Sophie's father's public indiscretions have caused Sophie to vow not to marry a rake and left her parents estranged. So when the notorious rake Patrick Foakes proposed she turns him down and becomes engaged to his friend Braddon. But, inevitably, all is not plain sailing as planned elopement with Braddon goes awry and Sophie ends up marrying Patrick. Sophie is another of James’s unconventional heroines, gifted with languages, she is encouraged by her mother to hide her gift in case her husband views her as a bluestocking. Another enjoyable slightly dark tale by James which passed the time. ( ) Liked this book much better than Potent Pleasures, although there was one part that was sad and out-of-place for a romance novel. Don't get me wrong, the scene was good and worked for the story, I just personally don't want to cry when I'm reading fluff. I can read Nicholas Sparks if I want a romance that tugs on the heartstrings. Anyhow, I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. This book is one of the very few of Eloisa James's books I've read where the subplot does not get desperately in the way of the main story. It's integrated in such a way in this book that it works with the story, and helps to further the main plot. This is a good book, although it didn't stay with me very long afterwards. It's a fun read, and the characters are engaging, but not engaging enough to make this a great book. Sophie is a good heroine, Patrick is tortured, and their estrangement is quite complete (she doesn't even know when she becomes a duchess), but there's just something emotionally missing from this book that keeps it from sticking with you. no reviews | add a review

HTML: In the night, all rules are forgotten ... Eloisa James, the acclaimed author of Potent Pleasures, returns to Regency England with an unforgettable new heroineâ??a genteel but naughty innocent who gets more than she bargains for when she finally says yes to love. To her legions of adoring suitors, it comes as quite a shock when Lady Sophie York rejects an offer of marriage from the dashing, rakish Patrick Foakes in favor of amiable but dull Braddon Chatwin. He may be an earl, but it is Patrick's stolen kisses that sear her lips. When Patrick, in disguise, scales a ladder to retrieve his friend's fiancĂ©e, he never expects the elopement to be his own. Neither does Sophie, Braddon, or the rest of the tattling ton. One hasty wedding later, the passionate innocent and the sophisticated rogue play out their own intricate dance as Sophie masters what it takes to keep a man where he belongs. And Patrick learns the ultimate lesson in love. No library descriptions found. |
