[LuvBug · Rating 2 out of 5]

2.5 stars. Sometimes you read a book where you know the story-line is stupid but you hope that the author surprises you and do justice to it. This was one of those books but it didn't come together as I would have liked. The hero seemed weak to me for accepting the heroine's abuse and the heroine was TSTL for believing her sister. This one should have been better.

I found Tara foiling her own plan quite amusing. I found her lack of perception into the wily, deceptive ways of her sister quite maddening. It was terribly sad that she wasted so much time and put the Baron through so much crap because she couldn’t come to the realization sooner that she was in love with him and he was innocent of the actions her sister doled upon him. Tara’s dad disgusted me. I loved Bridget, Tara’s nanny who loves Tara as if she were her own daughter. Of course Bridget raised her so I can understand those feelings. Falcon (the Baron) seems the perfect mate but alas men like that don’t exist in the real world…only in fairy tales.

"3.5" η βαθμολογία μου! Μια καλή ιστορία!

"Πικρή εκδίκηση" - Μάργκαρετ Ρόουμ, Συλλογή 371, έτος έκδοσης: 1982

Η φωνή του βαρόνου Φάλκον αντήχησε κουρασμένη:"Νίκησες Τάρα, θα το έχεις το διαζύγιο που τόσο επιθυμείς!" Είχε κάνει τα πάντα για ν' ακούσει αυτά τα λόγια από το στόμα του κι όμως τώρα τον κοίταζε σαν χαμένη... Ήθελε να του πει πώς τον είχε κρίνει άδικα, πως ήταν τρελά ερωτευμένη μαζί του, αλλά η ιρλανδέζικη περηφάνια της την εμπόδιζε. Άλλωστε , ακόμη κι αν του ομολογούσε τον έρωτά της, δεν θα την πίστευε. Η ίδια του είχε φανερώσει πώς τον παντρεύτηκε μόνο και μόνο για να τον εκδικηθεί για το κακό που νόμιζε ότι είχε κάνει στην αδερφή της...
