Ten Ways to Be Adored When Landing a Lord by Sarah MacLeanMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Considering my standard rating of 4's or 5's, I couldn't help but rate this one was 3, it's not that it's bad or awful, but its for the fact that it had plenty of things that annoyed me. mostly with the heroine.
The Hero was the twin brother from the prequel book Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake and his appearance there gave me a hint of a romantic soul. I wasn't disappointed, he appeared to be more romantic than the heroine actually. He mostly spent his whole life chasing after women, not in the usual sense. First it started as looking for his mother, then it moved after a women he thought he loved, and now with another women he loved. The poor guy, I really felt sympathetic of him, he spent most of the book trying to please the heroine, I know he did some idiotic things, He's a man!! of course he's going to do something idiotic, but the things was he acknowledged his mistakes and apologized and tried to redeem himself to her.
The heroine to me was another matter, I liked her when she interacted with characters other that the Hero, cause when she does interact with him she just end up mucking things up. She's strong, independent and fiercely protective of her own. But when it comes to Nick she finds faults in him, thinks the worse of him, doesn't believe or trust him and every single time gets mad at him. It kinda annoyed me that her reactions were that intense, which led him every time to ask for her forgiveness, and personally I didn't think the faults were that drastic or singularly blamable. I won't ignore that she tried to fix everything in the last part, and I think it was finally good that she admitted and realized her error in judgment and tried to mend it.
- I have to admit my most enjoyable part were the cross-dressing staff, I couldn't help my bark of laughter when I first read that the butler and the stable-master were a "She"
- I also loved the other couple, even though their match wasn't that much of a talk in this book, but I honestly was more interested in their romance than the main couple, they were just so endearingly adorable, the hulk brute of a Turk and a simple blond English miss, the differences between them was a huge attraction to my interests.
Overall, a good read *thumps up*
