What I didn't like
-The book was too long, it was too long even if it was two books
-The hero: he was set up and the heroine, new bride, found him with a half naked woman who tolde her she had a child with him and she was his mistress for years.
She left him and he, instead of winnig her back, went to Canada for 7 years. Olè! What a great love.
He only came back because he inherited the Earldom
He exploited her amnesia and lived with her as husband and wife.
He kept saying he's only loved her but he was with many women while apart. Again, I can't do without this kind of love.
-Didn't understand who was the villain while we readers understood at page 2.
-The heroine:
Kept her daughter a secret from his father
Divorced the hero because he was unfaithful (in the 1814 I don't think it was possible to get a divorce because the husband had a mistress, they all would be divorced)
Didn't understand who was the villain.
-The sex: so sad. A chore.
What I did like:
-The villain. He was a superstar. And the reason I gave 3 stars instead of 2 stars. He was perfect and I was a little crazy for him! Imagine a teenager of only 18 deceiving all around him with such a precision and cruelty for years. He was the perfect psychopath, without empaty, no feelings for anyone, cheating and unable to love. He was obsessed with the heroine but of course he couldn't love her. And all the time he was a smiling and sweet creature. The perfect manipulator. Cruel as no other. And so smart. We have an intelligent man at last. How I loved him! I was so sorry he was killed.
And then, the pearl of wisdom:
"We have both learned that people don't live happily ever after once the wedding cerimony is over."
How to destroy a romantic book with a sentence.
