ODIO Y PASIÓN

Somerset #1

by Nicola Cornick

Habían compartido un pasado… y ahora tendrían que lidiar con el presente

Por una jugada del azar, la primera persona con la que se encontró el marqués de Mullineaux a su regreso a Inglaterra fue la última a la que habría deseado ver: lady Carberry, la mujer que había escandalizado a la alta sociedad con la ruptura de su compromiso. Ella se mostró tan poco complacida de verlo como él, pero James estaba decidido a conocer la verdad sobre su pasado. Sólo entonces llegaría a descubrir también que, detrás de aquella furia que los enfrentaba, se escondía una pasión que nunca había muerto…

Seven years ago Alicia Broseley jilted James Mullineaux to marry the very wealthy Sir George Carberry, who died on their wedding day. Afterwards, James left England, and has only just returned. But what he never knew was that Alicia was forced into the marriage by her father. Now, when they meet again, not only do they quickly become at cross purposes, despite their deep attraction, but rumors regarding their relationship begin to circulate once again. But Alicia's father has new plans for, which she must evade, and James may be the only one who can help her. Can they discover the truth, not only regarding the past, but also the present, and discover that their happiness truly lies together? A cast of interesting characters combine to create an enjoyable Regency romance.

DNF at 60%. I read the stories out of order. I am at a loss for words. There were a few good parts to the story. However, not enough to keep me reading.

No ha estado mal, pero sé que hubiera disfrutado más esta novela si hubiera podido conectar con los protagonistas. Sin embargo, me ha sido imposible sentir la más mínima empatía con alguno de los dos, y precisamente por eso se me ha hecho larga por demás. Por el contrario, Markus y Caroline, la pareja secundaria, me han parecido encantadores, y ojalá les hubiera dedicado más tiempo (por no decir una novela completa).

Los capítulos son muy largos, a veces los dejaba cuando había un cambio de escenario, cuando me aburría (a ratos).

Satisfying, emotionally! Very clean! Never seen so many exclamation points!

L'espressione raggiante, Alicia e James si incamminarono verso il destino carico di meravigliose promesse che si stendeva roseo davanti a loro.

FINE

E, dentro la mia testa, invece, INIZIA/O a suonare un disco, una melodia che lontana così canta...

Che cos'è l'amor
chiedilo al vento
che sferza il suo lamento sulla ghiaia
del viale del tramonto
all'amaca gelata
che ha perso il suo gazebo
guaire alla stagione andata all'ombra
del lampione san soucì

Che cos'è l'amor
chiedilo alla porta
alla guardarobiera nera
e al suo romanzo rosa
che sfoglia senza posa
al saluto riverente
del peruviano dondolante
che china il capo al lustro
della settima Polàr

Ahi, permette signorina
sono il re della cantina
volteggio tutto crocco
sotto i lumi
dell'arco di San Rocco
ma s'appoggi pure volentieri
fino all'alba livida di bruma
che ci asciuga e ci consuma
….

Vinicio Cpossela, Che cos'è l'amor
