Avon Books Everything and the Moon

伯爵であるヒーローRobertはヒロインVictoriaに一目ぼれして、すぐに二人は仲良くなり結婚の約束までします。Victoriaは貴族ではなく司教の娘なので、Robertの父親は二人の結婚を許さず、またVictoriaの父親もRobertはVictoriaのことを愛しているのではなくただ弄んでいるだけで結婚をする気などないと言います。二人は駆け落ちすることを決めたのですが、すれ違いのため予定していた夜に会えませんでした。お互いが裏切られたという気持ちのまま、７年後に再会します。Victoriaに再会して、昔の気持ちがよみがえったRobertは再度愛の告白をしますが、Victoriaは傷つくのを恐れて頑なに拒否します。Robertは自分を信じるように何度もVictoriaを説得しますが、Victoriaは拒否してばかりなので、ちょっとイライラしてきました。ページ数も少なくなってきてどうなるのかと思ってたら、あっさり結ばれたのでロマンスとしてはなんだか物足りない感じです。

Libro acquistato nuovo ed arrivato in pessime, pessime condizioni.

Victoria is the daughter of the village vicar who meets Robert, the son of an Earl. Despite differences in their social standing the pair fall in love. Until a misunderstanding sets them on very different paths in life. Then seven years later they meet again. Can they put the past behind them and start again? I really loved this book. The characters are written well and I wanted them to be happy so much. Robert and Victoria's bantering made me chuckle out loud a few times and made me smile alot too. It was romantic and sweet, and a very fun read. A great introduction to Julia Quinns books. I have watched Bridgerton but as yet haven't gotten around to reading the book series. But this has made me eager to get more of this authors books to read. Very enjoyable read.

I'm not as down on this book as a lot of others seem to be. I don't think it was Quinn's best, but I quite enjoyed it. If you're on the bubble about purchasing it, it's worth it - go ahead. Julia Quinn's books are just entertaining reads. I got a little exasperated with the characters in the middle but I always liked them and found many parts of their story quite touching. I could feel their pain during their conflicts and separation, and when an author can do that, it's worth a read. Yes, I found myself questioning the fast declarations of love. And then even the immediate love itself, but I started thinking back when I was a teenager and how quickly it can happen. Yes at first sight the feeling can be there and they are loves one always remembers.
