About book Intimer Betrug: Historischer Liebesroman (German Edition) (2013)
I'm reading this book for the second time in less than 6 months.....this must mean I love it, right?! I do! The book is extremely well written, the plot is interesting and moves at a nice pace, the characters well developed and relatable. The romance between Vincent and Grace is very sweet and touching.Poor Vincent's fear of losing yet another wife and babe in childbirth is palpable. Grace is determined, smart, loyal, loving, and selfless to the extreme. She is also wracked with guilt at having trapped Vincent in marriage even though the choice to have him take her virginity was not hers. The story is chock full of excitement with murder attempts, revenge, and jealousy.The only thing this book needed to make it absolutely perfect, IMHO, is an epilogue. In light of Vincent's fear of losing Grace in childbirth and his determination not to impregnate her again, it would have been so wonderful to see them ten or fifteen years down the road, still happily married with several happy, healthy children.Vincent has lost two wives in childbirth along with his stillborn sons. He now only has sexual encounters with women who work with Miss Genevieve. Miss Genevieve's real name is Hannah, and she is a childhood friend of Grace's. When Grace needs to rid herself of her virginity, to avoid marriage to the despicable, perverted Lord Fenington, she goes to Hannah for help. Hannah pairs Grace with Vincent, the Duke of Raeborn to get the deed done, without Vincent's knowledge.Unfortunately, Vincent realizes Grace is a virgin and tracks her down. When he discovers that Grace is a lady he insists on doing the "right thing" if she is indeed with child. From the very beginning there is an instant connection between Vincent and Grace. Vincent's devotion to protecting Grace is very touching as is her determination to be a good wife to him. Vincent makes a vow that if Grace delivers safely of the baby he will never touch her again, but of course, Grace has no intention of making such a vow easy for him to keep. LOLIf you like regency set romance books with more to the plot than just the romance, then this book is one you would definitely want to read. FYI, this is not a clean romance. Nevertheless, don't let the book blurb mislead you. Despite the fact that Vincent and Grace's relationship begin with sex, this is not a book that is bogged down with gratuitous love scenes. Happy reading! I began reading the sample on kindle's daily deal and could not stop reading. Amazingly well written easy to fall into and don't stop till finished book. I finished the book in about 3 1/2 hours which even for me is a record. The characters come off the page alive welcoming you into their world. As with all things it was not completely perfect. The evil villain I had some problems with but not enough to ruin a moment of my enjoyment.
