Avis de Callixta
Tina Gabrielle n’est pas une auteure de premier plan ni une révolutionnaire de l’écriture. Juriste de formation, elle s’est lancée dans une série qui se déroule dans le milieu des avocats au dix-neuvième siècle en Angleterre et ce contexte original contribue à apporter un petit plus à son histoire très traditionnelle par ailleurs. Ce roman est le second de la série, elle-même centrée autour de quatre amis qui ont chacun leur spécialité dans...more

James Devlin was raised to believe he was a bastard child; the product of the affair of his titled father and his chambermaid mother. Although he was a bastard, he was given the opportunity to receive a good education and he used that education to become a barrister. He earned his own living so he would never need to depend on his unwanted family ever. James can’t determine what is more shocking; that his disapproving grandmother comes calling, that she advise James of his father’s passing or th...more

Very readable and enjoyable with a sexy, rogue of a barrister that finds himself elevated to the position of Duke. He purchases a former home of his father's and arrives at midnight to find a genteel but luscious looking widow in residence who claims she purchased the house as well! Great scenes between the two, the growing romance was well paced. The subsequent sub-plots did not hold my attention as much as this couple did. I certainly recommend~
I really enjoyed this book. I never once got bored with it. Both lead characters were very likeable. The hero is James, who has dark hair, blue eyes and is thirty-three years old. There was instant attraction when he met the heroine, widowed twenty-four year old Bella. She has auburn hair and green eyes. She was in a bad marriage to an older, abusive man for seven years and was very unhappy…..until James came along.
I liked the mystery that was going on in the story. Was someone out to get Bella,...more
Fun read. I have questions about the historical accuracy of confidential drug treatment facilities in the Regency period, but okay. I'll work with it.
I really enjoyed the intrigue of Brent and look forward to his story.
I really enjoyed the intrigue of Brent and look forward to his story.
I love a good court room drama and a good Barrister makes it all the more riveting. A recommended enjoyable read.
Witty banter, sexual tension, beautifully romantic scenes, great characters. A great read.
Great book.
