Synopsis

From New York Times bestselling legend Mary Balogh—and the beloved author of Longing, Silent Melody, and Beyond the Sunrise—comes a ravishing novel of passion and duty, love and menace. …  Life has taught Lucas Kendrick, Duke of Harndon, that a heart is a decided liability. Betrayed by his elder brother, rejected by his fiancée, banished by his father, and shunned by his mother, Luke fled to Paris, where he became the most sought-after bachelor in fashionable society. Ten years later, fate has brought him back home to England as head of the family who rejected him. Unwilling as he is to be involved with them, he must assume responsibility for his younger siblings, the family estate he once loved—and the succession. He faces the prospect of marrying with the greatest reluctance—until he sees beguiling Lady Anna Marlowe across a ballroom one night. Anna, far from being the bright-eyed innocent Luke takes her for, is no more a stranger to the shadows of a painful past than he is. But for her, marriage cannot so easily solve what is wrong in her life—not when a tormentor stalks her to the very doors of Bowden Abbey, where Luke and Anna must learn to trust in each other or risk any chance they may have for a happy future.

My least favorite M Balogh book ever, but it is a reissue of a 20 year old book, so I guess she improved a lot afterwards. Still good enough to have me planning to jump right into the sequel when I finish, hoping the H/hs younger siblings are more likeable in Silent Melody. Luke & Anna were both pretty forgettable and Ive never had much sympathy for protagonists who thought hiding dark secrets was a good plan.

2018: It seems I've never written a review of this one, but this time, I will. Let me say up front, this is one of my top 5 ever HR favs, and I've read it probably six or so times over the years since I first bought that pretty paperback copy. Maybe even more times than that? I've lost track. But ea......more

4 Estrellitas. Este libro ha sido una sorpresa en toda regla, no sólo por su contenido, si no porque el sello editorial Titania, decidiera darle una oportunidad a esta obra tan antigua de la señora Balogh. Que mi querida señora Balogh, mi escritora favorita, tiene muchas más obras y series en su hab......more

2.5 stars The book wasn't boring, Mary Balogh is a good storyteller, I even managed to warm up to the hero in the second half of the book but Anna? Probably the worst heroine. Ever. *Update 1/1/14* There are many ways for a book to go wrong and this one did in almost every one of them. Even though this......more

Reseña completa:[URL not allowed] En realidad es una novela que no pasa entretenida. Pero no soy objetiva con esta autora y podría ponerle 2 estrellas, pero entonces veo que se publicó en el 95 y, claro, tanto ha llovido, que ha perdido toda originalidad y quizás también yo soy......more
