Honestly I found the end a bit silly, but I appreciate that it was written that way on purpose. Very enjoyable fast read. ( ) The first book in this duology,The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen, was a 2.5-3 star read for me; this one is more in the 3-3.5 range, so an improvement, but not a wholly satisfying one. The first half or so of the book was by far the stronger, with some good chemistry between the leads, Rufus and Luke, before it all got a bit stagey and lent into some Gothic/romance tropes that aren't, I think, where K.J. Charles' strengths lie as a writer. It was a quick read, so I flew through the book until the epilogue, which felt a bit like being Wile E. Coyote running into one of those canyon walls painted to look like a tunnel. (Also I think the prose got noticeably weaker in the second part. A Nobleman’s Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel by KJ Charles The Doomsday Books #2 Flat open moorland in 1823 could be a desolate lonely place for some but for others it is a place of intrigue and danger, dysfunctional families and family feuding, messes to clear up, and fertile soil for the growth of potential happily ever after romances for more than one. Great story that kept me awake till almost two this morning – had to finish before I slept last night! What I liked: * Rufus: retired major, newly minted earl, in the midst of trying to restore his estate, dealing with evil relatives, in need of someone to assist and perhaps befriend him, caring, kind, short tempered, loud, and lovely, perfect for and with Rufus * Luke: educated, experienced secretary, loves to create order and be helpful, from a smuggling family, had a difficult childhood, carries baggage and scars from the past, has secrets, a bit of a schemer, perfect for and with Rufus * The slow burn but then steamy relationship that develops between Rufus and Luke and being able to see the two men as a happy couple * The way more than one character impacts another in a positive way * Getting to see and catch up with some of the characters in the previous book * The setting, plot, pacing, and writing * That I was drawn in and cared about the outcome * Being able to hate the bad guys – and be happy when they were dealt with * Hoping that there will be another book in this series What I didn’t like: * Who and what I was meant not to like * Thinking about inheritance and how ruthless some people can be when trying to achieve their goals Did I like this book? Yes Would I read more in this series? Definitely Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for the ARC – This is my honest review. 5 Stars nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"Major Rufus d'Aumesty has unexpectedly become the Earl of Oxney, master of a remote Norman manor on the edge of the infamous Romney Marsh. There he's beset on all sides, his position contested both by his greedy uncle and by Luke Doomsday, son of a notorious smuggling clan. The earl and the smuggler should be natural enemies, but cocksure, enragingly competent Luke is a trained secretary and expert schemer-exactly the sort of man Rufus needs by his side. Before long, Luke becomes an unexpected ally...and the lover Rufus had never hoped to find. But Luke came to Stone Manor with an ulterior motive, one he's desperate to keep hidden even from the lord he can't resist. As the lies accumulate and family secrets threaten to destroy everything they hold dear, master and man find themselves forced to decide whose side they're really on...and what they're willing to do for love"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
