Un protagonista maschile che conquista con dolcezza, una lettura piacevole. ( )
  Raffaella10 | Jan 28, 2023 |
The hero of this historical romance was so endearing and I liked how the romance developed but the story moved rather slow and the plot was somewhat predictable. After a betrayal six years ago Samantha vows to never fall in love then at her cousin's country home she meets a friendly neighbor Hartley.

A tender love story about friendship first, followed by love. The hero has a pronounced limp & mangled right hand from a childhood accident, but he has a strong sense of his own self worth. The love scenes are tender but not particularly steamy. More romance than steam. A sweet, slow build love story. ( )

Romance
Hero with a crippled hand and somewhat lame.

Really super nasty antagonist revisited from Dark Angel. Heroine was a secondary character who was badly hurt emotionally by the bad guy. Hero has a small snit but gets over it well, and is really appealing person in the long run. ( )

After her cousin Jennifer's fiance, Viscount Kersey, used her in a scheme that wounded her and and her cousin's feelings quite deeply, she's decided that the volatile nature of love is emphatically not for her. Six years after her London debut, and her disastrous run-in with Kersey, Samantha Newman is quite happily unmarried. Now visiting her cousin in the country, she decides to take a long walk to put some space between herself and the happy young family. She encounters a charming landscape artist named Hartley Wade when her walk leads her onto the property of the Marquess of Carew. Instantly she's at ease with him, falling effortlessly into easy conversation and lapsing into comfortable silences. Quickly they develop a friendship, meeting secretly in the afternoon to walk the marquess' lands and chat amiably.

Hartley is a bit more than just the well-spoken, limping gardener she presumes him to be, as he's the Marquess of Carew himself. Surprised to find the stunningly beautiful woman recognizes neither his person nor his name, he plays along with her misperception. Crippled at a young age, leaving him with a twisted arm and a lame leg, he's wary of women pursuing him for his fortune alone. When Samantha seems as taken with him as he is with her, despite believing him a mere gardener, he can hardly believe his luck. Suddenly it seems he could have what he had always assumed could never be - a woman to love who loved him for who he was.

This is a love at first sight story at its heart. Immediately upon meeting Samantha, Hartley acknowledges to himself that he's in love with her. Samantha clearly does as well, though she won't use that particular word herself. Balogh does a smashing job of showing their mutual attraction through their easy conversation, peaceful silences and shared thoughts. I immediately came away with the impression that they were old dear friends meeting one another for the first time. Having a hero be enthusiastic about finding a woman to love and comfortable to admit it to himself was a wonderful change of pace.

I liked how Balogh stretched the story out on the characters insecurities without resorting to a Big Misunderstanding. Lord Kersey's reappearance upsets and confuses them both in different ways. While they both react poorly to the stresses, they do it in a way consistent with their personalities and their dynamic as a couple and grow closer as a result of it.

Definitely a cute story about the fine line between love and friendship. I'd give it a 4, I think. It's good, but it's not amazing. ( )
