She had backbone and intelligence and compassion. And the hero was a nice mix of presenting his shell and getting to see past it into his soft core. =) The couple got in their own way in the relationship a little bit, but not too bad. And the mystery (unlike the last one) was pretty decent! I finished a book in 29 days. This book suited my mood and part of that was the characters handed you, via conversation or internal thoughts, everything on a silver platter. It wasn't challenging. It also wasn't particularly engaging. Time s I fell asleep reading this book was probably roughly 20, along with an avg pages read of 3. After reading these kinds of set ups that I love and being left a little cold, I think I might put Camp on my meh shelf and get on with my life. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML:New York Times bestselling author Candace Camp offers a delicious marriage-of-convenience story in this passionate historical romance, featuring her signature "clever and witty banter, sharp attention to detail, and utterly likable characters" (Publishers Weekly, starred review). James de Vere has always insisted on being perfectly pragmatic and rational in all things. It seemed the only way to deal with his overdramatic, greedy family. When he falls ill and no doctor in London can diagnose him, he returns home to Grace Hill in search of a physician who canâ??or to set his affairs in order. Arriving at the doctor's home, he's surprised to encounter the doctor's daughter Laura, a young woman he last saw when he was warning her off an attachment with his cousin Graeme. Alas, the doctor is recently deceased and Laura is closing up the estate, which must be sold off, leaving her penniless. At this, James has an inspiration: why not marry the damsel in distress? If his last hope for a cure is gone, at least he'll have some companionship in his final days, and she'll inherit his fortune instead of his grasping relatives, leaving her a wealthy widow with plenty of prospects. Laura is far from swept off her feet, but she's as pragmatic as James, so she accepts his unusual proposal. But as the two of them brave the onslaught of shocked and suspicious family members, they find themselves growing closer. They vowed, "until death do us part"...but now both are longing for their marriage to be more than momentary in this evocative romance, perfect for fans of Sabrina Jeffries and Mary Balo Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

It's a great story. Laura is an intelligent and likable heroine, while James is closed-off and acerbic. I very much enjoyed it as they try to solve the mystery of James's illness and the rest of the story. I was kept guessing until the end. The romance is an enemies-to-lovers trope which I don't usually like but this one worked. The additional characters kept the story interesting without taking up too much space in the main plot. ( )
