The second Rokesby/Bridgerton prequel didn’t have quite the same spark to it that the first did. I still enjoyed the book immensely and loved learning more about Edward and meeting Cecilia. I think what stopped this book from being a 5 star read for me was the amount of deception between the characters. It felt like every single character mentioned in this book was a liar and yet they often spoke about honour and being honest. Just felt like a whole lot of Pinocchio to me 🤥 Putting that aside it was an enjoyable story, just not enough to be a five star read. I still look forward to the rest of the series though.

Tohle mě tak moc bavilo!
Cecilie byla skvělá, i když jsem na ni v hlavě stále křičela, ať už mu to tajemství prozradí.
Nastoupit na loď přes Atlantik, i když nevíte, co přesně čeká na druhé straně, chce odvahu a kuráž. Cecilie se s ničím nemaže, je pohotová, chytrá a já jsem si ji moc oblíbila.
Ani kapitán Edward Rokesby ale nezůstává pozadu. Čestný muž, který si po probuzení v nemocnici nepamatuje pár měsíců, a tak snadno uvěří, že se oženil se sestrou nejlepšího kamaráda.
Mezi Edwardem a Cecilií to prostě a jednoduše fungovalo od začátku až do konce. Zatím tuhle sérii mohu s klidem doporučit a těším se na zbylé dva díly.

Julia Quinn est pour moi une auteur très inégale, et j'ai remarqué que soit ses livres me plaisent vraiment beaucoup, soit je m'ennuie royalement et je lutte pour ne pas abandonner.
Hélas pour ce tome, cela a été l'option numéro 2.
L'histoire d'Edward et Cecilia est certes touchante, et le cadre de la ville de New York en pleine guerre dépaysant, mais cela n'a pas suffi à me faire passer un bon moment. Ce roman est pour moi truffé de longueurs, on tourne sans cesse en rond, et la romance ne m'a pas transportée.
Un loupé donc, je verrai si je tente malgré tout le tome suivant.

Solid 3 stars. Entertaining and romantic and a little spicy (open
door 3-3.5 /5 heat). I like the amnesia trope but it dragged out too long. Also too long to get to the real “conflict” in the story and then it was a matter of stop being stupid and petty and just ask a question and talk it out or confess already. Wouldn’t have made for as dramatic ending with a big romantic gesture I suppose. Story just dragged a bit, so it took me quite a while to finish.
