Anne Sinclair is in love with another man who is about to offer for her when she is ruined by Lord Ruan Bettancourt, the Duke of Cynssyr. It was a mistake due to her having taken laudanum for a sprained ankle and him showing up to find her in his bed, mistaking her for a 'gift'. They must marry, for once to save his reputation as he basically forced her; because she's poor, no one seems to care about her future. Things don't look good for their marriage, but Anne is intelligent and Ruan needs her help to find a group of men who are kidnapping and abusing young women. I like Ms. Jewel's writing. She writes steamy romances with interesting characters. Anne is sensible, determined not to fall in thrall to her new husband who is arrogant and earned the title of 'Lord Ruin'. I had some trouble with Ruan. There's an attempt to explain why his character is so bad as a result of the Napoleonic wars, but it didn't really work. It aggravated me that he was supposed to be in love with Anne and wooing her, but still hanging with several of his former mistresses. I really didn't like the scene where Anne pretty much caves to him even though he's asking his former mistress to take him back. It seems he still has quite a way to go to rehabilitate his character. I'm willing to give him a chance and hope he'll do better in the next two books. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Gehört zur ReiheSinclair Sisters [Jewel] (book 1)
Fiction.
Romance.
HTML: He hunted for beauty. He wasn't prepared for love. There's a reason Ruan Bettancourt, the Duke of Cynssyr, has obtained the nickname Lord Ruin. In London for the season, his plan is to marry the most beautiful debutante on the marriage mart, and he always gets what he wants. Spinster Anne Sinclair is sensible, strong, and overlooked. On a night in which she vowed to protect her sister from the infamous Lord Ruin, she never expected to end up in bed with him. Forced into a marriage neither of them wanted, Anne and the Duke believe they have no hope of passion or love for the rest of their lives. When the rogue falls completely for his tall, bespectacled wife, it's up to him to convince Anne to relinquish her heart. Lord Ruin is the first book in the Sinclair Sisters saga, a series of Regency historical romance novels. If you like captivating, naughty, angst-ridden heroes and intelligent, complex, spine-steeled heroines, then you'll love Carolyn Jewel's steamy series. .Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
