The Good Stuff
Got sick of historical romances a little while ago, so I was at first hesitant at picking this one up. However, I am glad I did, this one was quite sweet
Not at all shmaltzy or mushy
Amanda actually behaves like someone of her time and station would (with a little extra fire of course)
Devin sounds totally delicious and I might have had a few little fantasies about him -- hey I've been married for 19 years, a girl has to have a little fun you know
Quite a bit of humour for a historical romance, which was a nice surprise
I actually really liked the character of Amanda, she would be someone I would have liked to hang out with during this time period
Good chemistry between Devin and Amanda -- lots of steamy looks and fiery dialogue
Also really enjoyed the relationship between Amanda and her father."
Perfect beach read
Must read the book about Rafe and Ophelia -- it sounds like it was a hell of a story
The Not So Good Stuff
Things tied up a little too quickly - felt a little rushed at the end
Storyline drags a little bit at the beginning
Love scenes were very brief and not a lot of them
Favorite Quotes/Passages
"Devin shrugged. "Can't deny it's amusing, but it's not something I set out to do. It just fell in my lap. But there's no luck about it, it's simple animal magnetism that makes for a great match. A man and a women have got to want to rut, but after the rutting, they've got to have something in common or their happily ever after falls apart."
"Devin laughed. "You're his baby sister. He's not going to discuss desire with you."
"He swore to himself that night that he'd never cry again ... or love anyone again. It hurt too much."
Who Should/Shouldn't Read
Fans of Lindsey's previous works will obviously enjoy
Perfect for anyone wanting to escape with some romance while at the beach
Also it you like historical romance, this is obviously perfect for you
