It is not even worthy of a historical novel "Angélique Marquise des Anges"! (That is to say!) I think it had to sleep in boxes of Sylvia, and his editor wanted to sub in riding the wave as they say ...
Basically, I'll tell you, it is the story of a girl of old pre-Victorian times -the Colonies- who, the day before his wedding discovered one evening by the greatest hazards and wilderness, lovemaking dashing Alistair Caulfield with Milady High Society British bride to the eyes (but not with him eh, obviously!). And then their eyes meet (only their eyes huh!) Between herself passionately, -which feels a little woodcock when even- and he, the great Apollo that his labor of the time (so to speak), distracts although not enough to occupy! (This is not Gideon, this is CLEAR!)
it could have been very nice if Sylvia had not then lost in moult long and perfectly uninteresting descriptions (even on a historical level) because finally, issue descriptions, nobody comes close in Poppa Honoré (De Balzac) and she still had the know Sylvia me finally!
So then, somewhat + + 6 years later, the beautiful sailed for Jamaica to manage an estate belonging to her deceased husband (it's sad but basically it suits) and you figure BUT NOT ?? ? BUT YES !!!! the master of the ship is not the "Captain Hook" but Sir Alistair bone and flesh (yes especially in flesh besides ;-)) ...
Good told like that, it is true that it can deceive but Nenni! It's long, it's boring, and we do not see the end. While some scenes very "Olé Olé" spice up the story but when you read "Crossfire" I swear that it seems to drink plain water after high champagne ...
Well let's say that for very some very young fans of the novels "historic Harlequin" in a pinch it can pass a shortage of evening, but then if you REALLY have absolutely nothing else to put you under the hand ...
Well let's be nice and stick him anyway 3 stars, our Sylvia, but then remember Gideon, huh! Good Read to those who love it, because after all, it takes something for everyone!
