Lädt ... A Scot in the Darkvon Sarah MacLean
   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.   ) mimji | Apr 20, 2024 |   ) msmattoon | Aug 24, 2023 | 4 Stars Another wonderful romance from Sarah MacLean. Lily and Alec are very appealing despite (or perhaps due to) their flaws. Alec is domineering and overbearing, and Lily is stubborn and willful. Nevertheless, their love/hate banter is witty and their chemistry is off the charts. Moreover, the fact that they are two such lonely souls amongst the spoiled and selfish members of the ton makes their coming together all the sweeter. The conflict revolving around the painting is compelling and it is very satisfying that Lily plays a significant role in resolving the dilemma as it is always annoying when an independent heroine is relegated to being rescued. The fact that the obnoxious Derek gets his just desserts is also very gratifying. A couple of minor problems include: 1) the incongruity of Lily's incredible beauty and the fact that she is more or less invisible to those around her, and 2) that fact that Lily and Alec spend far to much time pushing each other away. The whole "I'm not good enough for you" trope gets old after a while. Sera and Malcom's story is next, and it will be very interesting to see how MacLean can rehabilitate this particular hero considering his actions in the first book.

HTML: Lonesome Lily turned Scandalous Siren Miss Lillian Hargrove has lived much of her life alone in a gilded cage, longing for love and companionship. When an artist offers her pretty promises and begs her to pose for a scandalous portrait, Lily doesn't hesitate . . . until the lying libertine leaves her in disgrace. With the painting now public, Lily has no choice but to turn to the one man who might save her from ruin. Highland Devil turned Halfhearted Duke The Duke of Warnick loathes all things English, none more so than the aristocracy. It does not matter that the imposing Scotsman has inherited one of the most venerable dukedoms in Britainâ??he wants nothing to do with it, especially when he discovers that the unwanted title comes with a troublesome ward, one who is far too old and far too beautiful to be his problem. Tartan Comes to Town Warnick arrives in London with a single goal: get the chit married and see her become someone else's problem, then return to a normal, quiet life in Scotland. It's the perfect plan, until Lily declares she'll only marry for love . . . and the Scot finds that there is one thing in England he likes far too much . . .
