review 1: Hemmmmmm ..... Sebenarnya gak jelek sih. Cenderung ke bagus malah karena dialog Heronya kadang bikin senyum sendiri. Tapi jujur ini bukan the best HR yang pernah saya baca, membosankan, penokohanya gak jelas, dan story linenya pasaran ... Saya sudah menurunkan standart saya untuk menilai series pertama dari Mary Balogh yang saya baca ini. Tapi tetap saja, masih kurang aja ...Saya merasakan kontradiksi yang membingungkan dari Heroinenya, kurang suka aja. Detik ini dia tertawa, detik berikutnya lempeng. Mungkin Mrs. Balogh ingin menyuguhkan penokohan yang unik, tapi jatohnya malah aneh dan kaku ... Pemaparan ceritanya juga ngalur ngidul, gak menarik, dan bahasanya harfiah sekali . "Aku sedih" "Aku bahagia" "Dia menangis" "Hari ini dingin" benar benar harfiah. Tak ada bahasa ... moreberbunga bunga atau pemaparan yang bikin imaginasi saya melayang ke tahu tahun dimana mereka hidup ...Banyak banget kekuranganya jadi kasih 1 bintang aja ...
review 2: Balogh did not disappoint. I will continue to devour her books. My greatest sadness being that there are not enough of them.This book was very sensual. So sensual in fact that after the scene where Jasper almost seduces Kate I was inspired to attempt my own seduction of my boyfriend. My seduction didn’t work alas. The love scenes were imaginative. Jasper and Kate did not need a bed or proper room. And there is something sensual about outdoor lovemaking. Very hot!Jasper was a well thought out character with a deep history and multiple dimensions. For instance, he doesn’t believe in love. Doesn’t think it exists. At all. But, he is willing to marry Kate to protect his half sister. Even though he can’t love even a sister because love isn’t real.Kate is a complex character. She annoyed me a bit because she wanted Jasper to love her but in her own limited definition of love. It is apparent to the reader that they love each other much before either is willing to admit.Kate and Jasper are both witty and sarcastic. Their exchanges were passionate and funny all at once. Plenty of double meanings. I really enjoyed that.I also enjoyed the scenery of the story. I have to admit I don’t usually like much description. I find it tedious to read long passages about gardens, furnishings, etc.In this case I was really struck by how the scenery details were weaved into the character development of the story. Kate moves to Jasper’s estate and learns to feel ”home”. less

This is the second book in the series and what I loved about it was that from the first pages I was drawn into the story. All the main characters from the first book were present and interwoven among the pages of this book despite the fact it dealt mainly with the youngest daughter Katherine and the would be love of her life Jasper. I found this time she gave both the characters and the romance more detail early on so that I was sucked in from the beginning. Wonderful love story and definitely recommend this book.

I can handle the occasional jerkass hero. This guy, however, takes the cake. He accepts the classic bet that he can seduce a virtuous woman, does a damn fine job of it, and literally has her half-undressed and whispering 'please' before saying "You know what? Never mind. I proved I could make you want me, and you patently do, so I'm done." And then he comes back and tries to be nice. You know what? NO. I stopped reading because I could not imagine her EVER forgiving him for doing that to her.
