Reviews

[Sandra Braun · Rating 4 out of 5]

Skrivene vatre, izdavač Leo commerce
Fokusirani na nova izdanja često propuštamo starija. Takva je i ova od Sandre Braun, izdata davne 1982 godine.
Radnja knjige smeštena je u Teksasu u vreme osnivanja velikih rančeva i razvoja železnice.
Lauren je odrasla u Južnoj Karolini, savršen primer južnjačke dame sa svim potrebnim moralnim vrlinama. Odrasla kao sveštenička kći kojoj su stararelji bili biskup i njegova supruga ona je devojka za primer. A sad se našla u naizgled bezizlaznoj situaciji, u Teksasu u kući porodice Loket koja vlada malim gradićem nadomak Ostina. I u dogovorenom lažnom braku sa razbludnim sinom porodice Loket....
Zanimljiva knjiga, drži pažnju, dosta me podsetila na knjige od Brende Džojs iz serijala Breg sage

[Caryn · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of my favorite books in this particular genre! The rapport between the main characters starts out rocky but after months of marriage they finally consummated their marriage. Turns out there are many dynamics going on in the story but it comes to a head at the end.

Great story!

Too much unnecessary smut for me but a good story
