While there's nothing to particularly dislike about our main couple and this story, it was pretty paint by numbers for the first half and then the second half was just a bit more Absurd Villain Subplot than I could suspend my disbelief for. I suppose it just didn't have the right hook for me. I feel there are plenty of historical romances out there that do this type of story better so this particular one is not recommended. ( ) Nicely done. Much plot and character development with many twists and turns; a treat when the story moves forward of its own momentum rather than wanting to bop the characters over the head by propelling the novel with their stupidity and stubbornness. A bit much was made of Annabelle's beauty, possibly to counter Jane later on who wants no less out of a relationship than Annabelle, and is still a quite attractive woman (shallowness of judging someone by appearance?) Well done villain, whose choice of victim (in most cases) has already made themselves a victim before falling prey to his devious manipulation. Also an interesting study of family and expectations, and the lengths people go to "protect" the ones they love out of what is really driven by their own emotions and interests. Value of fickle social approval. I liked this book much more than I anticipated I would. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: When Lord Alec Carstairs returns from the Peninsular Wars, hailed as a hero in the midst of the London Season, only Annabelle Layton knows the sort of man that he really is, that the honor everyone praises is illusory. They'd been close friends once, before a passionate kiss changed everything. But if she'd secretly loved him, those feelings had died one bright summer morning, when a reckless wager left Annabelle with terrifying injuries. Alec had abandoned her without a backwards glance. Hardly the actions of a hero. But Alec has never forgotten her, despite his vow to stay away. There is more to that long-ago day than Annabelle knows, and shocking lies have distorted the past. Can he uncover its painful truths, and still keep his distance from the stunning beauty? Can he deny his forbidden desire, even as it flares again between them, hotter than ever?
