Romance The first 2/3 - 3/4 or so of this book follow the exact timeline from the last book. If these two characters had hardly been in the first book and there was quite a bit of mystery about them, then maybe you could get away with covering the exact same timeline, but these two were nearly as involved as the main couple in the last book! Of course we get a few scenes of this couple alone together that we could only guess at in the first book (though, I think nearly everyone had pretty good guesses as to those scenes, *two people come out of a room flushed and the man is missing his cravat* gee, whatever could they have been up to???). But all the other scenes that took place anywhere near the couple from the first book (which, again, were considerable!) were just transplanted into this one. A few inner thoughts were sprinkled in, but as much or more dialogue and descriptions were just straight up copied and pasted from the last book. On top of that, the couple didn't really seem that in love. They had some passion, but both seemed like they were having to be coaxed into the relationship till only the last few chapters! And the heroine really embraced the 'too stupid to live' mentality toward the end. Repeatedly. I chuckled at some parts, but overall the story, (especially having read the first book which covered so much of this story already), was shallow and dissatisfying. I was astounded at how bad this book was. I suppose if I hadn't read the Countess (Book#1) recently, maybe it would have been helpful. Most of the book is a re-telling of the SAME story that is told in the Countess, but from a different perspective. And frankly, not told well. I was bored but I kept flipping through to get to bits I didn't know from the first book, and eventually we got to some. I'm sad that I can't recommend this book. I like Lynsay Sands very much, usually (I'm a fan of her Vampire Romance books) and I have to say I started to even wonder if she wrote this one herself. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Whether she's enthralling readers with the exploits of her Argeneau vampire family, transporting fans to the Scottish Highlands, or enchanting them with love affairs of the noble lords and ladies of the Regency ton, New York Times and USA Today bestseller Lynsay Sands knows how to pen a winner! The Heiressâ??the second book in the very sexy, very funny Regency romance series she began with The Countessâ??is further proof of Sands's historical romance mastery. The winning tale of an alluring beauty desperately seeking a poor husband, The Heiress is exactly the kind of sharp and witty read that fans of Julie Garwood and Teresa Medeirosâ??not to mention Lynsay's own army of aficionadosâ??are lo Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
