La proposta del duca

by Helen Dickson

Inghilterra - Scozia, 1817. Miss Juliet Lockwood non può dire di essere stata accolta in maniera calorosa da Lord Dominic, Duca di Hawksfield, ma poiché la necessità di un lavoro supera l'offesa decide di rimanere e di iniziare a catalogare i libri della fornitissima biblioteca di Landsdowne House. La tranquilla convivenza, tuttavia, non dura a lungo, perché Lord Dominic si invaghisce di lei e le propone di diventare la sua amante. Ancora una volta offesa e umiliata, Juliet decide di lasciare l'impiego. Pur sapendo che dimenticare il duca non sarà un'impresa da poco...

Lord Dominic Lansdowne may be considered a Rake with one of the worst reputations but Juliet can't let that stop her for going to work for him. Her brother is locked up because he can't pay his bills. It is up to her to help him get out of that horrible place.

Lord Dominic has never lowered himself to chasing after the help. He had plenty of other willing partners. But for some reason he just can't get Miss Lockwood out of his head. She isn't the type of woman that he can just have a fling with and walk away. He soon learns he doesn't want to ever walk away but Miss Lockwood needs some convincing before he declares anything.

Good read, I was caught up in the story and enjoyed the characters.

Storia a mio parere del tutto improbabile per il periodo in cui è ambientata (e forse non solo per quello), nonostante ci si possa sforzare di concedere molte “licenze poetiche”; dialoghi troppo moderni.

Bello, divertente e ben scritto. Un'ottima storia d'amore. Juliet è perfetta. Una donna indipendente e che sa cosa vuole.

Had a few errors, but I ended up reading all of it in a rainy afternoon.

A good story with strong characters, and a credible romance and setting. I really like that the heroine manages to say no with consequence!

This book was ok. I liked the characters and the story line but it didn't really hold my attention all that well. (Don't really know if it was the book or my mood...) Things seemed a little drawn out in the end and the back and forth was wearing thin. Most of the book was pretty good and the emotions came thru pretty good. This was written well with maybe a couple of spots that I had to read again to get it. I wouldn't have this book on my shelf, but I wouldn't mind reading it again if there wasn't anything else to read or do. Good Luck.

Carino ma niente di eccezionale

Mi piaciuto per la protagonista audace che non si lascia intimidire e anche se viene insultata continua a camminare a testa alta
