( ) All the trigger warnings needed here, and I’m sort of weirded out that I have to give them for a Balogh book. There’s sexual assault (past but described), stalking, and suicide. And the creepiest villains ever (shudder). I’m glad that Luke found his heart again with Anna and all that, but there’s no way I’m reading this again. I hope Emily’s story doesn’t freak me out as much, and I love that Balogh has grown so much in her writing since 1995. Mary Balogh is a favorite Regency author, but shades of Georgette Heyer, I found this older book set in Georgian England. It's also somewhat Gothic with an evil villain obsessed with the heroine. Lucas Kendrick becomes Duke of Harndon after being ousted from his family. Now he must return to resolve the tangled relationships he left behind. One of his first duties is to find a wife and beget some heirs. His relatives are pushing him toward Lady Anna Marlowe, and much to his surprise, Lucas finds himself willing to acquiesce. Of course, Anna is not what she appears and has dark secrets in her past. Lucas realizes that there is more to the lady than he first thought. He also finds he must revise his opinions of others in his family. It's a lovely story and well-written, a bit different from Balogh's Regency style but fitting perfectly into the Georgian era. I do love patches and wigs, and Balogh makes ample use of these accouterments of that time. Lucas is one of those heroes that calls for more books; I'd love to see him and Anna dealing with their offspring in the Regency era. Hint, hint. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

La vida le ha enseñado a Lucas Kendrick, duque de Harndon, que tener corazón es sin duda una carga. Traicionado por su hermano mayor, abandonado por su novia, desterrado por su padre y rechazado por su madre, Lucas hyuó a París, donde se convertió en un soltero codiciado. Diez años más tarde, el destino le obliga a volver a Inglaterra, a la casa que una vez lo rechasó. Ahora debe asumir la responsabilidad de sus hermanos menores, la situación familiar y la sucesión. Demasiados retos por delante, por lo que una esposa sería de gran apoyo, y él ya ha elegido a una hermosa joven que ha conocido en un salón de baile, Lady anna Marlowe. Anna, lejos de ser tan inocente como aparece ante los ojos de Lucas, esconde un pasado lleno de sombras. Para ella, el matrimonio puede ser una salida para huir de lo que le atormenta; aunque no será nada fácil, los enemigos les acechan y los retos serán complicados... Ha llegado el momento de que Luke y Anna aprendan a confiar el uno en el otro si quieren tener una oportunidad de futuro. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
