Hubiese sido un 4 si la protagonista no se mereciera un puño en el ojo. O sea, cuando él al fin la tiene a salvo, ella siempre de insensata sólo salió a exponerse, como la oveja al sacrificio pues, porque "ella no puede estar encerrada". En fin, él como personaje me encantó, es bastante complejo y trata de evitarle la mala fortuna que él tuvo que vivir a muchos, como a Ned el niño de la calle.

Es entretenido el libro, tiene un poco de todo. :3

3.5 stars

So, instead of reading the Hunter Brothers series I read only the O'Rourke sisters books. Just because the first book about Lord Lockwood has a widow h and the last one about Charles has a raped h. Not my thing.

In general I liked it (just like Gina's book, book 4) but didn't love it like Bella's (book 2).

I would have liked more playing between Lilly and Dev (aand more sexy times before the consummation to tense things more).

I loved the gypsies and the Hunters here and there.

There were some inconsistencies like Lilly's practicality disappearing when it was most useful; or when Olney told her Dev had bragged about deflowering her, she was devastated that moment then she forgot about it completely.

I had theories about why Rutherford was so desperate to recover the sapphires, I really thought they had a hidden message about the Blood Wyvern Brotherhood.
Oh, and I was hoping someone "adopted" Ned, at least give him a job in the household or something.

Brilliant!

Unlacing Lilly is full of danger, intrigue, and an enthralling love affair. Devlin will stop at nothing to get his revenge. He is even willing to kidnap Miss Lilly, his enemies fiance, right out of the church. Lilly has backbone and is a spitfire. She completely enchants Devlin but he continues to use her, no matter the cost to her or her reputation. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

It was okay...I liked the characters but the actual plot was confusing.

Credo che il titolo più adatto a questo romanzo sia “Annoiando Elly”. 50 pagine di mortale niente di fatto. Abbandono.

Ironic that I read this because I actually like my fluffy romance to be thicker so there is more to it then just the romance formula.I haven't read a thin little Harlequin Historical book like this since I was in college probably! I enjoyed it much more then I thought I would. Mainly because of the frequent point of view thru the sexy male character, Devlin, and his vulnerability and insecurities. I liked the wit between the 2 main characters. I liked the play on words with the book title and Lily's corset strings.

I judged this book by the cover, but there was more to it then I thought there would be.

Da un desiderio di vendetta può nascere inatteso l'amore... il protagonista di questo romanzo, essendo un figlio illegittimo, ha un forte desiderio di rivalsa nei confronti del fratello che ha avuto una nascita "regolare" e oltre al titolo di conte possiede una splendida fidanzata, perciò, all'inizio, l'amore è l'ultimo dei suoi pensieri, ma i sentimenti spesso si fanno strada in modo imprevisto e non controllabile...

Hmmm, da gibt es wohl noch eine Vorgeschichte, die ich nicht gelesen habe, aber grundsätzlich hat es mir gut gefallen. Ich hatte kurzfristig Befürchtungen, an eines dieser furchtbaren Bodice-Ripper-Bücher geraten zu sein, aber nein, Farrell stellt sich als Mann heraus, der Frauen respektiert - juhu!
