Para Annabel Essex, el marido ideal debe reunir tres características: ser tan rico que la haga olvidar los años de penuria como hija de un noble escocés pobretón, ser inglés y ser educado. Pero, para su desgracia, cuando cree haber encontrado al candidato perfecto, se cruza en su camino Ewan de Ardmore, otro conde escocés pobre, de impresionante apariencia, brillante inteligencia y talento indiscutible para besar. This one was just so-so, and the hijinks at the end were kind of awful. This book begins so well and has a wonderful, thoroughly enjoyable middle. And an ending that almost made me toss the book aside. If I hadn't enjoyed the first two-thirds of the book so much, I'm not sure I would have made it through. The ending was everything I hate in a romance novel--a contrived conflict that makes no earthly sense; a heroine determined to believe herself unloved despite all evidence to the contrary, who won't just SAY what she's thinking; and meddling family members determined to orchestrate a ridiculous spectacle. God. I am so damn unhappy about the ending. It went from a 5-star book to 3-stars because of the ending alone. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

The rules of marriage . . . according to Miss Annabel Essex A husband must be: Rich. Make that very rich. She's had enough of leaky roofs and thread-worn clothing. English. London is the center of the civilized world, and Annabel has a passion for silk and hot water. Amiable. Good-looking would be nice, but not necessary. Same for intelligent. Isn't she lucky? She's found just the man! And her chosen spouse is nothing like the impoverished Scottish Earl of Ardmore, who has nothing but his gorgeous eyes, his brain-and his kisses-to recommend him. So what cruel twist of fate put her in a carriage on her way to Scotland with just that impoverished earl and all the world thinking they're man and wife? Sleeping in the same bed? Not to mention the game of words started by the earl-in which the prize is a kiss. And the forfeit . . . Well. They are almost married, after all!. No library descriptions found. |

Annabel has been impoverished, so she wants a rich husband. In the previous novel, she came off as a bit shallow for this, but Kiss Me, Annabel really explores her character in all of its shades and depths. For his part, the Earl of Ardmore starts out as idealistic about marriage, but his journey helps him to fall truly and deeply in love. It's just so romantic. Highly recommend this novel. ( )
