This book had a historical beauty and the beast theme. Hero is scarred and convinced he looks like a monster. Heroine is there to pay off her sister's gambling debts..with her body. I felt like this book had a lot of potential, but it didn't follow through. The heroine's sister was annoying. I di...
I really didn't expect to like this book as much as I did. I usually like my romances with a touch of paranormal, however with this story I was pleasnatly surprised. I love the fact that Sidonie's love interest was not perfect looking or rakishly charming. I loved the fact that Sidonie herself...
I did not enjoy listening to this book. First of all, I didn't care for the narrator, Antony Ferguson, whose reading style was so slow, and so full of long pauses, that I listened to most of the book with the speed at 1.25. Second, the first 50%+ of the book seemed to be nothing but long, detaile...
Lady Antonia Hilliard has a past that haunts and colors her future. Nicholas Challoner, Marquess of Ranelaw has a past he wants to avenge. When their goals and missions collide there are fireworks, and two people who think they can't be together start to forge a future.I enjoyed this book. It's i...
Yazardaki sihri bir türlü çözemiyorum. Konu basit hatta çoğu kez yüzlerce sayfa da pek bir olay olmuyor ama nedense hızla akıp gidiyor. Özellikle Nicholas'ın ağzından anlattığı yerler çok güzeldi. Hat safhada cinsellik olsa da içimi yumuşatan bir tarzı var yazarın. Diyalogları, küçük nüans ve dok...
This is a very romantic book with a slight difference in that the main male character, Gideon, is not "perfect". Usually the male or female lead are the epitome of perfection, however, due to the horrible happenings in Rangapindhi, he suffered physical damage. Nice to see that you don't have to...
Anna Campbell can flat out write! I loved the flaws! Julian was an irredeemable cad. He came to purchase the most notorious mistress in London. Oh, and hang around for his daughter's wedding. He lost the love of his life and abandoned his children at a very young age. And never looked back. Now h...
This book was just ok. I love Anna Campbell's writing and Claiming the courtesan is one of my most favourite books. But Tempt the devil just didn't do it for me. I really liked Olivia but didn't like Erith at all. I thought he was too old to do whatever he did. I mean, this 'being a jerk and then...
Life is a complicated thing, and in this book, Anna Campbell makes sure that even her villains are appropriately complicated. But not, of course, as complicated as the hero.The heroine initially seems a rather simple creature - until she starts to make her way through the maze of her husband's o...
My first Campbell novel… and it won’t be my last! Wow, this book blew me away. I was expecting a sweet historical romance; instead I got a sexy, multifaceted love story between an unconventional couple- a lord and a courtesan. Not only was the story set largely in the bedroom, but it was also mor...
Superb Regency romance......Anna Campbell is the ultimate historical romance author and I have never read a book written by her that didn't take my breath away. I love the aristocratic debauched rake who is drop dead gorgeous and never gives his heart away UNTIL a certain lady enters his life and...
This was well written, which is the only reason why I finished it. I did not like the heroine at all. She whores herself for an estate. She plans to get pregnant against the hero's wishes, then hide the pregnancy from him, in effect, stealing his child. For a house. If the heroine's motivation ha...
Pathetic, self-pitying martyr, and to add insult, the type of woman who thinks she knows better than everyone else, is completely blind to the hero showing her that he loves her because goddamn it he never says it and she LOOOOOVES him so unbelievably much. That's the main romance. The secondary ...
(Nov) 3.5* I started off liking this quite a bit, but as the book progressed, I found myself more and more annoyed by Pen (and her name - call her Penny or Penelope - but Pen just grated on my nerves). Cam's mother slept with both his father and his father's brother, and no one in the Ton knows f...
What is not to like about a story that revolves around two unlikely people getting locked in a closet overnight? I am a sucker for an 'accidental' shotgun wedding where the H/h are caught in a compromising position and are yet blameless [on this occasion]. It was fun. There were some gloriously b...
