The Secrets of Hadley Green

review 1: I think I may stop reading historical romances. I used to enjoy this author, but this book gave me no sense of history, no sense of the society that prevailed then, no sense of fun which redeems the lack of the first two, sometimes, and no sense of empathy. I could have cared less what happened to these characters by the end of the book. The description of the dress worn by the different characters was perhaps the only thing that made me think I was in some era other than the 1950's. I could only tell it took place sometime after the plaid was allowed to be worn again in Scotland which puts it after 1782. Not much help. I did enjoy the way Daria employed her debutante experience to make her way through the pitfalls of Scottish clan solidarity, and I liked her nicknam... moree, "The Ransom", much better than her true name, Daria. Geordie's change from foe to friend was less than convincing and happened too quickly. I did like Geordie's misspellings. A little puzzle that kept me on my toes when nothing else did.
review 2: Uma história com um toque de humor. Uma debutante a procura de um príncipe encantado; um conde que só desejava o bem de seu clã. Mas que tem seus planos alterados quando Daria chega a suas terras para visitar a avó. Daria fica abismada ao encontrar o conde ferido na casa da avó. Uma série de enganos faz com que Jamie Campbell a sequestre até que ele recupere um dinheiro que a avó dela deu sumiço. E Daria aos pouquinhos, mesmo com tudo contra ela, conquista aos poucos seu clã e o coração dele. Uma boa leitura. less
