I guess this is one of those beloved old school type romances but I was so horrified throughout. The opening scene is terrible and it just continues through the book. So one star. TBH I can't believe I finished it. ( ) Basically everyone in this story is a dipshit. Really, all the major and most of the minor characters are total garbage buttwipes. And the "despoiling" Could I tell you why a similar-ish plot device worked for me in Lord Ruin but not here? No, I couldn't Was it readable? Sure, I mean, I got through it. Was it enjoyable? That's a big fat NOPE. At least it cost me zero dollars. I have read quite a few Jo Beverly books. At this point of time, i feel this one might have been the worst I read so far. It was soo booring. The main character so un-relatable. I understand that these books are set in victorian times and as such the mental makeup and situations may not relate to present day. However for a reader to dig in to a book, they have to relate to the character, the conflict or even anything in the book. For me this was a complete miss. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML:"Jo Beverley strains the boundaries of political correctness . . . There is no denying Ms. Beverley is a master storyteller and perhaps because of this political incorrectness she delivers a powerfully fresh stage for her story." ~Tara A. Green Ruined through her vile brother's schemes, Eleanor Chivenham is offered rescue by marriage to a rake with an infamous French mistress. Eleanor accepts, determined to treat the arranged marriage with cool dignity. Then she meets Nicholas Delaney. Not only does he stir her senses, but the trouble and pain beneath his smooth exterior reaches her heart. Nicholas is indeed troubled. While serving his country by seducing secrets out of a French spy, he is persuaded to marry Eleanor to protect his family's honor. But such chivalry runs counter to his carefully wrought rogue image, and extends the life-threatening plots shadowing him to Eleanor. To assist, Nicholas re-assembles the Company of Rogues, a schoolboy group he started years before. But not even they can dampen Eleanor's fighting wit that is quickly unmasking their enemy and testing Nicholas' formidable will. From The Publisher: Author Jo Beverley is known for her consumate attention to historical detail that wisks the reader back in time to a near first-hand experience.
