3 1/2 Stars.This ebook is licensed for your personal enjoyment only. The resolution was a bit too easy for my tastes, but it had all the elements I love in Alexis Harrington novels (only, for once, there was no child involved, which was pretty refreshing to be honest.)The heroine's prickly attitude got on my nerves a bit, but, considering her circumstances in life, I can kind of understand it.I really liked the hero, though his baggage from his previous marriage definitely put a dampener on things. the heck?Ok ok about the actual book - I really enjoyed it. Review 2: I admit, the cover made me LOLI mean, really. Weird I missed that as I swear I had virtually gone through all her 1800s pile. Now I know this is a series, I should be looking at the next one. I guess most of the other characters are female, maybe that is why I cannot rightly connect with him.The h I like in general as she is tough and pragmatic, but for someone who has been relying on herself for so long, her judgements in some matters seem to be quite unbelievable. So I just don't feel as strongly for him as I do for other Harrington characters. The way the H is.probably contributes a bit to this lacking of something I cannot name, as though he seems to feel a lot, most times we cannot fully connect to his emotions, I feel.
Also.don't get why he all of a sudden changes his mind again (errr again I actually do but then I just find it quite unnecessary to begin with I cannot have much sympathy with him).
I don't understand why the H leaves (well I do but I just find that idiotic and not as torturous as it should be). more suspense in some books just ruins some scenes for me.This author's trademark is angst and I just expect more of that from her I guess. Though when I read some supposedly loving scenes, I was so worried the villain is around the corner that I didn't really read that but kept.muttering get it over with already! he is coming argh! Then when nothing dastardly happened, I smiled, shaked my head at my own silliness and ponders how. It is quite nice to read their fights and slowly learn to trust and be close to each other.The plot is pretty predictable, though not knowing this is a series, I thought we have more villains loitering about till much later.
The h is also no helpless fragile flower but snarls right back at H. I love the stranger helping h make a living plot and this one is refreshing in that the H is no aye ma'am servant but is snarky and sarcastic as can be. Review 1: Didn't like it as much as I had expected.
