review 1: El argumento es interesante y creo que lo que más me ha gustado del libro es que la protagonista, lady Kiri Lawford, no es la típica dama inglesa - sumisa e inocente - que vive acatando las normas de la sociedad londinense. Sin embargo, también es un personaje casi perfecto (muy bella, muy buena en perfumes, muy segura de sí misma, muy buena en artes marciales, etc) que me ha hecho pensar si no estaré frente a una Mary Sue. Eso y el hecho de que muchas cosas se resolvían de forma tan conveniente es lo que me ha molestado del libro. Y aunque por la portada y la sinopsis pueda parecerlo, el romance no es tan central en esta historia como otras novelas de romántica histórica. En resumen, le doy un 3/5.
review 2: 3.7 Stars. Public Library 7/7/14. This is t... morehe third book in the series but I don't think it matters and it can be read as a standalone. I enjoyed the book although the H and h are not traditional. As I've not read the other books I don't know if this is typical of Ms. Putney or atypical. If I had to guess I'd say all of her characters probably have an air of adventure and trouble. I would've liked more at the end but you will probably see them in her other books. Lady Kiri has one foot in two worlds. She is a Hindu princess from her mothers side and the daughter of an Engkish Duke on her fathers. After the death of her father her mother remarried to a military man. As a result Kiri was raised in India around soldiers. She is a unique woman among her class. Mackenzie is from a different class all together. He is the by-blow of a Duke and an actress. Although he is a wealthy business owner the fact that he is illegitimate means he will never be in the same class as Kiri. Their meeting and involvement are everything but ordinary. If you are looking for adventure, mystery, and love this book is for you. less
