( ) I've only read one other Amanda Quick book previously but I'm starting to see her "formula" and I think I like it. I actually liked this more than Ravished, which was the book of hers initially recommended to me. I liked Iphiginia, who was intelligent, independent, and obsessed with some scholar thing (part 1 of Quick's formula). Marcus, socially aloof and confirmed bachelor (part 2), was more interesting and personable than Gideon in Ravished. And I liked the fact that there were interested subplots involving other characters as well. Cuando Iphiginia Bright descubre que su querida tÃa es vÃctima de un siniestro chantaje, traza un plan temerario: hacerse pasar por la amante del famoso conde de Masters, a quien conoce personalmente. Marcus Cloud, el célebre conde, no sólo es terriblemente seductor, sino que su afán conquistador le impide, en ocasiones, actuar con prudencia y respetar las reglas mÃnimas del decoro. Una circunstancia fortuita hará que la recién transformada Iphiginia y el sensual Conde se encuentren frente a frente en una elegante fiesta. La intrépida simuladora tendrá que presentar batalla a la inesperada amenaza de su corazón: fiel a sus principios, el Conde intentará poseerla en cuerpo y alma. This was actually a pretty good historical mystery romance since both of the main characters had a sense of humor plus acted intelligent. I loved how Iphiginia did/did not follow society rules and the Masters set of rules. Adding a mystery to the story made it more interesting especially the ways that the couple tried to solve it. I also enjoyed the interactions with the secondary characters. Would read another of her books. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

After a year of grand adventures touring the classical ruins of Italy and Greece, Iphiginia Bright returned to England to discover that the real excitement was at home. It seems that her Aunt Zoe has fallen victim to a sinister blackmailer and only Iphiginia can hope to stop the culprit before he can do more harm. Her plan is inspired: Imitating history's most legendary beautiesâ??Cleopatra, Helen of Troy, Aphroditeâ??the former schoolmistress will remake herself, and descend upon London Society as the dazzling mistress of Marcus Valerius Cloud, the infamous Earl of Masters. Rumors hint that the Earl has disappeared at the blackmailer's hands, and by posing as his unknown mistress, Iphiginia is convinced she can ferret out the villain. Overnight, Iphiginia is transformed into a vision with a host of eager admirers, including one she does not expect â?? the Earl of Masters himself, who strides into a shimmering ballroom one evening to cooly reclaim his "mistress". He is everything they say he is... arrogant, attractive, devastatingly seductive, and Iphiginia can't help but be enthralled. But when Marcus agrees to play along with her charade, she doesn't know that the determined earl has plans of his own: to tease and tempt her, until the beautiful deceiver becomes more than his mistress in n Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
