La Guhrke è una delle poche autrici di romance storici che leggo ancora con piacere, che ancora regala storie diverse ed originali, come questa. La caratterizzazione di Julia era già vincente dal romanzo precedente, e in questo si conferma un personaggio nuovo, originale, fuori dagli schemi, eppu...
Bonita novela histórica de romance con unos personajes muy bien desarrollados que mantienen el pulso con sus diálogos ingeniosos, llenos de pullas y coqueteos. Narrativamente está perfectamente cuidada y consigue atraparnos en la época y la historia que se nos narra, con escenas bonitas y un tras...

Scandal of The Year is the second book of Abandoned at the Altar series from Laura Lee Guhrke. Honeystly i wasn't interested to read this as i read reviews of the first book and its not promising. But i had time in hand and decided to skip the first book and to read this one. The story open with ...
3 STARS - I LIKED ITAUDIOBOOKThis historical romance is set around the turn of the century when cars were just starting to make an appearance but horse and carriage were still the primary source of travel. This was a well written book with a decent storyline and I enjoyed getting to know these c...
I absolutely loved this book. I found both the plot as well as the characters riveting in every aspect. I quite enjoyed the relationship between Maria and Phillip and I was definitely glad when Phillip eventually stopped worrying so much about titles and was able to see what was standing right in...
My first book by Ms Laura Lee Guhrke and conclusion- shes amazing!! And a big romantic sweetheart! I simply love, loved, LOVED the book! If there was 6 or 5.5 stars, I would have given it that. I'm glad Lawrence turned out to be a nice and sweet Cupid. He could easily have become a sore loser tur...
Was this book brilliant? No, it wasn’t. But it was definitely the picker-upper that I needed. And enjoyable, too.I enjoyed the setting, the time period, and the characters. The heroine, Maria, is strong willed, independent and stubborn woman. The hero, Phillip is hard working, intelligent, contro...
Sono terribilmente indecisa. Le stelline sono 4 perché la storia mi è piaciuta, anche se non sono soddisfatta appieno. Il dubbio mi rimane proprio per questo: la Guhrke è un'autrice che, in genere, mi piace molto perché scrive storie dalla trama semplice, lineare, senza fronzoli e senza drammi no...
J'aime bien l'auteure mais je n'ai pas réussi à rentrer dans l'histoire. Je comprend que ça décrit une réalité historique d'une génération coincée entre les duchés et la valeur de la propriété terrienne d'un côté et les voitures et la nécessité de se construire une existence individuelle de l'aut...
Ce n’est pas une auteure dont j’ai apprécié les livres jusqu’ici. Je ne sais même plus pourquoi j’ai acheté celui-ci mais je ne regrette pas. Déjà, c’est agréable de lire une romance historique plus contemporaine que les habituelles victoriennes que je lis.Lady Beatrix a rompu avec William Mallor...
Um livro com uma história que nos consome do princípio ao fim, apenas para descobrirmos o seu desfecho.Há seis anos atrás Beatrix Danbury era uma mulher prestes a subir ao altar para se casar com William Sunderland. Porém um inevitável contratempo que punha na balança dois pesos pesados, ou o cas...
Well, I picked this because I thought it had an interesting storyline but, really, it just went downhill pretty quickly after a few pages and didn't meet my expectations.It was ok, very predictable and boring, and didn't manage to really capture my interest (stupid characters, too). Did I mention...
This book made me laugh out loud several times! Daisy's cheekiness was refreshing and, of course, funny! I love the name Sebastian for characters, they are always such rogues. He was a rogue but also a tortured author. Laura's descriptions of writers block and the panic that comes from it was rea...

Lettura veloce, la storia ti cattura dall'inizio alla fine, protagonisti decisi e fermi sulle loro posizioni finche' qualcosa non si muove dentro di loro.Lei deve lavorare per vivere e ha già cambiato diversi lavori, ma la sua schiettezza e sincerità non sono d'aiuto, lui...

This was at times fantastic, and at other times completely trite. I loved the heroine - she was independent, intelligent, and charismatic, without being annoying or meddlesome or a doormat. Her occasional Southernisms were charming and rarely annoying or "too much." (I do wish she didn't have t...

Marrying any of them, however, was a notion he’d never wasted time contemplating. Matrimony was an expensive business, and everyone knew he hadn’t a bean. Not that his dismal finances had ever mattered anyway since he’d never met a woman he could envision spending a lifetime with. But now, with h...
He inhaled the scent of violets, and it aroused him in an instant, bringing him fully awake as he remembered the passionate lovemaking of a short time ago. His arms tightened around her and he pressed closer to her, his chest against the soft, smooth skin of her back. He nuzzled her neck, kissed ...
To Dylan’s ears, the whispered word reverberated through the room like a shout. When she’d told him she wanted to come down here, he had hoped this was what she had meant, but he was not going to assume anything. He let her lips touch his, but he did not move. He remembered in vivid detail that n...
