A rather slow book.
Not a slow burn but a slow paced.

After hearing that this book was a very hot read I immediately began my search for it and bought it! I had no idea what it was about but on the promise of a good amount of steam I dove into it. While The Seduction delivered in the heat department, it didn’t pass as being a great book for this reader. 3 stars, here is why:
As the most notorious rakehell in Regency London, Lord Damien Sinclair sought only his own pleasure... This is one of those cases where the hero is supposedly a wicked man, taking what he wants and living a total dissolute lifestyle. And Damien is that sort of hero, in the prologue. Once he meets the heroine, Vanessa Wyndham, Damien changes into a completely different man! But we’re not talking about a man changed because he fell in love, we’re talking about a man who completely changes because he doesn’t want to frighten his timid mistress. Vanessa makes an agreement with Damien to become his mistress in order to erase her brothers’ debts to Damien. But he doesn’t want to scare Vanessa so he allows her to set the pace at which they will go to bed together.
What? Ok, first of all, I never understood why Vanessa might be scared of Damien. She wasn’t a virgin, she was a widow, and where she didn’t enjoy that part of her marriage it’s not like she had never been to bed with a man before. Second of all, Vanessa stays scared of Damien for a long time. It just got old.
Then when they finally went to bed together it about made me sick. The prose this author uses literally made me nauseous. Damien called her my angel, my sweet angel over and over again! And the line that just about did me in- Damien rose above her, gazing down into her eyes intently. “Trust me, Vanessa. Together we can find where the stars are born.”
Good grief! I just can’t handle sickening lines like that… and he says it again, as if once wasn’t enough! He says, ”The stars, Angel. Will you come with me?”
After Vanessa and Damien started sleeping together they didn’t stop. They had lots of sex.. this is where the “hot” part of the book comes in. But it’s also where I thought the book took a strange turn. Damien starts to really care for Vanessa so he becomes distant emotionally and he starts instructing her on how to be a proper mistress so that she can find another protector!
The whole book just seemed backward to me and I really would have rather read a book about the secondary plot with his sister, Olivia, and her brother, Aubrey. After making a wager with some friends, Aubrey gets Olivia to fall in love with him and agree to elope. But when Olivia finds out it was all a wager she falls down some stairs and loses the use of her legs. Damien bans Aubrey from ever seeing, speaking to or even writing letters to Olivia. But they start secretly meeting, with the help of Vanessa, and they fall in love. See, their book would have been worth reading!
So, all in all I wouldn’t say this book was a waste of my time, but I can’t really recommend it either.

Bu yorum aynı zamanda Romancekolikte yayınlanmıştır.
Bu yazıyı yıllar yılı önce yazmıştım. Bu sebeple o zaman ki çatlaklığımdan sorumlu tutulmamayı talep ediyorum. :)
Eğer kitabın konusuna dair fikir sahibi değilseniz, büyük ihtimal ne demek istediğimi anlamayacaksınız. Daha önce kitabın özetine bakmışsanız veya yorum okumuşsanız hatta mümkünse kitabı okumuşsanız bunu okumanızı tavsiye etmekteyim.
Ön bilgi olarak karakterlerimizin ismi Damien ve Vanessa. Kitapta çocukları olmasa da ben kendimce olayı komedileştirmek adına çocukları olduğunu ve çocuğun Damien'a (yani babasına) "Annemle nasıl tanıştın Baba?" sorusunu yönelttiğini farz edelim. Oda başlasın anlatmaya. "Dayın olacak adam halanı kaçırdı. Birde üstüne sakatladı. Bende Dayının bütün parasını kumarda kaybetmesine yol açtım. Sonra annen geldi, benden merhamet diledi. Ahlaksız bir teklifte bulunup, metresim yaptım. Tabii, sonradan işler karıştı. Bu eşşek kafalı baban, annen gibi melek bir kadına aşık oldu ama domuz inadı yüzünden kendine itiraf etmesi ne mümkün!
Hani Jerremy amcan varya, benim bu domuz inadımı kırmak için anneni kaçırıp, alı koydu. Bende ona sinirlenip düello teklif ettim. Annen yalvar, yakar oldu ama ben yozlaşmamış bir hayvan gibi davranıp anneni evden kaçırdım. Sonrada son anda düellodan vazgeçip havaya ateş edince, Jerremy amcan kolumdan mıhladı beni. Allahtan iyi bir silahşör değildi. Nalları dikmiştim yoksa! Neyse... Tabii, kurşunu yiyince beyne adrenalinle beraber kan gitti ve aklım başıma geldi. Annene büyük yamuk yapmıştım. O yüzden halanla dayını evermeye karar verdim. Annene de büyük bir servet teklif ettim özgürce yaşabilmesi için. Annende bana minnettarlıkla geldiğinde bende kuzu gibi sevgisi için dilendim. Özetle evlendik, ahanda sen oldun. Al öğrendin hikayeyi yeme başımın etini daha fazla!" diyip hikayeyi anlattığını kurgulamıştım. Aslında bütün bunlar gerçekten oldu! Nasıl mı? Orası kitapta!

Warning: The hero has an intimate scene with another woman in the prologue.

5+. Warning: Extremely HOT read. I know my "passionate" friends here on Goodreads will love this book as I did. If you like authors like Lisa Kleypas, Lisa Valdez, and Stephanie Laurens you'll like Nicole Jordan as well!
Provocative plot and fast paced....you will not get bored!
First paragraph.....
London, March 1810
"The silken bonds bit into his wrists with exquisite pressure, heightening the sense of pleasure. A willing captive, Damien Sinclair lay defenseless, his bare arms fastened to the bedposts with scarves of scarlet silk....."

If you like your rakes jaded and your romance hot, this book is for you. The heroine agrees to be the hero's mistress to save her family, but soon learns that being a mistress has certain…er…attractions. Unfortunately, she's fallen in love with the hero, and he isn't sure he can ever love. It takes all her will to bring him around.
August 10, 2010
There is no other way to say it....this book is HOT, HOT, HOT! A friend recommended it to me, saying it was some of the "steamiest" yet emotional books out there....I must say after spending all day reading, I agree wholeheartedly! Only "Passion" by Lisa Valdez rivals this book in this regard.
At it's core, this is a "reformed rake" story. I am an absolute sucker for this type of hero and story line, so this was absolutely "my cup of tea".
Damien Sinclair, aptly nicknamed "Sin" is the consummate rake. He lives a life of excess, mostly of the "flesh". His exploits with women are legendary and he DOES NOT believe in love. Vanessa Wyndham is a widow who has never known passion, and believes herself incapable of such.
Vanessa agrees to become Damien's mistress to keep him from ruining her family financially (Damien is out to avenge his sister Olivia whom Vanessa's brother Aubry wronged)! Confused? It is actually a very straight forward plot that captures you right from the start.
The first half of this book could be categorized as Damien's PURSUIT and the second half as Damien's RETREAT. His seduction of Vanessa was absolutely mesmerizing. She didn't have a chance! Damien's "goodness" shows through and he is so easy to fall in love with. Then it's almost like he turns a switch. As his heart becomes more involved and his attachment to Vanessa grows, he literally "runs" away. Emotionally and at times physically to escape the scary feelings she evokes in him. His "ah ha" moment is truly memorable and how he goes about wooing her back is the "ultimate romantic gesture". I loved it.
Now for the "spice" factor. This is a erotic novel....not erotica, but certainly a higher level of sensuality than almost anything I've read. I loved it. With Damien's background and experiences, this was never going to be a "PG" book, and I felt the sensuality moved the plot forward and never became distasteful or overdone.
The secondary romance, although not fully developed, was sweet and satisfying. I recommend this book highly!

Primeira leitura: Faz tempo que enrolo para ler esse livro, e nem imagina o porquê!
Li a sinopse ontem e na hora me interessei!
Para "salvar" sua família da ruína, Vanessa aceita se passar por dama de companhia para a irmã do Lorde Sin (Lorde Pecado), bem como, ser sua amante até o final da temporada.
Claro que o livro é clichê!
Já imaginamos tudo o que acontece: Mocinha inteligente, mocinho gostoso, libertino que se vê querendo cada vez mais a companhia da mocinha.
Mas, esse livro tem um plus! Que na minha opinião, é o que deixa o romance mais difícil!
Por que como sabemos, antes da bonança, vem sempre a tempestade!
O livro tem umas pegadas bem eróticas. E falo em alto e bom som: Lorde Sin entende dos paranauês! rsrsrsr
Super bem escrito.

3 stelline e mezzo
La serie NOTORIUS di Nicole Jordan risale al 2000 e sembra davvero appartenere al secolo precedente per gusto e scrittura.
In realtà la trama non è così male: un giovane visconte pensa bene di burlarsi, con effetti disastrosi, di una giovanissima gentildonna.
Soltanto che non ha fatto i conti con il fratello di lei, il temuto barone Sinclar. Quindi, se per la ragazza si prospetta la gogna sociale, sulla famiglia Rutherford cala l'implacabile vendetta economica.
Come un effetto domino, stavolta è la sorella maggiore del disgraziato a dover rimboccarsi le maniche per trovare una soluzione che consenta di sopravvivere alla rovina.
Insomma, un vero e proprio intreccio di vite e parentele, ciascuno spinto da valide ragioni.
Aggiungeteci che il barone è anche il lord Sin, il libertino più desiderato e spietato di Londra e che Vanessa Ruthford ha già patito abbastanza dalla vita, quindi ha poco da perdere, tanto da accettare persino compromessi disdicevoli.
Nel complesso, un po' tutti i personaggi hanno un certo spessore, sia i fratelli maggiori che i minori.
Sino a un certo punto ho anche apprezzato la lettura, però ho trovato davvero troppe scene di sesso (ma proprio tante, com'era il trend inizio secolo, appunto) che hanno finito per rallentare il ritmo; inoltre avrei fatto a meno del tour Cinquanta sfumature nella Londra d'inizio ottocento e mi ha parecchio infastidito la compagnia di ricchi e allegri debosciati di cui è membro Sin e su cui dovrebbe poi basarsi il resto dei volumi della serie: nell'ansia di dipingerli cinici e tormentati, la Jordan porta un po' tutto all'estremo.
Magari ci stava per rendere un po' sostanziosa l'ambientazione, però mi chiedo come farà poi a risalire la china e a trasformare certa gentaglia in eroi/principi azzurri. Sarà dura.
Siccome è il primo volume, voto medio e penso che proseguirò la serie.

Lord Damien Sinclair (Lord Sin) is a pleasure seeking skirt chaser who indulges in all sorts of debauchery along with his Lordly Hellfire League cohorts. I got it within the first few pages…truly I did, so repeating it at every turn of a page was completely unnecessary.
However, in every book there is a moment or two where a comment or an action or both is touching.
Sin to Vanessa at the end.
“Will you have me though I come to you corrupt, my armour tarnished with sin and decadence?”
I'm not sure I would have.
Read this book if you must but it’s not a keeper for me.

3 ½ star. For about 70% the book was decently paced and successfully maintained a balance between plot, emotional development and passion.
But the last 30% was like last days of Rome. Too much debauchery and OTT actions to tie up the plot made a mockery out of the early slow burn romance.
I'm glad H's sister and h's brother romance plot was resolved in the same book.

I honestly couldn't enjoy this book at all. Not only was it badly phrased but the storyline made me cringe.
After being an ass in the beginning of the book. The hero was never able to redeem himself in my eyes. He degraded and abused the heroine.I understood that he was upset and hurt because the heroine's brother had all but ruiend his sister. But maybe if he was not busy being an absentee guardian, this situation could have been avoided entirely.
*Spoiler Alert*
I grant that heroine's brother, Rutherford, had acted in a despicable manner. He played a cruel joke on Heroes sister making her believe that he was in love with her and convinced her to elope with him only to win a wager. However he never wanted to physically harm her, when she fell and injured herself it was merely an accident. Damien never considers this, which makes me feel like he wants to compensate for his own guilt.
Being the boorish man that he was, Damien Sinclair set out to ruin the heroine's brother. Since he had promised his sister that he wouldn't physically hurt the man she loved, he decided to ruin him financially.
Personally, I think this was amazingly pathetic. He thought of nobody but himself and his need for petty revenge. He ignored the fact that ruining Rutherford could have other consequences, which was understandable when he had never met any of them or had any interaction with them.
What really made me hate him was his reaction when the heroine, Vanessa Wyndham came to him, confessing the dire straits of their family. Instead of being a benevolent, protective hero that i need him to be. He degrades her and asks her to be his mistress. And the poor things, she's so desperate that she had to go through with it.
Thinking about how this must have made her feel, really made me my heart sink. At that time, being disgraced in this manner, made her position in society very precarious. She was now open to unpleasant attentions from all the rake hells of the demimonde. He saw this and still didn't relent. Vanessa realized that there was no going back into her genteel world. At this point, she decided to become a prostitute to support her family. She went to him and asked him to train her to please men. The despicable man agreed. I was never going to forgive him for this. NEVER.
At this point i just didn't know what to think. What had this man done? Where was this book going? At this points, I was so frustrated with the storyline. The book continued with a bunch of love making scenes. If you could call them that? More like, crash course on how to become a prostitute. I was too disgusted to read them. I skipped most of them.
He did repent. He tried to change everything. He tried to marry her and do right by her. He realized he loved her, he forgave her brother. But it was too little and too late for me. I hated him every molecule of my body.
And on top of everything i didn't like the authors writing style in this particular book. I have read a bunch of other books by her and I didn't feel like they were lacking in any way. I actually happened to enjoy 'To Pleasure A Lady' very much. But in this book, i felt like there was no flow, every time things were going fine. The hero happened to say something strange to kill it. At one point, I got so frustrated that i got my red pen out and started scratching things and making notes on the margins. lol
I feel like such a Hatter for saying all these things. But this is my honest opinion. I might be biased because the storyline put me off. So feel free to actually read the book and make your own decision about it.

I did not like the story line.
Damien has never loved anyone. He starts falling in love with Vanessa and decides he doesn't want to be in love. CAUTION SPOILERS: So, he acts cold and indifferent to her, and lets her believe he doesn't care anymore. Later he changes his mind and allows himself to admit he loves her. That's it. That's the main story. I can see this happening in some cases. For example, a student with financial needs must spend all his time studying and working and has no time to get involved with romance. But this is different. Damien is a wealthy man with time on his hands. If he loves someone and feels wonderful when with her, he will want to keep being with her. In this story he deprives himself for no good reason. The reason provided by the author had to do with his father having mistresses and a failed marriage.
Aside from that problem, the writing left something to be desired. Nothing surprised or delighted me. Events were predictable. It was a standard romance novel with a bunch of sex scenes. It was ok, but I wouldn't recommend buying it.
DATA:
Sexual language: moderate. Number of sex scenes: twelve. Setting: 1810 London England. Copyright: 2000. Genre: regency romance.

:-) Uau
uma estreia nesta autora muito positiva.
gostei da história e dos personagens com os seus demónios e temores. uma história ao mesmo tempo com uma certa crueza mas também com alguns cenas emotivas.
sem dúvida uma série a ler. :-)

Entretenido y olvidable. Un libertino en busca de venganza que cae en las redes del amor, no me importa el cliche, pero si que me den algo diferente.

(Rake Hero/Widowed Lady Turned Mistress Heroine)
First impressions are so important, and as such, were very interesting to the characters within this book. Both Damien and Vanessa share a common quirk- loyalty, family loyalty. While Damien is a charming rake, his boldness is only outshone by his love for his sister, Olivia, who was paralyzed by an accident that lay on Vanessa's brother Audrey's head. No doubt Vanessa is a woman to admire, coming to aid her mother and younger two sisters in rescuing them from loosing their family home which Audrey had gambled away- to Damien. While Vanessa may be willing to do anything to save her family, Damien is just as willing to do anything to ruin it. Both character's stubbornness is answered by breaking the impasse by the shocking proposal set by Damien for Vanessa to act as his mistress, thereby ruining Audrey's family and allowing them to keep their home.
Overall, the plot was fairly simple, centering around the actions of Audrey and Olivia. Despite how simple the story seemed, the basis of it's makeup lay at the emotional interplay between the two characters, focusing on the fact that Damien fought tooth and nail against the idea of falling in love with Vanessa.
Truly, I have nothing bad to say about this book. The pacing was very good, and I mostly admire how Jordan never once had "needless" scenes- every action within the story went towards progressing the plot. I also adored how the author constructed the hero. Unlike many other romances in which the hero in labeled a rake and often they truly don't act as such, with this story, Damien was a rake without question. His actions, both past and present, were very self-involved.
Often times, his disregard for Vanessa, after the start of their physical relationship, was absolutely retched. And yet, the heroine was written fabulously. Vanessa's character was absolutely one of my favorites from Jordan- despite being selfless and caring for her family, she endured whatever she had to from Damien in order to survive. She was not weak by any means, yet she did not sulk in her situation.
I also was very impressed with the idea that Jordan wrote the story in such a way that it was believable. Vanessa having been a widow, I could legitimately see her becoming a mistress to save her family. Along these same lines, I admired the fact that Damien did not rush headlong into the sexual aspects of his relationship with Vanessa at the beginning. I feel that if Damien had disregarded Vanessa's fear and uncertainty- rather than waiting for her to become accustom to the idea of her new role- I would've probably not enjoyed this character at all!
However, despite all my admoration for this novel, I can't quite bring myself to note it at a five star, simply because towards the end I really felt Jordan drug the story on a bit longer than necessary, especially the last several pages of the final chapter and epilogue. Still, not a waste of time at all! Another good read, no doubt!

Kitap ile ilgili yorumuma geçmeden önce ben de uyandırdığı duyguları dile getirmeliyim. Kitabı gerçekten beğendim.
En sevdiğiniz çikolatayı aldıktan hemen sonra inceden bir fikir sızar ya zihninize 'ben bunu sonra yerim' dersiniz ve ertelersiniz ama canınız çekiyordur ve en sonunda dayanamayarak afiyetle mideye indirirsiniz. Tam o anda 'bu bana kilo aldırır mı?' diyerek kendinizi sorugularsınız. İşte bu kitabı elime aldığım ve bitirdiğim evre tam olarak bu. Kitap bitiminde ise bu kitap bana ne katar düşüncesi yer etti zihnimde. Çoğu kişi aşk romanlarının içi boş salt erotizm olduğu kanısında sağlam fikirler güdse de öyle değil!
Evet. Bu kitabın birçok katkısı oldu. Tipik 'Bestseller' olmasına rağmen katkısı oldu. Örneğin aile bağlarının önemli oluşunu bir kez daha kavradım. Her şeyden önce dürüst olunması gerektiğini. Evet. Tipik aşk romanında kadınla adamın dibine kadar aşka battığı bu kitapta faydalı olduğunu düşündüğüm püf noktaları vardı.
Yazarı anlatmama gerek yok zaten. Methini bilmeyen yoktur. Ve bu türü seven çoğu kişi gözü kapalı tavsiye eder okunması için. Eh o kafileye ben de katıldım.
Gel gelelim kitabın konusuna.
Çapkınlığı ve ahlaksızlığı dillere destan olan Londra'nın en hızlı çapkını Lord Sinclair'ın hayatı kardeşinin talihsiz bir kaza sonucu sakat kalmasıyla değişiyor. Kız kardeşinin elim bir kaza sonucu sakat kalması adamımızı hırslanmasını sağlar ve öfkelendirir. Kardeşinin bu halde oluşuna neden olan kişiden yaptıklarının hesabını soracaktır fakat kendini farklı bir durumun ortasında bulur.
Vanessa Wyndham ağabeyinin kumar borcu için Lord Sinclair ile görüşecek ve adamı en azından zaman vermesi için ikna etmeyi düşünüyordur. İşin iç yüzü ise başkadır. Bir boğa kadar öfkeli olan adamı ikna edemez. İstediği dışında bir durumun merkezi olurken Sinclair'ın Ahlaksız Teklif'ini kabul etmek durumunda kalır.
Kitap enfes bir tattı benim için. Çokça beğenimi kazandı. İçerik olarak erotik sahneler var, zaten tarihi ask romanlarının çoğunda bu unsur mevcut. Aslında çoğu aşk romanında bu mevcut. Çok fazla rahatsız olacağınızı düşünmüyorum.
Bu türü seviyorsanız, okumanızı tavsiye ederim.
Şimdiden keyifli okumalar ^_^

Il libro di Damien Sinclare, o lord Sin. Eccolo, finalmente! Il primo libro di questa magnifica serie :woot: Che dire... Mi sono innamorata di Damien fin dal primo istante! Anche in questo libro c'è un accordo tra lui e la sorella dell'ragazzo che ha osato prendersi gioco della sorellina di Damien. Lord Sin è subito attratto da Vanessa, perché in lei vede qualcosa di diverso, e le propone di diventare la sua amante per la stagione. Vanessa vuole salvare la sua famiglia a tutti i costi e accetta, certa che giacere con il fondatore della Lega dell'Inferno (qui chiamata con il nome originale Hellfire League) sarà un'esperienza tremenda. Che illusa! Damien è fantastico e le dimostrerà che fare l'amore non è terribile come lei ha sempre pensato, visto il suo precedente matrimonio. Finché Vanessa non gli chiede di insegnargli a compiacere gli uomini per diventare una prostituta d'alto bordo e trovare così un protettore quando lui si sarà stancato di lei. Oooh :woot: Vedere Damien perdere le staffe è stato straordinario :wub: Libro bellissimo, ma Dare rimane in cima alla classifica :P

Gostei tanto deste livro por todas e mais algumas razões, primeiro porque já tinha saudades de um romance de época bem escrito, porque adorei a maneira como ela Vanessa surge na história (porque é que há sempre uma aposta qualquer????), o terrível Lord Sin com todos os seus defeitos acaba por ser uma personagem e tanto, no inicio irritou-me mas depois conseguiu cativar-me totalmente, a irmã dele era o máximo (passa de inválida a apaixonada de uma forma soberba)!
Em suma um bom romance que me manteve acordada até altas horas para o acabar...estou curiosa com o novo dela!

Става, но има твърде много любов, чак ти се отщява да четеш. Не беше балансирана откъм еротика-интрига-любов, еротиката твърде много надделяваше. Накратко историята е за известен донжуан с прозвището Лорд Грях, който съблазнява жените. Ванеса успява да му влезе под кожата и да го превърне в любящ мъж. Де такъв късмет и в истинския живот.

Não consigo dar mais porque no início tudo parece acontecer muito depressa. Principalmente pintarem um quadro tão negro em volta de Olivia e com uma única conversa a Vanessa faz o que quer dela! Mas amo sempre uma história de um libertino domado :-)

Cuando Vanessa decide hacerse cortesana, le pide a Damien que le enseñe y él acepta, enserio, me mató.

A ver.
No me gustan las historias de libertinos que no creen en el amor y lucharán contra lo que sienten porque sus padres los traumaron y bla, bla ,bla.
Damien no solo que no cree en el amor sino tampoco en la pasión ni en la obsesión por una mujer. Así que vive el placer como algo mas bien frío, mecánico. Me enferman.
Pero lo que tiene Damien también es sed de venganza por lo que le pasó a su hermana. Una sed que aniquila su entendimiento y hace brotar sus emociones. Y eso me gusta.
Amo las de venganza. ¡Mbuajaja!
Es mi espíritu escorpiano que surge de mis profundidades.
Reconozco que es un hijo de p... que querrá vengarse arruinando la reputación de la hermana del hermano que daño a la suya.
Pero como sabemos lo que va sintiendo, al igual de lo que siente Vanessa porque gracias a Dios es una novela en tercera persona, veremos que la cosa no es tan simple.
Sé que por aquí se le ha dado bastante duro a Damien, pero a mí me encantó: su lado sórdido, sus conflictos internos, sus cambios. Y Vanessa no se le queda atrás.
Y no le pongo 5 estrellas por dos motivos:
- Me encanta la erótica histórica y creo que esta no llega a erótica, a pesar de la gran cantidad de sexo que tiene, porque juzga demasiado al sexo 'pervertido'. Juzga demasiado lo que es bueno o malo en el sexo y termino con las sensación de que sin amor es malo y si es a lo 'misionero' mejor. Aclaro, no es que piense que con amor no es mejor sino que no me gusta demonizar al otro.
-El epílogo. Creo que tienen que ser cortos, aclaratorios y no más. Y en esta novela .
Aunque tiene mucho sexo el lenguaje no es burdo sino, excesivamente romantico.

Para empezar, no es romántica. Es erótica ejem. Si es que se le puede llamar así, lo único que me ha hecho es aumentar, calentar, palpitar... esa vena que tengo en la frente.
Seguimos, él es un gilipollas que no aguanto. Gilipollas, egoísta, ególatra, hipócrita, empalagoso, zalamero...
A ella no la entiendo, no sé qué ha visto en él. También tiene un punto que no soporto.
Resumiendo: no he disfrutado nada, estaba molesta todo el tiempo y lo único que deseaba era terminar. No lo recomiendo.
Ahora voy con un breve resumen con spoilers:
Pues Lord Gilipuertas obliga a la prota a prostituirse, le dice que no la tocará a menos que ella quiera, pero la acosa colándose en su habitación todas las noches. Yo empiezo a saltarme todas las escenas de sexo porque me parece repulsivo. Se obsesiona con ella, ella ha perdido toda su reputación y cree que su único camino es meterse a scort. Le pide que le enseñe y él, yupi guay.
Y yo tengo ganas de meterme en el libro y arrancarle un piño cada vez que Lord Gilipuertas abre la boca. De repente ella está enamorada, él al final también. Para mí se redime tarde. Llega el epílogo más largo que un día sin pan y puedo estar feliz de saltármelo. Fin
