Still really enjoying this series, although it was a side of Amelia Allenby I wasn't expecting. I love that there's not only a consistent acceptance of lgbtq attractions, but there are pretty consistent mental health themes throughout as well. This one has steam engines, 2 weird dogs, a relationship based on insulting each other on chance met walks, and a small French terror of a girl with the wonderful name Leontine. Also a torrid correspondence making up lies about historical figures and arguing about them. So charming, extremely good fun with some tender and lovely main characters finding their way. ( ) This was an odd blend of too fast and too slow with barely enough of just right. I loved both Amelia and Sydney here, but there definitely wasn't enough backstory; even that which was slowly pieced out to the reader didn't cover enough for me. Amelia has basically a massive anxiety disorder, and I somehow missed where it came from as it didn't feel as though there was any inkling of it in the previous book and I'm still not sure how it was revealed here. Sydney has his own issues with never really accepting the death of his brother, and again I don't feel as though there was enough here for me to understand him properly. They were both actually lovely together; their very unconventional HEA was just right for them as were the tying up of those in their family circle too. I enjoyed this a lot but definitely feel as though I'm longing for more context and understanding of everything. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)
When Amelia Allenby escaped a stifling London ballroom for the quiet solitude of the Derbyshire countryside, the very last thing she wanted was an extremely large, if--she grudgingly admits--passably attractive man disturbing her daily walks. Lecturing the surveyor about property rights doesn't work and, somehow, he has soon charmed his way into lemon cakes, long walks, and dangerously heady kisses. The very last place Sydney wished to be was in the shadow of the ruins of Pelham Hall, the inherited property that stole everything from him. But as he awaits his old friend, the Duke of Hereford, he finds himself increasingly captivated by the maddeningly lovely and exceptionally odd Amelia. He quickly finds that keeping his ownership of Pelham Hall a secret is as impossible as keeping himself from falling in love with her. But when the Duke of Hereford arrives, Sydney's ruse is revealed and what started out as a delicate deception has become a love too powerful to ignore. Will they let a lifetime of hurt come between them or can these two lost souls find love and peace in each other? Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
