Sometimes you just need a bridgerton-universe read ya know
Tolerable I suppose, but... Cecilia was terrible. It would have been better if they had waited to consummate their fake marriage AFTER he had regained his memories. If this was gender swapped, people would be rioting. (A man pretending to be the husband of an injured, unstable woman in order to use her connections, sleeps with her, and then ditches after making sure she's not pregnant because "that's the right thing to do for her." )
The double standard pisses me off!!!

call me old fashioned but i do like it when the protagonists in a romance novel actually act like they like each other
96/2021 Segundo libro de los Rokesby y seguramente el último que leo, gracias, Julia Quinn, por escribir este rollo y sacarme de este bucle de un género que se ha llevado un mes de mi vida.
La joven Cecilia se inventa que se ha casado por poderes con el mejor amigo (inconsciente) de su hermano, y a partir de ahí pues debería haber habido mucho enredo pero no lo ha habido, mucho rollo, mucho relleno absurdo y un plan de escenas guarrindongas.
La historia es una pamplina y me he aburrido, que es lo que me suele pasar con estas novelas, salvo mis Bridgerton que me arrollaron felizmente.
No voy a leer los dos que quedan de la saga.

Sehr interessantes Setting! Mochte das sehr und fand es schön erfrischend!
Und ja, die Reihe ist sittsamer als Bridgerton.

It was a quintessential Julia Quinn. I quite enjoyed it. It was lighthearted, but still managed to have depth. I really enjoyed it.
2,5*
Embora mais fraco que o anterior, é de leitura rápida.
A protagonista Cecilia irritou-me imenso em boa parte do livro.
Não sendo original, é uma leitura boa para intervalar os trillers e policiais que costumo ler :)

Halfway through the book, I was just annoyed with Cecilia. I had empathy, then gone.
DNF at 187. I can't with this the lying is too childish. Stopping now because this ridiculousness of forcing an allergic reaction to avoid going to a ball in the middle of a bloody war your about to lose because you're too chicken to own up to a dumb mistake is insane. I'm not wasting my time anymore with this heroine, much as I like Quinn generally.
