Výborná knížka. Potřebovala jsem něco v angličtině kvůli zkoušce a tuhle jsem měla už doma. Sice mě nenadchla, když jsem ji začala číst hned po koupi, ale stačilo se jen prokousat prvními pár stránkami a pak už jsem se nemohla odtrhnout. Přečetla bych ji i rychleji než za tři dny, ale v pondělí mě hrozně bolela hlava. Jamie je totálně skvělý a stejně tak Margaret. Není to nic náročného ani moc překvapujícího, ale za mě skvělá oddechovka. Zajímavé postavy i napínavý děj mě nutily se neodtrhnout. Rozhodně doporučuji. První interakce po seznámení mezi hlavními postavami byla celkem překvapivá.

First of all, this book has more than 10 pages. And I felt like there could have been more conversation between the characters before they're suddenly in love. Like when did that happen? Also, the blurb is slightly misleading.

Took me a while to finish as I kept losing interest and putting it down. Can’t say much about it as it didn’t really rise any sort of interest in me. I liked it alright in the end but I expect to forget about it pretty quick.

I feel with shocking ease back into historical romance- a good deal of smut, and hot caresses. Romance and misunderstandings that go hand in hand. This book is no different- the two main characters suffer the confusion only first true love brings. By the end, both are reformed and we're left with the image that they will have hot, steamy lovemaking for the rest of their conceivable lives. Jamie and Maggie- another great love story, and just what I felt like reading on this overcast afternoon.
