Lädt ... The Saint and the Sinnervon Barbara Cartland
   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  Karen74Leigh | Mar 12, 2023 |   Poor Pandora is a complete Mary Sue. A wide-eyed orphan with so much family loyalty it is pouring out her young, innocent ears. Enter the dashing bad-boy cousin, the Earl. He has a chip on his shoulder about his family inheritance as deep as the ocean. Poor little rich boy! Pandora drops into his lap and shows him the error of his ways, and they live happily ever after. Barbara almost made me snap with the weird phrasing and dialogue for Pandora. She - kept talking - like this. Was she - slow - in the - head? Did she - have a terrible - stutter? Unsure what the deal was, but I nearly threw the book down in frustrating a few times. At least it was a quick read. (  ) GovMarley | Aug 6, 2017 | Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

'Perfect ' she thinks. But arriving at the awesome Chart Hall she is appalled by the outrageous goings on.

"I have not had a chance to tell you," began Pandora's uncle, "that Prosper Witheridge asked me yesterday if he could pay his addresses to Pandora."
"You mean to say he wishes to marry her?" asked the Bishop's wife. "She should be grateful, deeply grateful, that a good man should wish to make her his wife."
Pandora suddenly realised that she had been holding her breath for so long that she was now gasping for air.
Prosper Witheridge! Was it possible for one moment to entertain the idea of him as a husband? (
