Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. 2nd read- I like the insight into the characters' reasons and motivations, and how they develop. I feel like both characters could have been kinda hard to relate to, but through their musings we're taken along on their journey with them. There's attraction from the first, but they do get to know, and challenge, each other as well. Try it if you like wealthy Dukes, women with secretive pasts who try to resist charming rogues, and reformed rakes. =D There's a variety of steaminess, but not a lot of detail, so it still feels kind of middling steamy to me. ( ) The well-written but badly plotted final volume of Ms Hunter's "Rarest Blooms" quartet. Perhaps I should have read the first three novels before attempting [b:Dangerous in Diamonds|9211153|Dangerous in Diamonds (The Rarest Blooms, #4)|Madeline Hunter|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1311281528s/9211153.jpg|14090868], which contains a plethora of distracting two-dimensional characters. No doubt their stories are detailed in earlier volumes. The first few chapters were thoroughly enjoyable, presenting the pieces of a complex puzzle with the promise of an intriguing mystery. The advent of Latham, the villain of the story, presaged a climactic over-the-top confrontation at the end. The climax, when it came, proved to be weak and disappointing, all the more for the earlier intimations of his ruthless and amoral political ambitions. Just when the story began to flag, the long and vivid description of political unrest in the North of England and the Peterloo massacre reignited and reinforced the social and political dimension to the story but this, too, fizzled out. Against this background, the sitting-room confrontation between the villain and his victims, clumsily introduced and feebly executed, was a major let-down. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
