Take Advantage Of Jocul Seductiei (Malory-Anderson Families #3) Scripted By Johanna Lindsey Displayed As Print
τόσο αναθεματισμένα ωραίο
Χριστέ μου! Αγαπώ όλους τους Μάλορι
Αγαπώ όλους τους Άντερσον
Αγαπώ και τον Νίκολας Ίντεν
Είναι όλοι τους τόσο παθιασμένοι, τόσο ξεροκέφαλοι, τόσο θερμοκέφαλοι, αλλά και τόσο σέξι
Δε θες να σταματήσεις να διαβάζεις τις περιπέτειες τους Οι οποίες δε σταματούν ποτέ για κανέναν τους
Θέλω και τα άλλα βιβλία Και διόπτρα ας μην ξεχνιόμαστε έχεις ξεχάσει κάτι Την ιστορία του Άντονι A fun, easy read with a "classic historical romance" feel, Loved the banter between Georgie and James, I wanted George to smack him several times throughout the story that's my kind of romantic hero, Not a fan of the cover art, however, Realmente son/'pero, qué narices, hay que ser generosa cuando, a pesar de los momentos más flojos, te lo pasas tan bien leyendo un libro como me lo he pasado yo con Amable y tirano.
James Malory ya me tenía encandilada desde el primer libro de la saga, me enamoró en el segundo y en éste ya doy palmas con las orejas cada vez que aparece, es un personaje que te conquista con cada acción que realiza y cada palabra que dice.
Y George es un encanto, de pichotismo ausente, o que se agradece muchísimo,
Me ha faltado más tensión sexual pero entiendo que no está el libro para esas cosas cuando luego hay que dar más vueltas que el baúl de la Piquer.
Y no se le nota especialmente el viejunismo aunque tiene sus cositas básicas en la Lindsey que pueden hacerte ladear el moño.
Vamos, que me lo he pasado genial con el libro pero sobre todo, he disfrutado con los momentos de James con Anthony, divertidísimos, no me cansaba de leerlos.
Lo mejor sin duda.
En fin, que James Malory a mis enaguas!!! I love youuuuuuuuu!!! I really enjoyed Gentle Rogue, The image of Georgie disguised as a scrawny twelve year old cabin boy with a temper was so funny, She thought that Captain James Malory didnt know who she was but James knew all right, She was the wench disguised as a boy hed been looking for since the day she kicked him in the shins and ran off after he carried her out of a Tavern.
Shes been on his mind for days and it was just his luck that Georgie happened to step onto his ship.
James decides to play along with her charade until Georgie admits who she really is, Georgie gets so hot and nauseous having to be near James all day and all night, She was no idea that these are feelings of arousal so when James kisses her she lets everything go, The truth is out and they spend the rest of their journey together in passion, nothing more, James has vowed he will never marry and Georgie knows that their time together will end as soon as they dock.
Too bad Georgies already fallen in love!
When Georgies brothers come into the story it gets really exciting! Five strong captains who are very overprotective of their little sister! They are so angry when they find out Georgie traveled all the way to England, worked disguised as a cabin boy, shared a cabin with James, realize shes been compromised and that shes pregnant! They force James and Georgie to marry but they give James a hard time, get him beaten up in the process and even try to get him hanged.
Though they forced the marriage they had no plans on letting them be together, James had such a hard time admitting he loved Georgie, He was such a Rogue, and he never had anything nice or sweet to say, He would always yell “Georgie is not leaving me” rather then tell her how he really felt, It wasnt until he finally admitted that she couldnt leave because he LOVED her that Georgies brothers finally let them be!
I loved the bantering between the brothers.
They were just like Anthony and James, They were so funny! Also I was busting up that nobody in the Malory family believed that James actually married.
Even when Georgie was right in front of them they thought that she must be his mistress Very good book!
Bir yere kadar o kadar güzel gidiyordu ki,kesindi ama sonra çok saçmaladı uzadı vs yinede aralarındaki atışmaları okuması çok keyifliydi RereadMan.
. . I think I even liked this audiobook better the second time around, Pirrrrrrrratical fun.
./stars. This was my first novel by Johanna Lindsey, though I read a shortstory of hers in an anthology before reading this book.
As I listened to the audiobook, I was trying to determine why I was enjoying the book so much, despite numerous bodiceripper type of clichés.
I made myself a list to justify both my enjoyment and distaste,
Reasons I enjoyed this book
My love of historical romance stories where the heroine has überprotective brothers who act crazy out of love for their sister.
In this book, Georgina hasolder brothers : Fisticuffs ensue, Rinse, Lather, Repeat. More fisticuffs.onbrother against pirate. Wheee! Im almost surprised Georgina didnt
leap into the ring herself, I loved the description of sprawled legs and flinging arms, Then postfight, the blithe retort of James to Georgie in front of her brothers: “I dont think they like me, George.
” Or, how about the silly discourse between the brothers: “Should we really hang him if he marries Georgie It doesnt seem right, hanging a brotherinlaw.
” Resume fisticuffs. :
My secretobsession with men wearing pirate shirts, tight pants, and an earring, Wheeee! PIRATE!
My extreme enjoyment of picturing a “gentleman”pirate in the spirit of the Pirates of Penzance, not the rapingpillaging sort.
I hate to admit, but I love a genderbender/womaninpants pretending to be a guy plotline,
The audiobook narrators voice when reading the character of James Mallory reminded me of the audiobook narrator who reads the character of Barrons in the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning.
The narrator also did a good job with the brogue of Ian, I like it when audiobook narrators can do different voices and accents,
References by Americans in the book to London as a “den of iniquity”, People usually romanticize London during books of this time period, so it was fun to see characters hating the idea of England and London.
Not that I have anything against the UK myself, :
I like characters in books that can raise their eyebrow at something another character says, James had a very sexy way of raising his eyebrow in the book and not saying anything aloud, but saying everything with his expression.
Did I mention I like to picture men with earrings and pirateshirts I might just have to dress my husband up next Halloween Make him swab the deck or walktheplank or something.
Hmmmm
So, what were my issues with the book
Despite Georgie as a spitfire heroine with a supposedly hot temper, she seemed rather wimply at times.
The whole nausea thing annoyed me in the book, Dizzyness and urge to faint or something, I could understand, But nausea Feeling like throwing up on the Pirate Bah! She was ready to jump his bones, not vomit,
Flippant disregard for chance of pregnancy on a ship in the middle of the ocean, Ummmm. Seemed a bit unrealistic to me, Maybe not for the guy in thes harboring a secret female in his cabin, but I would at least think Georgie would at least have a tinge of worry about it.
The idea that Georgie could pull off ayear old boy when she was ayear old female without anyone suspecting.
Too young and too unbelievable, And an icky thought. When I pictured Georgie in drag, I saw her as ayear old cabinboy in my head, Not.
I was reading along, and suddenly it felt like I was reading The Flame and the Flower by Woodiwiss.
Except with retired pirates. Yes, I know they are really very different books, But, I still felt like I was blending the stories together in my head,
There was no cannon fire at sea when I was expecting it, They saw a pirate ship, but instead of fighting, they ran away, BOOOOO!!!!! I wanted battle and sword fighting/swashbuckling,
Lack of sea chanty singing and sea monsters, Where there are pirates there should be seachanties and drunken behavior, And large octopi or squids, Maybe Ive read too much paranormal fiction recently, I doubt that there are many sea monsters in historical romance, other than that recent rewrite of Austen with Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters.
I might just have to read that
Parts of the book were so cheesy that I felt like a voyeur watching a bad Cinemax latenight movie.
At least they were cheesy fun like flaming hot cheesey goo on pizza fresh out of the oven,
Would I read it again
Raises an eyebrow You question that Of course I would, though it likely wont be for a while until Im in the mood again for a protective brothers of gender bender spitfire heroine who has frisky behavior at sea with gentleman pirate captain storyline.
Somehow, I doubt this is the only historical romance with that plot, but I could be wrong, :
I don't know how many times I've read this book over the years, but each time I do, I still giggle over it.
James is definitely my favorite Malory, along with Anthony, .
