Este debe ser el primer libro que leo de esta autora y entiendo el amor que le tiene la gente, porque escribe muy bien y sabe cómo engancharte. Sin dudas la seguiré leyendo. Pero esta historia... agg.

Para empezar el romance me pareció nulo, sentí que la relación de los protagonistas se basaba en sexo. Cada vez que estaban juntos, cogían. No importaba donde estuvieran. Y si bien había algunas demostraciones de cariño, siento que se quedaron cortas, parecía que me estaban dando un resumen en lugar de mostrármelas.

Además, ¡eran demasiadas! El tipo parecía un animal en celo, cada vez que la veía, se le paraba. No tenía reparos en coger donde sea
en un carruaje, en un teatro, unos días después de que ella tuviera un aborto espontáneo, etc.


 Hubo otras cosas que me molestaron, pero lo dejo acá. Para ser justa, debo decir que el libro es muy entretenido y que el personaje de Amanda me gustó mucho. Sentí que siempre, en toda su vida, puso por encima de todo su felicidad y su bienestar. Además, formó su propia carrera y vivía de lo que le gustaba.
También me encantan los libros de romance histórico con mujeres más grandes que su pareja masculina
.

 
Si les gusta el romance histórico y el erotismo, vale la pena darle una oportunidad.

Don’t get me or how many stars i gave wrong, this was entertaining enough and i loved how smooth the hero was. I also did not dislike the heroine or anything like that. It’s just that I went into this with very high expectations and it was just— average. It’s a good enough romance to read when you’re bored. It’s also the first romance i listened to instead of sitting down to read it so that was a new experience.

I am not a 5 Star giver for the most part, but there is just something about this book that pulls me back time and time again. The main characters are very well-written and the story is so easy to get engrossed in, at least for me.
