Julia's is a woman who remained a closed in herself, since childhood, beca I have some fascination about the 18th century, with all the history, customs and traditions and I loved this book very, very much!!

And obviously fell in love with the Gents! 😉

Julia's is a woman who remained a closed in herself, since childhood, because of all she suffered, all the deaths and departures she sees as a abandon. She remains a closed person, preferably staying at home, with no friends or family, because she feels that everyone had abandon her. Sometimes, she gave me the feeling that she should step up to her game, but who am I to know how it feels like to lose so much people and not crawl back to myself, to a place where there's no pain... yes, there isn't anything else, but no pain nevertheless. With Lucas and the Gents she opens up to the world and she no longer believe it's better to stay lonely with her books. She begins to trusting her childhood friend again.

Lucas, well Lucas was a handsome (despite there aren't great physical descriptions) adventurer, who thinks that the way to a great and complete life it's through adventures, trips and good times spend with his friends, so he forgot his childhood friend, the one remaining, but his always thinking of her, why we doesn't go back to see her?! You will have to read it and see if you stay satisfied with the answer 🤔

An only remark, it's a pity that the author didn't explore the apparel of the period a little more, this was a time with so much colour and textures that a I should like to see that side a bit more.

After all I have other remark 😉, it was nice to see more or at least some of the sexual relation between the couple, the questions behind the fact that the marriage didn't been consumed certainly passed through their minds. Specially between the talks with L. and the Gents. I understand the author didn't want to put sex in the story but never ever mentioned it felt strange and that's a minus in the story.

I really think I found a new favorite writer, loved the way the characters were built, the funny remarks of the Gents, the dialogues, after all the writing itself. Despite the total lack of steam, sex, etc between the couple. Sometimes I would like to read this kind of author approach to the theme! This book kept me with a smile on my face and a lot of giggles!! Just sweet, fun and loving! ...more "

Sandra’s Quotes

“Angel was too feeble a word for her. She was heaven entire, embodied in a woman’s body. She was every superlative in every ridiculous emotional dictionary printed in a man’s heart.”

“In every life there is a turning point. A moment so tremendous, so sharp and clear that one feels as if one's been hit in the chest, all the breath knocked out, and one knows, absolutely knows without the merest hint of a shadow of a doubt that one's life will never be the same.”
― Julia Quinn, When He Was Wicked
