Enjoyed the MCs but the antagonistic energy in the beginning seemed off. Some anachronistic language is offensive. Also, prior MCs who feature as secondary characters now donāt have the same personalities. ( ) Several times something happened, that were so entirely unreasonable, that it yanked me out of the story. Much in between those times was enjoyable, but I think when I look back at this book it will be the preposterous bits that stick out the most. Secondly, the hero is supposed to care so much about her wellbeing and protecting her, but then quite selfishly tosses it all aside when it benefits him. There's always some suspension of disbelief, a willingness to set aside unlikeliness in order to enjoy a story, but these were just too big for me to swallow. And lastly, the little parable or whatever throughout the book was such a sad little thing. The first few of these seemed like a tale that's been told for hundreds of years but you've just never heard it! But this one- 2nd read- Perhaps this one was supposed to be more of a comedy? The other books are dramatic and have some unlikely things here and there, but this one really dabbles in preposterous. Again, I was not impressed with the hero's choice I mentioned last time, short-sightedness and selfishness are not qualities I look for in a hero. She's young and has been sheltered, so maybe she would be reckless with her future, but he's older and more experienced and should better look out for her (especially since his looking out for her person is the thing he's most known for in this book). If I set that aspect aside though, I did like how his feelings for her developed. Hers for him seemed to go from hostility to a mild crush to all-out love very, very quickly. But his were more believable, and he had some sweet moments. I also liked how we learn more of his background. This is my least favorite of the whole series, but it's not entirely horrible This, my 16th high rating reread, held up. Damn, I love these two (might be a 4, but tripping across moors is one of my all time favorite scenes.) Original review: *Tosses kobo aside. Steeples fingers. Leans forward. Raises eyebrows* Oh. I've found another for my collection. *Plucks James from pages. Adds to "heroes I want to lick" shelf.* I've enjoyed Phoebe's parts in the books prior to this and her book was not at all disappointing.I also l enjoyed the image of Trevillion just moments behind each Ghost. He's a clever and a tenacious one. Apparently he's also the strong, silent, steady type. It doesn't hurt, nope, in fact it helps, that he appears to ride horses like some kind of warrior from Rohan. I can't tell you I've ever drooled about superhuman horse-riding skills, but somehow Elizabeth Hoyt made me do it. I don't really have a heroes I want to lick shelf, I have the boringly named 'book boyfriends' but I really need to up my naming convention there. Some of these new heroes, it just doesn't suit. (Delicious heroes?) I felt she was careful in the characters, they were wildly consistent. A wonderfully, superbly, satisfying read. (I enjoyed Cornwall too! It suits them. Lovely.) oh dear sweet bunny rabbits when he watched her fall three times. My heart. I'm about to get real weird, so I'm going to just push save on this baby and go off to read [b:Down by Contact|33637825|Down by Contact (The Barons, #2)|Santino Hassell|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1498479591l/33637825._SX50_SY75_.jpg|54486273] In other words, I'll be up till 2 finishing that tonight. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
