A Practical Mistress

Hunter Brothers #1

by Mary Brendan

Sir Jason Hunter could not let a young widow fall into ruin when he could so easily help. His intentions were purely honorable, but then the lady herself surprised him with an offer of a carte blanche!

Helen Marlowe's despicable brother had left her nearly penniless, and she knew that becoming Jason's mistress was the only practical solution. She told herself the decision was made with her head, not her heart, and had nothing to do with the way this notorious rake made her feel or the look in his eyes that promised such heady delights...

I personaggi sono uno più stupido dell’altro. Lei è innamorata di Jason, ma non osa proporsi come moglie perché è priva di denaro. Jason è innamorato di lei, ma lei si è dichiarata disposta a essere solo la sua amante, inoltre ha ancora nel cuore il suo caro, adorato, defunto marito. La sorella dell’amante vuole sposare uno spiantato cugino di Jason, ma il fratello George non vuole perché è indebitato fino al collo. Il motivo dei debiti risiede nella moglie di George, Iris, che lo cornifica a destra e a manca senza farne mistero e spende anche la dote delle cognate. George propone all’amico che gli ha concesso un prestito di ripagarlo dandogli come amante prima la sorella minore, poi l’amante di Sir Jason. Ne combinano una dietro l’altra e io mi sono davvero stancata di proseguire la lettura. Mi hanno fatto venire il nervoso.

[Kiyeberries · Rating 1 out of 5]

Boring. Very little romance, emotional or physical.

[Lizz · Rating 2 out of 5]

Bland, this invoked no feeling at all and was boring

[JulianneWells · Rating 1 out of 5]

Undeveloped characters with a lack of building of the romance. Neither Mc was interesting. There was a lot of plot and no depth of feeling, characters, romance or tension. Totally meh

This was a fairly obvious plot though the twist at the end about Jason's sister made things a bit more clear. But really, for all her practicality Helen is an idiot. She keeps taking what Iris, George and the odious Bridgeman seriously and listens and believes what they tell her most of the time.

Cute but the heroine believes what her enemies tell her too much
