Acerca de este título
Once upon a time, in a more carefree life, I met a man. Our gazes connected over the top of his newspaper as he watched me suffer through the most embarrassing moment of my life. Older, sophisticated, and so very hot, he saved me from that awkward encounter, then tried to send me away with a pat on my head. But I wasn’t going anywhere—and the rest, as the saying goes, is history...passionate, heart-stopping, the night-of-my-life kind of history. There was just one tiny problem: I lied to him.
I told him I was a tourist and only in town for one night. So he wasn’t too impressed when I turned up again...in his Scottish castle—yes, his freakin’ castle—with his killer suit traded for a kilt and his seductive smile for a frown. When he glowers my way, I don’t know if I should be worried or turned on—because the Duke of Dalforth has secrets he’s not sharing...and a brother who’d like nothing more than to cut in on him.
When I do the wrong thing for the right reason, I have to believe it’ll work out in the end...because the duke is No Ordinary Gentleman and I’m just a normal girl, fighting not to fall in love with him.
©2021 Donna Alam (P)2023 Dreamscape Media, LLCI didn't mind the elaborate set up for them to met again but when you put it in context with the rest of the book it's just a ridiculous sense of pace. Especially when at the end you have sort of a third act challenge for the couple to overcome and it just ends abruptly, relying on the epilogue to conclude it backwards.
Another thing is the characterization of FMC. I don't think even the author knows her motivations for anythig really, but it's really a mess the reasons she "follows" to not be together with the MMC. And that is even before the stupidest of the stupid plans I've seen in a book of this kind she comes up with for... Reasons. <spoiler>One of her prime motivations seems to be (even though as I said is very inconsistent) that she is afraid of what might peoaple say because of her past, and that is one of the deciding factors on not being with the MMC, mind you after everyone saw them interact and are very cool about it, so you start a fake relationship with HIS BROTHER that everyone hates. Sure queen, go off I gess</spoiler>
Not that it makes any difference, because no one believes it and has not real impact on the plot or the relationships, it doesn't add anything to the situation <spoiler>that she is leaving and doesn't want to start something.
</spoiler>
And for the final touch, I really really hated the constant dig at other forms of relationships, like open or polyamory as if exists because you don't really love the other person. And of course someone who participates in that is ether evil or reformed by the "right person". Disgusting.
Not even the exceptional narrators saved this one
