man, I hoped this one would be a great story just like the others in this series. Nope. Something about Lucinda was off-putting. Perhaps it was that she didn't seem to realize the villain spent all his time playing her and her father soooooo she didn't get "it" until the end. Oh well. Robert is awesome, though. ( )

Lucinda es la última de las tres amigas que se ponen de acuerdo en cambiar las tornas con los libertinos más incorregibles de Londres. Pero en ningún momento pensaron que encontrarían el amor.
Un héroe disfrazado.
Con sus dos mejores amigas felizmente casadas, Lucinda Barrett comprende que no puede aplazar sus planes. El granuja al que espera educar debe ser alguien que mantenga su vida equilibrada y tranquila... y ese alguien definitivamente no es Robert Carroway.
El guapo y melancólico héroe de guerra es demasiado complicado y rechaza a la sociedad londinense y sus trivialidades. Aún así, cuando Robert se ofrece a ayudar a Lucinda en su misión de reformar y casarse con un aristócrata más adecuado resulta una agradable sorpresa. Ójala pueda resistirse a la sensual atracción de los ojos asombrosamente azules de Robert... y al intenso fuego interior que desprende y la deja sin aliento.
Lucinda quiere un esposo, no un amante apasionado e irresistible que puede poner su mundo pastas arriba con un profundo y largo beso. Y su corazón le dice que este hombre puede ser el más desastroso de los peligros... y el más estimulante amor que jamás conocerá.

This which was ok. Not my favorite, but enjoyable. I am surprised, I haven't read any of her books before, it seems. It didn't put me off her books, which is nice. ( )

I was glad to see that Robert got a story. Lucinda was a great match for Robert. I liked her attitude and how she dealt with situations. I am now going to go read about the Duke of Wycliffe and Emma... cause apparently I missed their story! ( )

So milquetoast. Blugh.

Having not read any of the previous books in the series, this was a recommendation I still wanted to read due to the description. And I've been in a HRom mood lately, sue me. So the beginning was understandably bumpy since I had to pick the theme and relationships up as I went along. There was defintly a point where I realized I wasn't going to be able to remember everyone's name and just gave up. There are a metric ton of characters in this book since it's the last in the series and everyone has to be in it.

But let's get to the main story. After the rocky beginning I was convinced I was going to hate the heroine, but both she and the lead ended up having a surprising depth that made me like them. Same with the side characters, and not just those that were from previous novels. The new ones were pretty well fleshed out as well.

Now, did the main conflict make a damn bit of sense? Not particularly. It wasn't even suspenseful since you can figure out who the villain is pretty soon in the narrative without giving it much thought. He wasn't even a particularly good one at that.

So overall, I'm glad they had their HEA, but the story itself was pretty boring with the lack of compelling conflict. Probably going to stay away from this author in the future. ( )
