review 1: Grace Burrowes' "Beckman, Lord of Sins" - #4 in the Lonely Lords series (Reaction after first reading) Even though I'm giving this one 4 stars, it's not quite as enjoyable as the previous two stories about the Haddonfield brothers (Nicholas and Ethan) in this series. I saw a pattern emerging in the stories with the little scenes showing the possible villain gradually closing in on his prey. In the end, though, the villain/evildoer parts of this story were not very satisfactory or even exciting. There were quite a few surprises right at the end that I was not expecting and even now, a day later, they don't really make sense. The author could have let us in on those surprises much earlier in the story. Of course, if she *had* brought up one of those items earlier in ... morethe story, I might have thrown the book at the wall ... The next book in the series is about Gareth and Polly who are both secondary characters in this story. I really look forward to reading Gareth's story, not so much Polly's story because a couple of the surprises revealed at the end of this book turned her into a character I could not like very much. (After second reading) The book is a much better read the second time, when one knows the secrets that are kept from the first-time reader until the final pages of the book. The main characters - Beckman, Sara and Polly - are much more sympathetic and their actions make much more sense when their secrets don't obstruct the reader's understanding. But even though I enjoyed the book even more after the second reading, I won't change my rating - I still think those secrets should have been elucidated sooner in the story than they were.
review 2: BECKMAN: LORD OF SINS by Grace Burrowes is a delightful Regency Historical Romance . Book 3 in the “Lonely Lords” series, but can be read as a stand alone. See, “Darius”, and “Nicholas”. A riveting love story from beginning to end. Fast paced with passion, secets, and love. I love this author’s stories and the “Lonely Lords” series shows her talent as a storyteller. “Beckman: Lord of Sins” is story of grief,pass affairs,guilt and the power of love. Well written with intriguing and engaging characters. I can hardly wait to learn of Gabriel’s secrets,as a secondary character in this story, he is bound to have his own story soon. Historical romance readers are sure to enjoy “Beckman”, with his past sins and his future coming together,you do not want to miss this story. A must read! Received for an honest review the publisher and Net Galley.RATING: 4.5HEAT RATING: MILDREVIEWED BY: AprilR, Review courtesy of My Book Addiction and More less
