Sadly for me, this wasn't juice pumping stuff sigh. There was nothing I could actually put my finger on that made me so disconnected here I just was. From Duke Till Dawn is essentially a second chance love affair featuring a duke and a con artist at its centre. So the Duke of Grayland and Miss Cassandra Blake have a moment: at least on his part. Stepping back into there lives neither quite forgot the other: both still carrying a lit torch. but with lies and deceit standing in there path blocking the way to true happiness it really does seem hopeless. So when a chance encounters at a later date brings these two together again Cassandras lies topple over like a pack of cards revealing the utter deception beneath. Not exactly impressed at being her patsy the Duke is determined to enact his pound of flesh. But when Cassandras business partner does a runner leaving her in the lurch there's only one man she can turn to for help. So yeh this was very instalove and a trifle monotonous in places. This story had its moments but I essentially found it hard initially to warm to either character. The Duke seemed to have a bit of a superiority problem and also seemed trifle clueless and unforgiving of what Cassandra had done ultimately for survival. Did find this a bit harsh myself. Cassandra well I just wasn't feeling her and I'm not really sure why that was. Look: if you like a sweet love story that is equal parts suspense and romance then this will more than likely appeal to you. Myself I prefer something a tad grittier. So this was well written despite my slight disconnect and I can definitely recommend this on that particular front. Just a shame this ultimately wasn't my particular brand of Bovril. I voluntary reviewed an Arc of From Duke Till Dawn (The London Underground, #1) All opinions expressed here are entirely my own.

"Years ago, the Duke of Greyland gave his heart--and a princely sum of money--to a charming, destitute widow with unparalleled beauty. But after one passionate night, she slipped from his bed and vanished without a trace. And just when he's given up hope of ever seeing her again, Greyland finds her managing a gaming hell. He's desperate to have her... until he discovers everything about his long-lost lover was a lie. In truth, Cassandra Blake grew up on the streets, picking pockets to survive. Greyland was a mark--to be fleeced and forgotten--but her feelings for the duke became all too real. Once he learns of her deception, however, the heat in his eyes turns to ice. When her business partner absconds with the gaming hell proceeds--leaving unsavory investors out for blood--Cassandra must beg the man she betrayed for help. Greyland wants compensation, too, and he'll assist her under one condition: she doesn't leave his sight until her debts are paid. But it's not long before the real Cassandra--the smart, streetwise criminal--is stealing his heart all over again" -- provided by publisher. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
