolen. Can the hot-tempered Delilah and her very unwilling accomplice, absent-minded, bookish, Jack Langdon with his soft grey eyes and tousled hair, salvage the disaster? It appears that deceptively quiet Jack may have a core of steel—and be the one man smart and strong enough to be the hero she'd been hoping for all along. .Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

As it was I never warmed up the hero and heroine and didnt really get what attracted them to each other.The hero was constantly repelling the heroine with his bookishness,and those times he kissed her he suddenly transformed into this this masterful person.It grated on me.
The author should be commended for trying to write a schoolarly hero though,but I felt that Jack remained a bit of a mystery throuhgout the book.
I think that there was hinting that certain aspectes of Jacks personality was the cause of something that happened in his pst ,but it wasnt explored properly.It should have been fleshed out more.
Then the heroine,Delilah was one of those insanely feisty heroines that are a staple of historical romances.Her spiritedness started to become annoying after a while.She kept shifting between personalities also in one instance she is ruthlessly calculating how to hook a man for marriage in the next shes this free spirited person who cant be contained by societys strictures.
Delilahs parents,Devil and Angelina was very entertaining though. Maybe the best part of the whole book. Would have loved to read about their story. :)
