I'll move up the Duke's Wager and Lord of Dishonor on my TBR and maybe read it this week.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18147385640237155075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4608029603869554523.post-90086826881839286772007-09-23T03:19:00.000+00:002007-09-23T03:19:00.000+00:00I was surprised to see Torquay here too Ioana and ...I was surprised to see Torquay here too Ioana and I started wondering if this was part of a series.<BR/><BR/>Is the Duke's Wager your favourite Layton? I think mine are TDW and To Wed a Stranger but I haven't read The Cad yet which seems to be another favourite among fans.Seccionistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14412042139824865664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4608029603869554523.post-34766230544878448202007-09-22T18:52:00.000+00:002007-09-22T18:52:00.000+00:00I'm very happy you enjoyed it, Ana, it is indeed o...I'm very happy you enjoyed it, Ana, it is indeed one of my favorite Laytons (although not quite the greatest favorite :))<BR/>And we do agree about most things.<BR/>What I loved about this book was most of all the relation between the 2 main characters. How many times we saw mismatched characters in traditional regencies? Just think of the usual Best Master of Bedrooms/ Successful Businessman/ Great Spy/Clever Gambler hero who meets Innocent/Great Victim/Most Selfless Creature Ever Seen heroine and they fall in love out of nowhere. Where is the sense in that? :) And how can any reader believe it?<BR/>So I enjoyed very much the real chemistry that existed between the two characters. It made a good romance and what we are if not romance readers?! :) Another thing I liked was that they fell in love from the very beginning of the book, which could be usual in other romance books, but not in Layton's. In her books is very usual to get confused about the *who is going to end up with whom?* fact (remember "the duke's wager"?), so this was a nice diversion.<BR/>Another thing? well Torquay, the hero from "the duke's wager", one of my favorite tortured heroes ever, finally got an appearance :) I don't know about you, Ana, but *I* looked for him in other Layton books and was very surprised to find him here :) <BR/><BR/>What I did not liked. Well, there was the plot for one thing. Although I liked how it started, the middle and the ending was not quite the same. And the villainess was pretty clichee and one dimensional. Plus Leonora should have been less blind me thinks :) <BR/>other than that, pretty good :) I gave it a B+ too :)Ioanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00054825702749068660noreply@blogger.com
