Der Familienfluch.

by Barbara Cartland

Nerissas stillsamma liv står i bjärt kontrast till systern Delphines högt ställda sociala ambitioner och brodern Harrys glada studentliv i Oxford. När Delphine, som blivit en ung, rik änka, sätter sig i sinnet att bli gift med hertigen av Lynchester behöver hon sina syskonen, som hon tidigare knappt brytt sig om. Tack vare sina pengar, något som Nerissa och brodern Harry saknar, får hon syskonen att spela tjänstefolk i föräldrahemmet. Men hertigens möte med Nerissa får inte den utgång Delphine hade räknat med ... Cartlands böcker äger rum i de finare engelska kretsarna och i exotiska miljöer. Kärleken är häftig mellan de passionerade hjältarna och vackra hjältinnorna, men gång på gång går de igenom prövningar. Men äkta kärlek är alltid starkast och det finns ingenting den inte kan besegra.

Reviews

[Maria]

Luin. Rakkaus ei kuihdu -nimisen suomennoksen, nimittäin. Mitähän tästä voisi sanoa?

Ihan vain peruskehno ja perusvetävä parinsadan sivun kaavaromanssipokkari lukemattomilla painovihreillä. Ehti kaikissa ylilyönneissään huvittaa hetken, mutta loppusivujen rakkaustunteilupuheet olivat kyllä niiiiin kökköä kamaa, että lähinnä hirnuin.

- Luuletko, että joku toinen saisi minut tuntemaan näin vahvasti...
- Millaiset tunteesi ovat? Nerissa tahtoi kuulla.
- Olen hyvin rakastunut, hyvin kiihottunut, maailman kaunein nainen on saanut minut pauloihinsa. Herttua ei odottanut Nerissan vastausta, vaan painoi huulet hänen huulilleen.
Kun tuli syttyi herttuassa ja hän tiesi myös Nerissan hehkuvan, herttua tiesi heidän todellakin olevan yhtä.
