Get How To Tempt A Duke (Daughtry Family, #1) Compiled By Kasey Michaels Hardcover

graphic than I enjoy reading, I don't give halfstars, but I'm sorely tempted to change my rules for this one, It's mostly very good, with a vivid, engaging cast of characters and a romance I readily bought into on a story level, I want to give it a four.
However, there were some weaknesses in the writing that I couldn't ignore, The story is rich and we're given plenty of time to get to know the characters, but the passage of time especially, but not only in the jump from part one to part two is patchy enough to detract from the flow of the story.
Or, rather, it doesn't really have a flow Michaels shows us some important passages of the leads' relationship, but it doesn't unroll as a story.
I enjoyed that, but it makes the work feel oddly unpolished so I can't say it's a plus.
Also, because of the odd nonnarrative narrative, sometimes the characters' behaviour was unnecessarily repetitive, Definitely I failed to understand or sympathize with the heroine's selfsacrificing reluctance to get involved with the hero when it persisted into the last third of the book.
And then when they do finally get together, it's all at once and in my opinion, all too fast even with the hero's grief at losing his friend as a mitigating factor.
The epilogue drops some important exposition in a noticeably clumsy way, And, Michaels' misuse of modes of address keeps me from being able to really buy into the world of her story a duke's mother doesn't become 'dowager duchess' if she was never married to a duke herself a duke's sisters don't get the courtesy 'lady' with their first names if their father was never the duke there might've been others besides, but those were major and recurring enough to keep me from being able to drop this nitpick.
So, although the story's enthralling and the How to Tempt a Duke's a good read, it could have been better and only gets three.

I'm a bit confused as to how Rafe turned out to be such a good man given his complete lack of responsible and respectworthy parental figures.
Also, I was almost too upset to continue when I realized that Fitz would be Lydia's 'lost love' by bookhe's such fun and I was rooting for their sweet romance.
Michaels won me 'round by the end, though, so while I miss Fitz I'm willing to give Tanner his chance.
And, at first I made many allowances for Nicole and told myself I should like her for what she is then her obliviousness and selfish immaturity got too much and I was thinking I wouldn't bother with the rest of the series because I couldn't stand her enough for a whole book and I didn't want to see Lydia without Fitz but, again, by the end, Michaels won me 'round, and I find myself again able to be in sympathy with Nicole even while being exasperated by her brattiness.
I guess it's impressive that Michaels creates characters it's possible to get so invested in :Aug/Kitabın kurgusu, olayların akışı, karakter seçimleri güzeldi.

Ama ben nedense bir eksiklik hissettim, Sanırım yazar ya iyi bir gözlem ve analiz yeteneğine sahip değil ya da çeviri bana böyle hissettirdi.
Bi yapaylık, acemilik vardı kitapta,
Kısaca konuya değinecek olursamRafe bir askerdir, Amcası ve kuzenleri bir kazada ölünce sıradaki varis olarak bir kont olmuştur, Ama bu konuda oldukça tecrübesizdir, Bu sırada devreye çocukluk arkadaşı Charlotte Charlie girer, Kız kardeşlerinin bakımındayaşlarında ikiz kız kardeşler,ev idaresi,mülk idaresi, kısaca yapılacak işler konusunda yardım eder.

Olaylar ilerledikçe ortaya sorunlar, sırlar çıkmaya başlar, Rafe'in başına sürekli "kaza" gibi görünsede bir kaç tatsız olay gelir, Charlotte ise hem Rafe'e olan aşkıyla hemde geçmişte yaşadığı korkunç anların hayaletleriyle yüzleşmek zorunda kalır.

Gel zaman git zaman elbet mutlu biter bu hikayede, . Tabi içinde üzüntü verici birkaç olayda yer almadı değil, . Ah Fitz'e üzüldüm yani :
Dediğim gibi güzeldi ama biraz yapmacıklık hissettim ben :
Ya yüksek ateş böyle hissettirdi yada iyi günümde değildim.
.
Ama bence kararı siz okuyup verin derim ben Meh
Not bad
Mas já li melhor Además de que fue una lectura adictiva, lo inicie ayer y ve justo casihoras después lo termine.
Los cliches son la mejor cura cuando uno tiene bloqueo lector, Confirmado!!!

Me encantó que fuera diferente que no fuera una historia de una damisela en apuros sino con mujeres fuertes.
Además que el tema de la trama pudo ser mejor explotado pero me conformo,
Y creo que el tema delicado por el que pasó el libro fue un buen gancho.
one of the best Regency Romances I've read in a long time, The end has a twist I definitely never saw coming, The next book is about one of the Duke's sisters, and I didn't want to read it.
. . until she grew up a bit at the end, But Rafe and Charlotte were a great pairing, and a cute romance,
Rafe comes back from war to a new dukedom that shouldn't have been his, He says rather grimly at one point, "And I only had to step overbodies to get it.
" But Charlotte helps him gain his footing and deal with hisyr old younger twin sisters Nicole and Lydia.
They fall in love, but charlotte has a big secret that prevents them from getting close, And it's a biggie. I liked this book alot more than I thought I would, It was a pleasant surprise, Ayant aimé une autre série de lauteure, cest avec confiance que je me suis plongé dans cette nouvelle aventure.

Dans ce premier tome nous suivons Charlotte et Rafael qui se retrouve dans des circonstances particulières six ans après le départ de celuici dans larmée Britannique.
Alors que notre protagoniste qui ne se fait toujours pas à son nouveau statut piétine un peu.
Notre héroïne tente de laider mais aussi de museler ses sentiments, On fait également la connaissance de Nicole et Lydia, les sœurs jumelles de Rafael et Fitz, lami soldat de Rafe.

Concernant lhistoire, jai aimé que la romance soit au second plan, quelle ne prenne pas trop de place pour se concentrer sur lintrigue et

lépoque avec les batailles contre Bonaparte.
On est immergé dans la vie dun domaine, sa régence, les devoirs qui incombent au propriétaire mais aussi la politique.
Il y a tout de même un petit bémol dans cette lecture, un choix scénaristique de lauteure qui a brisé mon cœur en mille morceaux, on ne sy attend pas et la douleur est vive car je métais imaginé quelque chose pour ces personnages et au final cela ne se fera pas.

Pour finir, jai beaucoup aimé cette histoire sauf lélément cité cidessus, cela change des romances historiques que jai lhabitude de lire.
Cest avec plaisir que je lirai le deuxième opus portant sur Nicole et le troisième sur Lydia.
Quant au quatrième tome, il ne mintéresse pas,
