review 1: Madeline Hunter's stories are so layered and rich that you can't help but enjoy the read. Although some might find the romance a bit lacking in this one, the story more than makes up for it - otherwise, why would we have stayed up so late reading this? We couldn't put it down! We...

review 1: I confess I just read this book for the second time--or was it the third? This was my first Madelyn Hunter book, as well as the first book in a quartet. All of the four heroines are introduced, and though the book stands alone, there are hints and foreshadowing of events in the t...

review 1: Madeline Hunter'ın daha önce Tutku Dersleri adlı kitabını okumuştum. Her zaman keyif aldığım tarihi aşk romanı okuma olayı ilk kez eziyete dönüşmüştü. Bu kitabı da fark etmeden indirimden almışım. Tabi bir yazar tek kitapla değerlendirilmez, bu yüzden elimden geldiğince ön yargıs...

review 1: Dangerous in Diamonds is the story of Tristan, the Duke of Castleford, and Daphne, the owner of Rarest Blooms. Tristan is quirky--only works on Tuesdays--but also very intelligent. Daphne is sedate, calm and collected, on the outside. Inside, she's highly intelligent and passiona...

review 1: I'm going to simply chalk this book up to "just not my type of hero". I know a lot of readers don't like the heroin. I like her. I like her a lot actually. I find her endearing, well meaning, sad and broken a little bit and yes, childish and stubborn. But, that's who she is. I li...

review 1: I really liked this one. The story itself was entertaining with a little twist at the end that I never would have guessed which, even if I find it very far fetched, I like that I didn't guess it. I like the 2 main characters together although it was missing a dash of something. S...

review 1: Até agora este foi o mais fraquinho da série :/Não houve grandes desenvolvimentos, apenas segredos descobertos sobre o casal principal.Nada de grandes emoções ou peripécias.Tudo demasiado previsível.Se não fosse aquele parvo do Castleford a espevitar a coisa no final não sei como...

review 1: This is the best of the series yet! The storyline was interesting and I love how Celia's friends rallied around her despite the blemish to their reputations that could and most likely would happen if they were not friends with a certain duke. :). This is the story of 2 black sh...

review 1: According to the reviews I should have read #1 and especially #3 in the series. Book was OK on its own. Christian/Edmund was very much full of himself with his "I am Easterbrook" attitude so maybe the other books in the series would make me understand that attitude better. Liked ...

review 1: If I had noticed that it was the fourth book of a series, I may not have signed up for it on First reads. As a fourth book in this series, it may have been pretty good. For someone picking it up not knowing what had happened before, it was rather dull, a bit confusing and annoy...

review 1: RATING: 2.5 stars-ish.Já há algum tempo que não leio um livro de Madeline Hunter, porque o primeiro que li dela não me encantou assim muito. Mas o tempo apaga muita coisa, e sendo Hunter uma autora tão popular entre o público português, decidi que talvez tivesse apenas pegado no ...

review 1: Madeline Hunter is a relatively new-to-me author. Everything I've read of hers (so far) has been consistently very high-quality. This was no different. I'm torn between four and five stars, and my exceedingly minor quibble is below.Blurb: Audrianna's father was disgraced by a sca...

review 1: Castleford is definitely one of the most entertaining characters that I have read in a romance novel in a very long time. When he makes appearances in Ravishing in Red, Provocative in Pearls and Sinful in Satin he has this Tony Stark like charm what with all the boozing, carousi...

review 1: This story was not just a love story but also a story of women's rights, or lack thereof in the 19th century. Poor Verity, she was trampled on left and right, and it made this story so painful to read. Not like your typical romance with just a little twinge of angst. No, this rea...

review 1: It was an ok romance with the typical pace and intrigue mixed in with a little originality in the story line. I liked the strong heroine character but was annoyed with her at some points. The hero in the story was good but nothing exceptional. I did enjoy the plot and the little...

review 1: The best and worst about Hunter as a romance writer. On the plus side: good plotting, intriguing use of history to drive character, good development of tension and pace. On the minus: sexuality must ALWAYS = woman's submission; hero = arrogant and domineering for no good reason (...
