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.

I didn’t enjoy this one quite as much as the first story. But it was still so good!

Enjoyed this one. Surprised that it did make me cry. Lighthearted for a wartime historical romance but still got me.
