As the first female doctor to practice in England, let’s just say that her career choice is not one that is accepted with open arms by the masses. She was a feminine anomaly during that time that no one quite knew what to do with. Garrett Gibson was easily one of my favorite heroines that Ms. He has such a devilish charm about him (That dimple and cheeky grin!) that Garrett tries to blow off, but she’s no match for the attraction that blazes between them.ĭr.
Not to mention the chemistry as he bantered with Garrett was completely addictive. There’s a vulnerability there that immediately makes you want to strip away the mystery surrounding him and learn everything there is to know about the man underneath. He had been born to this city, nursed on it, until its violent rhythms were woven through him as surely as the network of his own veins.
But despite his drive to become a success, he never lost his moral compass or conscience. Raised in poverty, he fought and clawed to make it out of the gutter. Formerly a Scotland Yard detective, currently a spy who slips through London unnoticed and alone, and isn’t afraid to break a few rules to achieve his directive. It was so good that I couldn’t stop thinking about it for days afterward. I can honestly say that this book was one that worked in every way for me. I’ve read almost all of her books, and like with any author, you’re going to have some that hit a more resonant chord than others. There were so many times I just stopped and stared at the eloquence of her beautifully descriptive writing, because it was just too good to not savor. There was a simplicity to the story, while her way of expressing it was anything but. I feel like the last 3 chapters were like reading a different book.Lisa Kleypas writes in a way that reminds me why I fell in love with reading romance. a stabbing AND a bombing.🙃 Additionally, I found Ethan Ransom’s plot line to be extremely confusing and the whole bomb plot line in general to make no sense and it felt very rushed.
I don’t love Garrett Gibson as a character, but I appreciate Kleypas writing about a female doctor in England in the late 1800s, as she’s modeled after a real female doctor from that time period Also, my least favorite aspect of HR is that normally in the last few chapters, something insanely dramatic happens like a kidnapping, or in Pandora’s case. (Spoilers ahead for the 3rd book) How different is book 4 from the first 3 books in the series? So far I have absolutely loved the first 3 books in this series. No spoilers please as I haven’t read book 4 yet.
