( ) All the trigger warnings needed here, and I’m sort of weirded out that I have to give them for a Balogh book. There’s sexual assault (past but described), stalking, and suicide. And the creepiest villains ever (shudder). I’m glad that Luke found his heart again with Anna and all that, but there’s no way I’m reading this again. I hope Emily’s story doesn’t freak me out as much, and I love that Balogh has grown so much in her writing since 1995. Mary Balogh is a favorite Regency author, but shades of Georgette Heyer, I found this older book set in Georgian England. It's also somewhat Gothic with an evil villain obsessed with the heroine. Lucas Kendrick becomes Duke of Harndon after being ousted from his family. Now he must return to resolve the tangled relationships he left behind. One of his first duties is to find a wife and beget some heirs. His relatives are pushing him toward Lady Anna Marlowe, and much to his surprise, Lucas finds himself willing to acquiesce. Of course, Anna is not what she appears and has dark secrets in her past. Lucas realizes that there is more to the lady than he first thought. He also finds he must revise his opinions of others in his family. It's a lovely story and well-written, a bit different from Balogh's Regency style but fitting perfectly into the Georgian era. I do love patches and wigs, and Balogh makes ample use of these accouterments of that time. Lucas is one of those heroes that calls for more books; I'd love to see him and Anna dealing with their offspring in the Regency era. Hint, hint. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML:From New York Times bestselling legend Mary Baloghâ??and the beloved author of Longing, Silent Melody, and Beyond the Sunriseâ??comes a ravishing novel of passion and duty, love and menace.... Life has taught Lucas Kendrick, Duke of Harndon, that a heart is a decided liability. Betrayed by his elder brother, rejected by his fiancée, banished by his father, and shunned by his mother, Luke fled to Paris, where he became the most sought-after bachelor in fashionable society. Ten years later, fate has brought him back home to England as head of the family who rejected him. Unwilling as he is to be involved with them, he must assume responsibility for his younger siblings, the family estate he once lovedâ??and the succession. He faces the prospect of marrying with the greatest reluctanceâ??until he sees beguiling Lady Anna Marlowe across a ballroom one night. Anna, far from being the bright-eyed innocent Luke takes her for, is no more a stranger to the shadows of a painful past than he is. But for her, marriage cannot so easily solve what is wrong in her lifeâ??not when a tormentor stalks her to the very doors of Bowden Abbey, where Luke and Anna must learn to trust in each other or risk any chance they may have fo Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
