L'ho ascoltato in un audiolibro e, devo dire, che mi è piaciuto: ha i classici elementi del romance storico (lei zittella, ai margini della società. Lui scapolo incallito, con la nomea di libertino), però sono usati in maniera veramente carina e diversa dal solito.
Callie è una mina vagante (e un attentato alla vita per Gabriel).
Gabriel... giuro, la prima parola che mi viene in mente pensando a lui è vittima delle circostanze.
Comunque una lettura (o un ascolto, come nel mio caso) veramente piacevole e che mi ha saputo intrattenere sia con le parti classiche che con le parti spicy, facendomi anche ridere!

- something that I love about Sarah MacLean's writing is that the whole cast of characters is so interesting, and that was very present here! It's even more impressive when the MCs stand out so much while surrounded by such strong side characters.
- I loved this version of wallflower x rake! It can get a little repetitive, but this felt a bit fresher than some of the other versions I've read.
- Sarah MacLean can write spice so well, and this is no exception 👀

Really liked the heroine of this book. She was very entertaining and endearing. The hero was interesting but a touch generic. Could have used a little more plot and a little less steamy romance.

I am in an abusive relatioship with Sarah McLean books. I despise them, but I cannot stop reading. And I'm thoroughly miserable when I do so, but I cannot seem to stop. Anyway this book was baaadddd.
It's funny that Callie had like excellent arguments why she should not date her love interest
-she cannot "change" someone.
-her fantasy she created of him was not real
-he did not love her and never would.
-he only used her.
All excellent arguments. Something that women in real life could also use. It was all shaping up to be a story you could learn from. But at the end, they ignore it all and are happy ever after??? Like I'm for real. She had all this valid arguments and she just ignores them??? And Ralston suddenly loves her? Ok.
Anyway I loved the ending. Not the love professions only the duel.
