Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. The book, 'The Heiress Companion' by Madeleine Robins, was okay but nothing to write home about. It was lacking what I love in the regency romance genre, witty dialog. ( )While Rowena Cherwood did not go around boasting of it, she had a tidy legacy from her parents. Free to choose the life she wanted, and unwilling to live with her overbearing aunt, she accepted a position as Lady Bradwell's companion. A spinster of twenty-seven, Rowena gave little thought to marriage--until Lyn Bradwell, Lady Bradwell's long absent son, returned to England, their chemistry was immediate--and fiery.Love was the last thing on Rowena's mind--or Lyn's. Lady Bradwell, impatient for her companion's happiness and her son's, wondered how long it would be before her companion and her son would open their eyes. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. Nice! I'm sorry it took me so long to read it - I got it as an ER book in *gulp* 2011. As a Regency, it's excellent - the language works, the characters are not modern ones in period garb but react as people of the period, and I didn't see a single anachronism. As a story, it's a lot of fun! Fluffy, but fun. Rowena is capable, intelligent, broadly experienced, and not shoved into a corner by lack of money or reputation. Lyndon is...younger, in some ways (though I think they're pretty close in actual age), also intelligent and capable, and willing to admire a woman with the same characteristics. Both great people. Jack and Jane suit perfectly, and I suspect Margaret and Ulysses will also do well. Can't imagine who Lizzie will suit, unless she gets a serious shock and corrects her ways. The book is utterly full of romances, which is noticed, mentioned, and admired by the characters. Mrs. Cherwood is the most unlikely character - why, exactly, did Margaret's father marry her? But she makes an excellent foil for the rest of them. A very enjoyable book, worth rereading, and I'm looking for more by this author - she's good! Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. This was a delightful story with an independent heroine who isn't stereotypically young and spunky. Very well-written and engaging. Un altra piacevole "regency romance" di quest'autrice, senza troppe pretese di verosimiglianza di linguaggio e comportamento dei personaggi. Questa volta seguiamo ben tre coppie fino al lieto fine, con l'inevitabile pecca che la storia principale, quella tra i protagonisti, viene ben poco sviluppata: non si capisce perché si innamorino, ma nell'abbondanza di rosa si riesce anche a perdonarlo. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
