Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. This was unexpectedly fun! I enjoy most of the author's books, and have gotten several free in exchange for reviews, but this was one of her best that I've read. Celeste and her siblings are renting Erran's brother's house and hiding from the cousin who is attempting to steal their inheritance. Erran first helps out of his sense of justice and wanting to get the family out of the home so his recently blinded brother can live there. Then he and Celeste discover a shared magical talent for manipulating others by their voices. They wrestle with whether that is good or evil, and also are involved in England's fight against slavery and poor working conditions. Of course there is irresistible lust involved, but the relationship is actually much more sincere than most fluffy romances, and is clearly built on actually caring for each other as people. A very enjoyable read. Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. I love Patricia Rice and all of her work. This story doesn't disappoint, it is a bit different being more physical attraction based romance, but it is a really great read. The theme of magic was a really nice touch too. I really enjoyed reading this book a lot and look forward to more of her work. A++++ as usual. Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. This romance combines semi-history Regency romance with magical powers, which works as long as you don't think too much about it. There are interesting questions of racism and class, but the story is too frothy to look too hard at them. The romance worked, although the characters had a terminal case of foolish non-communication (not emotionally honest non-communication). The different ways the two main characters think about their similar magic gift is interesting, but I'd prefer it if they'd talk to each other about it instead of storming around in disagreement. Our heroine kinda accidentally starts an industrial strike while on a tour of a cloth factory. Oops, but maybe good for the people? The writing was good; not flashy but not clumsy. Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. Not bad. The romance is pretty good, though a little too much focus on lust - they do appreciate each other's minds and personalities, but it's the uncontrollable lust that finally draws them together (rather boring). The characters are interesting - not just the protagonists, but the secondary characters have backstories and motivations and impulses. I was just a trifle confused at the beginning, as it referenced events from the prior book - not badly, though. I do want to read both the first book in this series (this is the second) and the subsequent ones - I'd like to see more of this Regency-plus-magic setting, and these two (or three, or one...depending on how you count) weird families. I'm not sure I'll find the story worth rereading, but I did enjoy reading it and would like to see more in this world. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
