This book is fun! I cannot believe that miss Julia had me rooting for the British during the American Revolutionary War. Overall fun read as per usual.

This book was SO much better than the last one. It was also the first JQ book I've read with a completely different setting. It reminded me a bit of 'It's In His Kiss', with the mystery and secrets. Cecilia is such a great main character and I really adored her. Tbh not a fan of the title, I feel like it doesn't convey what the book really is. Also, I liked the epilogue, honestly I was really hoping it would be what it was, but it was too short and not enough of it was actually about Cecilia and Edward. I don't expect they will be in the next book but I expect to see a lot of them in the last one!

I like the writing style of Julia Quinn, but I don’t always like her characters. This was the case with Cecilia. She was hard to like, with all the lies she told. Edward forgave her way too easily, but that was completely in character for him, so…

Totally predictable, but cute and swoony. Pure popcorn, you can never go wrong with Julia Quinn :)

Oh como adoré leer este libro!! Realmente Julia Quinn mejora con cada libro que leo.

Algo que me gustó bastante fue la trama, lo original que se sintió. El porqué Cecilia fue de Derbyshire a Nueva York, su búsqueda de su hermano (lloré mucho en estas partes), y porqué empezó a fingir ser esposa de Edward. Entendía el porqué no le decía a él su plan, aunque se lo gritaba cada vez que podía.
Igual, como nadie se cuestionó que Cecilia era su esposa no sé pero tenían algo más importante de que preocuparse (la guerra).

Adoré que se hayan escrito cartas de antes de que pasaran los sucesos del libro. Una forma de mostrarnos que realmente se estaban enamorado mucho antes de que Cecilia llegara. Además que Edward enamorado releyendo las cartas y viendo la pinturita que Thomas tenía de su hermana? 10/10.

Edward es un gran personaje, creo que la forma que se va intentando acordar de todo es genial. Como un olor, una sensación o una conversación hacían que le volviera un poco su memoria. Su relación con Cecilia me la creí al 100%. Se sentían como amigos, amantes y esposos. Y me rompía el corazón cada vez que Cecilia decía "Que esto no iba a durar".

Podía haber sido un 5⭐️, pero Julia Quinn me hizo enamorarme de un oficial del ejercito británico (nunca te lo perdonaré).
