Magia d'amore

by Barbara Cartland

1885. Alita viene tollerata nel castello dello zio, il duca di Langstone, solo perché è bravissima ad addestrare i cavalli che il duca alleva per arrotondare le entrate. Al contrario della bella ed elegante cugina Hermione, Alita indossa sempre abiti vecchi e strappati e lei stessa si cura poco della sua persona o della sua pettinatura. Ma la monotona vita di Alita viene travolta dall’arrivo di un ricchissimo americano, Clint Wilbur, intenzionato ad acquistare tutti i cavalli del duca ed a restaurare Marshfield House, la tenuta confinante.

Reviews

[Francesco · Rating 3 out of 5]

Classic Barbara Cartland romance novel: Clean with kisses.

[Raffaella De Leonardo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Una storia molto semplice, dolce e romantica, dal sapore del “tempo che fu”, quando le scene di sesso si limitavano ad “ardenti baci” e niente di più.
Un piacevole e tenero intermezzo rosa per sognare a occhi aperti.

[MissKitty · Rating 4 out of 5]

I quite liked this one.

Different from many of her other ones, in that it is not insta-love, and the Hero and heroine spend a lot of time together, making their journey to love quite plausible.

A good story. It held my interest. Not an amazing plot but enough to keep you reading the story that she wrote.
