Inspect Sweet Savage Eden (North American Woman Trilogy, #1) Narrated By Heather Graham Released As Ebook
fantastic! Last night, I couldn't put the book down! It was well written, easy to follow and most importantly dramatic.
It was full of sexual chemistry, amazing banter and moments in which I couldn't help but smile at, The ending was a surprise I must admit, for I did not expect 'THAT' to happen if already read, you should know what I'm on about lol.
I could vividly image everything and I too was transported to Virginia a new world indeed!
I could feel the nervousness, confusion, pain, horror, lust and love that she Jassy felt.
Such a wonderful character full of life, determination and spirit!
Happy to announce that this book is one of my favourites!
It's a MUST read!
I give this bookwith no hesitations Well, this was almost a DNF for me.
Too much bodiceripping and rape, Twothirds of the book was spent with the hero and heroine, Jamie and Jazzy, hating each other viciously,
He was a Lord who had created a home and community in the New World, He found her as a serving wench living in poverty and abuse, He discovers that she is the illegitimate sister of his sister's husband, a duke, She had tried to steal money from him to save her mother, Upon her mother's death, Jamie takes her to her halfbrother's home, He was not happy to see her, but did accept responsibility for her by making her a servant, In a convoluted way, they end up married and in the new community of West Virginia, Their relationship is violent. It wasn't until the last third of the book that there was any tenderness at all, And still, the forced intimacy continues,
I guess I should have been prepared for this, But I have a hard time believing that this was readily accepted even inwhen it was first published.
I continued to read because this is Heather Graham, after all, Certainly, the HEA was satisfying, And all ended well. But I'm quite shellshocked by the rapiness of this book, I don't know if I can stomach the next in the series, I'll probably try since the reviews here are quite good, Maybe I'll be better prepared, I can only hope that women, during this period of history, did not have to endure this routinely, Maybe they did. I'm no historian. I trust these wellrespected authors to know better than I, DEFIANT BRIDE
From the first time Jasmine's eyes met those of Lord Jamie Cameron in a smoky British inn, theirs was the wrong kind of attraction not gentle, slow, and easy, but hot, hard, and allconsuming.
The illegitimate daughter of an actress and a duke, Jassy had dreams no man could wench from her in a moment of desire.
She's resist this bold nobleman with all the strength of her soul, But her golden hair, fiery temperament, and indomitable spirit obsessed Lord Cameron, . . and he wanted her with him when he sailed for the new wilderness called Virginia, So he had a bargain for the spitfire Jassy, one that only a very special woman would dare to make.
.!!
I've mixed feelings about this book, I've come to expect the same enemies to lover trope that are in all Heather Graham books, My problem is that the MC fought the ENTIRE book without the lover part, Both were so stubborn and said cruel things, The bickering got too redundant,
I did love the history! The story takes place in, The book explores the struggles of early American life, when the H moves his family to Jamestown, I particularly liked learning about Powhatan Indians,
All in all, I would have liked this book, if not for the nonstop angst, Still, I can't stop thinking about the book, which is a credit to the author, The constant arguing/misunderstanding between the two wore me down, The intimate scenes were sensual, warning: this is an older bodice ripper type,
Spoilers
the hero rapes the heroine the first time, They are married, but she's less than willing and he takes her roughly, This was astar read for meyears ago, and still a/star read now since Ive been reading barely readable Wattpad like books, written by wannabe authors lately
.
This story totally “swept me away” to a different time, and I felt all the emotions between thecouples.
The book made me laugh, mad, sad, happy and infuriated, Omg, at times I was so frustrated by the MCs in this story!!! In particular, this h, I really disliked the h for the majority of the book for acting like an entitled, stuck up bitch.
Plot:
servant h, lord H,
She is totally beautiful,
He is totally rich!
Shes a gold digger, and hes totally smitten with her,
Shes smitten by his bestfriend Om,
He marries her because he loves her,
She marries him for his money and because shes been dreaming about being a lady all her life.
After the marriage, he forces her to leave his fancy homes and move to America to live in a hovel with him.
Poor girl, shes so mad!
Safety
There is rape,
No cheating
H is tempted at one point he found a beautiful Native American girl naked in his bed, but doesnt go through with it.
He doesnt kiss or touch her, but he certainly reacted to her beauty, felt lustful and thought of her after she left.
the wannabe ow is around which he doesnt encourage to stir jealousies in h, And I low key hoped that he would cheat because I was hating on this h still, But no, there is no ow drama,
There is an OM, Someone she liked more than the H in the beginning and this stirs lots of jealousies in H that causes him to lash out at her.
Me ha parecido un bodicerippismo de tomo y lomo creo que el primero que he leído con tanto forzamiento, con un estupendo punto de partida que se acaba perdiendo en el cansino vaivén que es la relación entre los protagonistas.
Él cree que es una pilingui y, en su primer encuentro, ella se comporta como tal, Pero a él se le pone en los cataplines que se tienen que casar y, como ella es una muerta de hambre y él un lord, pues bodorrio al canto con posteriores "refrotes que ella no quería pero que internamente acaba queriendo porque él no la trata mal y acaba disfrutando".
Ya he dicho mil veces que estas cosas no me importan demasiado no me tiréis piedras, que os las devuelvo porque, aunque no me gusta leerlos, los puedo encuadrar en lo históricamente fiel, pero eso de que a través del chingamiento se llegue al enamoramiento hay que saber llevarlo, y me parece que la Graham no lo hace bien, más que nada porque ellos pueden disfrutar mucho en el lecho pero que fuera de él su relación no avance por los enormes malentendidos que tienen.
. . Pues no, es algo que me cansa mucho y aquí se estira hasta el mismo final del libro, La relación entre ambos está estancada desde el principio y lastra todo el libro, Y ellos, que en un principio no me caían mal, me han acabado pareciendo muy pesados, con esa negación de sus sentimientos y esa manía del maromo de soltarle a ella que es una fpruta, pfffffffff.
Sin embargo, el contexto histórico algo posterior a la muerte de Pocahontas me ha parecido fascinante, Reconozco que me encanta que me cuelen historia en estos libros porque, para mí, los hace mucho más interesantes, y desde luego la historia de los primeros colonos en Virginia el protagonista estuvo con John Smith y todo lo que acontece en el periodo en el que transcurre la historia de este libro me ha interesado muchísimo, con la relación de los británicos con los nativos, un sangriento conflicto que tuvieron.
. . Pero claro, esto es una novela romántica y esa parte es justo la que falla, Y tenía claro que le iba a dar dos estrellas hasta que al final del libro se le va la cabeza con un personaje y le da un final que me ha sentado como una patada en la peineta, así que le he bajado una estrella.
NO MAJOR SPOILERS JUST MILD IN THE FIRST PAR
OK the author did an amazing job at writing the story l, the plot historical aspects and the setting where amazing.
That being said the romanticization of rape in this book was astronomical, I was literally disgusted and cringed throughout, I would NOT categorize this book as romance, I found nothing romantic about it,
SPOILERS: Just Jamie and hers relationship was just built on this idea of rape and their whole relationship in the first half of the book involves that and it was just so hard to be happy for them or to encourage their relationship in the second half of the book because of what happened.
And I hate the miscommunication trope and that was going on throughout this book yeah I just hated Jamie I hated the relationship I did not like that at all and then poor Elizabeth the end of the book I literally want to throw my Kindle across the room.
I just hated that the author decided to like have Elizabeth kind of give in to what was happening to her and how the author would be like oh she would fight and cry and then the next time it happened she was silent and then a week later she was welcoming the advances but they werent advances, it was rape.
But I do understand that Rape would occur because of the time period of the book and I like Jamie would expect things of his wife and how the Native American would perhaps do that sort of thing to the captives but it was just the Romanticization of it that rubs me the wrong way.
This book was maddeningly frustrating, The h was so quick to be mean to the H and I didn't understand her strong dislike, The H was no better with his accusations, These two just needed to talk to each other and they would not have had any problems, There was also the rape of a character towards the end and I was very disappointed with it happening as well as the resolution of the character.
The ending wasn't good because I don't know what happens with these characters, So. much. Fighting. Que livro! Eu amei Sweet Savage Eden, primeiro livro da trilogia North American Woman The Cameron Saga, Eis um verdadeiro clássico do estilo, a escrita de Heather Graham é soberba, envolvente e apaixonada,
A história é desenvolvida na Inglaterra em meados de, no Reinado de James I, e na Colônia da Virgínia, num suposto período de paz com os nativos americanos.
Por aí dá para perceber que os cenários não poderiam ser mais distintos, assim como a vida da heroína Jassy Jasmine Dupré é irrevogavelmente modificada quando seu caminho se cruza com o frio e enigmático Lorde Jamie Cameron.
Jamie e seu charmoso amigo Robert conhecem Jassy em uma estalagem, onde a jovem aprendiz de cozinheira, trabalhava para se sustentar como garçonete, assim como a sua mãe.
Ocorre que a mãe de Jassy está gravemente enferma e para comprar o remédio que ela necessita, a heroína, em um ato de desespero, aceita uma suposta proposta de Robert para uma noite.
Para a sua surpresa, não foi Robert o homem que a convidou e sim Jamie, justamente o homem o qual ela detestou desde o primeiro encontro.
O ajuste sexual não é concretizado, o que não impede que Jamie venha a interferir inexoravalmente na vida de Jassy, mesmo contra a sua vontade.
Com a sua ajuda, ela vai ao encontro de seus meiosirmãos, filhos de seu pai Jassy é filha bastarda do duque de Somerfield , o que resulta numa grande reviravolta na vida da heroína, culminando num casamento de conveniência com Jamie, justamente o homem que ela jurou odiar.
O desenrolar dos acontecimentos levam os recém casados ao Novo Mundo,
Desde o início, uma guerra de temperamentos é travada entre Jassy e Jamie, orgulhosos e apaixonados, eles entregam os seus corpos ao prazer sexual sem cederem seus corações.
Os protagonistas são maravilhosos, ao mesmo tempo em que nos causam uma certa comoção por suas teimosias, simplesmente porque não aceitam o amor recíproco.
Jassy e Jamie são equivalentes em força e espírito, voláteis e sensuais, Sim, o livro é bodice ripper bastante sensual, Vale dizer que há momentos de aventura e um desfecho eletrizante, de tirar o fôlego,
Eu adorei a história no seu conjunto, muito embora em
alguns momentos eu me vi tentada a escalpelar em pensamentos Jassy e Jamie por suas tolices.
Recomendo! The starting was interesting, I was amused that both the hero and heroine were very strong willed and stubborn, But it was hard for me to like them as I progressed into the story, This is mainly because Jamie was too forceful amp mean, and Jassy is too prickly,
I didnt understand the degree of hate Jassy had for Jamie, which lasted for a very long time.
Sure, hes an ass most of the time, but he has helped her on many occasions, I felt she could at least drop her hatred for a while and thank him for what he has done for her, despite being strangers/not close to her.
With her being prickly and full of hatred, I couldnt find it in myself to like her,
While I do enjoy the detailed sex they were having which was a lot, I wasnt completely at ease with it because Jassy was unwilling majority of the time, often begging Jamie to stop, but he proceeds to go ahead and take her anywayregardless of her wishes.
I understand that they made an agreement, where she came into the marriage with nothing and agreed to provide her body for him at any time he wishes, but it doesnt mean he can ignore her wishes amp “rape” her.
When a woman says no, and the man still had sex with her, I see it as rape, This book had it and I wasnt comfortable with it,
Jamie was another kind of mean, He calls her whore and looks down on her so many times, I really hated him for it, If he actually wanted / liked her, he would have treated her better,
Their constant arguments were tiring me out and by half of the book, I considered dropping the book altogether but decided against it, hoping it would become better.
It did become better for a while, of sorts, They argued less, and changed to become nicer to each other,
However, the things that were ruining the story was Jamies jealousy and temper, amp their inability to communicate like proper adults without shouting at each other.
Jamie was constantly hiding his feelings from Jassy, and in the process he often hurls hurtful words towards her.
I really disliked that about him, He is allowing his feelings for her and his inability to communicate them to Jassy, to ruin the relationship between him and Jassy.
At the back with the action, it bored me so I skimmed, Probably wouldnt read another book by this author, if all her heroes and heroines are going to be unlovable like Jassy and Jamie were.
If I were to read another book from this author, it would have to be spaced out because I dont think I have the patience to suffer horrible heroes and heroines.
