An old favorite. An arrogant Russian prince meets a indomitable English lady and sparks fly. Kat was acerbic, funny and adorable in her haughtiness. Dimitri is insufferable and spoiled and his comeuppance is well deserved. A fabulous read although very politically incorrect.
Typical Lindsey historical. Overblown emotional yarn with great characters. Quick read.
Honestly this book bothered me... a lot. I do not considered being handled the way that she did as romantic in any conceivable way. It is criminal in fact. I don't know any woman who would like to be subjected in the same manner as she did no matter how dashing, how handsome, how charming her "abductor" is. With this thought looming over me, I could not, for the life of me, get on with the story and the characters. This is one of the most disturbing book I've ever read.
noooooo nope nope noppppppppe no
Regency Romance. Russian prince Dimitri kidnaps lady Katherine and refuses to accept she is a lady. OK
Aunque habÃa tenido apenas una visión de ella desde la ventanilla de su carruaje, el joven prÃncipe sabÃa que necesitaba hacerla suya. Pocos minutos después, Lady Katherine Saint John era secuestrada en una calle de Londres como una mujerzuela y llevada a una suntuosa mansión... para el placer de su admirador.
Pero lo que el prÃncipe Dimitri halló en su cama fue una tigresa cautiva... consumida por una ira feroz hacia el bárbaro ruso que la habÃa raptado... pero que, al mismo tiempo, deseaba con un ansia ajena a su comprensión...
