review 1: I picked up this book because I plan to spend a year in France...eventually! I loved how each chapter opened with an essay and I was sometimes annoyed about the remainder of the chapter being made of short, diary-like entries. Yet, I often delighted in how a story could be so sh...

review 1: The perfect kind of romance: funny, heartbreaking, incredibly sexy, ultimately heartwarming. James writes complex characters, particularly independent women, who struggle, believably, against society's restrictions and the inevitability of what the reader knows or hopes will happ...

review 1: This short story only took a couple of hours to read. I haven't read any other books in the series. As expected because it is a novella things happened quickly, a little too quickly really. It was fun though. I liked the character of Sir Griffin Barry, I could picture him in my...

review 1: This was a terrible book with unsympathetic characters going through some mundane event. Nothing really happened. There was a lot of dialogue, which got tiring very soon after I realized that nothing much was happening. The hero and heroine were selfish and had no business gettin...

review 1: I didn't enjoy this one as much because the relationship between the duke and duchess Belmont has been an ongoing subplot since the first book so I just couldn't find it as exciting since it had been so long drawn out. Also it probably doesn't help since I have read so many of th...

review 1: I read this book a while back. It is a short and easy read. We sometimes think about the person we are going to marry need to fit into our list of qualification. That is not always the best way to go about picking a mate. Also if you want to move up the social ladder marriage ...

review 1: I adored this book from the very beginning. Disney's Beauty and the beast is possibly one of my most loved movies and so this book had a lot to live up to in my mind, and it succeeded marvelously. I was drawn in not only by Linnet and Piers's characters but all the other surround...

review 1: Je suis tombée un peu par hasard sur cette romance, et finalement, c’est plutôt une bonne découverte ! Surtout que j’aime beaucoup les réécritures de contes (ici, il est question de Cendrillon).Ma lecture du début de l’histoire fut quelque peu laborieuse. En effet, le récit est l...

review 1: This book has had a lot of negative reviews for a particular reason that I won't get into because spoilers, but I found I didn't mind all that.My main complaint is that that book ran a little further afield of the romantic involvement between the main characters than I like. It w...

review 1: I must confess I was having a love-hate relationship with this series, and since it was the first series I've read by miss James also with her writing. But since I read all those glorious reviews of her fans and I was in need of a new author to love so I kept reading on.I also mu...

review 1: Sangat menarik. Ternyata ini bukan benar-benar cinta segitiga. Cinta segiempat? Tidak juga. Yah aku senang dengan aspek itu yang setiap tokohnya tidak hendak membantai masing-masing saingannya -.-Well, aku hanya memikirkan untuk apa adegan ke Prancis itu. Untuk membuktikan bahwa ...

review 1: Again, like the previous book in this series, this is not your typical regency romance novel. It is more of a drama than what you've may come to expect of miss James. If you're looking for an easy read to forget the real world for a bit, you'd be better of saving this one for ano...

review 1: The first book in this series was really hard to get through due to all of the character introductions. I only got through it, in fact, because I was listening to it in the car. Throughout the first book I was more intrigued by Jemma and Elijah than the actual hero and heroin so ...

review 1: I love the idea of gently retelling classic fairy tales and have been thoroughly enjoying this entire series. Like the rest of the series, this story has a healthy dose of wit and banter between the characters. While it is related to the book that retells the Princess and the Pea...

review 1: ตอนหยิบเล่มนี้มาอ่านไม่ได้คาดหวังอะไรเลย เพราะปกติไม่ค่อยชอบนิยายที่มีธีมมาจากเทพนิยาย/นิทานต่างๆเท่าไหร่แต่พอได้อ่านเท่านั้นแหละ ลบทุกความคิดเลยทีเดียว อ่านรวดเดียวจบชอบบทสนทนาของเรื่องนี้มากๆ ไม่ใช่แค่พระเอก-นางเอก แม้แต่บทสนทนาระหว่างนางเอก-พ่อนางเอก หรือ พระเอก-พ่อบ้าน ก็สนุก...

review 1: เนื้อเรื่องค่อนข้างน่าสนใจ เพราะส่วนตัวชอบ Beauty and the Beast เป็นทุนเดิมแตพออ่านแล้วช่วงแรกๆของนิยายค่อนข้างเฉื่อยๆ ก่อนจะค่อยสนุกและน่าสนใจขึ้นตามลำดับ การโต้ตอบเถียงกันระหว่างพระนางจริงๆมันควรตลก แต่อ่านแล้วส่วนตัวไม่ตลกเท่าไหร่ ออกแนวประชดประชัน แต่นางเอกเราก็สามารถรับทุกคำ...

review 1: It didn't register with me in the beginning that this was a retelling of Cinderella. And then the start of our hero's story was weird and almost put me off the story. But I'm so glad I stuck to it. The weirdness quickly made room for a most delightful story with all the humour an...
